Chapter 108 - Double-Standard Grandmother (1/2)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Even though Master Maverick had said that there was nothing wrong with Lauren, her attitude towards Lauren had not changed.
She still did not like Lauren.
Lauren subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at Franklin.
She knew Franklin’s character. This doll was found in Franklin’s room and it was hard for him to explain, so she had come out to help.
“I snuck into my brother’s room today and accidentally left the doll here.”
Lauren’s voice became softer and softer, but Gertrude could still hear it clearly.
“Franklin is the head of the family, so his room is not easily accessible. Besides, in the Torres family, you have to follow the rules. Who allowed you to enter other people’s rooms?”
Lauren thought, ‘Then why did you agree to let Master Maverick in on Franklin’s behalf just now? What a double-standard!’
Lauren did not talk back to Gertrude as she wanted to solve the problem.
“Alright, Grandma, it’s not a big deal. Let’s continue, don’t waste Master Maverick’s time.”
Gertrude glanced at Lauren who was hugging the bunny in her arms. “You can think about it in your own room. Don’t follow us.”
Lauren stood at the same spot and nodded.
Everyone went out one by one. Lauren walked at the back with her head lowered. Franklin took the opportunity to rub Lauren’s hair. He did not say anything but left with the rest of the team.
The warmth of Franklin’s hands made Lauren feel a lot better. She only relaxed when she returned to her room.
Sigh, it was much more tiring to deal with Gertrude than to catch a ghost.
After running around for a whole day, Lauren lay on the bed and fell asleep without realizing it.
When she woke up again, the sky was almost dark. There was only a faint light in the sky above the distant mountains.
The sun was also resting.
Lauren stretched herself and heard Mr. Hayes calling for her to have dinner.
“I’m coming, I’m coming!” Lauren’s face was still sleepy and she rubbed her face.
It felt really good.
“Mr. Hayes, is Grandma still here?” Lauren asked in a low voice.
Mr. Hayes smiled and shook his head. “She didn’t stay and she has already returned to the temple.”
“Oh…”
“The Old Madam usually spends three to four months a year at the temple eating vegetarian food and praying to the Gods and Buddhas to protect the Torres family. She’s only going earlier this year. Don’t think too much about it, Miss Torres.”
Lauren pouted.
“She just doesn’t like me! I don’t like her either. She’s so fierce!”
Mr. Hayes had originally wanted to comfort her. After all, he expected Lauren to be bothered by it. He smiled and pinched Lauren’s face.
When she reached the first floor, Lauren saw the clock hanging on the wall.
