Miracle Doctor Daddy

As soon as Adam spoke, Claudia and Maisie looked at Tom with questioning eyes. They saw him as a rich son-in-law and wondered why he had reacted so quickly to remind Reeva not to be fooled by Lachlan.

Tom felt guilty because he knew he was just as calculating. He brought Claudia and her family here today just to impress them with the villa. He knew they were all vain and wanted to show off.

If it weren’t for Lachlan, Tom could have easily convinced them that they didn’t need such an expensive villa. But now, after being stimulated by Lachlan’s words, Claudia’s family was not so easily fooled.

The saleswoman showed them around all afternoon but did not give in to Tom’s demands or show any respect for his status as a wealthy second-generation heir. Tom felt like he had been outsmarted and embarrassed himself.

“What stringing along? Let’s go back home and think about which one we want, then come back another day!” Tom said with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

As soon as the words fell, the saleswoman sneered, “Why don’t you put down a deposit first, sir? Then tell me which one you’re interested in and I’ll reserve it for you.”

Tom’s face immediately darkened at her words. “Didn’t I say we need to think about it?” he replied.

“Pfft! I bet you can’t even afford it! You poor people come here pretending to be something you’re not just to make yourselves feel good,” the saleswoman said disdainfully.

Claudia was instantly furious upon hearing this, while Maisie and Adam felt their faces flush with embarrassment. They were all very concerned about their image and being mocked like this made them want to crawl into a hole.

“Tom! Are you just trying to placate me today? Lachlan can afford to live here, why can’t we? I don’t care what anyone says; we have to buy today! You’re worse than that poor guy!” Claudia yelled in frustration before finally starting a tantrum.

“Smack!”

As the words fell, there was a loud slap.

Tom, with a large palm, fiercely struck Claudia’s face.

Unable to contain his anger any longer, he exclaimed, “Claudia, what the hell are you yelling about here? Aren’t you just a secondhand item? Being able to be with me is your good fortune. Do you still want many? If you can make it, fine; if not, then get lost! Don’t you even look in the mirror before you talk!”

Claudia stumbled from the blow and was left in a daze, holding her face while looking at Tom.

Maisie quickly supported her daughter and angrily questioned, “How could you… how could you hit Claudia?”

“Tom, what did you say? Who did you call second-hand item? Claudia is so beautiful, and yet you don’t know how to cherish her!” Adam was trembling with anger as he pointed at Tom.

Upon hearing this, Tom spat out a curse word and turned around to leave. “What a bunch of idiots,” he muttered under his breath.

The saleswoman stood there with her arms crossed, enjoying the spectacle of this family’s drama. They had been here all afternoon trying to sell a house but hadn’t made any progress. At least she could watch the show and get some entertainment out of it.

Claudia covered her face in embarrassment but couldn’t stop crying on the ground. She looked towards Block A through tear-filled eyes.

Maisie and Adam tried to comfort their daughter while also glancing in that direction. Who would have thought that the poor guy they looked down upon had managed to live in such a big villa?

And yet their so-called rich son-in-law only knew how to bully others before running away after hitting their daughter. If Claudia hadn’t divorced Lachlan, would they be living in that big villa too?

…

Lachlan had no idea about the commotion behind Claudia’s family or simply didn’t care if he did know about it. He shrugged it off with a smile when he left Emerald Green Estates since it was time for him to go anyway.

First, Lachlan took Reeva back to the Ward family’s house, then went to pick up Nora from kindergarten.

Miranda worked hard and wouldn’t leave the company until before 6 pm. During this time, he took the little girl back to their old rental house.

He packed some things that he couldn’t bear to throw away into the car and waited to take them to their new home.

“Daddy, are we moving?” Nora looked at Lachlan with a sweet voice.

She blinked her big eyes and looked at this rental house. She seemed a little reluctant because even though it was rundown, it was still home for her.

“Yes, I am taking you to live in a big house. It’s much better than here.” Lachlan picked up Nora and said indulgently.

Nora nodded, “Okay!”

As she spoke, she opened her small hands tightly around Lachlan’s neck, “Daddy, Mommy doesn’t want me anymore. I know that. Only you’re left for me now. I love you no matter where we are.”

Although only five years old, Nora had experienced divorce between her parents and illness which made her more mature than other children of her age; she understood everything very well in fact.

Claudia’s abandonment made the little girl feel insecure so she often said that only Daddy was left for her now.

Children have no concept of how big or small a house is; all they care about is being together with their loved ones.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Lachlan could feel Nora’s emotions and it made him ache with sympathy. Yes, there were so many things in the world of adults, but for Nora, he was practically her whole world.

“I love you too! I will always be here with you, okay?” Lachlan sniffled as he held little Nora tightly.

Nora released her grip on Lachlan’s neck and giggled. “Mmhmm! I love you more!”

“Who said that? It’s obviously I love you more.” Lachlan playfully rubbed his nose against hers.

Nora pouted but spoke earnestly while holding up her hands. “Hmph, it’s obviously that I love you more! You didn’t even love me for the first twenty years of your life before I came along. But I loved you since the day I was born so that means I love you more!”

Hearing this melted Lachlan’s heart as a father. He couldn’t help but hold his little girl tighter as tears welled up in his eyes. Baby girl, daddy can’t love you longer but I can always love you more!

After packing everything up he headed to pick up Miranda from work together with little Nora.

“Auntie hello!” When Miranda got into the car, little hands waved from behind rolled down windows and greeted her excitedly.

“Nora, you’re such a good girl,” Miranda said, smiling softly.

There’s a saying that goes “love me, love my dog.” Because she had already developed some feelings for Lachlan, Miranda found herself liking Nora even more.

But when she got into the car and saw Lachlan again, the beautiful CEO let out a huff of annoyance. It seemed like she was still angry about what had happened that morning.

Lachlan was at a loss as to why this woman was so upset. Even though Miranda’s angry expression was quite charming in its own way, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

And then suddenly, Miranda wrinkled her nose and her stunning face took on an expression of suspicion. Her eyes locked onto Lachlan’s gaze.

“Has another woman sat in this car?”
