When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 106: Mrs. Lancaster Unlocks a New Skill
When Adrian Lancaster went to take a shower, Faye Turner began preparing the medicine.
She ground the herbs into a fine powder and mixed them with white sesame oil to create a thin paste, making sure to wear sterile gloves.
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and after a while, the man emerged, wrapped in a bathrobe.
Faye held the bowl of medicine, sitting in the chair by the window, looking up to meet his gaze, watching him walk towards her.
No matter how many times she saw that face, it always made her take another glance.
A face like a god, elegant and handsome!
His tall, sturdy physique was firm and hardy, and those eyes were as deep as the ink-black night. Only she had seen him wearing a bathrobe.
It was a kind of special masculine charm.
After Adrian Lancaster sat down, Faye got up and came to him, starting to apply the medicine for him, even though the wounds had healed and would not cause any pain.
But she bent down, wide-eyed, always cautious, as if afraid of hurting him.
Adrian Lancaster looked up, gazing at her from a close distance.
Under the bright lights, the girl’s skin was fairer than snow, with strands of unkempt hair falling by her ear, a touch of languid and seductive.
Her delicate features became more appealing the longer one looked at them.
In the close proximity, especially that faint, fresh scent on her that he particularly liked.
"What brand of perfume do you use?" the man asked, his thin lips parting slightly.
"Huh?" The girl looked up at him briefly, then quickly focused back on applying the medicine, "I never use perfume."
"Then why do you have a scent on you?"
"It’s the smell of the herbal medicine," the girl confessed, "I occasionally condition my body and use the leftover herbs to make fragrances, to avoid waste."
So that’s how it was—the scent was delightful.
But at this moment, Adrian Lancaster was no longer just captivated by the fragrance she exuded but was surprised by yet another skill she possessed.
This girl could even make her own fragrance?
And her craftsmanship was no less than those renowned perfumers, the scent was better than any perfume available in the market.
"When you got injured, it must have hurt a lot, didn’t it?" Her voice was gentle, much like her actions.
Adrian Lancaster snapped back to reality and gazed at her again.
This kind of concern touched his heart—could she possibly empathize with something that had happened decades ago?
"Even though I don’t know what happened, but..." She suddenly appeared sad, finished applying the medicine, and gently wrapped the area with gauze, worried about causing him pain.
"But what?"
The girl pursed her lips, looking at him with compassion, then after a while she shook her head.
She knew that this man did not love her and would not share those past events.
However, her care made Adrian Lancaster, who grew up lacking warmth due to an incomplete family, lose control a bit. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
He reached out and pulled her into his arms, and before Faye could react, he was unable to resist kissing her lips.
Faye sat on his leg, eyes widened in shock!
He was like a child who had walked alone in darkness for a long time and suddenly saw a glimmer of light.
Faye was somewhat stunned and became very compliant... She matched him, responded to him, and even felt a bit sorry for him.
The next morning.
When Adrian Lancaster got up, Faye also awoke, "Shall I change your medicine once more?"
"Mm." He did not refuse.
The girl reached to pull the nightgown into the blanket, recalling flashes of last night, her face flushed, her movements awkwardly dressed before she got up.
She didn’t plan to go to the company today, casually secured her hair with a clip, and went to get the medicine.
After applying the medicine for him, she watched him leave.
Lying back in bed, trying to sleep a bit more, she could still smell the scent of his body in the blanket.
The girl’s mind involuntarily flashed with some details from last night.
She unknowingly found herself slightly entrapped.
From the first day they met and got the certificate, to when he saved her and took her to the hospital to see her grandfather... All the events over this period played out in her mind.
The conclusion was that Adrian Lancaster was actually quite good, worth entrusting for a lifetime.
She couldn’t fall back asleep, her mind filled with thoughts of him.
Thus, Faye got up to change her clothes, washed her face and brushed her teeth, and went to the kitchen to make herself a bowl of dumplings.
She ate dumplings while opening her phone, instinctively typing ’Adrian Lancaster’ in the search bar, intending to look him up online to learn more about him.
