Chapter 212: Conflict

‘Is that so?’

Sean placed the pepper powder in his hand back onto the shelf. He didn’t know that Franklin was allergic to pepper powder.

Then, he pushed Lauren to the frozen ingredients section.

“Chicken wings, chicken drumsticks…”

Sean liked to mumble as he shopped.

His voice was very soft, but Lauren could hear it clearly.

“We can make hotpot at night when the weather is cold, so let’s buy some beef rolls and mutton rolls.”

As Sean spoke to himself, he walked to the freezer to pick out the ingredients.

“If you want to buy mutton rolls and beef rolls, you have to choose the thin ones instead of the fat ones. Quinn wants to maintain his figure, so he never eats anything fat.”

Lauren’s words stunned Sean.

“Who cares if that guy eats fat or not? I’m not the one who asked him to become a model.”

Although he said that, he still put back the fat beef rolls in his hand and picked out a box of lean beef rolls.

During the shopping trip, he realized that he really did not know much about his family.

For example, Bryce did not like to eat fermented black soybeans, Franklin did not like to eat corn, and Quinn liked to eat spicy food, but he was afraid of getting acne and so on.

Sean, who was their father of more than 20 years did not know their habits.

“Get a coke zero!”

Lauren reminded Sean again when he went to buy beverage.

Sean couldn’t help but look at Lauren, who was already half buried by various food inside the shopping cart. “Lauren, aren’t you only been back for a month or so? How did you get to know their habits so quickly?”

“I always eat with them, so I remembered it!”

Sean was ashamed of himself. He had eaten with them many times, but he never noticed it.

On the way back, Sean carried four shopping bags.

“I can help you. I am very strong!”

“It’s not necessary. What strength do you have? If you carry the shopping bags, I’m afraid the shopping bags will be dragged to the ground.”

As a result, Lauren could only carry a bottle of drink and walk slowly behind Sean.

Actually, she was really strong. Ever since the System Divine Nine was restored, her abilities in all aspects had improved quite a bit.

However, on second thought, it was better not to show off her abilities to Sean for the time being. Otherwise, she would be treated as a monster, right?!

On the way back, Lauren noticed that Sean had become much friendlier.

The two of them did not communicate on the way here. However, on the way back, Sean would ask a few questions about what happened at home.

“How’s Mr. Hayes? I haven’t had time to go home to take a look recently.”

“Mr. Hayes is in good health. However, he seemed to have a cough a while ago, but he’s fine now.”

Seeing that it was a good time to talk, Lauren continued asking.

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

“Has Mr. Hayes been working here for many years?”

“Based on my calculations, this year should be his 30th year working here.”

Lauren nodded in surprise.

It seemed like…

Mr. Hayes was indeed an important member of the Torres family.

“What about Mr. Hayes’ family? I have never heard him mention them.”

Sean shook his head. “I’ve never heard of him either. He was brought here by your grandmother and he hasn’t left the Torres family since then. In my memory, he has never mentioned anything about his family.”

“Oh…”

Lauren nodded.

Sean mentioned “your grandmother”…Had he already acknowledged Lauren’s identity?

As they chatted, they soon arrived home.

Lauren called Franklin with her phone watch, asking them to come down to help with the grocery.

Franklin had already changed into a new set of clothes, while Quinn was still wearing his pajamas.

“I realized that even though I’m wearing such a childish set of pajamas, I’m still as dashing as before. I just took a photo and posted it on Instagram. Everyone is praising me, so I have decided this will be my outfit for today.”

Quinn bragged as he walked with the bags in his hands.

Sean, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around. “Can you be a little more normal? Do you think that when others praise you for being good-looking, it’s because you’re really good-looking? Besides, which normal guy only pays attention to his appearance all day long?”

The originally peaceful atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Quinn did not show any signs of weakness and even snorted coldly.

“Yes, I’ve always been a vase in your eyes.”

“A vase can hold flowers, but you’re useless.”

Lauren held her drink in her arms as she followed behind, not daring to speak.
