When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 454: The Call from the Evil Mother-in-Law

The toothbrushes were just replaced a couple of days ago, surely they don’t need to be changed again?

"Nanny Warren." As she stepped out, Nanny Warren was sweeping the fallen leaves. She looked up at the sound and softly called, "Madam."

"The toothbrushes? Weren’t they just replaced?" Eliza Hayes didn’t think too much about it, she simply said, "The toothbrushes we procured this time are quite good."

"The toothbrushes are missing?" Nanny Warren countered. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Eliza Hayes was momentarily taken aback, "You didn’t know?"

Nanny Warren shook her head, "I didn’t take them, nor did I replace them. If they’re missing, I’ll get you new ones in a bit."

But the sensitive and suspicious Eliza Hayes had a bad premonition. She seriously thought about it; today Adrian Lancaster and Faye Turner were back.

Thus, she quickly stepped forward two steps to ask Nanny Warren, "Who came in today? Adrian Lancaster? Or Faye Turner?"

Nanny Warren, hearing the unusual tone, turned her gaze to meet Eliza’s eyes. She couldn’t help but remember the detail of Miss Turner picking up fallen leaves and going into the bathroom, which made her heart skip a beat.

It’s a toothbrush that’s missing, not anything else.

"Speak up! Which one of them came?" Eliza Hayes stepped forward two more steps, anxiously asking, "Did Faye Turner come in?"

Nanny Warren’s mind was a bit foggy; she quickly came back to her senses, nodded, "Miss Turner went into the bathroom to wash her hands."

At these words, as if struck by thunder on a clear day, Eliza Hayes’s face turned dark!

Why would she take the toothbrush?

And Nanny Warren again remembered the detail of Miss Turner plucking her white hairs, making her heart heavy with worry!

"She wants a paternity test?" Eliza Hayes couldn’t comprehend it, not angry but laughing instead, "What? I’m not good to Adrian Lancaster, so she suspects he’s not biologically mine?"

Nanny Warren tightly clutched the broom standing next to a pile of fallen leaves, silent.

Eliza Hayes was laughing on the surface, laughing indifferently, laughing sarcastically, but inside she felt unprecedented despair.

She laughed again twice, with a grudge, turning around and entering the prayer room!

Nanny Warren watched the back, not knowing how long such days would continue. She only wanted to stay out of worldly affairs and quietly sweep the leaves.

However... it was becoming increasingly unsettled.

Maybe, after the storm, there will be true peace?

Recently, the relationship between Nanny Warren and Eliza Hayes had become somewhat estranged, because Eliza wasn’t listening to advice, and Nanny Warren’s conscience was still alive.

At night, when Adrian Lancaster went to take a shower, Faye Turner was sitting alone leaning against the headboard, feeling a bit disheartened and lost in thought...

What exactly could make a mother hate her biological son like that?

Did she dislike him since childhood?

Even though this son is outstanding, a god admired by everyone, a legend in the business world.

She gently cradled her slightly swollen belly, understanding the behavior was beyond her grasp as she was about to become a mother herself.

No matter how she guessed, she just felt her head was about to explode!

At this moment, the phone on the nightstand rang, the ringtone startled her, she withdrew her thoughts, hurriedly grabbed the phone to look, it was a call from Eliza Hayes...

Holding the phone, she silenced it, stared at the incoming call, feeling a little apprehensive.

She called, did she find the toothbrush missing...?

She looked up towards the bathroom; the sound of rushing water was still audible. Adrian had just gone in not long ago.

Faye Turner happened to have a belly full of questions, since the facade was torn apart, she got up from bed, put on shoes, and went to the study room next door.

After locking the door, she slid her finger over the answer button—

Faye Turner placed the phone gently against her ear, held her breath, and listened without speaking.

Eliza Hayes was silent for a few seconds too, finally taking the initiative to speak, "Faye Turner." Her voice was frighteningly cold.

She only called the name, stopping short of continuing.

Clearly, Eliza Hayes first wanted to confirm who was on the other end of the phone.

Faye Turner softly said, "Go ahead, it’s just me." She seemed very calm, not afraid at all.

"So? Are you satisfied with the results?" Eliza Hayes’s voice was somewhat cold and quite displeased, as this girl was involved in too many things!

"..." Faye Turner deliberately kept silent, waiting for the other to say something more.
