"Waiting for ghosts?!

"

n'Miss Lauren, can you stop making such a fuss? I'm afraid!' Ben thought to himself.

nOf course, Ben only dared to protest in his heart.

nStar Dream Amusement Park was not far. It was only a twenty-minute drive away.

nIt was noon. The sun shone directly on the ground, and the floor was burning hot. Lauren relied on her memories and found the place where Lily was standing before she got lost.

nThat place was a mini-mart. There were many tables, chairs and umbrellas set up in the open space outside.

nLauren sat there for five minutes while eating ice cream. She had already seen five or six parents bringing their children to this mini-mart to buy things.

nSystem Divine Nine: Two years ago, Yulia was also shopping in this mini-mart. She didn't look after Lily well, so Lily left.

n

"Well...I suddenly feel that it's not a coincidence that Lily got lost in this place. Maybe that little ghost deliberately waited here. She took advantage of the parents' carelessness when they were shopping and took away their children.

"

nSystem Divine Nine: Their children? Is there anyone else besides Yulia?

n

"It's just my guess.

"

nBen felt a little sleepy after waiting for a while, so he laid on the table and fell asleep.

nWhen he woke up, he found Lauren typing on the computer with a serious expression. It didn't seem like she was playing a game.

nNo, where did she get a computer? Ben looked at the computer screen, and saw a pile of letters and symbols densely packed together.

n

"Miss Torres, what are you doing?

"

n

"I'm typing on the computer.

"

nBen thought, 'Even after asking her, I still don't get what she is talking about.'

nThree hours later.

n

"Do you see a ghost, Miss Torres?

"

nLauren shook her head in disappointment. She had been using her spiritual sense to probe.

nThere were too many people in the amusement park and it was too noisy. Sometimes, her spiritual sense would be disturbed. However, during this period of time, she really did not find any traces of the little ghost.

nSystem Divine Nine: It has been two years, so the little ghost might not come back. There are many changes that can happen during these two years.

n

"I know, but this is the only solution we have now.

"

n

"Let's wait until the park closes. This place will be closed at six in the afternoon.

"

nBen looked at the time. Half an hour ago, Franklin had asked about Lauren's whereabouts, and he had told Franklin the truth. They should be arriving soon.

n

"The weather is so hot, Mr. Carson. Can you buy another ice cream for me?

" The sun was shining on Lauren's body, and her face was covered in sweat.

n

"Okay, I want to eat vanilla-flavored ice cream!

"

n

"No, didn't you already eat one?

" A familiar male voice sounded above Lauren's head.

nLauren raised her head, and saw Franklin in a suit.

nHe must have just gotten out of the car. The cool air from the air conditioner made Lauren want to hug him to relieve the heat.

nOf course, she controlled herself. She would never forgive them so easily!

nHence, Lauren averted her gaze and pretended not to see Franklin. She propped her chin on her hands and looked at Ben opposite her.

nHer eyes conveyed the message: You traitor!

nBen immediately stood up.

"Master Franklin, please sit down. I'll go get you some water.

"

n

"And an ice cream!

"

nFranklin sat down and glanced at Ben.

"Don't you dare.

"

nOnce again, Ben, who was sandwiched between the two domineering people, fled in panic.

nAfter not seeing Lauren for almost a day, Franklin actually felt he missed this little brat.

nOf course, he could only hold back his emotions. If he were to say it out loud, it would ruin his cold and overbearing image as a CEO.

n

"Ahem.

" In his family tradition, a fake cough was often used to start a conversation.

"Lauren, have you had enough? No matter what, you shouldn't have left without telling us. Do you know how worried Mr. Hayes was about you last night?

"

nLauren turned her head to the other side. She deliberately refused to look at Franklin and did not respond to him.

n

"What Quinn said yesterday was not intentional.

"

nLauren still ignored him. Her sweat-soaked hair brushed against her face, and the side of her face showed that her small lips were pouting high up.

nFranklin had deliberately postponed an international conference to coax Lauren today. In his opinion, this sacrifice was already big enough.

nHe had thought that Lauren would listen to him and go back after a casual coaxing. He did not expect her to be so stubborn.

nWhen had Franklin ever been treated this way? It had always been others who had lined up to look for him. It was fine if it was the other way around, but Lauren still did not appreciate his kindness.

nHis face also darkened.

"Lauren, talk to me! Are you that rude? Who taught you that?!

"
