When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 418: Reunion After a Long Separation
"It’s a bit messy in here, and the room is small, be careful not to damage your clothes." Chloe Gable always felt that his visit here was a bit condescending.
Adrian Lancaster felt quite uncomfortable facing her cautious and polite demeanor.
"Mom, I came in a hurry and grabbed some things from the mall as I passed by; take a look and see if there’s anything missing at home. When you have time, make a list for me, and I’ll get everything for you!" He deliberately called her "Mom" to try to close the distance.
"No need, no need, thank you." The middle-aged woman turned on the light. Despite being broad daylight, the lighting wasn’t great, mainly because the room was small and cluttered with many things. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Adrian Lancaster put down the bags in his hand and looked earnestly at the back that was pouring water, "Mom, did you watch the news today?"
Chloe Gable’s fingers trembled, unsure of his intentions. Was he trying to get her to accept her fate as a mother? Not stand up for her daughter?
Or was it because Faye wasn’t speaking to him, and he came over to seek help?
But she quickly regained her composure and blinked hastily, "Yes, I watched it." Then she handed him a cup of warm water, "There’s no beverage at home."
"It’s fine, fine, water is just as good, don’t worry, have a seat, let’s chat for a bit." Adrian Lancaster wasn’t bothered; he drank half the glass in one gulp and sat down on a stool behind him, holding the cup.
"Mom, actually, the media likes to fabricate stories, the facts aren’t what you saw."
Adrian Lancaster briefly explained today’s news to her, "Of course, similar things absolutely won’t happen again in the future."
This attitude was quite good.
Chloe Gable was also relieved; she nodded but still didn’t fully understand his purpose for coming today.
Adrian Lancaster looked at the face in front of him, which seemed familiar, and he suddenly felt a burst of joy, "Mom, take a good look at me, and then think hard, have we... met somewhere before?"
And there he was, just gazing at her, his memories overlapping with those from kindergarten.
As a kindergarten teacher, Chloe Gable had taught countless children; how could she remember?
Moreover, children don’t look much like they did when they grow up.
So, Chloe Gable first looked puzzled, then seriously recalled, and finally shook her head, "I... have we met?"
No impression at all.
Adrian Lancaster met her gaze and confidently answered, "Yes, we have met."
"Wher...where did we meet?" She couldn’t remember at all, and stood somewhat helplessly across from him.
How could she have met President Lancaster?
If it weren’t for Faye Turner, a man like him could probably only be seen on TV.
Adrian Lancaster gazed at the suddenly remembered face, overlapping with distant memories in his mind. The teacher still looked so good, although with a few more traces of time.
Adrian Lancaster raised his hand, gently holding hers, which startled her even more, leaving her at a loss.
Their gazes met.
The curve at the corner of his lips was beautiful, as he excitedly whispered, "Teacher Gable."
The middle-aged woman was slightly stunned, a glimmer of surprise flashing in her eyes, "..."
Was he her student?
So, she tried hard to recall... Yuchuan, was there a boy named Adrian Lancaster?
The more she thought about it, the more she seemed to have some impression, but it was long ago and fuzzy.
She wasn’t very sure because there were just too many children she had taught.
"Did you ever teach at Sunbeam Kindergarten?" Adrian Lancaster deeply gazed at her, eyes filled with the joy of long-lost reunion and expectation.
Until Chloe Gable nodded, and nodded again, "Yes."
She saw the man’s smile deepen, his face filled with happiness.
"Teacher Gable, is your daughter’s name Shane?" Adrian Lancaster could feel his heart visibly trembling when he asked this question.
He was excited, nervous, expectant...
(I recommend another of my books, search for Wynn Summers on Tomato. The book’s name is "I Just Escaped a Marriage, and Now I’m Globally Wanted," it’s already completed with an ending. You can read it if you have time. Also, this book is asking for a five-star review, and I’ll update more.)
