Chapter 217: Reconciled
“Meat, meat, meat! I want to eat meat! Sigh, my brain cells are all dead from doing the math test this afternoon. Now I have to make up for it!”
Bryce picked up the beef and mutton rolls that he bought today and poured some into the spicy pot.
“Dad, put more in! Aren’t we all eating spicy food?”
Perhaps it was because of the cold weather, Franklin also ate a lot of spicy food today.
Sean ignored Bryce, and poured half of the meat in the non-spicy pot.
Quinn took a look. Just as Lauren said, all the meat they bought was lean.
As the beef roll was very thin, it took about ten seconds to be ready.
Just as Quinn was about to reach with his chopsticks, Sean placed a spoonful of beef roll into his bowl.
Sean’s tone was firm and sounded angry, but his actions showed that he was concerned.
“Eat more meat. Look at how thin you are.”
Through the steam, Lauren could see the change in Quinn’s expression. After the initial shock, he was moved by Sean’s words.
Quinn placed a piece of meat into his mouth. The meat was very fragrant and tender, and it was very delicious.
With Franklin and Maria sitting on both sides of Lauren, Lauren was not afraid of having nothing to eat. On the contrary, her bowl was full.
Bryce felt jealous when he saw how well Lauren and Quinn were being treated.
“Why doesn’t anyone give me anything to eat? I’m the one who needs the most care in this family. I’m a high school student!!”
No one paid any attention to him. Everyone was eating happily.
Bryce glared at Lauren. As expected, this person bewitched everyone everywhere she went.
Maria rarely ate meat. She was a vegetarian, so after they finished eating the beef and lamb rolls, they put in the vegetables.
Quinn picked up a mouthful of vegetables. After hesitating for a while, he put the vegetables into Sean’s bowl.
As soon as he finished, he immediately withdrew his hand and looked away, as if he wanted to pretend he didn’t do it.
“Eat more vegetables,” he whispered. “Didn’t the medical report say that you have a mild fatty liver?”
Sean didn’t say anything, but he ate all the vegetables that Quinn had given him.
The three people on the other side of the table saw this and Lauren nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed like he had listened to what she had said to him in the kitchen. He was indeed a good student.
Franklin was initially puzzled. The two of them had confronted each other like enemies in the afternoon, but they had actually reconciled during dinner this time.
However, when he turned around and saw the mysterious expression on Lauren’s face, he knew that it was Lauren who had acted as the peacemaker in the kitchen.
Lauren always had a strange ability. Lauren was small, but she had such great energy. It was as if she could always turn any big issue into a small matter.
Perhaps because he had eaten his fill, or perhaps because his relationship with his father had eased up, Quinn was in the mood again after he finished the dinner. so, he pulled Lauren and Franklin together to carry out Plan B.
Lauren looked at Franklin and was a little stunned.
“Um…when are we going to carry out Plan B?”
Franklin shook his head.
Quinn waved his hand.
“That’s not important. What’s important is that this plan is foolproof. The reason why our plan failed this afternoon was because there were too many uncertainties. It was uncertain when Bryce would appear. The speed at which the water balloon fell was also uncertain.”
Lauren raised her hand and interrupted, “Actually, the speed at which the water balloon fell can be calculated. As long as we know the speed of the wind, the quality of the water balloon, and…”
Quinn stopped in his tracks. “Who told you to say that?!”
Lauren shut her mouth.
Quinn continued, “That’s why we must find a fixed item for our next plan.”
When it came to these items, Quinn was always very clear-headed.
Lauren could not help but wonder how many times Quinn had pranked Bryce when he was young to make him so proficient.
Suddenly, she felt a little sorry for Bryce.
This time, the prop that Quinn found was a thread. This thread was very thin and could not be seen, but it was especially tenacious.
Lauren used the strength of a normal person to try and pull it, but she could not break it.
“What can this thread do?”
“Just follow me.”
Then, Quinn brought Lauren and Franklin to the corridor.
This corridor was the only way from the living room to the stairs.
Quinn then thought of a way to hang the thread on both sides of the corridor so that the thread would be suspended in the air.
Both Franklin and Lauren crossed their arms in front of their chests at this moment. They leaned against the wall of the corridor and watched as Quinn busied himself with the arrangement.
