In the end, Sean went to buy ice cream for Lauren.
Lauren looked at the strawberry-flavored ice cream in front of her and swallowed her saliva.
In the next second, the ice cream was taken away by a large hand. Following that, she heard Franklin’s voice.
“Didn’t I say that you can’t eat ice cream? Why did you eat it again?”
‘Hmph, I knew Franklin would stop me in time!’ Lauren thought to herself.
Before Lauren could explain, Sean said, “I bought it for Lauren. If you want to scold someone, just scold me. Besides, it’s not a big deal for a kid to eat ice cream.”
After saying that, Sean wanted to get back the ice cream. Being a tall man, Franklin dodged it in an instant.
“Dad, Lauren just had diarrhea a few days ago because she ate ice cream. She usually likes to eat meat, so she has gastrointestinal problems. So, it’s very important to strictly control it.”
‘Then, Franklin handed the ice cream to Bryce. Bryce bit the ice cream spoon in his mouth and opened the lid of the ice cream. He showed an embarrassed but gloating expression to Lauren.
“Oh…I see. In that case, she should eat less.” After listening to Franklin’s explanation, the initial arrogance that Sean had towards his son immediately weakened.
Maria’s hair was a little messy after the roller coaster ride. Her expression was relaxed, and she looked as if she was sixteen again.
She raised her hand. Her skin was pale, and had not seen the sun for many years.
“Next activity!
Franklin and the others accompanied Maria to all the amusement facilities in the afternoon, Sean indirectly got a lot of opportunities to be alone with Lauren.
“Lauren…” Sean called out to Lauren again.
At that moment, Lauren’s mind was filled with a series of “ding ding ding ding” sounds. This sound would only appear when there was a mission notification.
However, it was never as loud as it was now.
The sound lasted for more than ten seconds. Lauren felt like her head was about to explode.
‘When the voice disappeared, Lauren immediately summoned Divine Nine.
“Divine Nine, what’s going on?”
[system Divine Nine: I don’t know either. Something happened to the parent system just now. All of us felt a strong fluctuation.]
“What should we do then? Is there anything I can help you with?”
[system Divine Nine: I’m not sure what’s going on. Host, I might make a trip back to my parent system to see what’s going on.]
“Alright, Divine Nine, hurry up and go!”
In the next second, Divine Nine disappeared.
“Lauren, what’s wrong?”
Lauren was suddenly pulled back to the real world by various sounds. The ten-odd seconds of continuous high-pitched voices seemed to be just a dream.
However, Divine Nine’s disappearance told her that this was not a dream.
It was past five o’clock in the afternoon. The sky above them was clear, but there were layers of dark clouds on the distant mountains, as though pressing down on the city and threatening to destroy it.
“Look at the dark clouds over there. It looks like it’s going to rain soon. Let’s leave quickly. Mom has just recovered. We can’t get caught in the rain.”
“That’s right. Let’s leave quickly.”
Franklin held onto Maria as they walked in front. Lauren was pulled along by Quinn as they walked forward.
She glanced at the dark clouds. It would be great if it was really just rain. But why did she have a bad feeling about this?
Sean and Bryce were left at the back.
Sean watched as Quinn held onto Lauren’s hand so naturally. Then, he recalled the conversation that seemed like strangers he had with Lauren just now. Sean felt a little uncomfortable.
“Dad, What’s wrong? Why are you sighing?”
So, Sean told Bryce about his troubles.
“I’s my fault that I didn’t believe her today. But…a normal person wouldn’t believe a child’s medicine, right?”
Bryce looked at his father’s rare expression and smiled. He then looked at Tang Lan’s back view.
“Dad, Lauren isn’t an ordinary child.”
“How did you guys get to know Lauren so quickly?” Sean was puzzled.
He felt as though he had missed out on something very important.
“Lauren is a very simple person. As long as you treat her well, she will treat you well.”
“Even if…you don’t treat her well, she will save you because of her righteousness and kindness.”
Sean was getting confused as he listened.
“Save me?”
“Oh, it’s fine. Anyway, Dad, remember that if you treat her well, she will treat you well.”
“If I treat her well, she will treat me well. But how can I treat her well?” Sean nagged as he pondered over this question.
