"Okay, that's it for today. We'll meet again soon! I have to go now." After finishing their meal, Lachlan bid farewell to the four of them. They could rest and recover in Iylonio after completing this mission, but Lachlan was in a hurry to return home. He had already booked a flight from Iylonio to Kreanford at 7 pm tonight.
"Mr. Willis, are you going back to Edoland now? Why not stay in Iylonio for a few days? Let me show you around and be a good host," Simeon said warmly.
"No thanks! I have a wife and child who might worry about me. Next time, if there's an opportunity, I'll bring them with me to visit Iylonio. If you're free then maybe we can bother you," Lachlan shook his head.
Hearing this, Simeon didn't say much more and patted his chest saying, "Alright then! Looking forward to it."
"Mr. Willis, let us give you a ride," Orion offered kindly.
"No need! Take care of yourselves and get some rest!" Lachlan patted Orion's shoulder and pointed at the crutch beside him teasingly.
Orion smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.
After exchanging pleasantries with a few people, Lachlan left and hailed a taxi to Iylonio International Airport.
While waiting at the airport lounge area, Lachlan couldn't resist calling Miranda on the phone.
"Hmph! Finally remembered to call me?"
"Oops! Nora, you little rascal, where are my slippers?"
At this moment, inside the Emerald Green Estates villa, Miranda sat on the sofa, calling out to Nora while talking on the phone.
Nora, mischievously running around, held Miranda's slippers in her hands.
"Isn't it finally free? You're at my place?" Lachlan asked with a smile.
Through the phone, listening to the laughter between his daughter and Miranda, he felt an indescribable warmth. The gloomy mood that had persisted since the unfortunate news about his parents seemed to brighten at this moment.
"What did you say? What do you mean 'your place'? Huh?"
The goddess CEO, hearing Lachlan's question, seemed quite displeased, adding a touch of threat to her assertive questioning.
"Oh, not 'my place,' it's 'our place'! That's better, right?" Lachlan said awkwardly.
"Hmph! That's more like it. With you being such an irresponsible dad not around, I was thinking of playing with Nora for a while and then going back!" Miranda laughed.
"Why go back? Why not just stay?" Lachlan suggested.
"No way! Nora has Emerson to protect her, and it's not necessary for me to stay here! It's also a bit inconvenient."
Miranda glanced at Emerson standing straight at the entrance of the living room, serving as a protective pillar.
"Okay then. By the way, my flight is at 7 pm tonight. I'll transfer when I get to Kreanford and should be back by late night. I can pick you up and take you to work tomorrow morning," Lachlan said with a smile.
