Five-Year Old Prophet is Pampered by Ten Brothers

Chapter 216: Felt Guilty



Chapter 216: Felt Guilty

“The truth hurts. I am the best example. You and dad are the same. The two of you have never communicated properly, and your understanding of each other is only superficial. He doesn’t know how much you love this line of work. You have worked so hard to become a model, and you don’t know why he treated you this way.”

“All parents love their kids. I think the only problem between you and dad is both of you do not understand each other.”

Lauren split the cabbage while saying these words in a calm manner, Quinn felt like Lauren was like an old woman who had gone through a lot in life, and was now teaching her children and grandchildren about life.

“When did you become a life coach? I thought…”

Quinn did not finish his sentence, what he wanted to say was…

He originally thought that Lauren would hold a grudge against the Torres family. After all, the Torres family had abandoned her for four years.

During these four years, no one had cared about Lauren. They had excluded Lauren from the family and had never thought about her feelings.

While they were worried about Maria’s health, Lauren, who was only a baby then, had to grow up far away from her family in a strange place.

They had never considered all of this.

This sudden realization made Quinn feel a lot of guilt towards Lauren. Although he was the second brother, he did not seem to have fulfilled his responsibility as a brother. On the contrary, he had created a lot of unpleasantness for Lauren in the beginning.

A cold drop of water splashed onto Quinn’s face, snapping him back to reality.

Lauren had dipped a piece of cabbage in the water and thrown it onto Quinn’s face. “What’s wrong, Quinn? What did you think? Why did you stop half-way?”

“It’s nothing.”

Lauren just shrugged and continued to be a life coach.

“Family is meant to be harmonious. Life is short. If we can’t cherish it when we’re together, then there’s no way to redeem it.”

Lauren knew this point the best. During the course of her mission, she had encountered many ghosts who regretted their deaths.

When they were alive, they did not cherish the time they spent with their wives and parents. However, after they died, they realized that they would never have the chance to do so again.

However, by that time, there would be no way for them to redeem themselves. After they reincarnated, they would lose all their memories, leaving them with a depressing dilemma.

Seeing that Lauren was silent now, Quinn thought that she was recalling the past, so he spoke up quickly.

“Alright, I got it. I’ll do my beset during dinner later.”

“Yes.” Lauren nodded and smiled. She thought that her counseling played a role in changing his attitude, and had no idea of the complex thoughts that went through Quinn’s mind.

Then she went back to preparing the ingredients with Quinn.

Although Lauren looked plump and very clumsy, she was still very efficient when she worked. With her help, Quinn quickly prepared the dishes.

Even though Aunt Ricci was excused from the kitchen today, she could not sit still, and began to prepare the base of the hotpot.

As Bryce and Lauren liked spicy food, she prepared a double-flavor hotpot.

After washing all the side dishes and putting them on the table, Lauren shouted, “It’s time to eat!” Everyone stood up from the sofa and sat around the table.

The hot steam from the hotpot chased away the coldness in their body.

Smelling the strong fragrance of the hotpot, Lauren was very satisfied and narrowed her eyes.

It was so nice to eat hotpot with her family in the cold weather.

“Lauren, hurry up and eat. If you don’t eat soon, your food will be snatched by your brothers.”

Maria picked up a meat ball and put it into Lauren’s bowl.

It had only been a day, so Lauren and Maria were still very unfamiliar with each other. Although she knew that the person in front of her was her mother and that Maria loved her very much, Lauren was unable to behave naturally like other children when they were with their mothers.

Lauren was always at a loss when it came to Maria. After all, four years had passed since they last met.

It was just like how Lauren was now looking at the meat ball in her bowl. After struggling for a long time, she could only thank Maria dryly.

On Lauren’s left sat Maria, on her right sat Franklin, and on the other side sat Quinn. On both sides of Quinn sat Sean and Bryce respectively.

This seat arrangement was carefully planned by Lauren. She wanted to place Sean and Quinn next to each other.
