Chapter 266 What Game Are We Playing?
“Wow! Daddy, the car behind us just fell off!” Nora exclaimed with a surprised expression on her face from the backseat.
Lachlan chuckled and slowly pulled over to the side of the road. “Sweetheart, wait for me in the car. Daddy’s going to check it out.”
“Do you want me to call 911?” Nora asked innocently, but her big eyes were rolling around mischievously like a little troublemaker.
No matter how people looked at it, she seemed like she was enjoying someone else’s misfortune.
The car behind them had been honking at them incessantly, and Nora found it annoying too.
After Lachlan got out of the car and approached the railing by the riverbank, he saw that two heads popped up from under water after a few surges of water.
Looking at Dagger with narrowed eyes, Lachlan recognized him right away!
Wasn’t this one of Romeo’s hired killers who took down Dale last time?
In addition to him was an unfamiliar young man.
Lachlan snorted coldly and was considering whether or not he should take care of them now!
However, just then when that strange young man surfaced from under water again, he began cursing loudly at Lachlan while pointing his finger accusingly at him.
His tone and expression were extremely anxious and frantic!
“Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear me honking my horn?”
“There’s a bomb in your car! A bomb!”
“What about that kid? Why did you leave her alone? Where is she?”
“Hurry up and get that child out here!”
Lachlan made an awkward sound as he looked strangely at this guy who seemed so concerned about their safety all of sudden. Were these two assassins not here to kill him but rather trying to warn him instead?
“Dude,” Lachlan said as he shook his head while holding up what had been disarmed already. “Is this what you’re talking about? It’s already taken care of. There is no problem.”
“I didn’t know your intentions were good. I’m sorry,” Lachlan added apologetically because they misunderstood each other earlier. He felt guilty for having tricked them into falling into the river accidentally when they tried warning him kindly before.
At this point Makhi’s expression froze suddenly as he stared wide-eyed in disbelief watching Lachlan holding his beloved bomb which had now been disarmed completely without consulting him first.
“My bomb!” He gasped incredulously while struggling for breath almost dying on spot due to shock.
“You’ve already dismantled my bomb?”
“My car too… my damn car has sunk into the river thanks to your stupidity… you owe me compensation for my loss!!”
Lachlan became even more confused upon hearing Makhi’s complaints since it sounded like he owned the bomb?
Did he set up the bomb himself?
And he then ran over here trying warn him afterwards?
What kind of game was being played here?
Did he run into some crazy people outside today?!
Lachlan looked at Makhi and Dagger with a dumbfounded expression before turning around and walking away. Meanwhile, the president of the Blood Slaughter Association and his henchmen were still struggling in the water. Lachlan’s final look had deeply insulted them.
Later that day, outside a restaurant near Marinaland, Nora happily pulled Lachlan’s hand as they walked towards the entrance. “Nora, are you having fun?” Lachlan asked indulgently as he watched his daughter’s lively demeanor.
“I am!” Nora replied with two dimples on her face.
Then she looked up at him with hopeful eyes and said, “Daddy, can we do more exciting things this afternoon? I want to ride roller coasters!”
Lachlan shook his head. “Nope. Those rides aren’t suitable for you yet. You’re still too young.”
“But Daddy! I want to ride them!” Nora pouted while pulling on Lachlan’s hand.
Suddenly, Lachlan brightened up as he pointed in a certain direction and said, “Hey baby girl! Look who it is!”
Nora turned her head to see Chloe and Kiera standing nearby. She ran over excitedly shouting, “Chloe! Kiera!”
“You guys are here too?”
Over there, unmistakably, was Kiera, the Ward family’s daughter, and Erik’s great-granddaughter Chloe.
Kiera brought Chloe to play today, and they happened to have lunch at this restaurant.
However, they arrived earlier and had been sitting there eating!
Seeing Nora running towards them, Lachlan hesitated for a moment and followed suit. Although the last time things didn’t look good at the Ward family, since they encountered each other, Lachlan felt he should still greet them.
“Nora? What are you doing here?” Chloe, seeing Nora, also showed a surprised expression and directly put down her fork, jumping down from the chair.
But the next second, when the little girl saw Lachlan, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes. Last time when Nora had an episode, Lachlan behaved like a wild beast, and Chloe still vividly remembered.
“Uncle Lachlan,” Chloe hesitantly greeted him.
“Hi there Chloe.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Lachlan felt the little girl’s fear of him and felt a surge of guilt.
He tried to put on a friendly smile and turned to the little girl. At that moment, Kiera pulled Chloe closer to her side, her beautiful face showing a hint of coldness.
“Mr. Willis, please feel free to take your daughter with you! Don’t scare my niece, thank you!”
Lachlan made an “um” sound and said, “Miss Ward, I was wrong last time. I misunderstood your family. I apologize to you here. It’s understandable that you don’t like me, but the children don’t know anything about it. Nora and Chloe seem close enough so let them play together.”
Kiera snorted coldly and glanced at the two little girls who had already gathered together; her eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow slightly.
“Kiera! So this is where you are? I finally found you!”
Just then a voice rang out.
Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw an overweight young man walking towards them with excitement written all over his face.
The clothes on this fat young man were not from any brand name store but were made from very high-quality materials by specialized clothing designers.
He had an Audi R8 supercar key hanging from his waist and wore a limited edition Patek Philippe watch on his wrist.
At first glance, he looked like someone born into wealth!
When Kiera saw this overweight young man, she felt annoyed; her eyebrows furrowed even more tightly than before.
But in just one second, she glanced at Lachlan calculatingly before turning back towards him again with a flirtatious smile on her lips as if seeing him for the first time ever!
Then standing up directly from their booth seat, she hooked onto Lachlan’s arm while looking at the fat man with amusement in her eyes saying, “Mr. Smith! What brings you here in Edoland?”
Lachlan was stunned for a moment before reacting quickly – he realized he was being used as bait?
Meanwhile, Kiera’s eyes flashed cunningly as she thought: This bastard Lachlan has been taking advantage of the Ward family too many times now… it’s about time we use him for our own benefit!
