“Hey, Miss Torres, did you get the small red flower sticker?”

When Lauren came back to her senses, she realized that she had already walked over to Ben’s side.

She was thinking about what the two teachers had said, and completely forgotten about the red flower sticker.

Lauren shook her head. “I couldn’t find the flower sticker. Forget it. If I perform better in the future, I’ll be able to get it again.”

The kindergarten ended early at 4:30 pm. Due to the conversation in the office, it was already 5:30 pm when Lauren returned home.

Ben then drove to the Torres Corporation to pick up Franklin.

There was no one in the living room, so Lauren went to Mr. Hayes’s room. Mr. Hayes’ room was on the first floor. As Mr. Hayes was already old, it was not convenient for him to climb the stairs. Therefore, a room was specially prepared for him on the first floor.

Mr. Hayes’ room door was not closed tightly.

“Mr. Hayes, I am back!”

Mr. Hayes was sitting on the bed at the moment. There was a box, which looked very exquisite, next to him.

“Miss Lauren is back.”

“Yes! Mr. Hayes, what are you looking at?”

Before Mr. Hayes closed the box, Lauren only saw some patterns on the lid of the box.

“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just some things that my wife left behind.”

Lauren nodded. She had never heard Mr. Hayes mention his family before, and neither had Lauren asked before.

Mr. Hayes had been working for the Torres family for decades. Since he did not mention it himself, it meant that something bad had happened to his family.

Mr. Hayes put the carved wooden box back into the drawer.

Perhaps it was because he was reminiscing about the past, Lauren felt that Mr. Hayes was not in high spirits today.

“Mr. Hayes, I have encountered a lot of interesting things in kindergarten today. Let me tell you about it!”

Lauren held Mr. Hayes’ hand and acted coquettishly.

“Okay, let’s talk in the living room. There’s some yogurt in the fridge for you. I’ll take it out as well.”

Lauren nodded and went to sit on the sofa in the living room, while waiting for Mr. Hayes to come over.

After chatting with Mr. Hayes for a while, the servants were back from buying ingredients and started to prepare for dinner.

At 6:30 pm, Franklin arrived home on time.

A few minutes later, Quinn returned.
