Chapter 207: Reprimanded

However, before they could even speak further, Sean appeared at the door.

He woke up groggily and realized his wife was gone. He quickly put on his shoes and went out to look for her.

He saw that this room was lit, so he came over.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the tears on Maria’s face. He quickly rushed in.

“Maria, are you alright? Why are you crying?”

Sean glanced at Lauren as he spoke.

Lauren could tell that his glance was a reprimand. It was as if he thought that Maria was crying because Lauren had done something bad to her.

In front of Sean, the ease that Lauren felt earlier was gone.

Maria shook her head gently.

“No, I’m just happy to see Lauren.”

Only then did Sean let out a sigh of relief.

“It’s already very late. No matter how happy you are, you have to take care of your own health. Let’s go to bed first.”

Sean placed both of his hands on Maria’s shoulders.

Maria knew that her husband cared for her, so she went along with his wishes and stood up.

“Lauren, you should rest early too. We’ll talk about it tomorrow morning.”

Lauren sat on the bed and nodded.

“Good night, Lauren.”

After that, they left, leaving only Lauren and the rejuvenated System Divine Nine in the room.

[System Divine Nine: Host, your mother seems to treat you quite well. She’s very gentle.]

Lauren nodded silently in her heart.

That’s right. Her first meeting with Maria went very smoothly.

She initially thought that Maria would hate her because of her effect on her health, but judging from her attitude just now, she probably did not hate her.

Of course, all mothers loved their children.

Lauren confirmed this thought once again.

Lauren was still immersed in the memory of what had just happened. Suddenly, the white phone watch that was placed on the bed rang. She crawled over to pick it up. It was a video call from Franklin.

She answered the call.

Franklin should have just finished showering. His hair was dripping wet and he was wearing the same duckling pajamas as Lauren. His face was dark.

“Lauren, when did you change my pajamas?!”

Lauren covered her mouth and giggled.

“We have to wear them since we have them!”

While Franklin was packing this afternoon, Lauren secretly put the duckling pajamas into his suitcase and took out the pajamas that he normally wore.

So now Franklin had no other pajamas to wear, only this set of childish pajamas.

The next second, Quinn appeared on the screen. He wore the same duckling pajamas, and his face was also dark.

“Lauren, why are you also making fun of me?”

Lauren couldn’t help laughing as she watched the two handsome men on the opposite side of the screen wearing the same yellow duckling pajamas as her.

The feelings she had felt earlier had disappeared.

“I am also wearing the same pajamas, and I’m not angry. What’s there to be angry about?”

“You’re a little brat. You look so cute in these pajamas but we’re already so old. People will laugh at us if we wear these!”

Quinn complained fiercely.

“Both of you are so handsome. You two still look very handsome in these pajamas!”

Franklin and Quinn sighed and facepalmed.

“Alright, go to bed early.”

Lauren nodded. “Go to bed early too, my dear brothers. Good night, I am going to bed now.”

After that, Lauren hung up the phone and lay on the bed. All she could think about was what Maria had said to her and the way she hugged her.

Following that, she fell asleep unknowingly.

In Franklin’s room on the third floor.

“Are you really going to sleep with me tonight?”

Quinn nodded.

“Bryce is so annoying. I don’t want to sleep with him. He’s been nagging the whole night. It’s so noisy.”

The two brothers sat on the bed.

“Franklin, I think we should do something this weekend. Let’s get Bryce and Lauren familiar with each other.”

“What should we do?”

Quinn had a lot of ideas. He thought about it for a moment and snapped his fingers.

“Remember how Lauren get familiar with you. That was when Lauren saved you as a vase was about to hit you. As for me? I was about to have an accident when I was doing the wire stunt technique, and then she saved me. We can just let the same thing happen to Bryce. Then, Lauren can be a hero and save Bryce. In this way, Bryce will change his attitude toward her.”

Franklin was speechless.
