No matter how one looked at it, this plan didn’t sound like a good idea. However, if one thought about it carefully, it sounded quite feasible.
Lauren’s ability was to save people, right?
Therefore, Franklin patted Quinn on the shoulder, in a very CEO-like gesture.
“Alright, then write a proposal for me. I’ll take a look at it tomorrow.”
Quinn was furious.
“What do you think we’re doing? Why do I have to write a proposal? Why don’t we just ask Lauren over and discuss it?”
Franklin got into the blanket and yawned.
“Alright, we’ll talk about it tomorrow then. Let’s go to bed first.”
Soon, Quinn could hear Franklin’s rhythmic breathing. He placed his hands behind his head as he continued to think about his plan.
Perhaps it was because Lauren was in a strange environment and she was feeling nervous, she did not sleep well and even had a dream.
In the dream, she didn’t dream of Maria’s gentleness to her, but she kept dreaming of Sean’s resisting and disliking eyes.
By the time she woke up, she couldn’t remember what had happened in the dream, but she could remember the look in Sean’s eyes.
Lauren woke up at 6 am. The sky outside the window was just beginning to brighten up.
The temperature in the mountains was always lower than in the city. Lauren opened the window and felt a gust of fresh air blowing into her nostrils.
She shivered and quickly closed the window to isolate the cold air outside.
However, she soon heard voices coming from downstairs. Lauren opened the window and saw two people supporting each other in the front yard of the small villa. They were walking slowly.
Lauren took a closer look. Weren’t they Sean and Maria?
They looked like they had just returned from outside. They were talking and laughing.
They must have gone out for morning exercises.
She saw that Maria’s face was still slightly red. It was a natural luster that came out after exercise.
She did not know if it was telepathy or something else, but Maria suddenly raised her head and looked at Lauren. Lauren immediately met Maria’s gentle gaze.
When she saw her, Maria smiled.
She didn’t know how to respond, so she could only smile.
A few minutes later, she heard footsteps approaching her room. Lauren stood in front of the door and waited. It was indeed Maria who came to her room.
There was a faint fragrance on Maria’s body. An ordinary person wouldn’t be able to smell it at a normal social distance. But Lauren was able to smell it as she had a keen sense of smell.
“Why are you up so early?”
Lauren moved her lips. She wanted to say something, but it seemed like she could no longer say ‘Mom’, so she could only continue nodding her head.
‘If this continues, will Mom think that I’m mute?’ Lauren thought to herself.
“Since you’re awake, then wash up and come down for breakfast. Your older brothers won’t wake up so early. If you wait for them, you’ll probably starve to death.”
Facing Lauren, Maria’s emotions did not fluctuate as much as last night. She spoke to Lauren very naturally, as if there was no separation gap between them for the past four years.
Lauren continued to nod, and then Maria led her to the bathroom.
Under the gaze of Maria, Lauren brushed her teeth and washed her face. Then she led her downstairs.
The villa looked even more beautiful in the early morning. The first rays of sunlight had already shone in, and the warm light made people feel incomparably beautiful.
In the kitchen, Aunt Ricci was busy preparing breakfast.
Lauren sat in the seat that Maria had pointed out to her, then Maria sat next to her.
Not long after, Aunt Ricci came out with breakfast.
The breakfast was very simple. There was a pot of white porridge and some radish dishes.
Maria said apologetically to Lauren, “Because of my health, I can only eat some light food. I’m sorry that you have to eat these things with me.”
‘Mom is so gentle!’
Lauren quickly shook her head.
“It’s fine, I like to eat these things too.”
Actually she preferred to eat the meat buns prepared by Mr. Hayes.
When Maria heard Lauren’s reply, she smiled and personally scooped a bowl of porridge for her. She placed it in front of Lauren.
“Your pajamas are so cute. They look great on you.”
Lauren blinked her big eyes.
“Really? Quinn bought these pajamas for me. I like them too!”
“This is the first time I heard of Quinn buying clothes for others.”
Maria said as she placed some food on Lauren’s plate.
“Both Franklin and Quinn treat me very well.”
Maria nodded her head in relief. “That’s good. I was worried…”
