She walked up to Franklin and handed him the steamed bun that she had not yet eaten.
“Franklin, do you want to eat the steamed bun? It’s delicious. It’s meat!” Lauren stammered. If it were anyone else, Franklin would definitely feel that they had no manners. However, when it came to Lauren, he actually felt that it was very cute.
He could not help but bend down and reach out to pinch her steamed bun face.
...
“Cough, it’s fine. I’m pinching your face to see if there’s really so much meat..” Franklin took the glass filled with water and took a sip, trying to hide the slightly awkward expression on his face.
Mr. Hayes thought to himself, “Then I’ll just pretend that I didn’t see Mr. Torres’ smile.”
“Franklin, Lauren slept very well yesterday. Thank you, Franklin, for telling Lauren the story.”

The others seemed to be working hard, but they were secretly paying attention to the interaction between the big one and the little one.
“Of course I’m good at telling stories. I was the one who coaxed your other two brothers to sleep when they were young,” Franklin’s tone was a little arrogant.
Lauren had already quickly finished off one meat bun and was now eating the other one.
“Franklin, I fell asleep last night. I haven’t heard the end yet. So, was snow white eaten by grandma wolf in the end? But didn’t Cinderella bring the Dwarves to save Snow White? Did she succeed? If she didn’t succeed, Little Red Riding Hood who ate the poisoned apple wouldn’t be able to get the antidote!”
...
The person wiping the vase stopped in his tracks. The person who was passing by the living room to sweep the front yard stopped in his tracks. Mr. Hayes’ smile froze on his face.
What kind of melodramatic fairy tale is this?
Mr. Torres, you must have imagined it!
Of course, everyone’s surprise did not last long because Franklin’s words were indeed shocking.
“After Snow White was eaten by Grandma Wolf, the Dwarves cut open Grandma Wolf’s stomach and rescued Grandma and Snow White. Snow White then gave the antidote to Little Red Riding Hood. Little Red Riding Hood then lived happily with the Prince.”
Franklin finished the story in front of everyone with a straight face and firmly believed that what he said was right.
No one had ever told him fairy tales when he was young. He had been educated as the successor of Torres Corporation since he was young, and since then all happiness and relaxation had nothing to do with him.
Other children could go to school for classes, but he could only look at his family teacher in the study.
The only fairy tales he had ever heard were eavesdropped from others.
He went to listen to them today and listened to them tomorrow. He pieced everything together. He believed that he had completely mastered the fairy tales.
Lauren had already finished eating the meat buns and was sucking on the yogurt in her hand.
“Franklin is so amazing! Fortunately, Little Red Riding Hood and Prince ended up together. Otherwise, it would have been so sad!”
“Yes, but this is only a fairy tale.”
Mr. Hayes felt that the fairy tale is really a story that one dares to tell and one dares to listen to.
However, Mr. Hayes was still very happy. He had worked in the Torres family for more than half of his life and had watched Franklin grow up. Since he was young, his parents were not by his side and Franklin did not have any companions by his side. This had resulted in Franklin’s serious and unsmiling personality.
However, after Lauren had arrived, even though Franklin still had a cold expression on his face, his actions had betrayed him a long time ago. He had become more and more doting on Lauren.
Mr. Hayes saw this and felt a sweetness in his heart.
“By the way, Mr. Hayes, where’s Zelda?”
After eating and sleeping enough, it was time to get down to business!
Lauren was filled with strength once again!
“Zelda went to the supermarket to buy ingredients for making cakes. She said that Miss Torres likes to eat, so she needs to make more.” Mr. Hayes looked at the clock on the wall. “But she has been out for more than an hour. That can’t be realistic. The supermarket is just nearby.”
Lauren and Franklin instantly looked at each other and thought of only one possibility at the same time — Zelda had run away!
Franklin immediately asked someone to inspect all the supermarkets near the Torres family mansion and the places that Zelda might have passed by, but they couldn’t find her.
Mr. Hayes called Zelda, but no one picked up.
“This... Zelda might have gone to other places to buy things. She didn’t take anything when she left. It’s impossible for her to just leave like that without coming back.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a servant who slept in the same room as Zelda hurriedly ran out. “Her ID and the photo of her daughter on the table are gone!”
