Lachlan and the others returned to Emerald Green Estates.
These past few days, Miranda and Nora have been in their "honeymoon" phase, and with Lachlan going to the Capital, Miranda stayed here.
However, when she came back tonight, Miranda didn't say anything and went straight to her room. She was filled with resentment towards that bastard Lachlan! Just then, Nora timidly called out to her, "Mommy Miranda..."
Miranda paused for a moment before taking a deep breath and turning around. "What's wrong, Nora? I'm tired today; let's go to bed early, okay?"
Nora pouted and looked at her father. "Daddy, will you guys... get divorced one day?" Her big eyes were filled with anxiety.
Lachlan's heart tightened as he saw this while Miranda's expression changed slightly. For a moment they looked at each other in silence.
"It's okay," said Nora sadly as she tried to force a smile on her face. But it only made people feel sorry for her.
"No!" said both Miranda and Lachlan almost simultaneously in firm tones.
Miranda bit her lip as she gave Lachlan a complicated look before seriously telling Nora, "Nora, I promise you that I won't divorce your daddy unless he wants to marry someone else, okay?"
Seeing how distressed Nora was made Miranda feel like her heart was breaking again. The image of that night when she was in mortal danger flashed through her mind, the sight of Nora standing in front of her tearing apart the Suppressing Talisman.
Heh... if it wasn't for Lachlan, maybe she would have ended up marrying Isa after all those struggles were futile?
Even if Lachlan really was an asshole, at least he helped her escape from this fate!
Let her repay him by keeping up this fake marriage just for the sake of Nora...
At this point even Lachlan spoke firmly towards his daughter, "I also promise you that I won't divorce Miranda!"
"Really?" asked Nora whose big eyes seemed bright once again.
"Really!" replied both parents together firmly.
Lachlan and Miranda both nodded their heads.
"So, we're all in agreement!" Nora said seriously.
Lachlan and Miranda smiled and walked over, one on each side of Nora, extending their pinkies.
"Pinky swear, for a hundred years without change!" Nora exclaimed crisply.
"Yep, a hundred years without change!" Lachlan lovingly ruffled Nora's hair.
Nora blinked her eyes at them and suddenly blurted out to Lachlan and Miranda, "Daddy, Mommy Miranda, why don't you have a baby too? Can I have a little brother or sister?"
Hearing this made Lachlan and Miranda almost stumble to the ground.
Miranda's pretty face turned red with embarrassment, "Who wants to have babies with your dad? Let him go make babies with someone else!"
And Lachlan was speechless, "Nora, don't say silly things! What are kids thinking about these days?"
He never expected that Nora would say something like this. Before this little girl was most afraid of her father having another child who would take away his love for her. Now she was shouting for him and Miranda to have another baby?
