In the evening, Lachlan brought Nora to the pharmaceutical company to pick up Miranda after work.
Upon seeing the little girl, Miranda furrowed her brow. "Lachlan, what's wrong with Nora? Who bullied her?"
Nora still had tears on her face, clearly having just cried.
"Miranda..."
Although she was still angry at Lachlan, when she saw Miranda, she politely greeted her by pouting her lips.
"Nora sweetie! Tell me what happened?"
Miranda picked up Nora and asked with concern as she looked at the teary-eyed little girl who seemed so pitiful and adorable at the same time.
"Don't mind her. She's just throwing a tantrum."
Lachlan waved his hand impatiently.
"How could you say that? Nora is such a good kid. You need to be patient when taking care of children! If you're not patient enough, let Nora stay with me!"
Miranda gave him a disapproving look and defended Nora without thinking twice about it. She thought that sometimes men like Lachlan might lack patience when dealing with children.
"Nora can't separate from me for sure. You want to take care of her? Fine! Why don't you move into Emerald Green Estates where I live? That way you can spend more time with her!"
Miranda rolled her eyes at him arrogantly and added sarcastically, "Do you want me to spend more time with your daughter or do you have some ulterior motive?"
Lachlan smiled awkwardly, "What ulterior motive could I possibly have? My villa is huge; there are plenty of rooms."
The goddess CEO snorted disdainfully, "Hmph! No thanks!"
At this point, Miranda glanced at Lachlan's expression and for some reason felt worried that he might actually be disappointed if she refused his offer. Then she quickly added, "At least not until after our wedding."
"Uh... okay."
Lachlan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly while Miranda continued in a different tone, "Oh by the way Lachlan, I want to visit my grandmother tomorrow morning. Do... do you have any free time?"
Lachlan nodded in agreement, "Sure thing! Let me know what works best for your schedule since it seems like you're always busy."
"Great, then I'll ask my parents and Mason if they would like to come too," said Miranda before ending their conversation for now.
The next morning, Lachlan drove Miranda and her father Emmanuel to the Lowe family's old mansion.
Cara, the mother-in-law, had no interest in going as she knew it was to visit the old lady.
Emmanuel and Miranda felt obligated to show filial piety and insisted on going.
Cara didn't stop them but had no intention of doing anything for Victoria. Especially after hearing that Romeo was planning an attack on Mason with a group of experts that night. Cara despised her mother-in-law even more.
She knew that Victoria gave power to Romeo which made all the high-level members of the Lowe family obey him.
Of course, after learning that Lachlan had stabilized their underground forces and helped her son out of trouble, Cara was even more satisfied with him as a son-in-law.
As for Mason, he had been too busy these past few days with many problems to solve so he didn't come along. But there was probably some resentment towards Victoria in his heart!
