Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 298

Lorna and Sanderson exchanged a worried glance. Sanderson, his face a mask of fury, was just about to storm into the room when Lorna quickly grabbed his hand, shooting him a look that said, "Do you really want to barge in on the kids right now? Think of how awkward that would be." Sanderson, still seething, hissed, "Then what do we do?"

Lorna furrowed her brows, signaling for patience, "Leave it to me."

She coughed deliberately outside the door, hoping to alert the kids inside without startling them too much.

Ideally, upon hearing the cough, the kids would pause whatever they were up to, right?

Sure enough, they heard Everard's muffled voice from inside, "Dude, your parents are back, and I was only halfway through."

Cordelia, a hint of urgency in her voice, whispered back, "Hurry up, then."

Everard took a sharp breath, "Alright, I'm going all in..."

Cordelia cut him off, "Don't move! Back up a little!"

Lorna and Sanderson were dumbfounded.

Was the situation inside not what they feared, and Lia was the one taking the lead? And Everard felt pressured?

Even so, they couldn't just let Lia go on like this!

Lorna coughed again, louder this time, ready to add a few more coughs as a clearer signal, but Sanderson had already kicked the door open, roaring, "Everard, you beast! I'm going to kill-"

He froze mid-sentence.

Because there, in the middle of the room, was Everard sitting in a chair, holding up a molecular model, while Cordelia was intently studying another, a chemical molecule model. Everard's model was fitting into Cordelia's model, demonstrating a chemical reaction.

Both kids looked up, stunned by the sudden intrusion. Everard, confusion written all over his face, asked, "Uncle, what's going on?"

Sanderson's anger fizzled out, replaced by embarrassment, "I...uh, thought you were doing what? A science project?"

Everard nodded, "Yeah."
