When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 462: Breaking the Ice in the Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law Relationship
But, there is no remedy for regret in this world.
Yet compared to this, what Eliza Hayes regrets most at this moment, perhaps, is that she punished the wrong person and hurt her own child with Caleb?
Thinking of Adrian, her emotions started to unravel, "Adrian, I’m sorry, Mom is sorry... Adrian." The weight of her emotions made her burst into tears.
Nanny Warren sat beside her, hugging her shoulder with sympathy, tears in her eyes, not knowing how to comfort her.
Faye Turner’s eyelids ached, feeling sorry for Adrian.
Having learned the whole story, she was unable to calm down, like a thousand-pound rock pressed on her chest, making even breathing difficult.
Two minutes passed... the grief in the room spread endlessly.
Eliza Hayes was heartbroken, and Faye Turner watched her, deeply moved.
Finally, the daughter-in-law, with tears in her eyes, slowly stood up and walked towards her mother-in-law...
She sat down on Eliza’s other side, slowly lifted her delicate hand, gently placed it on her shoulder, then softly called, "Mom..."
Hearing this "Mom," Eliza struggled to regain her composure, trying hard to control her emotions.
Slowly turning her gaze, she looked at her daughter-in-law with teary eyes, "Faye..." and suddenly gripped her hand tightly.
Faye’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat.
Facing her mother-in-law’s tear-filled eyes up close, Faye never imagined that the day they broke the ice would come so quickly.
Eliza, through tears, pleaded with her, "Faye, I only have one wish now, and that is for Adrian to forgive me... Faye, can you help me?"
Of course, Faye was willing to help, but the situation was very difficult.
Firstly, Adrian Lancaster didn’t know this secret.
And to tell him this secret would undoubtedly be the most cruel, because even Faye, who married into the family as an outsider, couldn’t accept it.
So Faye didn’t respond right away, just gently reached out to hug her, and Eliza also hugged her back, then couldn’t help sobbing.
Nanny Warren, sitting beside them, was so moved by the scene that she kept wiping her tears.
On the way back to the company, Faye’s mind felt blank, as she leaned dazedly against the car window, somewhat despondently gazing at the scenery outside.
She couldn’t come to terms with the fact.
Where is Mr. Caleb Lancaster?
Is he still alive?
This was what Faye desperately wanted to know at the moment.
To get the answer, she must earn Victor Peterson’s trust, must heal him first, must reach his heart.
Being tortured for so many years, yet refusing to tell the truth, shows he is very stubborn.
In the old house’s backyard, in a room on the locked second floor —
Eliza Hayes held a yellowed photo album, curled up alone in the corner, silently flipping through it.
Tears trickled down drop by drop, splashing onto the photos and then blurring on Caleb Lancaster’s young face.
Over the years, she missed him dearly.
She felt extremely sad inside... all the buried memories surged forth, and she felt deeply remorseful—how could she treat Adrian like this?
He is Caleb’s child...
For 20 years, she loathed Adrian intensely, never giving him a kind look.
Never looked at him directly, even if he called her "Mom," if grandpa wasn’t around, she wouldn’t respond.
She hated Victor Peterson so much that she also hated her son, thinking he had dirty blood in him.
This child yearned for maternal love, while she always rejected him...
Until Faye appeared, Adrian defended his wife against his mother, he no longer wanted maternal love, had no hope nor desire for it.
Eliza Hayes’ heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife, bleeding out loud!
Outside the door, Nanny Warren worried about her emotional state, fearing she may break down to the point of suicide?
Knowing the door was locked, she could only gently press her ear to the door, unable to hear any movements inside, filled with concern.
At this time, in the Prestige Group, president’s office.
Adrian Lancaster had just finished a meeting, picked up his phone, and dialed a number, "Bea, any news?"
"President Lancaster, I was just about to report to you." Why call again? The subordinate was urged by the president for the first time.
"This matter is too important, tell me." Adrian Lancaster awaited eagerly.
