Chapter 357 Spoiled Rotten
Lauren nodded and walked into the bathroom, where she saw the toothpaste had already been squeezed out for her again.
She started washing her face and brushing her teeth. Once she finished cleaning up, she picked up the hairbrush, ready to do her own hair.
But before she could, Madam Shirley snatched the brush right out of her hand.
“Lauren, come here. I’ll do it for you.”
Lauren felt touched, but still shook her head. “Mom, I can do it myself. The director said we should handle- our own things.”
Hearing that, Madam Shirley’s face flickered with disappointment.
She just wanted to be close to her daughter every second, wanted to personally braid her daughter’s pretty hair. But even this tiny little wish was rejected by her sweet girl.
Boohoo, it’s great that she’s so obedient, but I just want to pamper her–what am I supposed to do about that?
Just thinking about how pretty and cute she’ll look all dressed up like a doll, and how everyone will praise her when we go out–it makes me feel so proud I could burst.
Lauren looked into Madam Shirley’s pleading expression, and inside, she felt helpless–but also incredibly moved.
She sighed quietly, then gave in. “Well… how about you do my hair after all? I’m sure it’ll look way better than if I do it myself.”
Madam Shirley instantly lit up and happily began braiding Lauren’s hair.
She had very nimble hands and worked through Lauren’s long hair bit by bit.
Lauren watched in the mirror, amazed at Madam Shirley’s braiding technique. It looked so complicated- she was sure she could never do that herself.
But Madam Shirley didn’t find it troublesome at all. In fact, she was completely enjoying herself.
After finishing the braid, she clipped a pink bow on top of Lauren’s head.
Now, Lauren looked even more like a doll.
“Honey! Son! Come in here and look at our Lauren!”
Mr. Timely and Victor walked into the bedroom together. The moment they saw Lauren, their eyes practically turned into hearts.
Mr. Timely said, “Of course she’s my daughter–so pretty.”
Victor said, “Of course she’s my sister–so cute.”
The father and son showered Lauren with praise. Then they each brought her a dress.

Mr. Timely was holding a white princess dress.
Victor was holding a pink princess dress.
“Lauren, wear Daddy’s!”
“Lauren, mine’s prettier!”

Neither one of them was willing to back down. Lauren felt overwhelmed by happiness–but also a little helpless.
In the end, she chose Victor’s pink princess dress. But to keep things fair, she asked her dear daddy to pick a white sheer shawl to wear over it.
She thought that would settle everything.
But no–the two of them immediately started arguing again over whether she should wear pink or white princess shoes.
Lauren rubbed her forehead.
Was Willow doted on like this when she was little too? Did David and Elliot spoil her this much?
So this is what they mean when they say “a father’s love is like a mountain.” It really is overwhelming.
Lauren let out a long, deep sigh. In the end, she wore one pink princess shoe and one white one.
Mr. Timely gave her a big thumbs–up. “Didn’t I tell you my daughter’s amazing? So young, and already so smart–and fashionable too! Look at that styling–perfect! That’s what they call a ‘mismatched shoe‘ look!”
Victor grabbed Lauren and planted a huge kiss on her soft, chubby cheek.
“Lauren’s a born fashion icon! So cool! So awesome!”
Madam Shirley cupped her cheeks, staring at Lauren like a fangirl.
“Oh my god! Just a little touch–up and our sweet girl looks like a fairy! How can anyone be this pretty? Mommy’s little baby!”
Lauren thought to herself, Enough already, you guys.
She was starting to worry that they’d spoil her rotten.
The whole family kept showering Lauren with compliments for ages. None of them felt even a little embarrassed or self–conscious.
Once she was all dolled up, Mr. Timely scooped Lauren into his arms.
“Lauren, Daddy has to go to work and can’t come shopping with you today. But don’t worry–tomorrow’s your birthday, and I absolutely won’t miss it.”
Lauren cupped Mr. Timely’s handsome face.
“Daddy, go ahead and work. Mommy and Victor will be with me.” She paused, then added, “I’ll miss you.”

“That’s my sweet girl.” He kissed her little face, then passed her into Madam Shirley’s arms.
“Honey, Lauren’s all yours today. I’m off to work.”
“Okay. Be careful on the road.”
Once Mr. Timely left, Lauren was taken out by Madam Shirley and Victor.
