Chapter 209: CEO’s Image Collapsed

Before she could finish her sentence, Sean had already changed his clothes and came downstairs.

When she saw Sean again, Lauren was no longer so nervous. However, she still did not know how to get along with him, so she kept quiet. She only looked at him carefully from time to time.

Lauren glanced at the clock in the living room. It was only 6:30 am. It seemed that the two of them had a very healthy schedule.

Sean sat across from the two of them.

As the head of the family and her father, he felt that he should say something to her now.

However, when Lauren left, she was still a baby girl in swaddling clothes. Now that she had grown up into a young girl, Sean did not know what to say to Lauren. However, Maria kept winking at him, so he coughed and cleared his throat.

“You’re up so early?” There were only four people in the living room. It was impossible for Sean to say this to Maria or Aunt Ricci. He could only say it to Lauren.

Lauren raised her head.

“I’m not used to the bed, so I didn’t sleep very well.”

Sean nodded.

He was not a person who was good at small talk.

So, he thought hard for a while.

“Have some more porridge.”

“Oh…”

So, Lauren obediently lowered her head and drank the porridge again.

Lauren felt very happy as she wasn’t rejected as she had expected. She drank the porridge with relish.

Throughout the whole breakfast, Maria kept talking to Lauren and asking her about her recent situation. Meanwhile, Sean was listening attentively by the side.

After breakfast, Lauren felt that she had got closer to Maria.

“You are in kindergarten now, right?”

“Yeah, I’ve only been in kindergarten for a week!”

“Is kindergarten fun?”

“It’s fun! We can have music lessons and origami lessons.”

Speaking of origami, Lauren was a little excited. She remembered the origami cranes she had specially folded in her school bag.

“Can you wait here for a while? I need to go and get some things.”

“Of course, go ahead.”

So, Lauren went upstairs and took her school bag down.

They had already finished breakfast and were now sitting on the carpet in front of the coffee table.

The carpet was very soft and warm. Lauren stepped on it barefooted.

Lauren’s school bag was bought by Mr. Hayes. There were many beautiful princesses on it, and Lauren liked it very much.

She took out two sets of thousand origami cranes from her school bag and handed the purple origami crane to Maria.

“I folded this for you.”

“For me?”

Maria held the origami crane with both hands happily. She looked left and right and kept nodding.

“It’s beautiful!”

Then, Maria put the origami crane on the cabinet in front of the TV.

Lauren was very happy to see her work treated so preciously by Maria.

Then, she looked at Sean who was sitting on the sofa. After hesitating for a while, she picked up another origami crane and walked toward Sean with small steps.

She did not speak to Sean. Instead, she quietly placed the origami crane on the sofa beside Sean.

Sean was reading today’s newspaper. When he noticed Lauren’s movements, he put down the newspaper.

As a man in his fifties, Sean had no interest in origami cranes at all, but he still thanked Lauren in a stiff tone.

Lauren also replied with a stiff tone, “You’re welcome.”

The third conversation between them ended awkwardly once again.

This was the scene that Franklin saw when he came downstairs. Although it was not a perfect scene, it was still a harmonious one.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a half-smile and hesitation in the eyes of the people in the living room. He suddenly realized that he had not changed his clothes and had gone downstairs after washing up in a daze.

He was still wearing the same pajamas as Lauren’s.

Oh no!

His image as an overbearing CEO was about to collapse.

He was about to turn around and go upstairs to change into his pajamas when he was stopped by Lauren.

“Franklin, come over quickly!”

He had no choice but to brace himself and go downstairs to greet everyone.

Maria had always felt a little guilty for her eldest son. Her eldest son had taken on the responsibility too early, causing him to become very taciturn. He was very sensible, but he had lost some of the vigor and willfulness that a young person should have.

He always did things step by step without making any mistakes. He might be a perfect child in the eyes of others, but she just wanted her son to be happy.

However, when Maria saw Franklin walking down the stairs in his yellow duckling pajamas today, she felt as if she had suddenly traveled back in time to more than ten years ago.

Underneath this 23-year-old Franklin, she could see the innocent 13-year-old Franklin.

As a mother, she loved to see it.
