Chapter 25 If you don't want to embarrassyourself, then get lost!
Today, Miranda left work early to go pick up Nora from kindergartenwith Lachlan. They drove in the same Bentley Mulsanne as before, butthis time Lachlan was driving.
On the way there, Miranda asked him to stop so she could buy Nora a4X locator watch that also had calling capabilities. She felt it was onlyright and proper to bring a gift for her first official meeting with hisdaughter since their brief encounter in the hospital.
Lachlan didn't say much but silently acknowledged that women fromprominent families like hers always observed formalities and protocol."Daddy!"
After school, Nora spotted Lachlan immediately and ran over to himwith joy in her eyes. Seeing his little girl running towards him filledLachlan's heart with tenderness and contentment. He couldn't help butsmile indulgently at her antics
Compared to when she was lying helpless on a hospital bed barelyclinging onto life, seeing Nora now bouncing around full of energymade it seem like two different people entirely.
Miranda stood by watching them interact and couldn't help feeling atwinge of jealousy at how lovingly he looked at his daughter. It seemedlike he had transformed into an entirely different person compared tothe ruthless man who would not hesitate to take down Rex in theircompany meetings.
For some reason, thinking about how caring he was towards hisdaughter reminded her of her own father which made her feel sadinside. She wished that he could be just as supportive of her as well -someone who would always have her back no matter what happenedor when she needed them most.
But instead, all they wanted for their daughter was for her to marry intothe Austin family which made Miranda feel even more alone than everbefore.
"Nora, did you have fun at school today? Did anyone bully you?"Lachlan squatted down and picked up Nora, giving her nose a littlescratch.
Hearing this, Miranda couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Didn't most parents ask if their kids were good or not? If theymisbehaved? This guy just cared about his own daughter and whethershe was being bullied or not. Talk about playing favorites...
"Nope! I had so much fun today! I played with lots of other kids and theteacher was really nice to me," Nora said.
It made sense though - Nora got into the school because ofconnections through the Ward family, and even the principal had talkedto her teacher beforehand.
"Good! As long as you're happy. Say hi to Auntie Lowe!" Lachlan saidhappily.
"Hi Auntie Lowe! You're so pretty!" Nora exclaimed, looking up atMiranda with wide eyes.
The little girl had been having a great time at school these past fewdays - she was in good health and seemed more cheerful than everbefore.
"Aww, you're such a good girl, Nora! Here's a present for you - try it onand see if you like it," Miranda said with a smile as she helped put onthe watch for Nora.
Nora nodded her head, "I like it, thank you Auntie. But Daddy said Ican't take other people's things."
"Nora, Auntie Lowe is not someone else. She is your stepmother andmy new wife," Lachlan chuckled.
Miranda heard this and a blush flashed across her pretty face as sherolled her eyes at Lachlan.
"Stepmom?*
Meanwhile, Nora blinked her eyes but a hint of sadness flickered acrossher small face.
Lachlan felt a pang in his heart when he saw this!
He knew the little one was thinking about her own mother!
Ah...
Claudia could be ruthless and unfeeling, but surely Nora couldn't forgetabout that heartless biological mother of hers!!
After getting into the car, Miranda took the initiative to sit in the backseat and gave the front seat to Nora.
All along the way, Lachlan was deliberately trying to cheer up the littleone.
Children have simple minds so she quickly became happy again."Nora, what do you want to eat? I will take you there!" Lachlan asked."I want to eat hot pot!" The little girl's eyes lit up, licking her lips like ahungry kitten.
"Haha, alright then, let's go eat hot pot!" Lachlan laughed.
Miranda had no objections. Although she had a cold and aloofpersonality, she wouldn't act that way towards a child.
Twenty minutes later...
Following Miranda's suggestion, Lachlan drove to a local hot potrestaurant in Edoland called "Love Boiling". Compared to the famousbrand, this restaurant was more unique and upscale with fresheringredients and tastier broth. Of course, the prices were also higher!Compared to those chain restaurant, the truly influential people inEdoland preferred coming here for hot pot.
"Oh! Isn't this Ms. Lowe? What a coincidence!" As soon as the three ofthem got out of their car and walked towards the restaurant entrance,an eerie voice sounded out.
A woman covered in jewels was arm-in-arm with a balding man whohappened to run into Lachlan's group at the door of the hotpotrestaurant.
The woman looked at Miranda with eyes full of provocation andteasing. The bald man's expression was not friendly either!
The Lowe family was a prominent clan in Edoland, and most peoplegave them respect. Miranda, the heiress of the Lowe family, was alsowell-known in the upper circles of Edoland and generally not someoneto be messed with. However, there were always exceptions.
Dominic Moss - a balding man who happened to be worth millions asthe owner of Dominic's Pharmaceutical. Unfortunately for Miranda,Dominic's company was a direct competitor to her own company -Lowe's Pharmaceutical. As such, they were naturally rivals and enemies.To make matters worse, Dominic had some connections with Tiger - anunderground boss in town. This meant that he wasn't afraid of theLowe family or Miranda herself.
And then there was Rose Moss - Dominic's wife who was over twentyyears his junior but exuded elegance and refinement while carrying herPrada bag. Her clothes were all limited editions and her featuresdelicate; however she gave off an air of vulgarity.
"Oh! It's Mr. Moss and Mrs. Moss!" said Miranda upon seeing themboth without much warmth or enthusiasm.
She had a cool and cold personality, disdainful of speaking in weirdways like them.
After replying, it was time to lead Lachlan and Nora in.
However, Dominic's wife clearly didn't want to let Miranda off the hook.She quickly walked a few steps and stood in front of Miranda.
In the next second, a woman with double eyelid surgery done, wearinga mischievous expression, looked at Lachlan.
"Ms. Lowe, who is he? Did you replace another gigolo?”
Miranda's face darkened, "It has nothing to do with you, please moveaside!"
At this moment, Dominic also came forward and pointed playfully atLachlan, "Ms. Lowe, that's not right! We're old acquaintances after all.You found a new fiancé and didn't introduce him? Haha..."
Miranda's expression sank as she looked at the couple blocking herway. They had an attitude that they were going to embarrass her todaywhich made her feel annoyed and helpless.
She couldn't possibly start yelling or fighting with these two people likea shrew.
Subconsciously, she turned around and looked at Lachlan with pleadingeyes.
Lachlan snorted coldly and stood in front of Miranda. He pushedDominic and Rose away with his arm.
"Don't block the road like dogs! What are you two babbling about here- one being a cuckold while the other has some venereal disease?"
"If you don't want to make fools out of yourselves then get lost!"
