“Edoland, Lachlan?”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Edoland, Lachlan!”
The old man in the blood robe gritted his teeth and exuded a terrifyingly violent aura.
“My lord… can you please let me go?” The leader of the Britt family’s men was being strangled by the neck and felt like he couldn’t breathe. He begged in pain and fear.
Meanwhile, the other members of the Britt family who came to deliver the corpse were all trembling under the old man’s intimidating presence, living in constant fear.
“I’ll let you go.” The blood-robed elder’s expression was ferocious and his tone sinister, like a grim reaper seeking souls.
With those words spoken, he crushed the person in his hand into bloody mist!
“Ah!”
“Run away!”
The other members of the Britt family were frightened out of their wits and tried to escape with their lives. However, they only took a few steps before meeting their demise just like their companion earlier, exploding into pieces on spot!
The power of this blood-robed elder was unfathomable; just his terrifying pressure alone caused these people to die instantly!
…
Cara knew her son-in-law and daughter would be coming home tonight so she took leave from her nanny duties specifically to cook for them herself.
“Mom, take it easy! I’ll cook today!” Miranda said with an unusually good mood today as she wanted to show off her cooking skills!
Lachlan raised an eyebrow at Miranda’s words while looking at this stunningly beautiful goddess CEO with anticipation.
To be honest though he had never tasted any food that Miranda cooked before.
Today might be an opportunity for him to indulge himself? Meanwhile, Emmanuel, Cara and Mason all looked surprised with wide eyes staring at each other.
“Sis, you can cook too?” Mason asked curiously while Emmanuel and Cara both showed signs of doubt on their faces.
Their little princess never touched anything related to kitchen work before so when did she learn how?
“You guys have such strange looks on your faces? I’ve learned some new tricks lately,” Miranda said feeling annoyed by her parents’ doubtful expressions then snorted confidently as she walked into the kitchen.
“Lachlan, Miranda seems serious about cooking this time huh? Haha…” Emmanuel said meaningfully towards Lachlan.
Cara rolled her eyes. “You little brat, my daughter is learning to cook for you?”
“Brother-in-law, you better not let my sister down!” Mason chimed in.
Lachlan nodded and wiped his sweat. He quickly shook his head. “No way! How could I?”
He knew very well that his goddess wife was learning to cook for him out of love and he felt touched.
Next, Lachlan chatted with Emmanuel and Cara about the specifics of their wedding while watching TV.
Meanwhile, Mason played with Nora beside them. Despite being a grown man, he seemed to be having fun playing with the little girl.
Suddenly, Lachlan’s eyelid twitched inexplicably and he felt a sense of unease creeping up on him like something terrible had locked onto him.
Frowning slightly, Lachlan tried to figure out what was causing this feeling of discomfort when Emmanuel suddenly furrowed his brow and looked towards the kitchen.
Lachlan snapped back into reality only to find himself sweating profusely!
Miranda was busy in the kitchen wearing a small apron that made her look like a beautiful chef – both warm and intoxicating at once – but what was up with all that black smoke coming from there?
“I’ll go check it out!” Cara quickly stood up from her seat and ran towards the kitchen worriedly!
A few minutes later…
The family sat around the dining table as Cara and Miranda brought eight dishes one after another!
Two dishes were burnt beyond recognition!
Lachlan exchanged glances with Emmanuel and Mason before their faces twitched uncontrollably several times over.
Cara coughed awkwardly while looking strange as she said, “Come on everyone! Let’s eat! This is Miranda’s first time cooking since she was young. You’re all lucky today!”
“Honey, if I’m not mistaken, these two dishes are yours, right?” Lachlan wiped off some sweat as he pointed at those two plates full of charcoal-like food asking sheepishly.
“Hmm! Taste it quickly, how is it?”
Miranda’s delicate face still bore a few smudges, and her apron was yet to be untied. After preparing a meal, she turned herself into a little chef.
At this moment, she looked at Lachlan with a hint of anticipation in her beautiful eyes, urging him. There was also a sense of accomplishment between her eyebrows. This was her first time cooking, and Miranda was eager for Lachlan to taste her culinary skills.
At this moment, Lachlan looked at the two dark dishes in front of him and couldn’t bring himself to eat them.
Ahem!
It seemed that beauty and cooking skills were destined not to coexist.
“Come on, Emmanuel, Mason, try it!”
Lachlan had an idea and called out to Emmanuel and Mason.
“Brother-in-law, you go first! You have to be the first man to taste my sister’s cooking. We can’t steal your thunder.”
Mason laughed modestly and said, “I insist.”
“Yes! Everyone knows Miranda learned how to cook just for you. Lachlan, come on and try it!” Emmanuel nodded with a serious expression.
“Erm…” Lachlan was sweating profusely.
“Lachlan! What do you mean? I worked hard on the dishes for you not want to eat it?” At this point, Miranda’s face changed as she stared coldly at Lachlan with a hint of anger in her beautiful eyes. This was her first time cooking for him. What kind of expression was he making? Was he disgusted?
“Eat! How could I not eat it?” Lachlan swallowed his pride like a martyr before finally taking a bite from both plates that had been causing him so much anxiety earlier.
The taste…
Indescribable!
Salty with a strong burnt flavor. He chewed but couldn’t quite swallow…
“Mmm! Delicious! This braised pork is pretty good!” With his eyes closed tight as if savoring every bite he took another mouthful before smiling contentedly when finished speaking.
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he felt like Miranda’s beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent…
“What you just ate was mushrooms! That dish is actually stir-fried chicken with mushrooms!” The goddess CEO gritted her teeth through clenched jaws while glaring fiercely at Lachlan who immediately broke out into cold sweat looking extremely embarrassed by his mistake.
Damn!
He had just complimented something completely different than what he was eating!
Who could have guessed that these mushrooms would be so deceiving?
