Chapter 211: Shopping Cart
Lauren looked up at the hand in disbelief.
Sean cleared his throat.
“The stairs here are steep. I’m afraid you’ll fall.”
Then he shook his hand and gestured for Lauren to hold it.
Lauren’s hand was very small and chubby.
Her hand looked very cute in Sean’s large and thick palm.
The moment he held Lauren’s hand, Sean could feel the warmth coming from Lauren’s palm. At that moment, he really felt that the four-and-a-half-year-old girl in front of him was his daughter.
Even though they had not seen each other for four years, it did not change the relationship between them.
It was as if Sean had returned to the day Lauren was born. That day, the nurse placed Lauren, who was still a baby, in his arms.
Being held by her father, Lauren felt very safe. When she went down the stairs, she was a lot bolder. When she went down the last step, she originally wanted to jump down. But in the end, she miscalculated the length of her legs, she took a wrong step and was about to fall headfirst.
Fortunately, Sean reacted quickly. He immediately picked up Lauren and placed her on the ground.
“You almost fell just now,” Sean said with a serious expression. “Don’t do such a dangerous thing in the future. What should I do if something happens?”
Lauren lowered her head and obediently received the scolding. However, she didn’t feel unhappy. Instead, she felt slightly happy.
Did Dad speak to her in this manner because he cared about her?
With this thought in mind, Lauren raised her head and smiled at Sean before nodding.
“Okay, I won’t be like this next time.”
She was sincerely admitting her mistake.
Seeing how obedient Lauren was, Sean did not say anything else. His expression softened a little and he continued walking forward.
Lauren hurriedly took small steps to catch up.
The Torres family’s long legs were inherited. Sean’s legs were also very long, and Lauren hopped behind Sean.
Her legs would definitely be very long in the future!
Lauren could only sit in the back row. After Sean made sure that Lauren had fastened her seatbelt, he drove to the supermarket.
Although this place was in the mountains, it was very convenient.
The supermarket was only ten minutes away from home.
Next to the supermarket was a high-class residential area. As it was the weekend, many parents brought their children to the supermarket.
Sean pushed a shopping cart, and Lauren followed closely behind him.
Lauren was curious. She looked left and right, and saw a child being pushed by his parents in the shopping cart.
“It’s so comfortable,” Lauren thought to herself.
When Sean was shopping with the shopping list that Maria had made for him, he saw that Lauren was staring at someone else’s shopping cart without moving.
He saw the little boy sitting in the shopping cart and understood.
“You want to sit in the cart as well?”
Lauren raised her head and blinked. Then, she nodded her head.
Maria was the one who braided her hair today. Initially, this job had already become Franklin’s daily schedule. However, Maria had taken the responsibility to braid Lauren’s hair today.
Maria was very skillful, and she braided two braids for Lauren.
As Lauren had a lot of hair, her braids could not be braided in the same way as others. Maria braided her hair in a unique way, making her look even cuter.
Moreover, Lauren’s facial features were very similar to Maria.
Sean could see his wife’s image on Lauren.
Seeing that Sean was not speaking, Lauren thought that Sean was unhappy, so she quickly said, “Actually, I am not…”
In the next second, Sean had already wrapped his arm around Lauren’s waist, picked her up and placed her in the shopping cart.
‘Wow! Dad is so nice!’
Although the metal mesh under the shopping cart hurt her butt, just like how she felt when she was sitting in the cage, Lauren was much happier now than she was then.
She sat cross-legged inside.
Her hands were placed on the side of the shopping cart with her chin resting on it. She felt very comfortable as she watched the rows of shelves slide past her eyes.
“Green peppers, potatoes, cumin powder…”
Sean looked at the list on the shopping cart and placed the items he wanted into the shopping cart one by one.
“Do you want to buy pepper powder?”
He looked down and saw that there was no pepper powder on the list.
Lauren shook her head.
“You can’t buy pepper powder. Franklin is allergic to pepper. Once he smells pepper powder, he will sneeze and his face will turn red. It’s very scary.”
