Chapter 439 Evil Shadow
Between the two little girls, they were both very enthusiastic. Besides greeting each other, they also greeted the adults. However, like Kiera andRowan, when Lachlan saw them, he just nodded slightly.
Lachlan’s behavior when Nora fell ill was a bit hurtful to their relationship. Even though Kiera had asked Lachlan to help her once before as a shield,there was still some resentment in her heart.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
At this moment, Lachlan who originally only wanted to say hello and leave suddenly walked towards them with a serious expression in his eyes.
There was a layer of black mist swirling around Chloe's head which represented an ominous sign of disaster. Of course, ordinary people could notdetect this layer of black mist but because Lachlan had inherited the "Dragon Gaze Heavenward Technique” and mastered the art of geomancy so hediscovered it.
Apart from Chloe, upon closer inspection, Kiera and Rowan also had dark marks on their foreheads. indicating that they might also be in trouble.
Lachlan felt somewhat guilty about the Ward family, especially Chloe, the mischievous little girl. How could he ignore the possibility of somethinghappening to them?
"Chice, did you have fun at the parent-child activity with your aunt? Are you enjoying yourself?” Lachlan walked over with Nora, diverting theconversation toward the children
"Yes, I had fun, Uncle Pigsy..." Chloe nodded with a smile, then stuck her tongue out at Lachlan.
Lachlan was sweating profusely. It seemed that this nickname from Chloe wasn't going away anytime soon. Next, he turned to Kiera and Rowan."Miss Ward, Rowan, what a coincidence, isn't it?"
Kiera raised an eyebrow, looking at Lachlan with some confusion, wondering why he had turned back around after clearly planning to leave with thechild.
Rowan smiled politely and greeted, "Mr. Willis, hello.”"Since we've run into each other, why don't we have lunch together?" Lachlan hesitated and asked Kiera.
Obviously, he couldn't just directly state, "You're likely to encounter some misfortune, especially Chloe, who might be in danger." He would surely bescolded before he could even finish speaking, and they wouldn't believe him anyway. After all, the art of divination was too mystical for ordinarypeople.
So, Lachlan simply invited them to lunch and suggested that they accompany him. preparing to help them avert any disaster.Hearing this, Kiera and Rowan were taken aback.
Kiera looked at Lachlan, then pursed her lips. "Mr. Willis, last time I had to ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend, it was out of necessity. I hope... youdon't take it seriously. There's no need for us to have lunch together, is there?"
Lachlan "ummed" and, looking at Kiera's proud expression, felt a bit overwhelmed.Did she think he had some kind of ulterior motive? Did she think that pretending to be her boyfriend once would mean something?
"Miss Ward, I didn't mean that! Nora and Chloe are getting along well, so why don't we all spend time together? How about going to the amusementpark in the afternoon?" Lachlan suggested.
Based on the dark mist above Chloe's head, he was sure something would happen today, but he wasn't certain what. He felt that if he stayed withthem today, he might be able to avert their misfortune.
However, Kiera couldn't help but laugh and look at Lachlan with a gaze that carried both exasperation and mockery. "Mr. Willis, really? Your methodsof wooing women are truly abysmal! Another trip to the amusement park? Can't you come up with a more original approach?"
After saying this, the Ward family's young miss shot Lachlan a displeased glance and left with Chloe.
As she turned away, a hint of embarrassment colored her cheeks. She remembered clearly the last time they had dinner at the amusement park,when Lachlan had grabbed her hand and even drank the soup she had sipped from.
Even though it was later proven that Lachlan had actually been poisoned through the soup and was using that method to detoxify himself, Kieracouldn't help feeling embarrassed and awkward in front of Lachlan.
Rowan also frowned at Lachlan and said calmly, "Mr. Willis, goodbye."
Lachlan shrugged, feeling helpless. The next moment, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes.
A strand of gentle true energy exuded from him and marked Chloe's body, essentially leaving a sign on her.“Dad, are you trying to pursue Aunt Ward?" Nora, with her head held high and hands on her hips, asked Lachlan
Her small face carried a hint of indignation. “Dad. I'm telling you, I only accept Mommy Miranda as my mother. You mustn't make Mommy Mirandasad."
Lachlan was sweating profusely. Hethought I t@ himself, this little traitorwas already siding with Miranda’soquickly? He silently repeated tohimself, "Don't get angry, don't getangry... she’s my own daughter!"Céntent belongs to NovelDrama.Org
"Nora, what are you thinking? Why would I pursue Aunt Ward?" Lachlan ruffled Nora's hair.
"Why did you invite her to dinner then? Hmph!" Nora questioned
"Because..- Aunt Ward and Chloemight bein danger, and I want ta:help them resolve it. But I can’t tellthem directly, It wouldn't be good ifit seared them," Lachlan hesitatedfora moment before explaining.Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Upon hearing this, Nora widened her eyes, showing a mix of surprise and nervousness.
"Dad, are you telling the truth? Then you should go and fallow them quickly, don't let anything happen to Chloe," Nora urged.
"Well. I will first take you to your uncle's place, and then I'll help them," Lachlan nodded, taking Nora's hand and getting into the car.
At that moment, under the shade of a tree, a figure resembling a shadow stirred. The person had excellent concealment skills, even Lachlan didn'tnotice.
A pair of evil eyes watched as Lachlan drove away. After hesitating for a moment, the figure concealed its form and aura, following the car driven byRowan.
"Unexpectedly, he has the innate Yin Shatter Body!""Excellent! This physique must not be missed! Once I refine this little girl into a Yin Spirit, dealing with Lachlan won't be a problem!""Hawkeye, I will definitely avenge you and make Lachlan suffer a terrible fate! Hehehe...”
Meanwhile, Rowan was driving an SUV towards the Ward Residence. For some reason, Kiera, sitting in the back seat, suddenly shivered, feeling amomentary chill down her spine
"What's wrong, Auntie?” Chloe shook her head, looking at her aunt curiously.
Kiera shrugged off her shiver and smiled dismissively, saying, "Nothing... Maybe the weather is starting to get colder, and I'm not dressed warmlyenough.”
Kiera laughed it off, but deep down, she couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling in her heart.
