Five-Year Old Prophet is Pampered by Ten Brothers

Chapter 175 - Master Bryce

Chapter 175: Master Bryce

Perhaps Quinn was being overly suspicious because of the recent events.

When he heard Lauren mention that there was a person squatting outside their house, the image of a male ghost floating in front of the Torres mansion immediately popped up in his mind.

His lips turned white.

Quinn whispered in Franklin’s ear, “Franklin, do you think that Lauren is talking about…a ghost?”

Franklin thought for a moment before he figured out who Lauren was talking about.

“Did you contact Bryce?”

Then Quinn suddenly remembered that he had called Bryce to come home this weekend.

When the car stopped steadily at the entrance of the Torres mansion, they finally realized that the person sitting on the stairs was their third brother, Bryce.

He was still wearing his school uniform and his school bag was casually placed on the ground.

His head was resting on his knees as if he was asleep.

The seat of this seven-seater car was rather high and Lauren could not get down by herself. Therefore, Franklin had to carry Lauren down with him.

Bryce raised his head when he heard the sound of footsteps. His face was filled with resentment.

“What the hell? It’s not easy for me to make a trip home, but there’s actually no one at home. I’ve been ringing the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered.”

Bryce’s expression reminded Lauren of a puppy.

Quinn quickly went forward to apologize.

“Hey, I really didn’t know you were coming back today. You didn’t call me in advance.”

Bryce’s eyes widened. “You’re blaming me for this?”

Franklin walked forward and placed Lauren on the ground safely. He looked at his third brother, Bryce, whom he had not seen for a long time.

“Who else can we blame other than you? You don’t even have the keys to your own house?”

At that moment, Mr. Hayes had already gotten off the car with the help of Ben.

The moment he saw Bryce, he quickened his pace.

“Master Bryce is back?”

“Mr. Hayes, why didn’t you tell me that you were going out? I was so miserable waiting here all by myself.”

Bryce was very different from his two older brothers. Franklin was the cold type, Quinn was the flirtatious type, while Bryce was the most handsome guy on campus. Not only was he cool and handsome, he was also cute and lovely.

Just a moment ago, he was fierce to Quinn, but now, he was already speaking amicably to Mr. Hayes.

Mr. Hayes quickly walked over and patted Bryce on the shoulder.

“You must be exhausted. Master Bryce, come in and have a rest. The third year of high school must be very tiring, right?”

Bryce nodded and allowed Mr. Hayes to pull him in.

Throughout the entire process, Lauren stood by Franklin’s side. However, Bryce did not look at Lauren at all. It was as if she was invisible. It was even worse than when Quinn made a big fuss at her back then; at the very least, it proved that Lauren still had some presence.

Franklin was keenly aware the strength of Lauren’s grip on his hand had suddenly increased a little.

Franklin knew that although Lauren did not say anything, she was very concerned about the attitude of the Torres family.

He squatted down and looked at Lauren, who turned around and looked directly at Franklin.

“Lauren, you just have to be yourself. There’s no need to deliberately curry favor with anyone. They will ultimately find something good in you, just like Quinn.”

After hearing what Franklin said, Lauren remembered that at the beginning she was also blocked by Quinn at the door, and he had said all those nasty things to her. After that, Lauren ran away from home because of Quinn.

But now, hadn’t they become very good siblings?

When Lauren thought of this, she became full of confidence.

However, Franklin spoke again.

“You should have a general understanding of that boy just now. He is your third brother, his name is Bryce. As he is the youngest son, our parents doted on him very much. He is also very attached to our mother. Because of this, he may be more resistant to you. Don’t take it to heart. Everything will slowly get better with time.”

Franklin’s words did not comfort Lauren, instead it made her more worried.

She remembered how Bryce acted coquettishly with Mr. Hayes just now. He was the same as Lauren in this aspect.

In the living room, Bryce was rummaging for food as he said he was very hungry.

So Mr. Hayes quickly asked Ben to help prepared the hot pot in the kitchen.

“What did you buy from the supermarket? When you eat hotpot, you must rinse the beef.”

Mr. Hayes started to prepare the ingredients for the hotpot while looking at Bryce lovingly. “We bought a lot of meat. You can eat as much as you want today.”

“That’s good. I can’t eat my fill every day at school. The food in our school canteen is terrible!”

“Really? Then Master Bryce has to come back every weekend. I’ll cook for you every time.”

“Okay. Mr. Hayes is the best.”
