Chapter 587 Stephanie'S Misunderstanding
Chapter 587 Stephanie's Misunderstanding
She didn't reject the idea in her heart. The image of Lachlan holding a long sword and slaying demons would probably be imprinted on her mind for the rest of her life.
But Lachlan's sudden request to meet her parents made Stephanie feel a bit uneasy.
"Too fast?"
Lachlan was stunned for a moment, looking at Stephanie's blushing face, he suddenly guessed what she was thinking.
Uh... Did this girl misunderstand something?
"I just want to visit your home and meet your family," Lachlan explained his purpose.
Stephanie looked so much like his mother Aliya, with the same surname, that Lachlan suspected there might be some connection between them. Perhaps meeting other members of the Wynter family could help him solve his doubts.
However, after hearing what he said, Stephanie's face turned even redder as she stuttered and nodded, "Okay... I'll go back and tell my family."
Lachlan frowned and waved his hand, "Hey, you misunderstood me. I just want to visit as a guest. Do you understand?"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"Oh."
Stephanie looked at him strangely and nodded without knowing if she understood what Lachlan meant or not.
Lachlan smiled wryly.
After finishing their meal in an unusual atmosphere, Stephanie took the initiative to exchange contact information with Lachlan, asking him to inform her in advance when he planned to visit so that she could prepare her family.
As soon as Lachlan separated from Stephanie and got into the car to return to Edoland, he received a call from Miranda.
"Lachlan, when are you coming back?"
In the phone call, the voice of the goddess president was as cold and pleasant as always. It seemed to carry a strong sense of concern and longing, like a young wife eagerly awaiting her husband's return. Lachlan had already informed Miranda about rescuing Nora from Wicked Bone's clutches, so she was not worried about Nora but instead asked when Lachlan could come back.
Hearing this familiar voice, Lachlan's heart stirred.
Was this really the Miranda controlled by the evil spirit?
"I'm coming back right away. I should be home by tonight."
"Honey, do you miss me? Hehe..."
Lachlan asked with a smile.
"Go to hell! Who misses you? Humph!"
Miranda scolded in a coquettish tone upon hearing his words.
The next moment, her tone changed. "Then come back, I'll be waiting for you."
"Mhm!"
Lachlan agreed.
After a few more exchanges, they hung up the phone.
Lachlan pondered for a long time, then communicated with the Dragon Ancestor's Soul through his mind. "Dragon Ancestor, are you there?"
After a moment, the deep voice sounded, "What's the matter?"
"Are you... sure that my wife is being controlled by an evil spirit? The current her is not herself?"
Lachlan asked very seriously.
A phone call from Miranda made him feel restless.
He was afraid!
He was afraid that if the Dragon Ancestor's Soul made a mistake, the real Miranda would be harmed!
"Do you not believe me?"
Dragon Ancestor's Soul asked in an unsatisfied tone.
"It's not that. I'm just afraid that you might make a mistake. Just in case... hehe..."
Lachlan mumbled.
"Hmph! If you're not sure whether it's really her, you'll know when you try. If everything goes as expected, when you go back this time, she will still want to get close to you. The target will be my residual soul." Dragon Ancestor's Soul snorted coldly.
"Is that so?"
Lachlan's expression changed upon hearing this.
"If you're afraid that I might make a mistake, then I won't take the initiative. I'll wait until the evil spirit makes a move against me, and then I'll destroy it."
Dragon Ancestor's Soul seemed to care about Lachlan's concerns, or perhaps it was because it resided within Lachlan's body and had no choice but to do so.
Upon hearing its words, Lachlan finally felt relieved.
"Okay! Thank you, Dragon Ancestor."
"Hmph! Ungrateful brat!"
"Don't bother me if there's nothing important!"
Perhaps due to the matter of the crimson Soul Crystal, the Dragon Ancestor's Soul seemed to harbor some grievances. After uttering an annoyed remark, it disappeared once again. On that evening, a little after 6:30...
Inside the Emerald Green Estates villa, Lachlan returned and took a shower, feeling refreshed. Tonight, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, along with his brother-in-law Mason, had all come over. "Goddess President" personally took charge of the kitchen and, with Cara's assistance, prepared a sumptuous home-cooked feast.
"Lachlan, I heard that you sent Nora to a martial arts sect for training?" Emmanuel, his father-in-law, asked with a frown at the dinner table. Both Cara and Mason also looked at Lachlan with puzzled expressions.
"Miranda," perhaps afraid of
worrying her family, didn't tell
Emmanuel and the others about the
situation Instead, she lied and said
that Lachlan had sent Nora to a martial arts sect for cultivation and training. After all, it involved Lachlan's background and the curse on Nora's body, among other things.
Lachlan glanced deeply at Miranda sitting beside him, and she gave him a fleeting glance, conveying a message with her eyes. Lachlan understood and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Could this understanding and considerate "Goddess President" really be the true Miranda?
"Well, Nora has a special
constitution that is very suitable for cultivation, Lachlan nodded and
said, "No matter what I do, I can'tet
compare to those profound martial arts sects. Luckily, I have an elder brother who is an elder in one of those sects, so I sent Nora there."
"What kind of talk is that? Nora won't go to school anymore?" Cara glared at Lachlan, complaining and reproaching him. Although she wasn't Nora's biological grandmother, her fondness for the little girl was genuine.
Mason, her uncle, had an even darker expression. "My good nephew, you just sent her away like that... Brother-in-law, does Nora, a little girl, really need such intense training? It would have been better if you had sent me to the martial arts sect instead of her."
Lachlan smiled wryly. "Whether she goes to school or not, it's not that important, actually..."
"Mom, Dad, Mason, let's not talk about it anymore. Lachlan has his own plans," Miranda interjected, changing the subject. "Why don't you taste my cooking? It's getting cold if you don't eat it now."
Upon hearing Lachlan's response and Miranda's redirection, Emmanuel and the others didn't say anything further. However, during this meal, the topic of Lachlan and Miranda having another child came up once again.
"Lachlan, now that you've sent Nora
to the martial arts sect, you don't need to worry about her anymore," Emmanuel said, testingly, "You previously said that you wanted to focus all your energy on Nora, and we didn't say anything. But now, do you and Miranda have the energy to have another child?"
Under the table, Cara pinched Emmanuel and gave him a meaningful look. Then, the father-in-law cleared his throat and cautiously asked Lachlan.
As soon as the words were spoken, Lachlan couldn't help but cough, feeling a vein pulsing on his forehead. Miranda, sitting beside him, had a stunning face and remained silent, her every feature exuding
allure.
