Chapter 278 I Don’t Want to Have Children Anymore
After taking another bite of the “stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots” that Lachlan had picked up, Miranda finally let him off with a grunt.
Feeling generous, she took both dishes away!
Mason looked at Lachlan sympathetically and breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh my god! His own sister’s cooking was too terrifying!
His brother-in-law was really lucky, haha! This guy thought to himself with glee…
“Come on, why don’t you try what I made?” Cara took Miranda’s creation away.
At this point, Nora was constantly being served by Emmanuel and Cara during dinner and they seemed to be very fond of the little girl. Nora gradually relaxed from her initial nervousness and became more natural as her grandparents called her affectionately.
At this moment, Emmanuel turned to Lachlan and Miranda with an expectant look on his face, “Lachlan, Miranda, after the wedding is over, you’ll be real husband and wife! You should live together then right?”
Cara also said to her daughter, “Miranda, your father and I don’t care why you first chose Lachlan but we’ve accepted him as our son-in-law! You two hurry up and give us a grandchild!”
As soon as she heard this statement, Miranda exclaimed in embarrassment, “Mom, what are you talking about? Who… who wants to have a baby with him?”
Mason chuckled on the side while winking at Lachlan.
However, upon hearing these words, Nora, who had been happily eating earlier, suddenly lost her smile.
Her small hand subconsciously grabbed onto her father’s big hand while looking at him anxiously through big eyes.
Lachlan’s heart trembled slightly but he quickly grabbed Nora’s small hand back warmly.
The next second, he took a deep breath before saying, “I’m not planning on having any more children! Having one like Nora is enough for me so please understand.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Emmanuel and Cara were stunned; their brows furrowed immediately.
“Lachlan, are you saying that you’re not planning on having your own child with Miranda?” asked Emmanuel sternly.
Cara also stared at Lachlan intently conveying strong questioning intent in her gaze.
Meanwhile, when Miranda looked at Lachlan for some reason, there was a hint of sadness flashing deep within her eyes.
The next second, a smile appeared on her face and she spoke in a coquettish tone, “Dad, Mom, what are you doing? Who said I want to have children? I never had that intention!”
“Haha, why talk about this? You guys are too much. My sister and brother-in-law are making me blush!” Mason quickly laughed it off.
Emmanuel and Cara didn’t say anything else but their faces looked visibly unhappy.
The rest of the meal was subdued except for discussing wedding plans.
After dinner, Mason stayed behind while Miranda and Lachlan left with Nora early.
“Honey, I’ve been wanting to find an opportunity to explain this to you! I only want one child. That’s Nora. Can you understand?” Lachlan hesitated before speaking up in the car.
Miranda snorted arrogantly as if she didn’t care at all. “Don’t act like I’m dying to have your baby.”
“Hehe…” Lachlan awkwardly chuckled.
Miranda adjusted her mood and turned back towards Nora with a smile. “Okay, I understand! Nora is our daughter after all.”
Hearing this made Lachlan’s eyes fill with emotion. “Thank you, Miranda!”
“Hmph,” Miranda lightly hummed as if pouting but turned away from him towards the window where she couldn’t help but feel sad and self-mocking inside…
The following week was spent preparing for Miranda and Lachlan’s wedding which included sending out invitations ahead of time!
That afternoon, Victoria sat outside drinking tea while holding an invitation for Miranda and Lachlan’s wedding nearby.
Regardless of everything else, she was still Miranda’s grandmother so Emmanuel naturally invited her along with other members of the Lowe family.
Victoria had already received some medical treatment including taking some supplements after having someone clear her meridian points which helped improve her health.
She didn’t have any major illnesses before; it was just that Romeo’s family had caused her great distress earlier on…
“Hmph,” Victoria coldly snorted as she looked at the invitation and was filled with dark emotions written across her face.
Miranda not only did not listen to her advice and marry into the Austin family, but her family also went all out to help Miranda and Lachlan hold a wedding?
This made Victoria furious!
The thought of Lachlan and Miranda being happy together made Victoria even more filled with gloom and hatred.
It was only slightly satisfying for her when she had caused trouble for Lachlan last time.
But she felt like it was far from enough!!
She had already informed everyone in the Lowe family that no one was allowed to attend the wedding on that day, including those who were close partners with them or some second-rate families, all of whom received Victoria’s permission.
Otherwise, they would be disrespecting her!
“Lachlan, Miranda! I’ll see how many people will attend your wedding!”
“When none of your expected guests show up and all reserved seats are empty, let’s see how you can handle it!”
“People in the whole Edoland will laugh at you then! Hehe…” Victoria’s face showed a sinister expression as she muttered coldly to herself.
Just then, two people walked in from outside the yard sneakily looking around.
Victoria saw them and snorted coldly while showing strong anger on her face.
Those two people were Romeo and Harlow!
Although they were caught after drugging Victoria before, they managed to get away by using various connections behind Eliza who took over all charges against them later.
And since this “victim” didn’t press charges against Romeo or Harlow, it could be considered as giving them a way out. So finally both got released.
“You two still have the nerve to come here?”
“Get out!” Victoria scolded coldly.
“Mom!”
“Grandma…”
Romeo and Harlow came over, knelt down with regretful expressions on their faces.
“Mom, I was confused before. It was Eliza who whispered in my ear. I didn’t mean harm you.”
“I know I’m wrong. Please give me another chance so I can take care of you well.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Romeo wiped his tears, kneeling down before Victoria confessing his mistake.
