"Are...are you saying thank you to me?"
Bryce, who had just made up his mind to thank Lauren, started to feel embarrassed again when he heard Lauren's question.
"Of course I'm saying thanks to you. Do you see anyone else in the classroom? Besides, you're the only one who's called Lauren."
From Bryce's sudden tone, Lauren knew that Bryce was a little shy, which explained why he used his loud voice to cover himself up.
'The men of the Torres family seemed to be very good at saying one thing and meaning another,' Lauren thought in her heart.
She replied, "You're welcome. This is what I should do. Maintaining peace and order in the mortal world is my mission, and...you're my brother. It's my duty to protect my family."
Bryce felt even more ashamed when he heard what Lauren said.
He had previously treated Lauren with a bad attitude and said nasty words to her.
"I'm sorry."
