“Are…are you saying thank you to me?”
Bryce, who had just made up his mind to thank Lauren, started to feel embarrassed again when he heard Lauren’s question.
“Of course I’m saying thanks to you. Do you see anyone else in the classroom? Besides, you’re the only one who’s called Lauren.”
From Bryce’s sudden tone, Lauren knew that Bryce was a little shy, which explained why he used his loud voice to cover himself up.
“The men of the Torres family seemed to be very good at saying one thing and meaning another, Lauren thought in her heart.
She replied, “You’re welcome. This is what I should do. Maintaining peace and order in the mortal world is my mission, and…you’re my brother. It’s my duty to protect my family.”
Bryce felt even more ashamed when he heard what Lauren said.
He had previously treated Lauren with a bad attitude and said nasty words to her.
“Tm sorry.”
Bryce suddenly whispered. Although it was vague, Lauren managed to catch what he said.
Lauren was even more stunned when she heard that.
Bryce, who had always been so proud, actually said sorry to her?
When he saw that Lauren was staring at him in a daze, he thought that Lauren had not heard him.
“Tm saying…”
“[heard you! I know what you’re trying to say! You just have to treat me better in the future. Remember to buy more ice cream for me!”
Bryce finally relaxed when he heard what Lauren said.
“Oh, Franklin explicitly forbade me from buying ice cream for you.”
Bryce laughed and threw this shocking news at Lauren.
Lauren was speechless.
Franklin really had a lot of defenses up his sleeves. He even told Bryce about this!
“If you don’t want to buy it, then don’t buy it. Hmph!”
The last ray of sunlight shone onto the windowsill.
“Where are you going? Are you going to join us for late-night self-study?”
Lauren shook her head. “No, I’m going home!”
She had already been busy for the whole day. She did not want to stay back to study.
In addition, she had nine systems and eight hosts waiting for her. Of course, she had to take care of them properly.
Franklin chatted with the principal for a while before he came to pick up Lauren and bring her home.
After getting into the car, Franklin asked Lauren about what happened today.
“Actually, it’s nothing much. I just got some help to erase the memories of everyone who knew about it. That’s how I solved the problem!”
“You guys can even do that? Does that mean you can do bad things?”
Lauren quickly explained, “Of course not. We have very strict rules!”
“We’? Who else is there beside you?”
Lauren immediately covered her mouth and realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.
“There’s no one else! Franklin, drive well. I need to sleep. I’m too tired today.”
‘Then, Lauren closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the chair to take a nap.
When Franklin saw this, he thought that Lauren was really tired, so he did not disturb her.
However, in reality, Lauren was having a party in her head.
After settling this matter, the hosts and the systems did not leave immediately.
After closing her eyes, Lauren entered her spiritual consciousness.
She looked at the room full of people and the systems and said impatiently, “This matter has been successfully settled. Thank you for your help!”
“It’s fine. We’re very happy to be of help. This is the first time we’ve acted together since we’ve been hosts for so long. It feels pretty good,” David said.
“Yes!”
“That’s right!”
The other hosts agreed one after another. It was only then that Lauren realized that some of the hosts had even come over in pajamas and their hairs were also in a mess.
It was obvious that they had been dragged up in their sleep.
However, they were not the least bit dissatisfied. On the contrary, everyone had a smile on their faces. Their smiles were very simple, it had nothing to do with benefits or power. It was the most genuine smile that was revealed because they had helped others.
“since the mission has been completed, shall we go back first? We have to get up and go to school in three hours,” said a female host from the other side of the ocean.
“Yes, I have prepared some small gifts for all of you! Take it as a thank-you gift for this trip,” said Lauren as she took out a few bags of items.
“What’s that? It smells so good!”
“That’s right, Lauren, what’s this? Is it a delicacy from your country?”
Lauren nodded as she handed out the delicately wrapped food in her hands.
“That’s right, this is our representative delicacy—roast duck! You guys have to try it.. This is something you can only eat here!”
