“Mr. and Mrs. Torres have been very strict with Master Franklin since he was young. They were determined to groom him to become the successor of Torres Corporation. That’s why Master Franklin never had the chance to play with these things.”

The two people in the distance did not manage to fly the kite. It was already past 11 o’clock, and the wind was slowly weakening.

But they did not give up. They were still trying to fly the kite by running a distance before the letting the kite fly.

“So Franklin has yet to fly a kite. Looks like I am much luckier than him.”

Mr. Hayes was surprised by how Lauren viewed things from her perspective.

Actually, Lauren was not lucky either. It was just that she was very optimistic about everything.

Mr. Hayes coughed and continued, “As for Master Quinn, he is a little more carefree than Master Franklin. He has been rebellious since he was young and always skipped class to play with his classmates. He has done all sorts of things.”

Lauren nodded. It sounded like what Quinn would do.

“In the past, if Master Quinn failed his exams, he would give me his papers and ask me to pretend to be his parent to sign them.”

Speaking of the past, Mr. Hayes seemed to have traveled back to more than ten years ago. At that time, Franklin and Quinn were still very young. They surrounded him and asked for food all day long.

He did not expect the two of them to grow up so fast in the blink of an eye.

“After that, Master Quinn refused to listen to Mr. Torres’s arrangements to work at Torres Corporation and insisted on working as a model overseas. He even fell out with Mr. Torres. However, Master Quinn managed to break free from his shackles and he was able to do what he liked.”

Lauren figured out what Mr. Hayes didn’t want to say.

Unlike Quinn, Franklin was still struggling in the corporate world, or perhaps he was used to it now.

“Miss Torres, you’ve really changed the two of them a lot since you came. If it were in the past, we wouldn’t have had the chance to come out and play. The Torres family has always been empty, it had only become livelier after you came.”

Lauren stuck out her tongue. Not only had the family become livelier, she had also brought a lot of ghosts.

“What about my parents?”

Lauren felt very uncomfortable when she mentioned them.

So far, she had never had the chance to call them ‘mom’ and ‘dad’.

So many people knew that she had returned to the Torres family, so they must have known about it as well. However, they had never come back to visit her.

Lauren also had a vague idea of their attitude. That was why after such a long time, she had never taken the initiative to mention them in the Torres family.

She had asked this question carefully today.

Mr. Hayes did not struggle to answer. Instead, he thought for a moment and seemed to be considering what to say.

“Mr. Torres and Mrs. Torres have not lived here for a long time. As Mrs. Torres is not in good health, they have moved to a quieter place. Usually, they would only come back during the New Year holidays. Master Franklin will visit them every now and then.”

Mr. Hayes did not say anything more, and Lauren did not continue to ask.
