As the relationship between Lauren Torres and Ruby Cromwell was getting better, Lauren Torres even invited her to watch a musical performance at the Children’s Palace this weekend.

This was the first time Lauren Torres went out with someone of her age. So she got up early in the morning on the weekend and began to dress herself up. She then hurriedly pulled Ben Carson out of the house.

When they reached Ruby Cromwell’s apartment, Lauren Torres bumped into another family on the same floor as Ruby Cromwell when she got out from the lift.

Ruby Cromwell’s apartment was located in a relatively high-end residential area. There were only two households on each floor. One of them was Ruby Cromwell and the other should be the auntie and her son in front of her.

The two of them looked like they were going out to buy groceries. They were holding an empty shopping bag in their hands.

As they looked unfamiliar, the woman asked, “Did you guys come to the wrong floor?”

Lauren Torres quickly explained, “We’re here to look for Ruby Cromwell. That door.”

Lauren Torres pointed to the door of Ruby Cromwell.

The woman nodded. “Oh, I remember now. You guys came here once before, right? I think I’ve seen you before.”

“Yes, yes. Your memory is really good, Auntie.”

“What’s so good about it? You’re so cute and it’s normal to remember you. You’re probably two years younger than my son.”

Lauren Torres looked at the little boy next to the woman. This little boy was considerably taller than her, and he had a pleasant look.

“I was born in September 2015!”

The woman also smiled. “He’s really two years older. My Son was born in September 2013.”

When she asked in detail, the two children were even born on the same day.

Therefore, the two parties chatted happily for a while before they said goodbye. They even agreed to celebrate their birthdays together in the future.

Although Lauren Torres knew that they were merely being polite, she was still quite happy. She had made another good friend. Moreover, he was a handsome little brother.

After saying goodbye, Lauren Torres walked to Ruby Cromwell’s door and was about to knock on it.

At that moment, she suddenly thought of something terrifying.

She put down her hand that was about to knock on the door and tugged at Ben Carson’s sleeve.

“Miss Torres, what’s wrong?”

“Mr. Carson, do you remember what date that Auntie said about her son’s birthday?”

“How could I not remember? Didn’t she say it just now? It was September 23rd, the day of the autumnal equinox. What’s wrong, Miss Torres? Are you afraid that I’ll forget your birthday? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely prepare a present for you.”

Lauren Torres was not excited about her birthday at all. Instead, she frowned.

“I’m not talking about this. At that time, Ruby’s mother told you that the chocolate cake she bought was to celebrate the birthday of the child next door. Do you still remember?”

“Yes, I do!”

Ben Carson nodded. It was only a few days ago. How could he forget so easily?

‘Wait a minute...’

“Miss Torres, are you saying...”

“But that little brother’s birthday wasn’t in April. How could she have bought that chocolate cake to celebrate his birthday?”

There was indeed someone who was lying about the chocolate cake. Moreover, the person who was lying was obviously Susan Harding.

Therefore, Susan Harding bought that chocolate cake on purpose.

Lauren Torres instantly felt a little scared.

Suddenly, Ruby Cromwell’s door opened.

“You’re here, Lauren? Why didn’t you knock? Why are you standing at the door? Ruby is still changing. Come in and have a seat.”

The person who opened the door was Susan Harding. She was very enthusiastic when she saw Lauren Torres, but Lauren Torres only felt cold.

However, there was no other evidence at the moment. Lauren Torres could only pretend to be her usual self.

After entering the living room, Lauren Torres was a little reserved. She sat on the sofa with Ben Carson.

Lauren Torres saw many photos of Ruby Cromwell in the living room. They were carefully framed and placed on various cabinets and in front of the television.

Lauren Torres had good eyesight. She could see that these photos were taken when Ruby Cromwell and her parents went for outings. At that time, Ruby Cromwell seemed to be a little younger than Lauren Torres. She looked like she was only three years old, and she smiled very sweetly.

Lauren Torres tilted her head. At that time, Ruby Cromwell still seemed to have a good relationship with her mother. Their intimate physical contact was very natural.

What exactly had happened that had caused Ruby Cromwell and her mother’s relationship to turn sour?

Susan Harding poured a glass of water for each of them and placed it on the table.
