When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 267: Applying Pressure with Grandpa?

"Mm."

Still maintaining the same attitude and tone as before, Adrian Lancaster held the steering wheel with one hand, casually resting the other on the car window, his gaze unwaveringly fixed ahead.

He saw it, but he didn’t respond!

Moreover, he intentionally used this indifferent and aloof attitude at this moment!

"Adrian, this job is really important for Rachel Sherman; it concerns her fight for June’s custody." Faye Turner’s voice was soft, aware she was being excessive, "Could you... consider it?"

"Do you think this matter needs considering?"

Adrian Lancaster turned his eyes, quickly glancing at her, "Now, every time there’s trending news, it involves your emotional dramas."

She heard his disdain and disgust.

She disagreed, "That’s because you come with a lot of attention naturally, okay? What’s it got to do with me? You marrying anyone would make trending news, but me marrying someone definitely wouldn’t, so why blame me?"

The little girl was upset?

Adrian Lancaster turned his gaze, "Is this the tone of negotiation with me?"

With his reminder, the situation seemed to have some room for maneuver, and Faye Turner immediately realized the mistake.

"I’m sorry, I just... it’s my lapse, no excuses, I was wrong, so about Rachel’s issue, could you..."

"No." He firmly refused again.

One reason was he never accepted interviews; another was he couldn’t let her forget her position.

Thinking she could negotiate terms with him.

This side of Adrian Lancaster made Faye Turner feel unfamiliar again, completely different from the Adrian Lancaster who ate skewers with her and wandered baby stores last night.

Just when Faye Turner was deflated and silent, Adrian Lancaster’s thin lips lightly parted, "Don’t resent me, Rachel’s hardships aren’t caused by me; it’s Dylan Shaw."

"You make a good point, but..."

"..."

The car fell into a silent hush.

Faye Turner leaned back into the seat, not knowing how to tell Rachel Sherman about this, while Rachel was still waiting for her answer.

Soon, the Lamborghini began slowing down, stopping in the vast courtyard of The Lockwood Old Manor.

The ancient architecture, thousand-year-old camphor trees, as the wind blew, the air carried the scent of osmanthus flowers.

The two entered the villa’s living room, and after the grandfather learned the purpose of the visit, he praised Faye Turner for her filial piety, "Such a good child, why don’t you stay for dinner?"

Not waiting for the young people to answer, he hurriedly notified the kitchen to add a few more dishes, and also to prepare early pregnancy nutrition soup for his granddaughter-in-law.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

"No need to be polite! Come, come, let’s go to the backyard!" Grandpa accompanied them, stepping forward with his cane.

From afar, Nanny Warren saw Faye Turner and noticed the bag in her hand, feeling unsure about persuading the lady.

But the old man was here too... this might work.

Eliza Hayes heard footsteps and slowly turned her gaze; upon seeing them, her expression darkened, not knowing the purpose of the visit, yet she definitely didn’t want to meet!

"Mom, Nanny Warren."

Both Adrian Lancaster and Faye Turner greeted her that way.

Due to the old man being present, Eliza Hayes did not show anything towards Faye Turner, her demeanor remained consistently aloof.

"Mom, I noticed you don’t look well, so I brought you some herbal medicine to help with sleep; would you try it?" Faye Turner’s eyes held a sincere light, and she respectfully handed over the medicine bag.

Bringing the old man to pressure her?

Eliza Hayes restrained her inner anger! She didn’t speak, nor did she refuse.

At this moment, Grandpa spoke, "Faye also means well, the medicine is certainly fine, this child knows medicine, Eliza, I’ve noticed your complexion isn’t great lately; you could try it, adjust your health, letting her prescribe the herbs was my idea."

Grandpa told a little lie.

Beside them, Nanny Warren looked at her, then cautiously reached out to take it.

Faye Turner felt happy but didn’t show it, "Then we won’t disturb you, see you at dinner." Afraid of offending her.

After speaking, she proactively took Adrian Lancaster’s arm, "Shall we go?" And then turned with him, stepping away.
