When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 541: President Lancaster Hasn’t Been Idle
At this moment, in the ancient and quaint Lockwood Old Manor, the camphor tree branches were already covered with snow.
Eliza Hayes was dressed lightly because the house was heated. She sat in the sofa chair by the window, gazing somewhat blankly at the snowy scene outside the window.
She didn’t know if Adrian would see it; she truly had no confidence.
Was the letter delivered by Peterson?
As a mother full of repentance, her heart was always anxious. Writing this letter herself and sending it out into the snow took all her courage.
After all, these past 20 years, she had always been high and mighty in front of Adrian Lancaster.
If Adrian received the letter and knew it was from her, would he even care to read it?
Or, given his temper, would he just tear it up and throw it away?
Eliza Hayes’s thoughts wandered as she clutched tightly at her heart and indulged in wild imaginations.
"Madam." Nanny Warren knocked and entered, holding a bag as she approached her. "The yarn you wanted, is this the color?"
She came back to reality, got up and took the bag from Nanny Warren’s hands, took out the variegated yarn inside, and held it up to the light for a look.
She smiled, quite satisfied, "Yes, yes, this is the color I wanted. I remember Adrian had an article of clothing in this color when he was little, he really liked it, wore it to school often."
This is probably her only childhood memory of her son.
"But... do you know how to knit a scarf?" Nanny Warren expressed skepticism.
Eliza Hayes said to her, "Nothing is born learned; as long as you want to knit, you can learn." She had already bookmarked several videos.
Seeing the knowing smile on her face, Nanny Warren understood that madam would not miss any chance to make it up to Adrian.
Even if Adrian didn’t accept it, she would still proceed with hope.
Writing this letter of repentance had exhausted two books of stationery and taken her three days and nights.
In the coming days, Eliza Hayes found a new task to do, which was to knit couple scarves for her son and daughter-in-law.
Once the scarves were done, she would deliver them personally, then observe to find out whether Adrian had read the letter.
These days, Adrian Lancaster held the photos taken with Faye Turner at Gale Peterson Family and, based on the information his subordinates had found, had never met him but gained some understanding of his father’s old friend.
He drove by himself to their residence.
Everyone was an old friend who had a good relationship with his father, and there had been quite a few photos taken together in the past.
He visited in the manner of a junior, bringing valuable gifts to show his sincerity.
When he saw some older elders, around seventy or eighty years old, without their children around, Adrian Lancaster would be particularly considerate, helping to prune the potted plants and loosen the soil in the yard...
In this way, he played the emotional card, which brought their relationship closer; he not only gradually got closer to the truth of the car accident but also slowly understood his father.
On the day the snow stopped, he arrived at a small villa and met with an elderly person.
"Adrian, you and Caleb really look alike." The elderly person made a cup of tea and came to the yard, "How is your father? There’s been no news of him from the outside world for years; we only know he’s still alive."
"Thank you for your concern; he is recovering." Adrian Lancaster left the elderly person with a back view, seriously loosening the soil for their potted plants. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
He still lied to the outside world because family scandals should not be publicized, and Victor Peterson’s existence would not be known to anyone.
The elderly person said, "If there’s a chance, let me know when it’s convenient, and I’ll go see him?"
Adrian Lancaster’s action of loosening the soil did not stop, and he tactfully refused with high emotional intelligence.
The elderly person did not insist either, after all, he had heard that Caleb Lancaster had become a vegetative state directly after the car accident.
"Grandpa Sloan." Adrian Lancaster put down the shovel, washed his hands, and then took the cup from the elderly person’s hands with both hands. "Thank you, thank you."
"Do you know how to play chess?"
"A little." Adrian Lancaster said gently, very modestly.
"Wanna play a game with me?"
"Sure."
The elderly person had lived alone for long, so seeing a young person come by and be willing to play chess with him instantly made him cheerful.
The elderly person had been out of touch with worldly matters for years; he knew the Prestige Group had transferred from the old man to Caleb’s son.
But he had never paid attention to this young man, and after seeing him today, he was deeply attracted by his humility and just went online to check; this young man seemed quite capable.
"Grandpa Sloan, do you know Elias Young?"
Adrian Lancaster, while playing chess, seized the opportunity to bring up today’s topic and reminded, "Elias Young from Apex Group."
