Chapter 224 Shocked Caelan

"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 lylonio after completing this mission, but Lachlan was in ahurry to return home. He had already booked a flight from lylonio to Kreanford at 7 pm tonight.

"Mr. Willis, are you going back to Edoland now? Why not stay in lylonio 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 lylonio. 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 lylonio 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 thismoment.

"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.

"Oh..." Miranda replied nonchalantly but there was clearly a hint of joy in her eyes. Although it had only been two days since he left, she felt like it had been ages and had been feeling uneasy all this time. The thought of himcoming back soon made her feel relieved.

Miranda then handed the phone over to Nora who chatted with Lachlan for a while before reluctantly hanging up after learning that her dad would be back soon.

Miranda played with Nora for another hour before leaving Emerald Green Estates and being picked up by her brother's men. However, as soon as she got back to the villa in Imperial View Villa Area, she received Sarah's call.Seeing the caller ID made Miranda frown instinctively and feel some resentment towards her former best friend whom she was thoroughly disappointed in after their last meeting.

After hesitating for a moment though, she still answered, "Sarah?"

"Miranda! Let's go out for dinner tonight? Let's catch up!" Sarah said enthusiastically on the phone.

“No thanks, I've already eaten dinner! Is there anything else?" Miranda refused politely but firmly.

"Miranda... I know what I did was wrong last time when I targeted your husband... I'm sorry... we've been friends for so many years now... you're not really thinking about ending our friendship are you? Can't we just go out fordinner so that I can apologize properly?" Sarah pleaded softly on the phone with some coquetry added into it too.

"Well... there really isn't any need for that! Why don't we do it during daytime instead? It's already nighttime now and going out doesn't sound very appealing,” Miranda replied awkwardly upon hearing Sarah beg like this.Sarah pleaded softly and gently, leveraging their years of friendship, making Miranda a bit hesitant. However, considering it was nighttime, she wasn't very eager to go out. Of course, the main reason was that Lachlan wasn'taround, and Miranda didn't feel very secure without him.

"Miranda, why are you so heartless? Last time was just a small disagreement, you're not that petty, are you? I just want to invite you out for dinner and catch up. We haven't seen each other in years and I've been thinking aboutyou. Do you remember in high school when you had your period at night in the dorms and I climbed over the wall to buy you some pads but got punished for it? And in college when those thugs were bothering you, I helpedscare them off. And..." Sarah complained with a hint of sadness.

"Okay okay Sarah! Can't I go out now?" Miranda bit her lip as she listened to Sarah bring up old memories that touched her heart. She finally agreed.

"Yes! Miranda, you're so sweet! Mwah!" Sarah exclaimed happily.

"So we'll meet at Farmhouse Restaurant then?" Sarah said excitedly.

"Huh? That far away?" Miranda frowned upon hearing that it was located on the outskirts of town and specialized in private home-style dishes.

"Oh come on, their food is amazing! Plus, since coming back from abroad recently, I've been obsessed with this kind of rustic flavor!" Sarah said without hesitation before hanging up the phone.

Miranda shook her head helplessly and went out by car while on another side...

Caelan was talking to an old friend who lived in lylonio over the phone. As soon as he answered it his expression changed constantly - sometimes shocked or amazed or clapping his hands...

Being able to become friends with Caelan meant that this person's identity was not ordinary either. The news he revealed to Caelan wasn't ordinary either, "Caelan aren't you also in Edoland? This Lachlan guy is also fromEdoland; have you met him?"

Caelan chuckled smugly, “What do mean “have I met him'? Let me tell ya’, Lachlan and I go way back! But who would have thought he could defeat four grandmasters all by himself... He deserves every bit of honor as GrandMarshal!"

After chatting for a few more minutes, Caelan hung up the phone still looking surprised.

"Grandpa what happened?"

Reeva blinked curiously next to him after hearing fragments of conversation related to that guy Lachlan...
