"Honey, what's this..." Lachlan looked at the table with a strange expression and cautiously asked Miranda.
At this moment, the Goddess CEO's pretty face blushed slightly, seemingly a bit unnatural. She glared at Lachlan with a cold face and said, "Stop talking nonsense and eat!"
This large portion of tomato and scrambled eggs was obviously meant for three people. In addition, she steamed a pot of rice in the electric cooker, but it was clear that she added too much water, making it resemble slightly thicker rice porridge...
As for the tomato and scrambled eggs, they appeared normal on the surface.
Lachlan smiled awkwardly and gestured to Nora, "Let's eat! Nora, try your mother Miranda's cooking."
With a determined expression, he bravely took a spoonful of tomato and scrambled eggs, as if facing execution.
"Huh?"
But the next moment, Lachlan exclaimed in surprise. Although the taste was a bit mild, it couldn't be considered dark cuisine at all. He looked at Miranda in astonishment, not expecting her to make something "normal" this time.
"How is it?" Miranda blinked her beautiful eyes and asked with some anticipation. There seemed to be a hint of nervousness on her pretty face.
"Yeah!" Lachlan vigorously nodded. "It's delicious!" He immediately scooped several more spoonfuls into his bowl.
Nora also took a small bite and honestly said, "It's a bit bland..."
Hearing this, Miranda exclaimed, "Huh?" She couldn't help but bite her lip, seemingly concerned about the little one's evaluation.
At this moment, Lachlan glared at Nora, and Nora elongated her tone and quickly nodded her head, saying, "It's really delicious! The tomato and scrambled eggs made by Miranda mommy are so tasty."
Following her father's example, the little one scooped several spoonfuls into her own small bowl.
Observing this, Miranda couldn't help but roll her eyes in exasperation and deflate, saying, "Could it be that I really have no talent for cooking?"
Tomato and scrambled eggs were considered the simplest dish, so Miranda chose to make it, intending to cook for Lachlan and Nora. However, the result was clearly not satisfactory.
"Who said that! Honey, you're simply a cooking genius. The second time you cook and it's already this delicious. Keep it up!" Lachlan coughed and quickly encouraged her.
Upon hearing these words, Miranda pursed her lips and actually nodded earnestly. "Yeah! I'll do my best to learn how to cook."
She didn't want to be a young lady who didn't know the first thing about cooking or an icy CEO who had nothing to do with worldly matters. The current Miranda, deep in her heart, wanted to be a certain jerk's wife and become Nora's mother.
Three years!
After reading that diary, Miranda finally understood why, after causing a scene with Lachlan that night, he said he only needed to "make do" for three years. It was because he might... only have three years left!
On Nora's seventh birthday, she would ...
Throughout the day, Miranda's emotions were in turmoil as she contemplated many things. She thought about Lachlan possibly facing the "ancient Willis family," and Nora possibly having less than three years to live. Miranda's heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.
But she also came to a realization and made a decision!
What did it mean to "make do" for three years?
No!
Even if there truly were only three years left between herself, Lachlan, and Nora, she absolutely couldn't settle!
As Lachlan finished speaking, he paused while holding his rice bowl. He looked at the serious Goddess CEO in front of him, and a strange feeling stirred within him.
"Honey, you..."
Miranda glanced at Lachlan, smiled, and said, "It's nothing! I just wanted to learn to cook delicious food for Nora. Is that not allowed? It's not for you, so why do you have that expression? Hmph..."
Lachlan made a puzzled sound and awkwardly smiled.
