Chapter 213: Set Up a Plan
In fact, it was not difficult to understand why Sean held such prejudice against Quinn. When he was overseas, he was only a model. On the other days, he would take studio photos and participate in some model shows.
From Sean’s point of view, all these were simple things that could be easily achieved with one’s appearance.
However, Sean did not know how hard Quinn had worked to become a model, and this made Quinn very angry.
It was not a good feeling to be misunderstood, especially since this person was his father.
After carrying the grocery bags into the villa, Quinn returned to his room.
In an instant, Lauren felt that the tension had subsided.
She sighed. It was not easy for them to become closer, but now it seemed as though the distance between them had been pulled back.
Looking at the expressions on her husband and son’s faces, Maria knew what had happened between them. However, the estrangement between them had been going on for a long time. It was not something that could be resolved with just a few words. No matter what they talked about, the two of them always ended up talking about models, and then they would part on bad terms.
Maria patted Lauren on the head.
“They’re always like this. Don’t worry.”
Lauren was deep in thought as she looked at Sean standing at the door.
Following that, Lauren, Franklin and Maria started preparing for the barbecue at noon.
After all the ingredients were skewered and all the sauces were prepared, Franklin set up the barbecue grill and started to burn the charcoal outside.
They set up a table in the small courtyard. The table was filled with food and a few bamboo stools were placed around the table.
As noon approached, the temperature in the courtyard slowly rose. The bright sunlight shone into the courtyard, but it was not hot. Instead, it felt very warm.
Lauren looked at the family members whom she had never met before one month ago. Now, they were working together to prepare for lunch, and she suddenly felt as if she was dreaming.
Quinn had waited until lunch time before he appeared. His expression had already returned to normal, but he did not say much. Even when Lauren took the initiative to provoke him, he was not in the mood to refute her.
Based on this, Lauren knew that his mood had definitely not recovered.
Everyone was sitting around the grill, and as the big brother, Franklin took the responsibility of tending to the barbecue.
After eating a few skewers, Quinn said he was full and went upstairs.
Lauren and Franklin looked at each other, both shrugging helplessly. Sean’s face was normal; he seemed to be used to such an argument.
In the afternoon, Quinn recovered his vitality and called Lauren and Franklin to his room in a mysterious way.
“Lauren, do you want to have a good relationship with Bryce?”
Quinn felt better after waking up from a nap.
Every time he quarreled with his father and every time he was denied by others, he needed some personal time to find himself.
Recalling the purpose of his career back then, he was filled with energy once again.
Initially, Lauren wanted to give a ‘no’ answer.
Relationships were not something that could work out just because one wanted to. However, looking at Quinn’s mood, which was restored, she did not want to spoil his mood. So, she had no choice but to follow his wishes and nod her head.
Quinn clapped his hands. “Franklin, looks like we can carry out yesterday’s plan! Look, Lauren also wants to build a good relationship with Bryce.”
Lauren smiled and nodded. “Yes, I really want to!”
“But what plan are you guys talking about?”
Quinn sat cross-legged on the bed, and talked enthusiastically.
“Previously, you used your strange abilities to save our lives. That’s when I…reluctantly became your brother. Wouldn’t it be great if we can repeat similar incident that happened between us with Bryce?”
Lauren tilted her head in confusion. What did this mean?
Quinn raised his finger and knocked on Lauren’s forehead. He looked as if he was disappointed in her.
“Are you stupid? I mean, why don’t you use your strange abilities to save Bryce?”
“What do you mean by strange abilities? My abilities are all very powerful. It’s not strange at all!”
Both Franklin and Quinn thought to themselves. ‘I was extremely scared at that time, but I didn’t dare to say it.’
“In any case, you were able to sense our danger ahead of time and come to save us.”
“But…if I were to sense these dangers ahead of time, then these dangers would have to be real. Then how would we know if he would be in danger this afternoon?”
Lauren was once again unable to find a suitable name for Bryce, so she could only use “he” instead.
This caused Quinn to sigh. What a lucky turn of events!
“He’s not in danger right now, but if we design it, won’t we be able to create danger?”
