When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 238: Mid-Autumn Reunion Night, Mr. Lancaster Makes His Entrance
The in-laws chased to the door, not caring about their daughter-in-law holding the child being shoved.
They saw their son exhausted to the point of collapse, and their faces were full of heartache!
They thought he had been out socializing, working even during a holiday, which was indeed hard on him.
Soon, the mother-in-law took June from Rachel Sherman’s arms and urged her, "Hurry up and reheat the food! Your father-in-law and I are hungry!"
Rachel didn’t want to say much; she just wanted life to be a little more peaceful, so she went to reheat the food.
During the meal, the mother-in-law wore a long face and scolded her indirectly—
"Dylan is now the pillar of this family, you should try to understand him more. In today’s workplace, the work pressure is very high, going to a holiday while getting drunk like this."
Rachel was holding the child with one hand and chopsticks with the other; she only listened without responding.
"Rachel! The elder is talking to you!" The mother-in-law, distressed for her son, vented her anger on the daughter-in-law, "Are you deaf?"
Only then did Rachel look up and calmly said, "Mom, I’ve also found a job now. Although I am still in the probation period and the salary is not high, it’s more than enough to support June."
"What do you mean by that? You’re just planning to raise a child?" The mother-in-law continued to scold, "Are you not going to care about the mortgage and car loan? What about the other household expenses?"
Rachel didn’t mention her decision to divorce, after all, her job wasn’t stable yet.
She had to be fully assured of obtaining custody before making a formal proposal, catching the other party off guard.
Dylan Shaw’s infidelity was unknown to his parents.
At night, at The Lockwood Old Manor.
Several cars were parked in the large courtyard, including Adrian Lancaster’s Lamborghini, Melanie Lancaster’s car, and Brandon Lancaster’s car.
Yes, this mother and son had also returned. After all, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was a ritual to visit the elders.
The dinner was particularly sumptuous and exquisite, a rare gathering for everyone.
The old man thought Melanie Lancaster and Faye Turner had not met, so he solemnly began introductions.
Faye Turner also called out, "Aunt," treating it as if it was their first meeting.
The relationships among these people were quite delicate.
So, while it seemed like a reunion, something always felt missing, and during the meal, Caleb Lancaster was not present.
"How is my brother doing lately?" Melanie Lancaster asked Eliza Hayes, "Is his health improving?"
Eliza Hayes looked at her gently, "Still the same as before."
"Has he not been seen by a doctor in recent years?" she asked again, "With the rapid development in medical science over the recent years, there might be hope."
Eliza Hayes replied calmly, "Your brother’s condition is unique. The fact that he has been hanging on for so many years is already a miracle."
"I want to see him." Melanie Lancaster asked, "Can it be arranged?"
These words made Faye Turner ponder, in this family, is it not easy for anyone to see Mr. Lancaster?
Does everyone need Mrs. Lancaster to make prior arrangements?
Is his health so fragile that it requires full disinfection just to catch a glimpse? What kind of illness must that be?
Her curiosity was piqued.
Eliza Hayes responded softly, "Your brother will be coming down in a while, and you will naturally be able to see him."
Faye Turner didn’t speak. She turned her gaze to Adrian Lancaster, who happened to be looking at her too.
The incense burned during the Mid-Autumn Festival was mostly made by paper artistry stores.
The one that Grandpa Lancaster purchased was a custom piece, square-shaped, broad at the top and narrow at the bottom, resembling a pagoda, standing at a full two meters high, valued in the six figures.
This incense stood in the courtyard.
The surroundings were covered with silk cloth, with intricately watermarked woodcut paintings of "The Tang Emperor’s Moon Palace Visit" and "Xue Li Admiring the Moon."
The base also had a moon palace archway made of gold paper, with gold dragons coiled around the columns.
Seasonal couplets adorned the scene, with the horizontal inscription reading "Fragrant Osmanthus Scents," the splendid moon palace archway looked magnificent, embraced by colorful flags.
On the table next to it, various offerings were meticulously arranged.
The bright, full moon hung high in the sky like a large jade plate, emitting a silvery-white glow.
The night’s breeze was slightly cool, mixed with the scent of osmanthus, wafting in waves.
Just now, seeing that it was about time, the old man asked Eliza Hayes to go upstairs to bring down her son, Caleb Lancaster.
