Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
[ System Divine Nine: Who could be so hostile towards Franklin? This poison has been released so quickly. It’s obvious that this person wants to take Franklin’s life. ]
Lauren thought to herself, “Could it be related to the ghostly aura I felt today? I clearly smelled blood…”
“Mr. Torres, is the food not to your liking?” The servant suddenly asked Franklin.
It was obvious that Franklin had been absent-minded ever since he heard what Mr. Hayes had said to him. Hence, the servant mistakenly thought that the food was not to his liking.
Lauren did not want to see Franklin in such a tense and serious state, so she put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran to his side.
“Franklin, Lauren’s hair is too long and it’s inconvenient for her to eat. Brother, can you help Lauren tie up her hair?” After saying this, Lauren reached out her hand. There was a pink hairband with a cute little bow on it.
When the servants standing at the side heard this, they were almost swept off their feet.
The CEO helping a little girl tie her hair, even using a pink hairband. This…
“Miss Torres, let me tie your hair so that young master can eat properly,” A servant volunteered to go forward.
Lauren pretended to be angry and waved her hand. Her face also bulged like a bun. “No, no, no! Lauren just wants Franklin to help me tie my hair. Only Franklin!”
“Is that okay, Franklin? If Franklin helps me, I can help Franklin too!”
Franklin became a little emotional after the little girl made such a fuss. He was no longer as troubled as before.

He took the pink hair band and his movements were very clumsy.
Other than watching his mother tie her hair, Franklin did not have any experience tying hair before. Therefore, he could only rely on his memory and other people’s reminders to clumsily tie Lauren’s hair.
“Franklin, there’s still a lock of hair here that hasn’t been tied up yet!”
“Brother, you have to turn the hairband one more time, otherwise it’ll be very loose and soon Lauren’s hair will fall out!”
Franklin was wholeheartedly serving this little one, and for a moment, he also forgot that the chopsticks had been poisoned.
Seeing that Franklin was arguing with her like before, Lauren knew that her goal had been achieved.
“You have to smile a lot, Franklin. You look so good when you smile.” After saying that, Lauren returned to her seat with her ponytail tilted to the side.
After dinner, Franklin returned to the study to handle some matters. Lauren also began her own “protect big brother” plan.
The first step of the plan: Protect.

Thus, Franklin was about to go downstairs for a drink of water when he opened the door to the study. He saw Lauren sitting cross-legged on the carpet. The little rabbit was also placed next to her in a sitting position.
“What are you doing sitting at the door of my study room?” Franklin asked suspiciously. He thought that he was very good at reading people, but he really could not figure out this little one.
He could not wait to see how his second and third brothers would get along with this little sister. When that time came, the house would probably be even livelier.
Lauren heard the noise and raised her head. She saw Franklin’s well-defined face and long legs.
“I’m protecting Franklin. Franklin, are the chopsticks really poisonous today?” Franklin could not help but squat down to talk to her as her eyelashes fluttered and her big, bright eyes sparkled.
“How do you know?”
“Lauren can see what will happen in the future. This morning, I saw brother fall flat on the table after eating breakfast, so Lauren knew there was a problem.”
With so many things happening in the past two days, Franklin had no choice but to believe in Lauren’s abilities from the beginning.
This girl might have really learned some skills in the church over the past few years.
“I’ll take care of this matter. You don’t have to stay here and guard me.”
“No, Lauren feels that the bad guys are still around. My big brother is still in danger.”
Franklin picked up Lauren with one hand and picked up the little rabbit with the other. He pushed open her room door and placed her on the bed.
“Children don’t need to protect adults. They just need to be obedient.”
“Now it’s not children protecting adults. It’s family protecting family. Franklin is Lauren’s big brother. He’s someone very important to Lauren. Isn’t that what families are for?”
Franklin felt a warm current flow through his heart. He raised his hand and touched the top of Lauren’s head.
“It’s late. Go to sleep.” After saying this, Franklin went out and closed the door behind him.
Lauren crossed her little feet and decided to protect her brother from her own room. Anyway, she had to keep her eyes and ears open tonight. The ghostly aura that she sensed today was definitely not groundless.
