Lauren was speechless.

She had really slept like a log!

It was easy for her to exhaust her energy if she kept studying things in her spiritual consciousness.

However, Lauren had slept for too long...she really despised herself.

She turned around in the sunny room and realized that she was not alone today.

She looked to the side, but there was no one beside her bed.

Lauren patted her head. She was really a terrible host.

She had invited Ruby to stay over, but she fell asleep first.

When she woke up, she did not know where Ruby was.

Lauren quickly got out of bed to look for Ruby, but her room door opened just at that moment.

“Ruby, why are you awake so early? I’m really sorry about last night. I fell asleep first.”

“What’s there to be sorry about? If you’re sleepy, go to sleep first.”

This was exactly what Lauren liked about Ruby. Lauren herself was quite careless and insensitive. Although Ruby had a cold expression on her face, she was always very tolerant of her.

“When did you get up?”

“I usually wake up at around six in the morning.”

Wake up at around six in the morning?

Lauren’s eyes widened. Every day, when she went to kindergarten, she had to snooze a few alarm clocks before she could get up.

“I just had breakfast downstairs with all your brothers. You should wash up and go for breakfast. If you don’t eat breakfast, your stomach will get upset.”

“Ruby, you sounded like one of those parents in those TV dramas who constantly nag at their kids,” said Lauren.

“They nag because they love you. Lauren, can I use your desk?”

“Of course you can. Feel free to use it.”

Lauren lazily sat on the bed. She watched as Ruby took out a pile of books from her backpack and placed them on the desk.

She lowered her head, picked up a pen, and began to write.

Ruby explained, “I haven’t been to kindergarten for the past few days. I’ve also missed the lessons for the talent program, so I need to make up for it.”

Lauren looked at the hardworking Ruby and felt that she was a complete and utter lazy dog.

‘The bed is so warm!’ Lauren thought, still reluctant to leave, but she cheered herself on.

“No! I can’t be so decadent. I have to get up!”

She got up quickly, washed up and went downstairs. When she did, she saw Franklin standing at the door talking to someone.

Franklin then closed the door, he had a bag in his hand.

Lauren went over to Franklin and asked, “What’s that?”

“Some photos that just got printed. It was supposed to take two days. I didn’t expect it to be done so soon.”

Franklin said as he took out the photos and sat on the sofa to look at them.

Lauren picked up a bean bun and ate it while looking at the photos together with Franklin.

“Franklin, look at this girl. Everyone is looking at the blackboard, but she is the only one looking at you. She must like you. That’s how it is on TV!”

Franklin curled up his index finger and knocked on the top of Lauren’s head.

“You little brat, you’re always thinking about such things.”

Lauren was in pain and raised her hand to rub her forehead.

Franklin then turned to a photo taken at his high school’s coming of age ceremony when he was 18.

That’s when one invited their parents to the ceremony.

When Franklin was 18 years old, Maria was pregnant with Lauren, so his coming of age ceremony that year was only attended by his father Sean.

Sean was proud of Franklin, but he never showed his feelings.

So when Franklin took this photo with his father Sean, they stood far apart and looked like two strangers taking pictures together.

Lauren wondered if these wealthy families were all the same. They had difficulty expressing their feelings.

She had a different mindset: she felt that if one liked someone, one should say it.

The next photo was a photo of Samuel and a man. They looked very close, and their arms were around each other.

“Hey, isn’t this Ruby’s dad? Why is he taking pictures with Samuel?” Lauren asked, pointing at the man.

“What did you say?” Franklin asked in surprise.

“This man is Ruby’s father. So Brother Samuel knows Ruby’s father. No wonder Ruby also knows Brother Samuel.” Lauren pointed at the man who was putting his arm around Samuel’s shoulder.

The bean paste today was very sweet, to Lauren’s delight.

“Lauren, this man is Samuel’s father,” Franklin pointed at the man and said to Lauren in a very serious tone. “For the past three years, Samuel’s father was at the parent-teacher conference every year.. I’ve even had dinner with him.”
