When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 184: Hope Rekindled

He knew that although these two had a child, there was no emotional foundation. Truly falling in love with someone was not easy.

Faye Turner came out, Adrian Lancaster was walking ahead. She faced the slightly cool evening breeze, watching his back and feeling the sense of distance while following behind.

Just walking after him like this, Faye didn’t know how to get closer; the scene she saw upstairs earlier flashed in her mind once more.

There was always a bad feeling that this mansion hid some secrets, which is why Mrs. Lancaster’s personality was so peculiar.

Why didn’t even his mother care for her own son?

Adrian Lancaster stopped in his tracks, and Faye, who was lost in thought, almost bumped into him. She halted, took a couple of steps back, and suddenly pulled her thoughts back.

Adrian Lancaster turned to ask her, "What did Grandpa give you?"

The girl took out an emerald from her pocket, spreading her palm out in front of him.

Adrian Lancaster glanced at it, not intending to take it from her, and simply said, "It seems Grandpa really likes you. Don’t let him down."

After speaking, he turned and continued walking forward.

Faye hurried up to his side and glanced at him, asking, "Is there some meaning to this? I saw there were many treasures in there, all surely worth a fortune, right?"

"This emerald was something Grandpa bid for in France when I was eight years old, costing him three hundred million."

The man said it casually, making the girl beside him feel quite shocked!

Three hundred million???

"Ha, don’t feel pressured." He walked forward with his hands in his pockets, speaking to her, "Since Grandpa gave it to you, he must have found joy in sharing."

Faye walked beside him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Happiness is priceless." Adrian Lancaster took a deep breath, "Grandpa’s happiness is more important than anything." As for himself, whether he was happy or not didn’t matter anymore.

Adrian Lancaster faced the evening wind, gazing at the sparse stars around the moon, reminding himself of that night on campus a few years back...

He walked shoulder to shoulder with Sienna, beneath a bright full moon, and that night’s moonlight truly looked like snow.

They didn’t exchange words... but that happiness, that heart-fluttering feeling, would never come again in this lifetime.

Although they never even held hands, the wind that night in the memory was sweet.

Sometimes, he really missed those days.

If only he had told her then, that he could provide her a life free from worry about basic needs, maybe she wouldn’t have left him?

But Adrian Lancaster was always reticent and didn’t like to explain.

The scene Faye saw tonight flashed in her mind again, and she looked at him several times, wanting to probe gently.

But it always seemed like he was lost in thought...

Faye didn’t disturb him, thinking that he probably didn’t want to say more to her?

The hot topic of their marriage was still trending, leading to various speculations from the outside world, but no matter how capable the journalists were, they couldn’t uncover the timeline of their relationship.

Thus, the outside world grew even more curious, with a plethora of comments pouring out in the comment section.

At night, in a certain café.

Melanie Lancaster sat across from Serena Sutton, the atmosphere was somewhat sullen.

"Didn’t sleep well?" The middle-aged woman looked over the young girl, "Why do you look so haggard?"

"He’s married; how can I not be haggard?"

Serena Sutton puffed up angrily and held the middle-aged woman’s hand, "Aunt! Didn’t you say I could become the young mistress of the Lancaster Family? How did he end up getting married?!"

Melanie Lancaster pulled her hand back with an awkward smile, "How would I know? He’s not my son after all, he didn’t need to consult me about his marriage."

"And you didn’t know about him having a girlfriend either?" Serena Sutton’s mood was a mess, her delicate brows furrowed tightly, "You wouldn’t have found out from the news, would you?"

"Serena, what have you found out these days? I told you, there must be some undisclosed secret about this marriage," Melanie Lancaster picked up her coffee cup, changing the subject with a much gentler tone, "Nowadays, there’s no shortage of divorces. You’re still young, why fear?"

This made Serena Sutton catch the implied meaning, and the once dimmed eyes now glimmered with a glint of hope.
