Chapter 200: Doing Homework

“Quinn, push your work aside and clear your schedule for the next two days. And inform Bryce. We’ll go together as a family.”

Quinn frowned when he heard that.

“Franklin, do I have to go too?!”

“Of course you’re going. How long has it been since you’ve gone to visit our parents?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to see them. Every time I visit them, I end up quarrelling with Dad. You know it too well.”

Their father, Sean Torres, had always been angry with Quinn for not studying business, and choosing to become a model instead.

Every time Sean saw or talked to Quinn on the phone, he would scold him to vent his anger. As time went by, Quinn started to avoid him.

“Although Dad says so, he would definitely want us to visit him together. The last time I spoke to him on the phone, he complained that you haven’t been over to see him for a long time.”

Quinn was flustered as he scratched his head.

“Alright, but if I get scolded by Dad, you have to come out and save the day.”

Franklin smiled but did not say a word.

Lauren sat on the high chair that Franklin had custom-made for her. She could clearly see everything on Franklin’s desk.

The family photo they had taken together was on his desk. The woman in the photo looked kind and gentle.

‘Was this her mother?’ Lauren thought.

When she left the Torres family, Lauren was only half a year old, so she had no memory of her mother.

However, when she saw the photo, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Franklin placed both his hands on the desk. He always sounded as if he was in a conference meeting when he spoke.

“Then it’s settled.” Franklin made the decision.

“Meeting adjourned!” Lauren said and then patted the table with her hand.

Franklin and Quinn burst out laughing.

“I have to go back to my room to finish my homework. The math teacher left a few questions for us today.”

Franklin nodded.

“Go ahead. I also have some work to do.”

“Alright, I’ll go back and continue with my work in the studio.”

The three siblings disbanded on the spot.

After returning to her room, Lauren took out a small exercise book from her school bag.

This exercise book contained the mathematics content for the semester.

Lauren arrived a month late, so she was already a little behind. She quickly picked up her pencil and started brainstorming.

Ten minutes later, Lauren stared blankly at the last question in the exercise book.

“You’re done already?!”

Lauren put down her pencil and scratched her head. It was so simple.

It seemed that she would have to ask her teacher for more questions in the future. Otherwise, it would be too boring.

[System Divine Nine: Host, don’t forget that you’re here for missions, not math problems.]

“Eh, System Divine Nine, are you feeling better? But there’s no mission now, so I can only try out these questions!”

[System Divine Nine: Yeah, I’m feeling better now, but I’ll probably need another week to fully recover.]

Lauren could sense that System Divine Nine’s voice was not as energetic as before. It was still rather weak.

“Besides, if you weren’t here, I wouldn’t be able to complete the mission.”

Many of Lauren’s current abilities, including her acute sense of smell and hearing, as well as her ability to sense the aura around her, were all tied together with System Divine Nine.

When System Divine Nine was weak, Lauren’s abilities were also weakened.

During the time when System Divine Nine was being upgraded, Lauren was almost no different from a normal person, except that she was a little smarter.

As they spoke, the System Divine Nine went silent.

Lauren guessed that it must have fallen asleep again.

So, Lauren went into her library to continue learning programming.

The next day, Lauren was no longer so nervous when she went to kindergarten.

Ben was the one who sent her to school today. Lauren even packed some breakfast at home and placed it in the pocket dimension.

The food in kindergarten was too bland. Lauren always felt that she was not full, so she decided to give herself a treat today.

As usual, Carina was at the door to welcome the children. Ben walked over with Lauren.

“Good morning, Lauren!”

“Good morning, Miss Bailey!”

“Miss Bailey, after seeking Lauren’s opinion and discussing with Lauren’s brothers yesterday, we’ve decided to let Lauren participate in this talent program.”

Miss Bailey was very happy to hear that.

“Really? That’s great.”

“The talent program will officially begin next Monday. By then, Lauren’s school hours will be extended by an hour.. Within this hour, we’ll give Lauren and the other students a separate math class.”
