Chapter 171: Kite-Flying
As they were going out to play today, Franklin gave all the servants at home a day off so that they could go home and spend time with their families.
After breakfast, they drove off in a seven-seater car.
Ben was the driver, and behind him sat the three siblings and Mr. Hayes.
“Miss Torres, where are we going today? Master Franklin said you’ll make the decision today.”
“I want to fly a kite! I’ve never flown a kite in my entire life.”
The weather was very good today, with sunlight and slight wind.
It was indeed a good day to fly a kite.
“Let’s go to the west side of the city. There’s a piece of grassland over there that has just been opened to the public. We can go in and play.”
“How did you know that, Miss Torres? Do you watch the news?”
Lauren pouted. “I am a person with supernatural powers.”
Of course, the truth was this part of the west side of the city belonged to Lauren.
So, Lauren knew about the progress of the project over there.
First, they went to buy kites, a picnic cloth and some food.
The west side of the city was a newly developed area.
There were not many people there yet. The air was very fresh and the environment was also very good.
When they walked to the meadow, they realized what Lauren said was true.
There were only a few groups of people gathered on the meadow. All of them had set up tents and picnic cloths. They sat there leisurely and basked in the sun.
Franklin was not the CEO today, nor was Quinn a famous model. Both of them were menial labourers today, as they took their tents and went to the side to study the instruction manual.
Meanwhile, Lauren was sitting in the same spot, fiddling with her own kite.
Lauren had picked the kite herself. It was very big and was shaped like a fish.
Franklin had asked Lauren why she chose this style. Lauren replied, “A fish will never have the chance to fly in the sky in its entire life. Let it fly in my hand for once.”
Unfortunately, the kite was too big for her to fly on her own, so she had to hold the kite and wait by the side.
Mr. Hayes was too old to play with her.
In order to make Mr. Hayes more comfortable, they brought a chair from home. Mr. Hayes sat on the chair and basked in the sun.
Ben went to buy some drinks.
Both Franklin and Quinn had led a pampered life. Although Franklin was very smart, he rarely went outside to play, so he didn’t know anything about tents.
As for Quinn, he usually brought his assistant with him wherever he went, so he had never set up tents personally.
They bought the most complicated tent with the highest safety factor, so it took them some time to set up the tent.
It took them a lot of effort, but the tent was really strong when it was put up.
Lauren happily scampered inside the tent, which was like a small castle, and started to roll around in it.
Ben bought the drinks back. They laid out the picnic cloth and then topped it with the snacks and drinks they had just bought.
Lauren stuffed a lemon-flavored candy into her mouth and waved at Franklin and Quinn with the kite in her hand.
“Come and accompany me to fly the kite. I can’t fly it alone.”
Franklin and Quinn each held the kite and the string in their hands, and they worked together to fly the kite.
As Lauren was too short, there was nothing she could do during the process. She could only stand beside Mr. Hayes and watched in a huff.
The two brothers ran wildly on the grass.
As they ran, the wind blew at their hair and messed it up.
They had smiles on their faces as they relaxed.
Mr. Hayes also smiled.
Lauren turned her head in confusion.
“Mr. Hayes, why are you smiling?”
Mr. Hayes pointed at the two people who were running in the distance.
“I’ve never seen Master Franklin and Master Quinn laugh so happily. Even when Mr. and Mrs. Torres were at home, they were never this happy.”
Lauren did not know the Franklin’s and Quinn’s past, as the two of them rarely talked about themselves.
She was curious to know about them now. She sat down on the ground, not caring if her dress would be dirtied.
Since it was spring, the grass was newly grown. It was still soft and did not sting.
“Why are Franklin and Quinn not happy?”
In Lauren’s memory, those children who had their parents by their side seemed to be very happy.
Mr. Hayes looked at Lauren and used his wrinkled hand to gently stroke her hair.
