Miracle Doctor Daddy

Upon hearing Markus’ words, Emmanuel and Cara furrowed their brows in confusion. What did he mean by not minding if their daughter had been divorced? And who said anything about Miranda getting a divorce and marrying him? It was as if Markus believed that Miranda was actually going to leave her husband for him.

“Markus, Miranda has a great relationship with her husband. You don’t need to worry about it,” Cara said, her tone now slightly cool.

Alfred’s family didn’t say anything more after that. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“Mom and Dad, we’re back! Open up!” Miranda called from outside.

“Miranda’s here!” Cara exclaimed excitedly as she rushed over to open the door. Emmanuel also stood up and walked towards the entrance of the house.

Markus heard Miranda’s voice which made his heart skip a beat. He looked towards the door with excitement building inside of him. When they opened it, Lachlan and Miranda walked in holding hands with Nora following behind them while Mason trailed at their heels like an obedient puppy dog.

“Emmanuel, Cara!” Lachlan greeted them cheerfully as he entered the room while Nora looked up at Emmanuel and Cara sweetly calling out, “Grandpa! Grandma!”

“Eh! So this is Nora? She’s such an adorable child,” Cara smiled warmly at Nora while Emmanuel suddenly remembered something important before rushing off into another room only to come back carrying a large Barbie doll in his arms saying, “Here you go, Nora! This is your grandparent’s gift for meeting you!”

They both loved little Nora because she was Lachlan’s daughter so they treated her like one of their own grandchildren too!

“Thank you Grandpa, Grandma!” At first when she saw Emmanuel and Cara, Nora felt nervous but when she saw what they brought for her, she became happy again hugging it tightly against herself.

Lachlan looked at Emmanuel and Cara with gratitude shining brightly in his eyes; he never expected that they would prepare a gift for Nora too – showing how much thoughtfulness they had put into everything!

Meanwhile, Mason and Miranda were surprised to see Alfred’s family there but after exchanging greetings briefly, Markus turned his attention onto Lachlan instead looking down on him arrogantly asking, “Miranda, you just got married huh? Is this guy your husband then? Your kid looks pretty big already.”

His face twisted into an ugly sneer as if questioning whether or not Lachlan deserved someone like Miranda by his side, making everyone feel uncomfortable around him.

It seemed as though Miranda had betrayed him.

“Uh, let me introduce you. This is my husband, Lachlan!”

Miranda nodded and turned to Lachlan. “Honey, this is Markus, my childhood friend!”

Lachlan looked at the handsome young man and raised an eyebrow before extending his hand. “Hello.”

“Hello! I’m Miranda’s childhood sweetheart! I never thought she would get married!” Markus said with a hint of provocation in his voice when he stared at Lachlan.

While Miranda had referred to him as her childhood friend earlier, Markus emphasized that he was her “childhood sweetheart,” which was filled with a strong sense of challenge.

“Oh Emmanuel, this is your son-in-law? He looks decent enough. No wonder his family is so ordinary but still managed to marry someone like Miranda,” Alfred said while smiling slyly.

It sounded casual but it was actually a subtle insult towards Lachlan.

“What do you do for a living? How can you come empty-handed to your parents-in-law’s house?” Julia asked as well.

Alfred and his wife were also smitten with the beautiful and charming Miranda. If their son could marry her, then they would be blessed for life and have face wherever they went.

It was frustrating that she married an ordinary guy like Lachlan instead of someone better than him in every way possible from their perspective – almost like he stole their son’s wife!

“Who told you I came empty-handed?” Lachlan sneered; how could he not see what was going on?

He then turned to Emmanuel and Cara saying, “Emmanuel, Cara, our wedding day is coming up soon so I realized we haven’t given you the dowry yet. Today just happens to be convenient for us both since we’re here anyway. Don’t you guys think it’s too little!”

Upon hearing this, Emmanuel and Cara were momentarily stunned. Dowry? They had never thought about asking Lachlan for a dowry. Knowing that Lachlan had no parents and had essentially married into the family, they didn’t consider the concept of a dowry.

While they didn’t lack this bit of dowry money, since Lachlan mentioned it, they smiled and agreed.

“How could there be too little?! It’s the thought that counts!” Emmanuel waved his hand dismissively while Cara glared at her daughter, “Miranda! Did you come up with this idea? There are no such rules!”

She thought that Miranda had asked Lachlan to give them a dowry just to gain their approval.

“Ah? I didn’t know…”

The goddess CEO looked innocent, as if she had no idea about the matter. Only Mason smirked, knowing that his brother-in-law was about to surprise everyone.

At this moment, Markus sneered, “Dowry? Where is it? Why don’t you bring it out and let me take a look? Or are you planning on waiting until we leave?”

His mother Julia teased him with a smile, “Emmanuel, when did Miranda get married? Why is your son-in-law giving us the dowry now? Did he finally scrape together some money?”

Alfred rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, “With Miranda’s background and status, she shouldn’t have married an ordinary guy from an average family. As they say: men fear entering the wrong profession; women fear marrying the wrong man! Nowadays if you feel unsatisfied in your marriage, then just divorce! Markus has developed well in Ascye; if Miranda wants to leave her husband, then Markus won’t mind at all. With her qualifications staying in Edoland would be such a waste of talent. Why not let Markus take her abroad for development?”

“Yes! Yes!” Markus nodded repeatedly before looking at Miranda with admiration and saying, “Miranda, even if you’ve been divorced before, I won’t mind! I swear I’ll treat you like we’re meeting for the first time forever! We could earn two or three million dollars per year together!”

Hearing this made Miranda frown tightly.

Lachlan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Honey, did you hear that?! He says he’ll take you abroad where you can make two or three million dollars per year!” Despite being annoyed earlier by their comments, hearing Lachlan’s words made her burst into laughter.

In that instant, she was stunningly beautiful!

Apart from finding Lachlan’s exaggerated expression and tone amusingly funny herself even considered it as one big joke!

Earning two or three million dollars per year was quite something…
