When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 547: The Word "Mom" Stuck in His Throat

As soon as they stepped into the living room, Adrian Lancaster and Faye Turner greeted the old man. The repeated calls of "Grandpa" were particularly affectionate, raising the warmth of the home instantly.

The old man was delighted to see them, "It’s good to have you back, come, come, sit down!"

Especially when he saw Faye’s increasingly rounded belly, the old man couldn’t stop smiling and started asking all sorts of questions, "Is the little one causing any trouble in there? How have you been feeling lately? Eating well? Sleeping well?"

"Quite well, thank you for your concern, Grandpa!" Faye responded happily to him, "Just finished a prenatal check, everything’s normal."

The old man was overjoyed, as if he could already see his great-grandchild circling his legs, sweetly calling him great-grandfather.

"Grandpa, how have you been feeling lately?" Faye noticed he looked well, "Is your sleep okay?"

"After taking the herbal medicine you prescribed, Grandpa feels great!" The old man spoke with such vigor!

Hearing this, both Faye and Adrian Lancaster felt quite relieved.

At this moment, Eliza Hayes and Nanny Warren also appeared in the living room. The young couple turned their heads at the sound, and everyone’s eyes converged.

Nanny Warren greeted them, "Hello, young master, hello, madam."

"Mom, Nanny Warren," Faye’s voice was sweet, and she wore a smile as she stood beside Adrian Lancaster.

The smile on Adrian Lancaster’s face slightly faded when he looked at his mother, his expression somewhat cold.

Eliza Hayes’s gaze, filled with countless thoughts, was fixed intently on her son’s face, as if ignoring everything around her.

And Adrian met her gaze.

He didn’t greet her actively; Faye glanced at him several times, but he didn’t respond.

It was Eliza who snapped back to reality, looked at her son, then at her daughter-in-law, her face full of smiles, "Adrian, Faye, back are you? It’s quite cold outside, neither of you caught a cold, I hope?"

For a moment, she couldn’t find any other topic.

Faye shook her head with a smile, "No, no, we’re fine." She then stepped forward, lightly brushing the snowflakes off her shoulder.

Then she held her hand, "Mom, come warm yourself by the fire, your hands are a bit cold."

Adrian snapped back to reality, but the call of "Mom" choked in his throat, the more he wanted to call out, the harder it was to do so.

Indeed, the feeling was quite uncomfortable.

"Faye, Adrian, Mom has gifts for you both."

Eliza Hayes kept wearing a smile, looking at her son, then her daughter-in-law, "Come with me?"

Faye definitely would help her.

So, she let go of her mother-in-law’s hand, ran playfully to Adrian, linking her arm with his, and lifted her eyes mischievously, "Let’s go! I love receiving gifts, it feels like unboxing a surprise!"

Then she dragged him to Eliza Hayes, "Come on, Mom!"

Eliza Hayes was sincerely grateful to this daughter-in-law.

She didn’t look at her son again, because she didn’t want to feel that damned pressure, nor did she want to see his gloomy face.

Just like that, Eliza Hayes and Nanny Warren turned and walked toward the backyard.

Faye followed closely, pulling Adrian Lancaster along.

"Mom, did you go on a trip recently?" Faye asked her, "Are these souvenirs you brought back?" Just to avoid awkwardness, she found a topic.

"No," Eliza answered her.

Entering the Buddhist hall, Adrian Lancaster looked at the statue of the deity, at those scriptures, feeling really complicated inside.

He revered these things.

But Eliza Hayes’s behavior was downright hilarious; could one redeem themselves like this? In all these years, was there a single day she didn’t chant scriptures?

Faye pulled him, following the mother-in-law upstairs, while Nanny Warren stayed behind in the Buddhist hall, not going up.

Because she knew, soon enough, the madam would find an excuse to go downstairs first.
