"Ben, let Lauren know that Cyrus is here." "I'm here, Grandpa." Lauren trudged down the stairs with her teddy bear in her arms. She greeted Mandy and Cyrus politely, "Hi, Mrs. Taylor. Hi, Cyrus." She was well-mannered, reflecting the good upbringing that she had as a daughter of a plutocrat.
Mandy rushed forward to hold Lauren's hand. She looked at her adoringly.
No matter how humiliating the rumors were and how much they hurt her, she was unaffected by them. She had the mental clarity to distinguish and the eyes to see that she was a rare treasure. It was the other people who were blind.
Suddenly, Mandy froze. She noticed that Lauren had nothing on her wrists. She hadn't worn the bracelet that she'd given her.
Mandy couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
Lauren was observant. She quickly explained, "Uh... I wanted to wear it initially. But it was too expensive. I was afraid that I'd break it." "No worries, my dear." Deep down, Mandy panicked for a moment. Then, she caressed Lauren's hand gently, "Since I've already gifted it to you, it's yours. It's up to you if you want to wear it or otherwise. It's alright with me." Lauren nodded shyly.
Cyrus had remained standing behind Mandy. His eyes were fixed on Lauren. His breathing quickened, and his heart started beating faster.
He saw that she had smiled. He unwittingly mirrored her and smiled too.
"Look at Cyrus' expression, Ben. Does he look more like a human now?" Newton nudged Ben, who was standing beside him.
"Mr. Beckett Senior, of course Cyrus looks like a human." Ben was amused.
Newton clicked his tongue. "Hey! Looking for trouble, aren't you?" He rolled his eyes at him. Then, he chuckled, "He looks exactly like Jasper when he gawks at Lauren! Jasper has that exact sfoolish look on his face when he stares at Lyse. How adorable!" Ben coughed softly. He couldn't help but grin. "It's Ms. Lauren who's outstanding enough. That was how she caught his attention." "Mr. Beckett Senior, Cyrus cover to bring Lauren out for sfun today."
Mandy smiled. "Cyrus has never taken a woman out on a date on his out on a dat own. He felt shy and decided to bringalong as his confidence boost." "Mom, when did I ever. Oof!" Cyrus was defending himself when Mandy stepped on his foot mid-sentence. He swallowed back his words.

Right at that moment, a roaring voice interrupted the light-hearted atmosphere.
