Five-Year Old Prophet is Pampered by Ten Brothers
Chapter 108 - Double-Standard Grandmother
Even though Master Maverick had said that there was nothing wrong with Lauren, her attitude towards Lauren had not changed.
She still did not like Lauren.
Lauren subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at Franklin.
She knew Franklin’s character. This doll was found in Franklin’s room and it was hard for him to explain, so she had come out to help.
“I snuck into my brother’s room today and accidentally left the doll here.”
Lauren’s voice became softer and softer, but Gertrude could still hear it clearly.
“Franklin is the head of the family, so his room is not easily accessible. Besides, in the Torres family, you have to follow the rules. Who allowed you to enter other people’s rooms?”
Lauren thought, ‘Then why did you agree to let Master Maverick in on Franklin’s behalf just now? What a double-standard!’
Lauren did not talk back to Gertrude as she wanted to solve the problem.
“Alright, Grandma, it’s not a big deal. Let’s continue, don’t waste Master Maverick’s time.”
Gertrude glanced at Lauren who was hugging the bunny in her arms. “You can think about it in your own room. Don’t follow us.”
Lauren stood at the same spot and nodded.
Everyone went out one by one. Lauren walked at the back with her head lowered. Franklin took the opportunity to rub Lauren’s hair. He did not say anything but left with the rest of the team.
The warmth of Franklin’s hands made Lauren feel a lot better. She only relaxed when she returned to her room.
Sigh, it was much more tiring to deal with Gertrude than to catch a ghost.
After running around for a whole day, Lauren lay on the bed and fell asleep without realizing it.
When she woke up again, the sky was almost dark. There was only a faint light in the sky above the distant mountains.
The sun was also resting.
Lauren stretched herself and heard Mr. Hayes calling for her to have dinner.
“I’m coming, I’m coming!” Lauren’s face was still sleepy and she rubbed her face.
It felt really good.
“Mr. Hayes, is Grandma still here?” Lauren asked in a low voice.
Mr. Hayes smiled and shook his head. “She didn’t stay and she has already returned to the temple.”
“Oh…”
“The Old Madam usually spends three to four months a year at the temple eating vegetarian food and praying to the Gods and Buddhas to protect the Torres family. She’s only going earlier this year. Don’t think too much about it, Miss Torres.”
Lauren pouted.
“She just doesn’t like me! I don’t like her either. She’s so fierce!”
Mr. Hayes had originally wanted to comfort her. After all, he expected Lauren to be bothered by it. He smiled and pinched Lauren’s face.
When she reached the first floor, Lauren saw the clock hanging on the wall.
It was actually half past six. She had slept for quite a long time.
She looked left and right. “Mr. Hayes, where is my brother? Is he in the study room?”
Mr. Hayes shook his head and pointed to the front yard. “Master Franklin and Master Quinn are in the front yard.”
Lauren walked to the door and saw the two tall figures, Franklin and Quinn.
After taking a closer look, she could clearly see that Franklin was pinching Quinn’s ear while Quinn was begging for mercy.
Lauren allowed her spiritual consciousness to capture the conversation between Franklin and Quinn.
“Be gentle, Franklin!”
Judging from Quinn’s voice, one could tell that he was in a lot of pain from the pinching.
Hmph, serves him right.
“If I am gentle, don’t you remember? Do you not have a good memory? Why did you create such a scene today?”
“I was just afraid that you would be bewitched by that girl, alright? Who would have thought that you, the CEO of the Torres Corporation, would be able to catch a ghost. If it were anyone else, they would have thought that you were bewitched.”
“I think you’re bewitched.”
“Don’t let Grandma know about anything in the future, do you hear me?!”
“I hear you, I hear you.”
After hearing Quinn’s promise, Franklin finally let go of Quinn.
Quinn rubbed his ears and jumped around.
“You almost tore my ears off. You’re so ruthless.”
Franklin ignored Quinn’s complaints and said, “Stay out of Lauren’s business. It’s fine if you don’t like her, but don’t make fun of her. She’s just a child. Don’t you think it’s embarrassing for you to mess around with her?”
Quinn knew that he was in the wrong, so he quickly agreed to Franklin’s suggestion.
The two of them chatted for a while more before heading back to the Torres Mansion.
Lauren was already sitting at the dining table and ready to eat.
After waking up, her stomach was already growling.
“Wow! There’s beef today! And there’s chicken drumsticks!”
Lauren was so happy that she clapped her hands, as if those things that happened in the afternoon did not exist.
Franklin actively helped Lauren with the dishes and sighed. He did not know if this kind of carefree personality was good or bad.
Of course, Quinn soon found out that even if Lauren seemed carefree, she was still holding a grudge against him.
Not sure if it was his imagination, but every time Quinn took a fancy to a piece of meat and wanted to pick it up, Lauren was always faster than him to snatch it away.
It was as if she knew his next move.
He did not have a decent meal since he got back!
