Five-Year Old Prophet is Pampered by Ten Brothers - Chapter 198

Chapter 198: A Waste of Genes
“Hey, Miss Torres, did you get the small red flower sticker?”

When Lauren came back to her senses, she realized that she had already walked over to Ben’s side.

She was thinking about what the two teachers had said, and completely forgotten about the red flower sticker.

Lauren shook her head. “I couldn’t find the flower sticker. Forget it. If I perform better in the future, I’ll be able to get it again.”

The kindergarten ended early at 4:30 pm. Due to the conversation in the office, it was already 5:30 pm when Lauren returned home.

Ben then drove to the Torres Corporation to pick up Franklin.

There was no one in the living room, so Lauren went to Mr. Hayes’s room. Mr. Hayes’ room was on the first floor. As Mr. Hayes was already old, it was not convenient for him to climb the stairs. Therefore, a room was specially prepared for him on the first floor.

Mr. Hayes’ room door was not closed tightly.

“Mr. Hayes, I am back!”

Mr. Hayes was sitting on the bed at the moment. There was a box, which looked very exquisite, next to him.

“Miss Lauren is back.”

“Yes! Mr. Hayes, what are you looking at?”

Before Mr. Hayes closed the box, Lauren only saw some patterns on the lid of the box.

“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just some things that my wife left behind.”

Lauren nodded. She had never heard Mr. Hayes mention his family before, and neither had Lauren asked before.

Mr. Hayes had been working for the Torres family for decades. Since he did not mention it himself, it meant that something bad had happened to his family.

Mr. Hayes put the carved wooden box back into the drawer.

Perhaps it was because he was reminiscing about the past, Lauren felt that Mr. Hayes was not in high spirits today.

“Mr. Hayes, I have encountered a lot of interesting things in kindergarten today. Let me tell you about it!”

Lauren held Mr. Hayes’ hand and acted coquettishly.

“Okay, let’s talk in the living room. There’s some yogurt in the fridge for you. I’ll take it out as well.”

Lauren nodded and went to sit on the sofa in the living room, while waiting for Mr. Hayes to come over.

After chatting with Mr. Hayes for a while, the servants were back from buying ingredients and started to prepare for dinner.

At 6:30 pm, Franklin arrived home on time.

A few minutes later, Quinn returned.

He had made an appointment with a real estate agent to look at a house today. He was going to find a good place for his studio.

After the announcement that he had terminated his contract with Golden Star Agency was posted on Instagram, quite a number of agencies approached him. However, he rejected all of them.

Other than that, there were many other brands that offered him business partnerships. However, he did not have an agent yet, so he did not have the time to check them one by one.

At the dining table, Lauren began to talk non-stop about the incident that she had encountered in kindergarten today.

“I’ve made an origami crane today. It’s so beautiful.”

She put down her chopsticks and took out the origami crane from her bag.

“Look!”

Lauren waved the origami crane in front of everyone proudly.

“I’ve brought this origami crane back to give to my brother.”

“Which brother should you give it to? There are two here,” Franklin smiled and asked.

Lauren placed the crane in front of Franklin and said, “Of course it’s for you. Thank you for sending me to kindergarten this morning, Franklin.”

“Hmph!” Quinn snorted. He did not even look at the crane and pretended that he did not care about it.

Lauren turned to Quinn with a smile and said, “If there’s a chance in the future, I will also make one for you. Both Mr. Hayes and Ben will have one too!”

“At least you have a conscience.”

Only then did Quinn forgive Lauren.

“Then, did Miss Torres make any new friends in kindergarten today?”

“Of course! I got to know quite a few children. One of them is called Joie, and the other one is called Milo. Milo is a very naughty little boy!”

“There’s another one, but I don’t know if she counts as a friend. Her name is Ruby. No one seems to be friends with her in kindergarten.”

Everyone at the dining table fell silent after hearing Lauren’s description of Ruby.

“If it’s really like what the teachers said, this little girl’s temper changed drastically in a short period of time, then something must have happened.”

Lauren swallowed a mouthful of meat and nodded.

Of course, this matter was quickly overshadowed by Lauren’s next story.

At the dining table, Ben brought up the topic on talent program in school.

Quinn gave her a thumbs-up. “I didn’t expect it, Lauren. You’re so intelligent. Who knows, you might even surpass Franklin when the time comes.”

Franklin said, “Instead of saying that the two of us have high intelligence, it would be better to say that you and Bryce are the oddballs. Both of you have wasted the good genes of the Torres family.”
