When she went down the stairs, she was not like Lauren, who had many small movements. Lauren was always jumping around, and when she went down the stairs, she was also restless. Every time Franklin saw her, he would scold her, but Lauren remained the same.

Ruby was different.

When she walked, she held the handrail of the stairs with her right hand. She was very steady, taking a step at a time.

Franklin recalled what Lauren had said to him before: Ruby had the maturity and steadiness of a grown-up.

Downstairs, everyone was sitting and eating fruit in a neat row.

“Where is Lauren? I had washed her favorite strawberry,” Mr. Hayes asked.

“Lauren was already asleep, so I didn’t wake her up.”

“Ruby, come sit down and eat your fruit,” said Franklin, pointing to the empty seat.

Ruby nodded and sat down obediently on the sofa.

She did not feel shy at all. She picked up the fruit and began to eat.

There was a very popular variety show on TV, and everyone was watching attentively and laughing their heads off.

Franklin never had much interest in entertainment. After he ate two or three strawberries, he just sat there with his eyes fixed on the television, but his expression was unchanged.

Ruby, who was beside him, was the same. She did not put her attention on the television at all.

“Brother Franklin.”

She called out to Franklin.

Franklin did not hear it at first, but Ruby raised her voice and called out again.

The others were all immersed in the television and did not notice their movements.

Franklin heard it this time and turned to look at Ruby.

“What’s wrong?”

“Brother Franklin, I heard from Lauren that you know Samuel Sullivan, Rene Sullivan’s brother.”

“Yeah, I know him. He’s my high school classmate. What’s wrong?”

Franklin wasn’t surprised when he was questioned by Ruby because Lauren had told him about it before.

“I heard from Lauren that you have a lot of photos of Samuel. Can I take a look?”

Although Franklin could not understand why Ruby was so interested in Samuel, he was not a busybody. Ruby was a young adult, so she must have her reasons for doing so.

He nodded, stood up, and walked to a table in the side hall.

“The photos are on that table.”

Ruby stood up and followed Franklin.
