Chapter 181: Chapter 181: The Mother-in-Law Is Too Cold and Heartless

Faye Turner gave Nanny Warren a slight smile.

Then she turned her gaze back to the figure of Eliza Hayes, who was standing beside Adrian Lancaster, next to her mother.

"Mom." Adrian Lancaster spoke softly, his handsome face calm, though his emotions were complex.

"Mother." Faye’s voice was gentle.

Eliza Hayes remained indifferent.

Nanny Warren, feeling awkward, stepped aside and left the prayer room.

Faye had anticipated her attitude, but as a junior, she maintained a respectful mindset and spoke softly, "Mother, the reason we came today is to share some good news with you."

She took Adrian Lancaster’s arm, a blissful smile on her face, "Adrian and I are having a baby, you’re going to be a grandmother."

As expected, Eliza Hayes’s reaction was as Adrian Lancaster had predicted; the news seemed irrelevant to her, stirring no emotions within.

Faye was not embarrassed; she was prepared for this outcome.

Moreover, she was a true optimist, always wearing a smile, "I’m not sure if you’ll be happy, but as your junior, such significant news must be shared with you; you shouldn’t be the last to know."

She still didn’t speak, her eyes closed, seemingly murmuring something to herself.

Adrian Lancaster remained calm; he had nothing to say, seemingly accustomed to this attitude.

Yet, at this moment, he pondered whether Faye could help treat his father’s illness.

After all, she really did know medicine.

"Let’s go, Adrian." Faye said with a smile, her voice small, "Let’s not disturb mother."

Then she took Adrian Lancaster and began to head out, and Eliza Hayes made no effort to stop them.

Having said it, the burden in her heart was lifted. Being transparent is also fine, at least there’s no conflict between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law.

But this Friday was destined to be different than usual.

The dinner was as lavish as always, with Eliza Hayes being the last to enter the dining room, still aloof and distant.

The only difference was the addition of a prenatal nutritional meal, which Grandpa specifically asked the chef to prepare for Faye.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

"Good child, eat more." Grandpa spooned some soup for her, truly caring for her, "You have to consume enough nutrients for two people now, don’t restrict your diet for the sake of your figure."

"Don’t worry, Grandpa, I won’t." Faye was a sweet girl, "I will eat wholeheartedly, striving for a chubby, healthy baby boy!"

Her words amused Grandpa, who hadn’t been this happy for a long time, a perpetual smile on his face, his spirits seemingly returning to what they were ten years ago.

After dinner, Old Master Lancaster took Faye’s hand, "Faye, you and Adrian should stay over tonight!"

Faye was slightly taken aback and turned her eyes to Adrian Lancaster.

Before Adrian Lancaster could express any thoughts, Grandpa addressed him, "Adrian, it’s been a long time since you stayed here overnight; you must stay tonight."

Eliza Hayes, who had been expressionless and indifferent throughout, showed a flash of tension in her eyes upon hearing this.

Nanny Warren noticed her expression on her face too.

"Grandpa..." Faye said with a smile.

"Girl, you can’t refuse Grandpa!" Old Master Lancaster pretended to be displeased, "Since getting married, you haven’t stayed here, and now that you even have a child, staying a night would put my mind at ease. This is also your home!"

With Grandpa’s words, a kind girl naturally couldn’t refuse.

As for Adrian Lancaster, he had no particular thoughts about staying overnight; he could stay, or not.

But Eliza Hayes, she was extremely resistant inside!

Yet she couldn’t drive them away!

After all, Faye, this girl, is still an outsider, yet she seems clever and capable, enough to earn Grandpa’s admiration and affection, meaning she’s not foolish.

And the longer Faye stayed at the old house, that was certainly not a good thing!
