Chapter 192: I’ll Drop You Off
Franklin smiled.
“Really? You can’t eat while working as my secretary.”
Lauren raised her head and half of her head could be seen from behind the computer screen.
“Oh my god, your secretary is so miserable. She can’t even eat.”
At that moment, Franklin’s secretary, who was happily eating at home, suddenly sneezed.
Lauren entered a question into the browser and clicked on it. There were a lot of answers. She clicked on them one by one and slowly browsed through them.
After Franklin finished reading a document, he pinched the space between his eyebrows. He raised his head and realized that Lauren was still looking at her computer.
Franklin glanced at his watch. It had been more than half an hour.
“Lauren, you need to let your eyes rest properly. What are you looking at?”
“I am preparing for tomorrow.”
Franklin leaned over to take a look. When he saw the topic Lauren was searching for, he instantly laughed out loud.
#How to get along with a four-year-old#
#How to play with young children#
“You’re a four-and-a-half-year-old yourself. Why are you Googling this topic?”
“I am four and a half years old on the surface, but I am smarter than an adult, so I’m afraid that I might accidentally outsmart the other children in kindergarten. That would make things very awkward. So I have to see what children of this age are talking about in advance.”
Franklin pondered for a moment. Lauren was quite considerate to have thought of this.
He shook his head with a smile. He was defeated by Lauren’s intelligence.
“And what did you find?”
“Well…I found that children nowadays like to watch cartoons and play phone games. But I don’t like either of them. Franklin, what should I do?”
Franklin recalled the scene where Lauren watched TV with the servants after dinner every night.
“A four-and-a-half-year-old kid like you should be watching cartoons, instead of those melodramatic dramas.”
Lauren was about to refute when she heard Mr. Hayes’s voice, telling them to go downstairs for food.
“Come on, let’s go for food.”
Franklin carried Lauren down again and the two of them went downstairs.
At the dining table.
“Bryce, what time are you going to school tomorrow?”
“I have to be at school before 7:30. We start school a little earlier than usual.”
Franklin estimated the distance between the Torres family and the school. They should leave home at around 7:00.
“I’ll drive both of you there tomorrow.”
Bryce was eating a piece of rib when he heard what Franklin said. He asked, “Us?”
Franklin nodded. “Yes, you and Lauren. You’ll go to high school while Lauren goes to kindergarten. Your schools are close to each other, so I’ll drop you off.”
“Franklin, who are you sending actually?”
Franklin did not hesitate to reply. “My main purpose is to drop off Lauren, since your school is close by, I am giving you a free ride.
Bryce angrily spat the ribs onto the table and ate a big mouthful of rice, trying to turn his grief and indignation into appetite.
At this moment, Mr. Hayes spoke.
“It’s good that Miss Torres is going to kindergarten. If she encounters any problems in the kindergarten, she can ask Master Bryce for help.”
Bryce hurriedly waved his hand.
“Please don’t. Don’t look for me if there’s nothing, and also don’t look for me if you need any help. I’ll very busy recently. Besides, why should I help her?”
“I do not need help, I will behave in the kindergarten!”
Compared to Bryce’s attitude, Lauren’s attitude was praised by everyone. Following that, there were five or six more ribs in her bowl, which made Bryce jealous.
As she had to attend kindergarten tomorrow, Lauren was put to bed by Franklin early in the night.
“You need to rest well. You’ll have to get up at 6:30 am tomorrow.”
Franklin set his alarm clock, and put it on top of Lauren’s bedhead.
Thomas Johnson Kindergarten was about 20 minutes away from the Torres family.
Since it was the first day of kindergarten for Lauren, Franklin would send her there. Ben would be in charge of picking her up and dropping her off after that.
It was her first time going to kindergarten. Lauren found it more nerve-wracking than catching a ghost.
After lying on the bed, she kept thinking about what kind of food she would eat in kindergarten the next day. Were the children in kindergarten cute? Were the kindergarten teachers very fierce?
She fell asleep in a daze as she thought about these questions.
The next morning, at 6:30 am, the alarm clock on the bedhead rang on time. This time, Lauren did not stay in bed. When the alarm clock rang, she immediately bounced up. She felt extremely energetic.
There was no need to wear a school uniform in kindergarten, just one’s own clothes was good enough. Therefore, Lauren chose a pink shirt and a pair of white suspenders. Then, she asked Franklin to tie ponytails for her.
