Chapter 386: Leaving Home

Sean looked a little disappointed, but the expression on his face only lasted for a moment. It was so quick that Lauren even wondered if the expression had been there at all.

Sean waved at Lauren and said, “Lauren, come over and sit down for breakfast, Sean.”

Lauren walked over and sat between Sean and Maria.

Both of them had probably discussed how to make up to Lauren the previous night. They had great chemistry. One of them would pour milk, and the other would spread bread for Lauren. Lauren’s breakfast was well taken care of.

However, it didn’t last long. An uninvited guest appeared while they were eating.

Tina’s sudden entrance surprised everyone at the dining table.

“Didn’t you say you were in the hospital? How dare you lie to me now?” Tina’s voice was full of vigor and there was an indignant tone in her voice. The three of them trembled when they heard it.

“Maria, why are you back home? Didn’t I say Lauren would bring harm to you? You came back here because you don’t want your life anymore?”

“Mom…” Sean said.

“Don’t call me Mom. I think you want to override me now. You actually joined forces with your wife and your child to lie to me.”

Tina seemed to be in a fit of anger now, and she was no longer as elegant as before.

Lauren furrowed her brows when she heard what Tina said. She did not understand why Tina was so angry.

Franklin and his brothers came downstairs, perhaps because they heard the commotion.

“Grandma.”

Tina ignored them and sat on the sofa, looking serious and angry.

“I brought Maria back because she wanted to see Lauren at that time. Now that we’ve seen her, we’ll send Lauren back today.”

Franklin immediately knew what had happened when he saw the scene.

He was about to speak, but Sean spoke first. Usually, Sean was someone who didn’t even dare to breathe loudly when he was in front of Tina.

“Mom, Lauren is our daughter. How could we abandon her? Moreover, when Maria fell sick this time, it was Lauren who saved her.”

Maria nodded. “Yes, if it weren’t for Lauren this time, I would have lost my life a long time ago. We won’t leave Lauren this time. Similarly, you can’t take Lauren away.”

Mr. Hayes also came in from the door. He was stunned when he saw the people in the living room. But he didn’t walk in. Instead, he stood in the side hall, not wanting to disturb their conversation.

Franklin said, “Grandma, Lauren did not cause any trouble after she returned. Instead, she has helped us a lot. So, in the past, it might be a mistake to say that she would bring harm to the Torres family.”

Tina slapped the coffee table, and the jade bracelet on her wrist shattered, but she did not care.

“It’s useless for any of you to say anything. Lauren, pack your things and leave this afternoon.”

“Mom…”

“Grandma…”

“I’ll leave,” said Lauren, who was silent since the beginning. Her comment stunned everyone, including Tina.

Franklin frowned as he picked up Lauren.

“Lauren, you don’t have to go back. You can stay here.”

Lauren shook her head. “I want to go back.”

“Why?”

Lauren bit her lip and struggled to get Franklin to put her down.

“I don’t like this place. You only like me because I saved you. All of you actually still hate me in your heart.”

“I have already completed what I need to do here. Back at the church, there are uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters that I like there. I will definitely be happier back there than staying here.”

Lauren did not stay any longer after she finished speaking. She turned around and went upstairs.

It was completely silent downstairs.

“Brother, what’s wrong with Lauren?” Quinn asked.

Franklin shook his head.

Tina stood up as if she was very satisfied with the outcome.

“Lauren is more clear-minded than all of you.” Tina picked up her bag, “Sean, you can bring Maria back to the villa and everything will return to normal. Oh right, Mr. Hayes will start following me from today. I need more help here.”

After she finished speaking, she left without caring about others’ reactions. Mr. Hayes followed behind her and left as well.

Her jade bracelet was left on the table, broken in half shining emerald under the light. It shone like an emerald under the light.

On this day, the Torres family underwent another change.

Lauren left home.

When she arrived, no one knew her and no one welcomed her.

When she left, a group of people urged her to stay behind.

Maria was very emotional.

“Lauren, it’s my fault. Can you forgive us? We’ll definitely treat you well in the future. Don’t leave us, I will miss you,” Maria said.

Sean put his arm around Maria’s shoulder, to prevent her from fainting.

Franklin and his brothers stood at the side. They did not speak, but their expressions were solemn and melancholic.

Lauren sat in the car that Tina sent. She did not even turn her head.

The car quickly drove away from the Torres family’s neighborhood. The moment it turned the corner, Lauren pouted and tears began to fall from her eyes.
