Chapter 179 Nora, Follow Me
Lachlan's face was still as he watched Nora move closer to Claudia. He hesitated for a moment butultimately didn't stop her. Stopping Nora from interacting with Claudia now would only make thingsworse.
"Nora, sweetie! Do you miss mommy?" Claudia held out her arms and asked.
Suddenly, a flower pot came hurtling down from above! Judging by its speed and trajectory, it waslikely to hit Nora.
Lachlan's expression changed immediately as he moved to protect his daughter. But surprisingly,Claudia reacted even faster than Lachlan did. She rushed towards Nora and held the child in herarms for protection.
With a whooshing sound, the flower pot narrowly missed hitting Claudia on the head. She closedher eyes at that moment, struggling internally before finally gritting her teeth and not moving. Sheknew it was just an empty flower pot!
If it had hit her head she might have suffered some cuts or bruises at worst or maybe even mildconcussion but there would be no life-threatening danger.
Watching what happened next made Lachlan's pupils shrink slightly: just before the flowerpot couldhit Claudia on the head, he struck out with his hand and smashed it into pieces that rained down allover both of them.
But fortunately there were no injuries beyond minor cuts from broken pottery shards scattered allover their clothes!
"Nora! Are you okay?" Claudia blinked rapidly then turned to look at Nora anxiously while holdingonto her tightly in case something else fell down unexpectedly again.
The little girl looked up with tears in her big eyes as she shooked her head slowly while staring atthe broken pieces of pottery scattered around them, "Nora is fine... Mommy are you hurt?"
"Good! As long as you're okay then mommy can handle anything!" replied Claudia hugging Noratightly like any loving mother would do when they feel their child is threatened or scared.
Nora let out a wail and started to cry. She was so moved that she was sobbing uncontrollably.
The shadow that Claudia had left on her last time seemed to have vanished in an instant.
At this point Lachlan furrowed his brow deeply without realizing that someone had secretly recordedthis "heartwarming scene".
In the photo taken later on, Lachlan stood beside them watching silently while Claudia hugged littleNora close like they were mother-and-daughter reunited after years apart...
"Lachlan! I knew you couldn't bear to see me get hurt!"
"I knew it, you still have me in your heart..."
At this moment, Claudia let go of Nora and stood up with a moved expression.
"You're thinking too much."novelbin
"Nora, come with me!"
Lachlan shook his head expressionlessly and picked up Nora in the next second, walking away inbig strides! He didn't know what tricks Claudia was playing or whether she was really blocking the
flowerpot for Nora or acting with someone else's cooperation. In his heart, Lachlan couldn't believethat a selfish woman like her could suddenly become so great.
But he didn't matter. Nora had already been moved by Claudia and recognized her as her motheragain. This was something Lachlan didn't want to see! He couldn't let Nora have any more contactwith Claudia!
"Lachlan, how can you bear it?" Behind him came Claudia's unwilling and sad cry.
"Mom... wahhh... mom!"
"Dad, can I stay with mom for a while longer? Dad..."
Nora cried out reluctantly while being held by Lachlan. She even stretched out her little handtowards Claudia's direction.
Lachlan frowned deeply and looked extremely ugly. Without saying anything more he quickened hispace.
In the black-tinted Cadillac car Kayden looked at these photos sent to his phone screen with atriumphant smile on his face. At this time, his phone rang.
"Mr. Austin!" Kayden quickly answered respectfully.
"Have you taken care of Lachlan yet?" Isa asked coldly.
Kayden panicked at these words, "Not yet."
"Waste! Waste! Didn't you get that Suppressing Talisman last time? Why haven't you killed that guyyet?" Isa scolded fiercely.
"Mr. Austin…I'm not sure if that Suppressing Talisman is real or fake! What if it's fake…"
Kayden said bitterly although he confirmed from Graham family members' mouths that there wereenergy fluctuations on the Suppressing Talisman; he even asked Summer about it.
"But I'm still not sure if it really works or not; I need more time to confirm its effectiveness."
"You waste!" Isa said angrily, "If you can't take care of Lachen before tonight then be ready for yourfuneral!"
Kayden became even more frightened when he heard this because he knew Isa wasn't jokingaround; if he failed to complete the task, then he would be facing life-threatening danger.
Kayden was a coward at heart, so he didn't dare to gamble. "You go to hell! Useless! I suspect nowthat you swallowed the 50 million from me and never actually bought the item," Isa gritted her teethand asked.
Hearing this, Kayden shuddered and quickly explained, "I wouldn't dare! Mr. Austin, even if yougave me a hundred guts, I still wouldn't do it! I... I was just thinking that killing Willis might be tooeasy for him. As they say, kill the heart before killing the person. Wouldn't it be more clever to letthat guy taste what it's like to lose everything before dying in bitterness and pain? It would relieveour anger."
Isa interrupted him with a grunt of impatience, "Enough talk - what's your plan?"
Kayden then reported his plan to Isa.
After listening carefully, Isa sneered a few times, "Good! If we can make Miranda completelydisappointed in him or even disgusted by him before killing him off - that would be best! Otherwise ifI get Miranda later on but she still has another man in her heart... it'll be like having a fishbone stuckin my throat!"
He continued sternly, "You better handle this well because there will be great rewards for success."
"Yes sir! Thank you Mr. Austin!" Kayden nodded repeatedly through his phone.
As soon as he hung up the phone call with Isa, someone suddenly knocked on his car window fromoutside. Kayden looked out of the window only to see Claudia standing there waiting for an answer.
"Kayden, how did my mission go?" Claudia asked excitedly as she got into his car.
"Not bad! Not bad! Hahaha..." Kayden replied while patting Claudia's thigh directly with one hand.
"You played such an amazing role as mother today; radiating endless maternal love brilliance!People always say great mothers are beautiful; now seeing it firsthand is truly amazing! Hehehe..."
With an evil grin on his face, Kayden kept touching her leg without restraint while Claudia blushedslightly but eventually pulled away from him saying, "Hey, you're annoying me, Kayden. Stop doingthis..."
"What? Why? You've already had child; you're not some innocent girl anymore. What are youpretending for?" Kayden frowned unhappily at her words.
Lachlan's ex-wife had a seductive aura that made Kayden feel uneasy. Claudia's face lookedunnatural as she playfully said, "No way! Isn't this all about breaking up Lachlan and the Lowefamily heiress? What if something happens between us and I happen to seduce Lachlan while hesmells another man on me? That would ruin everything, wouldn't it?"
"That useless waste of space used to care so much about what scent was on my body. Heremembered it like a dog," Claudia continued.
Kayden hesitated for a moment before snorting in response and dropping the subject.
