Chapter 374: Jewelry Box

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After hanging up, Lauren placed the phone on top of the cabinet.

‘What she saw was an exquisite and expensive jewelry box. This was not the first time she had seen it. Mr. Hayes happened to be holding it when she entered his room once. However, at that time, she remembered that he very quickly placed the jewelry box back into the drawer.
Lauren did not want to think too much about it, but she had no choice but to.

The jewelry box was filled with roses.

Was it really a coincidence? Or was Mr. Hayes related to all these things?

But even Lauren felt that this idea of hers was a little ridiculous.

“Lauren, have you found it?” Franklin’s voice came from outside.

Lauren panicked for a moment before quickly putting down the jewelry box in her hand.

Before closing the drawer, she took another look at the box and carefully memorized every part of it.

“Since Mr. Hayes isn’t here tonight, It’s just the two of us. Let’s go out and eat,” Franklin said.

“Oh, okay. What about Quinn?”

“Quinn is currently attending an event at another place. He’ll be back tomorrow night to go to the temple with us.”

For dinner, Franklin brought her to eat her favorite burger and French fries. However, Lauren looked a little listless while eating.

Franklin had never been interested in this type of food. He forced himself to swallow a mouthful of Coca-Cola.

“What’s wrong, Lauren? Don’t you usually like to eat these? Why do you look like you don’t have an appetite today?” Franklin asked.

She definitely couldn’t tell Franklin about the rose. He wouldn’t be able to help much anyway, but…

“Franklin, do you know anything else about Mr. Hayes?” Lauren inquired.

“Anything else? What do you mean?”

“Well…when did Mr. Hayes come to the Torres family?”

“I don’t know the details. Anyway, Mr. Hayes was already there when I was born.”

“How did he get here?”

“Grandma brought him here. Lauren, what’s wrong with you today? Why are you suddenly so interested in Mr. Hayes? If you’re interested, you can ask him yourself.”
Lauren bit into a French Fry.

“Ijust think it’s a little strange.”

“How is it strange?”

“Mr. Hayes has been with the Torres family for so many years, but he has never mentioned any relatives or friends. Don’t you think it’s strange? And his room is so empty. There’s something…out of place about it.”
“It could just be a personal habit.”

It seemed that Franklin really didn’t know anything useful, so Lauren gave up and just focused on eating her food.

Love and good food should not go to waste!

After she was full, she still had to pack up after returning home. She was leaving for the temple the next day.

This was the second time she would meet Grandma. She was still a little nervous and afraid.

Although she felt that she just needed to be herself, she liked the life of the Torres family very much and did not want to cause any trouble.
After returning home, Lauren packed her things and went to bed early. She had expended a lot of energy today, and Divine Nine was also quiet in her spiritual consciousness. She was not as excited as usual.
The next morning, Lauren was supposed to go to class, but she could not get up. Her eyelids were heavy and her body felt weak.

Franklin reached out his hand and touched Lauren’s head.

“You don’t have a fever, do you? Where do you feel uncomfortable, Lauren?”

Lauren was lying under the blanket, and only her head was exposed. Her seaweed -like black hair was spread on the pillow.

“I don’t feel uncomfortable. I just don’t have any strength in my body.”

She tried to clench her fist, but she didn’t have any strength at all, as if her body was not under her control.

“Maybe I tired myself out too much yesterday.”

“Then you should rest at home today. I’ll help you apply for leave from school.”

“Okay, okay. Thank you, Franklin!”

“Then I won’t go to work today either. I’ll just work from home. I’ll be in the study room. If you need anything, just call me.”

After that, Franklin tucked Lauren in and covered her up.

“It’s almost summer. You don’t have to cover me so tightly.”

“No, what if you catch a cold? It’s better to cover you..”
