Lauren did some calculations. With her current speed, she still had a long way to go before she could make 1,000 origami cranes.
In fact, there was a duplicate talisman. With this talisman, she could quickly make 1,000 origami cranes. However, Joie also said that these things had to be made by herself in order to be effective, therefore, Lauren decided to fold them slowly.
She would give them to her mother after she had folded a thousand of them.
Lauren’s school bag was full today. As it was the weekend, every teacher had given her some homework. The teacher of the handicraft class had also given her homework, requesting the children and their parents to work on a handicraft project related to the zoo. The teacher had also given her some colorful cardboard, which filled up Lauren’s school bag.
After returning home, she hurriedly returned to her room. She pulled out her small suitcase and prepared to pack.
Lauren stood in front of the wardrobe and thought for a moment. Then, she took out the two sets of clothes that she wore the most and stuffed them into the suitcase.
Then, she took two dolls from the bedside. She had cast a spell on these two dolls last night to make people sleep more soundly.
The doll she had given to Franklin were similar to these two dolls. She planned to leave them by her mother’s side so that she could sleep better.
Lauren looked around the room and realized that she did not have anything else to bring. Everything she needed was stored in the pocket dimension.
By the time Franklin returned home from the office, Lauren had already packed up her things and was waiting for everyone in the living room.
“Aren’t we leaving at five? Why have you packed so quickly?”
Lauren raised her head proudly and said, “I always complete my tasks efficiently.”
Franklin smiled and went upstairs to pack as well.
He usually went on business trips, so he had a suitcase specially prepared with some spare clothes. He carried the suitcase and went downstairs.
The others were ready too, so they left for their parents’ place.
Mr. Hayes did not go with them. Firstly, he was old and did not want to take long trips. Secondly, someone needed to stay behind and take care of things in the Torres mansion.
On the way, Lauren became nervous again. She was even more nervous than the first time she killed a ghost and the first time she went to kindergarten.
System Divine Nine appeared again.
[System Divine Nine: Host, your heart rate is increasing again.]
After a week of recuperation, System Divine Nine had recovered a lot. Lauren could feel that the powers in her body were slowly recovering.
When she was upstairs last night, she could smell the food prepared for dinner.
She could feel that her sense of smell was better than before. It must be because of the upgrade of System Divine Nine that her ability had improved as well.
“System Divine Nine, I am going to meet my parents soon!”
[System Divine Nine: Host, you’d better lower your expectations. Otherwise, you might be the one who gets hurt.]
Lauren sighed in her heart, “I know.”
In the blink of an eye, she held onto Franklin’s hand in anticipation and asked him about their parents.
“Franklin, what kind of person is Dad? What about Mom? What kind of person is Mom?”
As he had been busy with his work and Lauren, the last time Franklin went to see his parents was in February.
It had been almost a month since he last went.
“Dad is a pretty serious person. But don’t worry, he will definitely like you.”
Quinn and Bryce disagreed at the same time. They were very suspicious of what Franklin had said.
Quinn disagreed with the first half of what Franklin had said.
His father Sean was not only pretty serious, he was simply a super serious person.
In Quinn’s memories, Sean had never smiled at him, especially after he became a model. Every time Quinn saw his father, he had an expression that said he wanted to be rid of Quinn.
If there was one thing that Quinn envied his elder brother in his life, it would be his father’s care and love for him.
Perhaps it was because Franklin had truly done what Sean wanted him to do. He had inherited the Torres family’s business and developed the Torres Group very well. Therefore, Sean favored Franklin.
However, he treated Quinn as if he were a stepfather.
The more Quinn thought about it, the more bitter he felt. So, Quinn refused to think about it.
Meanwhile, Bryce disagreed with Franklin’s last part of his sentence.
Bryce didn’t believe that his father would like Lauren. Even if Lauren was his own flesh and blood, Maria was the woman he loved the most in his life.
