When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 459: The Past

Faye Turner answered truthfully, "It’s grandpa and Adrian."

"And the result?"

"He is indeed the biological grandson. You are Adrian’s mother, but Mr. Lancaster is not his father, so who is his father?" Faye Turner held such a big secret, yet she remained very calm.

"No." Eliza Hayes’s lips curled into a bitter and sorrowful smile, her voice trembling as gently as her heart, "Caleb is Adrian’s father."

As these few words left her lips, her heart fiercely clenched! The pain was so evident.

"Caleb is... Adrian’s father." Her expression seemed as if even she had not anticipated it.

As Faye Turner heard this, her brows slightly furrowed, yet she still looked at her intently, clearly not understanding the meaning behind her words.

"But the paternity test clearly showed he wasn’t."

Eliza Hayes, however, smiled slightly, her eyes welling up with tears, as she completely let down her defenses before Faye Turner.

"Daughter-in-law, today I’ll tell you a story. That year when I was eighteen, Caleb was my first love. We fell in love at first sight..." Mentioning the past, a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Many beautiful images played in her mind, like a film.

Faye Turner looked at her, politely refraining from interrupting, listening very attentively.

"We got into the same university, studying the same major. The family backgrounds were very different, but grandpa was very open-minded and never looked down on me. He treated me like his own daughter, just like... he really likes you now."

"After graduation, we smoothly got married and lived a life of bliss that everyone envied. However, during the process of trying for a child, things were difficult. For two or three years, I couldn’t get pregnant."

"We saw doctors, and I took a lot of medication. During that time, I was extremely depressed, and because of work, Caleb hired a female secretary, which only increased my stress..."

"You know, being the CEO of Prestige Group means being constantly in the public eye."

"So, the media always focused on Caleb’s rumored affairs with the female secretary, along with all kinds of paparazzi shots and random reports."

"For a while, they frequently made headlines, but actually, I was well aware there was nothing between them. Caleb loved me very much, I could feel it."

"But as a woman, a woman who couldn’t conceive, every time I saw online comments, media hype, and gossip among friends and family, I was still very upset and would argue with him."

"And with his busy work, he also felt I was being unreasonable, and he didn’t have much time to deal with me, so, in my depression, I went to a bar with my girlfriends for the first time..."

That was the beginning of the nightmare. The smile on Eliza Hayes’s face vanished. Even now, recalling it filled her with regret. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Her and Caleb’s destiny took a massive turn starting from that day.

From her expression, Faye Turner also sensed that what she was about to say next was crucial, potentially involving a long-hidden major secret of The Lancaster Family.

"At the bar, I met a man named Victor Peterson, who looked strikingly similar to Caleb. One time after drinking, I confided in him about my inner woes, and then... something that shouldn’t have happened, happened."

Upon hearing this, Faye Turner’s heart sank heavily, so was the man in the wheelchair Victor Peterson?

"Because of what happened, he started blackmailing me. Actually, from the very start, approaching me, he knew my identity and also knew his resemblance to Caleb..."

"Fearing Caleb might find out, and being young at the time, I gave him some money, but didn’t imagine..." her eyes showed resentment.
