Kiera watched as Lachlan took the marble back from her hand, her expression freezing on her face. The next second, she became emotionless again and let out a cold hum.
For no reason at all, a hint of annoyance surged in her heart!
"Daddy, are we playing with Chloe and Kiera this afternoon?" Little Nora asked expectantly at this time.
Lachlan glanced at Kiera's cold face and coughed awkwardly. "Miss Ward, what a coincidence to run into you! How about we have lunch together and let the two kids keep each other company in the afternoon?"
"Auntie..." Chloe tugged on Kiera's hand with an eager look on her face. Although this little girl was sometimes quite stubborn, she had a very pure heart. After playing with Nora for a while just now, she had already forgotten about their previous unpleasantness and wanted to find someone to play with.
Looking at the two children's hopeful expressions, Kiera glared at Lachlan before reluctantly agreeing. Well... since he helped her deal with Jude earlier, she would give him some respect.
Kiera had never eaten alone outside with another man before; even though there were two children present it still felt somewhat ambiguous. However, she wasn't worried that Lachlan would do anything to her - she knew he didn't have any intentions towards her.
Thinking like this made it easier for Kiera...
The two adults left the restaurant accompanied by the two children and went to another one instead since they might be talked about here due to what happened earlier.
At this time, however, there were pairs of eyes secretly watching every move that Lachlan made...
"This guy is really lucky! That beauty beside him is so damn pretty!" Dagger sneered as he spoke.
"Lucky? I'll make sure he lies flat soon enough!" Makhi gritted his teeth angrily in response.
"Mr. Davis ... they've entered that restaurant! When should we make our move?" Dagger suggested impatiently
"Why don't we just cover our faces and go in there straight away?" Makhi scolded him sternly. "This isn't Middle Truyas battlefield you know!"
"How many times do I need to tell you? We're assassins now! What does assassination mean? Killing people is an art form!"
...
The restaurant they entered was similar to those breakfast pie porridge shops where customers couldn't order dishes but rather served themselves then paid later upon leaving.
After the four of them finally found an empty seat, Lachlan casually placed the Bentley car keys on the table to reserve their spot. It was a weekend and there were many customers in this restaurant near the amusement park.
Since it was so difficult to find an empty seat, they had to occupy it quickly. Then, Lachlan and Kiera took Nora and Chloe respectively to get some food.
With people coming and going here, they naturally didn't want to leave their children alone at the booth.
On their first trip back, Lachlan and Kiera each brought some food back to the table including two bowls of seafood dumpling soup. Then they left again to go choose more dishes.
After they left, a young man wearing a mask stopped by their booth among the crowd. "Let me add something for you! Drink until you die! Hahaha..."
This young man was none other than Makhi, president of Blood Slaughter Association. He had been monitoring every move that Lachlan made.
Now he quickly poured half a bag of white powder into one bowl of dumpling soup where he had placed Lachlan's Bentley key earlier before stirring it with his spoon several times.
The powder dissolved in water instantly but from its surface appearance, there seemed no change in the dumpling soup whatsoever.
Makhi sneered then blended into the crowd before leaving quickly.
A little over a minute later, Lachlan and Kiera returned, carrying several dishes of food. Nora and Chloe each held two bowls of rice.
This time, the four of them, two adults and two children, finally sat down to start their meal.
Perhaps due to convenience, Kiera directly sat in the seat where the Bentley keys were placed.
Lachlan didn't say anything either. He put aside his car keys and sat across from Kiera.
Since the food had just been served and no one had touched it yet, it didn't matter where they sat.
