Chapter 206: Mother

Lauren had always been a smooth talker, but now she didn’t know what to say. She felt like she had made a mistake, so she lowered her head and placed her hands in front of her, and stood there nervously.

Even when she first saw her grandmother in the Torres family, she wasn’t at a loss.

However, she felt like Sean was subconsciously pressuring her, even though he hadn’t even said a word to her yet.

Lauren wore a skirt to kindergarten today and she looked petite and cute. When Sean saw her, he froze for a moment.

Sean didn’t know what to say, so he just said stiffly, “Don’t make noise, it will disturb others.”

After saying this, Sean turned around and went back to his room.

The light in his room was yellow, giving off a warm atmosphere, but what Sean said to her just now made her feel extremely cold.

He spoke to her like a stranger just now.

No, even a stranger would greet her.

Sean’s room door closed again and the warm light disappeared.

After the previous experience, Lauren was very quiet this time. She took a long shower and did not dare to increase the volume of the water. She was worried that Sean would come looking for her again due to the noise.

When she came out of the bathroom, Lauren’s eyes were already red.

System Divine Nine could clearly sense Lauren’s mood.

[System Divine Nine: Host, are you alright?]

Though the System Divine Nine was just a system, he knew the bitterness of being treated in this manner by one’s own father. Lauren actually cared very much about her parents from the bottom of her heart.

Lauren changed into her duckling pajamas, but she was not in a good mood. She buried herself in the soft blanket and suddenly missed the Torres family.

Although she did not like the furniture and furnishings of the Torres family, at least when she was in the Torres family, everyone treated her very well.

Suddenly, the door to Lauren’s room opened again.

Lauren sat up immediately. She thought that Sean had come to teach her a lesson because she had done something bad again.

However, the person standing outside the door was someone she had never expected—Maria Julian.

The lights in Lauren’s room were on, and Maria’s face was clearly visible.

Her facial features were still as gentle and beautiful as in the photo. It was as if the years had never left any traces on her body.

However, due to her illness, Lauren could clearly see Maria Julian’s thin figure.

She was wearing a set of pajamas. She looked very kind and approachable.

Lauren sat on the bed, stunned. She did not know why Maria had come so late, nor did she know how to address the woman in front of her.

Maria was the first to speak.

“Lauren, may I come in?”

Maria’s voice matched her appearance. It was very gentle.

For the first time, Lauren felt that her name was called out so nicely.

She nodded and quickly got out of bed. She stood by the bed with some restraint.

Maria closed the door behind her as she entered, blocking the chill outside.

After she entered, Maria took the opportunity to sit by the bed. She waved at Lauren and said, “Come and sit down. Why are you standing there?”

Upon hearing what Maria said, Lauren took small steps towards Maria.

During this period of time, Lauren noticed that Maria’s eyes were turning red.

She walked over to Maria and sat down beside her.

Lauren did not know what to say. She just opened her eyes and looked at Maria.

Maria hugged Lauren the next second.

Then, Lauren heard Maria’s sobbing voice. She kept calling out Lauren’s name.

“Lauren…”

Hearing Maria’s voice and feeling her mother’s embrace, Lauren could not help but shed tears.

At that moment, the two of them did not speak, but they seemed to have said a lot.

After a while, Maria calmed down and let go of Lauren.

There were already two lines of tears on Maria’s face.

Lauren was a little hesitant, but in the end, she reached out to help Maria wipe away her tears.

“You are such a sensible child. You even know how to help me wipe away my tears.”

After helping Maria wipe away her tears, Lauren finally realized where she got her beautiful eyes from.

“Mom…Mom.”

Lauren softly said these words from her mouth.
