Chapter 25 If you don't want to embarrass yourself, then get lost!

Today, Miranda left work early to go pick up Nora from kindergarten with Lachlan. They drove in the same Bentley Mulsanne as before, but this time Lachlan was driving.

On the way there, Miranda asked him to stop so she could buy Nora a 4X locator watch that also had calling capabilities. She felt it was only right and proper to bring a gift for her first official meeting with his daughter since their brief encounter in the hospital.

Lachlan didn't say much but silently acknowledged that women from prominent families like hers always observed formalities and protocol.

"Daddy!"

After school, Nora spotted Lachlan immediately and ran over to him with joy in her eyes. Seeing his little girl running towards him filled Lachlan's heart with tenderness and contentment. He couldn't help but smile indulgently at her antics.

Compared to when she was lying helpless on a hospital bed barely clinging onto life, seeing Nora now bouncing around full of energy made it seem like two different people entirely.

Miranda stood by watching them interact and couldn't help feeling a twinge of jealousy at how lovingly he looked at his daughter. It seemed like he had transformed into an entirely different person compared to the ruthless man who would not hesitate to take down Rex in their company meetings.

For some reason, thinking about how caring he was towards his daughter reminded her of her own father which made her feel sad inside. She wished that he could be just as supportive of her as well

- someone who would always have her back no matter what happened or when she needed them most.

But instead, all they wanted for their daughter was for her to marry into the Austin family which made Miranda feel even more alone than ever before.

"Nora, did you have fun at school today? Did anyone bully you?" Lachlan squatted down and picked up Nora, giving her nose a little scratch.

Hearing this, Miranda couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Didn't most parents ask if their kids were good or not? If they misbehaved? This guy just cared about his own daughter and whether she was being bullied or not. Talk about playing favorites...

"Nope! I had so much fun today! I played with lots of other kids and the teacher was really nice to me," Nora said.

It made sense though - Nora got into the school because of connections through the Ward family, and even the principal had talked to her teacher beforehand.

"Good! As long as you're happy. Say hi to Auntie Lowe!" Lachlan said happily.

"Hi Auntie Lowe! You're so pretty!" Nora exclaimed, looking up at Miranda with wide eyes.

The little girl had been having a great time at school these past few days - she was in good health and seemed more cheerful than ever before.

"Aww, you're such a good girl, Nora! Here's a present for you - try it on and see if you like it," Miranda said with a smile as she helped put on the watch for Nora.

Nora nodded her head, "I like it, thank you Auntie. But Daddy said I can't take other people's things."

"Nora, Auntie Lowe is not someone else. She is your stepmother and my new wife," Lachlan chuckled.

Miranda heard this and a blush flashed across her pretty face as she rolled her eyes at Lachlan.

"Stepmom?"

Meanwhile, Nora blinked her eyes but a hint of sadness flickered across her 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 forget about that heartless biological mother of hers!!

After getting into the car, Miranda took the initiative to sit in the back seat and gave the front seat to Nora.

All along the way, Lachlan was deliberately trying to cheer up the little one.

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 a hungry kitten.

"Haha, alright then, let's go eat hot pot!" Lachlan laughed.

Miranda had no objections. Although she had a cold and aloof personality, she wouldn't act that way towards a child.

Twenty minutes later...

Following Miranda's suggestion, Lachlan drove to a local hot pot restaurant in Edoland called "Love Boiling". Compared to the famous brand, this restaurant was more unique and upscale with fresher ingredients and tastier broth. Of course, the prices were also higher!

Compared to those chain restaurant, the truly influential people in Edoland preferred coming here for hot pot.

"Oh! Isn't this Ms. Lowe? What a coincidence!" As soon as the three of them 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 who happened to run into Lachlan's group at the door of the hotpot restaurant.

The woman looked at Miranda with eyes full of provocation and teasing. The bald man's expression was not friendly either!

The Lowe family was a prominent clan in Edoland, and most people gave them respect. Miranda, the heiress of the Lowe family, was also well-known in the upper circles of Edoland and generally not someone to be messed with. However, there were always exceptions.

Dominic Moss - a balding man who happened to be worth millions as the 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 - an underground boss in town. This meant that he wasn't afraid of the Lowe family or Miranda herself.

And then there was Rose Moss - Dominic's wife who was over twenty years his junior but exuded elegance and refinement while carrying her Prada bag. Her clothes were all limited editions and her features delicate; however she gave off an air of vulgarity.

"Oh! It's Mr. Moss and Mrs. Moss!" said Miranda upon seeing them both without much warmth or enthusiasm.

She had a cool and cold personality, disdainful of speaking in weird ways 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, wearing a mischievous expression, looked at Lachlan.

"Ms. Lowe, who is he? Did you find another gigolo?"

Miranda's face darkened, "It has nothing to do with you, please move aside!"

At this moment, Dominic also came forward and pointed playfully at Lachlan, "Ms. Lowe, that's not right! We're old acquaintances after all. You found a new fiancé and didn't introduce him? Haha..." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Miranda's expression sank as she looked at the couple blocking her way. They had an attitude that they were going to embarrass her today which made her feel annoyed and helpless.

She couldn't possibly start yelling or fighting with these two people like a shrew.

Subconsciously, she turned around and looked at Lachlan with pleading eyes.

Lachlan snorted coldly and stood in front of Miranda. He pushed Dominic 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!"
