Chapter 27: A Clue
Franklin looked at Lauren as she read the information seriously. She still had to point with her index finger wherever she was reading. She was extremely serious.
At this moment, Franklin suddenly thought of a question.
“Little one, you can read? Is there someone teaching you how to read and write in the church?”
Lauren raised her head and slowly blinked her eyes. She still had not recovered from the clues she had just discovered.
“Brother, look. Zelda’s husband, Lambert, passed away three years ago. I heard from Mr. Hayes that Zelda came to the Torres family three years ago to work together. Is this timing just a coincidence?”
Franklin did not answer the question that he had just asked. Not only could Lauren read, but her mind was also very clear.
Franklin was getting more and more interested in this younger sister who had suddenly returned home.
“Franklin, are you listening to what Lauren is saying?!” Lauren angrily placed her hands on her hips.
“Alright, Lauren, do you have a waist? Do you have to put your hands on your waist like other people?”
Franklin laughed and joked.
Upon hearing this, Lauren, who was unconvinced, stood up.
“How can Lauren not have a waist? Look, her waist is here!” She pointed at her waist in a very serious manner. “Today, Lauren only ate a piece of cake! Very soon, Lauren will be like Franklin and have long legs!”
“You have to eat more vegetables and bask in the sun. Only with balanced nutrition can you grow taller. Otherwise, you will forever be called little girl.”
“Brother, you are not allowed to call Lauren little!”
“Little girl!”
Suddenly, there were two knocks on the study door. Franklin suddenly sat up and put away his playful expression. He returned to the serious look of the president’s office.
“Come in.”
“Mr. Torres, this is the milk prepared for you. Miss Torres is here too. Would you like me to pour another cup?”
The moment Zelda pushed the door open with a tray, Lauren moved very quickly and pressed the information under her butt. Before Lauren could even answer, Franklin had already taken matters into his own hands.
“No, one cup is enough. Just put it down. Thank you.”
Zelda put down the milk swiftly and closed the door gently as she left.
“Brother, that was Zelda just now.”
Franklin passed the milk on the table to Lauren. “Is that so? She seems to bring in the milk in every night.”
“Brother, aren’t you going to drink it?”
“I don’t like drinking milk.”
Lauren had no choice but to take it. She actually did not like drinking milk either. She always felt that pure milk had a fishy smell. However, since Franklin did not like drinking milk, why did Zelda have to bring it to him every night?
There were too many things that were beginning to show themselves. Lauren felt that they were about to form a line, but there was still something missing.
[ System Divine Nine: Host, I can feel your brainstorm. ]
“That’s right, it’s so hard. The second mission is due tomorrow! I have to speed up!”
Lauren finally drank the glass of milk. Although she didn’t like it, her brother had given it to her! This was the first time her brother had given her something. She couldn’t let him down!
After such a small interlude, the two of them finally returned to the main topic.
In response to Lauren’s question, Franklin carefully read through Zelda’s information again.
Her husband, Lambert, passed away three years ago due to an accident…
Lambert…
Suddenly, Franklin seemed to have thought of something. He turned on his computer and started searching.
Lauren also stood up and leaned in front of the computer to look, but because she was too short, she couldn’t see anything.
“Little Nine, when did you give me a panacea that can make me grow taller? Lauren is too short, I can’t see anything!”
[ System Divine Nine: Lauren, haven’t we discussed this before? We don’t have any control over the human body. ]
“I know, I’m just making fun of you.”
So, Lauren continued to tiptoe and watch with difficulty.
“I found it!” Franklin exclaimed softly, his tone clearly filled with disbelief. He initially thought that the timing was indeed a coincidence, but…
“Franklin, what did you find? Lauren wants to see it too!”
It was impossible for Franklin to bring the laptop down to show Lauren, so he could only…
“Franklin, this is your second time hugging Lauren. The first time was on that rooftop. Franklin was worried about Lauren –“
“Alright, stop talking! Look,” Franklin hurriedly interrupted her.
“Franklin can hug Lauren more often in the future.”
“Are you going to watch or not? If you’re not, then go down,” Franklin’s face darkened.
Lauren thought to herself, ‘How did he change his expression so quickly?’
Of course, she did not dare to do it again. Lauren still seriously looked at the computer screen.
