Summer left directly from the window, and Lachlan came out of the room into the living room.
Miranda and Nora were sitting on the couch, watching cartoons on TV. When Lachlan approached, Miranda snorted and gave him a cold look. "Finished talking?"
Lachlan smiled awkwardly, his previous dominance in front of Summer seemed to disappear instantly. "Yeah..."
Miranda pointed to the kitchen with a stern face. "Go wash the dishes!" Although Miranda knew some things now, it didn't mean she would go easy on Lachlan.
When it was time to be angry, she still had to show her anger.
Upon hearing this, Lachlan quickly nodded and said humbly, "Okay."
"And tonight Nora is sleeping with me; you can have your own room," added Miranda coldly.
Nora also snorted at Lachlan at this point and said seriously, "Daddy, if you do bad things with other pretty ladies in future, I won't like you anymore! Hmph!"
Hearing this made Lachlan break out in a sweat.
This little girl had completely betrayed him! And what did she mean by doing bad things? The ungrateful child didn't know that he was doing everything for her sake?
Lachlan dutifully went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and came out to spend an hour watching TV with the two of them. Then, the three of them went for a stroll around the neighborhood for half a day.
Upon returning, as soon as Lachlan entered his room, he exclaimed, "Huh?" He closed the door with a look of surprise and after sniffing the air, his expression became somewhat peculiar.
Although his room appeared unchanged and had been restored to its original state by Miranda, Lachlan's senses couldn't overlook the lingering aura left by her.
"Has Miranda been in my room?" Lachlan muttered to himself and then quickly stepped into the study.
After a moment, Lachlan sat there with the diary in front of him, along with the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant that had turned grayish-white. Although Miranda had returned everything to its place, Lachlan still knew that things had been tampered with. He even distinctly saw a tear stain on one page of the diary.
Miranda had read his mother's diary!
In other words, she knew some things.
Lachlan couldn't help but sigh helplessly. Finally, he understood why she had been acting strange tonight.
"Honey, why did you have to know?" he said with a bitter smile. "This is something between my daughter and me... it has nothing to do with you."
Lachlan sighed again.
The next moment, he directly placed the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant and his mother's diary into a mustard seed bag to avoid any further complications.

The reclusive Wood family!
