“This is the newly picked Darjeeling. My relative sent it to me. It’s very fragrant.”
After eating a pile of dumplings, Lauren was thirsty.
The tea was at the right temperature. Lauren drank it in one gulp and felt less bloated.
“Miss Pulver, this tea is so delicious. I still want more!”
Ms Pulver’s office was filled with the strong fragrance of tea. There was a complete set of tea sets on her coffee table. She looked very professional.
“It’s rare for such a young child to like drinking tea. Come, drink more.” Irene began to brew another pot.
Amidst the dense steam, Irene’s fair and delicate hands were particularly eye-catching.
“Wow, Miss Pulver, your skin is so nice!” Lauren realized that not only were Irene’s hands fair and delicate, there were no pores or spots on her face at all.
Yulia took a sip of tea and echoed, “Of course, Miss Pulver is the famous immortal goddess among us. She is looking younger and younger over the past few years!”
Irene laughed heartily after being praised. She was already in his thirties, yet she did not even have crow’s feet.
Lauren sipped her tea while secretly sizing up the office. There was a bottle of fragrance on the desk. When mixed with the fragrance of the tea, it was especially refreshing.
The vermilion wooden cabinet was filled with all kinds of tea leaves and tea cakes. It seemed that Irene really liked drinking tea.
“Alright, let’s get down to business. Lauren, is it okay if I call you that?”
Perhaps it was because of work, Irene’s voice was very gentle. When she spoke, her voice was gentle and soft, causing people to unconsciously indulge in it.
Lauren nodded her head vigorously. “Of course! Everyone calls me Lauren. You can also call me that!”
“Then you can also call me Auntie Irene. It feels strange to call me Miss Pulver.”
“Yes, yes!”
“Is the person next to you your father?” Irene pointed at Ben.
Ben was about to wave his hand when Lauren quickly pressed Ben’s hand down. “That’s right. This is my father, his name is Jayden Torres.”
Ben was so scared that he almost knelt down. Miss Torres, you’re trying to kill me!
It would have been fine if he was introduced as an uncle. How did he become her father?
“Oh, so it’s Lauren’s father. The two of you don’t look alike.”
“I inherited from her mother.”
Ben smiled awkwardly. Although he did not know why Lauren said that, he could only play along with Lauren. “Yes, this child takes after her mother.”
“I see. Then your mother must be very beautiful.”
“Yes, yes. In my heart, my mother is the most beautiful. Of course, Auntie Yulia and Auntie Irene are also very beautiful! Your children must also think that you are the most beautiful.”
Yulia and Irene looked at each other and smiled. This child was so sweet.
“Miss Pulver has a daughter who is already ten years old!” Yulia said, her eyes filled with envy and a trace of confusion.
Lauren knew that Yulia must have thought of Lily again. She shifted her butt and leaned against Yulia, taking the initiative to hold Yulia’s hand.
“Don’t worry, Auntie. Lily will come back safely too.”
Yulia caressed Lauren’s head tenderly.
Irene hurriedly tried to smooth things over. “Yes, Lily will definitely come back. Lauren, I heard from Yulia that you have a way to find Lily?”
Irene’s face was filled with curiosity and a little bit of nervousness.
Lauren pursed her lips and answered softly, “Yes…I know someone at the police station. He’s very capable and I’ve asked him help me find her.”
[System Divine Nine: Host, Why are you lying?]
While Lauren was dealing with Irene, she quickly talked to System Divine Nine in her mind.
“Auntie Irene is not directly involved after all. It might not be a good thing for her to know about my ability, as it might attract attention. Besides, I’m not lying. My brother has an acquaintance in the police station, which means I have an acquaintance in the police station too!”
[System Divine Nine: Yes, I agree! The Host is becoming more and more thoughtful about the matter!]
“Oh, so there’s someone in the police station!” Irene followed up with a more relaxed tone. “But the police station didn’t find Lily either. What do you plan to do next?”
“Auntie Yulia said that something strange happened here. Let’s see if there are any clues.”
Yulia nodded.
“Auntie Irene, in the past two years, there have been so many cases of missing children in the kindergarten. Have you found them all?”
Irene shook her head regretfully.
