No matter where Mr. Hayes went, Bryce followed him like a shadow.
If it were not for those who knew, they would probably think that Mr. Hayes was Bryce’s biological grandfather.
Franklin, Quinn and Lauren sat on the sofa and watched as Mr. Hayes and Bryce walked around the living room.
Bryce kept walking past the living room, but he turned a blind eye to Lauren.
This situation continued for a few more times before Franklin called Bryce over.
“Bryce, come over and sit down.”
“I don’t want to. I want to stay here and help Mr. Hayes.”
“Why are you helping? You’re just there to cause trouble. Just ask Ben to help. Come over here first. I have something to tell you.”
When Franklin became serious, he was very good at manipulating people.
Seeing how serious Franklin was, Bryce did not dare to resist. He walked to the sofa unwillingly.
There was no space left for Bryce to sit together with the three siblings on the sofa, so Bryce could only sit across from them.
As soon as he sat down, he opened his mouth.
“Why are the three of you my enemies now?”
Through the phone call, he could tell that Quinn’s attitude toward Lauren had actually changed.
As for Franklin, his grandmother had called him previously and told him that for some reason, Franklin was obsessed with Lauren and treated her very well.
Bryce had grown up under the extreme care of his two older brothers, his parents and Mr. Hayes. In other words, he was pampered in his growing years. In addition, he was very popular in school due to his good looks and his decent grades.
No matter where he went, he would always be the center of attention.
He was originally pampered, but his mother’s health had become very poor due to Lauren.
With his other bedridden all year round, he lost a lot of time with his mother.
In Bryce’s eyes, Lauren was no different from a murderer.
Therefore, he planned to ignore this little brat.
He had no way to change the attitude of the rest of the family, but at the very least, he had the right to decide how he should treat Lauren.
Mr. Hayes, who was washing vegetables, turned around and glanced at the living room. He sighed when he saw Bryce confronting the three of them.
Miss Torres had a third target to handle this time.
“No one is your enemy. We are all one family.”
Bryce was a young man after all.
Whatever he was thinking, he would show it on his face.
He gave a disdainful smile and leaned against the back of the sofa. Then, he transformed from a ‘little puppy’ into a ‘spiky hedgehog’.
“You three are one family. Don’t count me in.”
Since the beginning, Lauren had not said a word.
Of course for Bryce, she held the same attitude as before. If Bryce did not take the initiative to accept her, she would not rush to address him as her brother. At most, they would ignore each other.
The first meeting between the siblings did not end well.
While they were waiting for the hot pot, Quinn dragged Bryce to the third floor to play games.
Meanwhile, Franklin was on the sofa talking to Lauren about another topic.
Lauren was four and a half years old now. According to her age, she should be going to kindergarten.
“Kindergarten?” Lauren blinked her eyes. She was familiar with the concept but also unfamiliar with it.
Of course, she knew what a kindergarten was.
Wasn’t Irene running a kindergarten?
But it was not a good memory.
Franklin nodded his head. “You will definitely have to go to school in the future. You can’t just keep doing missions, right?”
Lauren shook her head and crossed her legs like a little adult.
“I don’t know either.”
Then, she asked the System Divine Nine in her spiritual consciousness, “System Divine Nine, do your brothers and sisters go to school?”
System Divine Nine appeared.
[System Divine Nine: As far as I know, they go to school just like normal people.]
“But if I go to school, will I have time to do missions? Besides, I already know everything they teach in school..”
[System Divine Nine: That’s indeed the case, but you don’t go to school to learn this knowledge, instead it’s to learn how to get along with people. You know that when we do missions, our environment is very isolated, and most of the time, we get along with ghosts. However, we also have to learn how to get along with humans properly, so that’s why there’s a need to go to school.]
“Is that so? But I feel that I get along quite well with everyone.”
[System Divine Nine: Your actual age is still very young. Of course, spending more time with people of the same age will be more beneficial to your mental health. There is also one most important problem. Currently, many people place great importance on academic qualifications.]
