She didn't reject the idea in her heart. The image of Lachlan holding a long sword and slaying demons would probably be imprinted on her mind for the rest of her life.
But Lachlan's sudden request to meet her parents made Stephanie feel a bit uneasy.
"Too fast?"
Lachlan was stunned for a moment, looking at Stephanie's blushing face, he suddenly guessed what she was thinking.
Uh... Did this girl misunderstand something?
"I just want to visit your home and meet your family," Lachlan explained his purpose.
Stephanie looked so much like his mother Aliya, with the same surname, that Lachlan suspected there might be some connection between them. Perhaps meeting other members of the Wynter family could help him solve his doubts.
However, after hearing what he said, Stephanie's face turned even redder as she stuttered and nodded, "Okay... I'll go back and tell my family."
Lachlan frowned and waved his hand, "Hey, you misunderstood me. I just want to visit as a guest. Do you understand?"
"Oh."
Stephanie looked at him strangely and nodded without knowing if she understood what Lachlan meant or not.
Lachlan smiled wryly.
After finishing their meal in an unusual atmosphere, Stephanie took the initiative to exchange contact information with Lachlan, asking him to inform her in advance when he planned to visit so that she could prepare her family.
As soon as Lachlan separated from Stephanie and got into the car to return to Edoland, he received a call from Miranda.
"Lachlan, when are you coming back?"
In the phone call, the voice of the goddess president was as cold and pleasant as always. It seemed to carry a strong sense of concern and longing, like a young wife eagerly awaiting her husband's return.
Lachlan had already informed Miranda about rescuing Nora from Wicked Bone's clutches, so she was not worried about Nora but instead asked when Lachlan could come back.
Hearing this familiar voice, Lachlan's heart stirred.
Was this really the Miranda controlled by the evil spirit?
"I'm coming back right away. I should be home by tonight."
"Honey, do you miss me? Hehe..."
Lachlan asked with a smile.
"Go to hell! Who misses you? Humph!"
Miranda scolded in a coquettish tone upon hearing his words.
The next moment, her tone changed. "Then come back, I'll be waiting for you."
"Mhm!"
Lachlan agreed.
After a few more exchanges, they hung up the phone.
Lachlan pondered for a long time, then communicated with the Dragon Ancestor's Soul through his mind. "Dragon Ancestor, are you there?"
After a moment, the deep voice sounded, "What's the matter?"
"Are you... sure that my wife is being controlled by an evil spirit? The current her is not herself?"
Lachlan asked very seriously.
