That evening, Lachlan and Miranda left the factory together to pick up Nora from kindergarten. Although Mason's men, Dennis and Jeremy, had been secretly protecting Nora, Lachlan always preferred to pick up his daughter himself as long as he had time. They had planned to grab a bite to eat together outside.
However, just after leaving the kindergarten, Miranda received a call from Cara asking her and Lachlan to come over for dinner that night. She also mentioned that there was something they needed to discuss.
Lachlan dropped off Nora at Emperor Garden first and asked their nanny Lina for help with taking care of her and making some food for her before driving with Miranda towards Emmanuel and Cara's house.
He had considered bringing Nora along but decided against it since Emmanuel and Cara hadn't fully accepted him yet. He didn't want his daughter exposed to any potential harm if they said something in front of her.
When they arrived at the house, Mason had just arrived too. "Brother-in-law! Sis!" Mason greeted them warmly.
Miranda rolled her eyes dismissively at him, "Since when did you start calling him brother-in-law first?" She couldn't help but feel like Mason was closer with Lachlan than he was with his own sister.
The three of them entered the house chatting away only to find out that both Emmanuel's and Cara's faces looked grim despite having prepared dinner already.
"Dad? Mom? What happened? Why did you ask us over for dinner if you're going look so unhappy?" Miranda asked confusedly while both Lachlan and Mason looked puzzled too.
"Let's sit down first," Cara waved her hand and glanced at Lachlan, saying, "By the way, Lachlan, you didn't bring your daughter with you?"
Lachlan hesitated for a moment, surprised that his mother-in-law was asking about Nora.
"No, I didn't."
"Next time, bring the child with you. We haven't met her yet. Also, if you and Miranda have the time, you should go shopping for wedding dresses and have some bridal photos taken. I mentioned that we should have a wedding for you, and it's time to start planning."
Emmanuel and Cara exchanged a look, and Emmanuel casually added.
Lachlan was somewhat surprised, looking at Emmanuel and Cara, feeling a wave of emotions inside. Could it be that they truly accepted him now?
Miranda pursed her lips, a mix of emotion and delight crossing her face. She cast a glance at Lachlan, and for some reason, a sense of happiness welled up inside her.
Regardless of what Victoria and others thought, did her parents completely abandon the idea of marrying her off to Isa?
"Hmm, after this busy period," the goddess CEO nodded with a smile on her lips.
"I'll let you know in advance that I'll be the best man!" Mason's face lit up with excitement when he heard this and he emphasized his words.
"Okay, let's not just focus on this happy news! I need to talk to you guys about something..." Cara said with a furrowed brow.
"Oh... what is it?" Mason asked inexplicably as he put away his smile.
Cara explained the situation to all three of them. After she finished speaking, Miranda frowned in anger. "Grandma wants to throw a celebration for Uncle Romeo? And we have to go too? Why should we go?"
"My grandma is too biased! Isn't she making us go just so we can see their faces?" Mason also said sternly.
