When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 677: Adrian’s Methods of Protecting His Wife
Adrian Lancaster ignored her, his gentle gaze falling on his wife, "Faye, I’ve made an appointment with Dr. Peterson. Are you free for a prenatal check-up this afternoon?"
"Sure," she replied sweetly.
In order to protect herself, Melanie Lancaster felt she needed to leave here as soon as possible to avoid any trouble.
So she turned around gracefully, smiling, "Adrian, could you help Aunt book a flight to the Netherlands?"
Adrian Lancaster helped his wife sit on the sofa and then turned his gaze to the woman at the door, "Didn’t Aunt just return? Why are you leaving so soon?"
"The company is also quite busy, and besides, with you here, my brother will definitely recover soon. I just came to see him, and I did."
"Alright." Of course, Adrian Lancaster wouldn’t keep her.
He was indeed afraid of her, this kind of woman who schemes in the shadows, just like her son.
Thus, he immediately took out his phone and booked her a ticket.
"Book it for tomorrow," Melanie told him.
"It’s already booked," he said, sending the ticket information to her phone, "Aunt, please check the flight information on your WeChat."
"Thank you." Melanie almost spat blood when she saw the information on WeChat!
It’s for today! And the flight is about to take off!
"There’s only one hour?" Melanie looked at him.
"Yes, it was hard to snag a ticket," Adrian Lancaster said lightly.
Facing her nephew’s gaze, the woman forced a smile, "Will I make it in time?"
"You’ll make it; I’ll have someone take you to the airport, no need to be so polite." Adrian Lancaster’s smile was cold and insincere.
Then he instructed his subordinate, "Take Miss Lancaster to the airport!"
"Yes, boss."
Even though Melanie felt uncomfortable, this was practically an eviction order!
Soon, Adrian Lancaster’s subordinate respectfully saluted her, "Miss Lancaster, please."
Melanie looked again at the couple on the sofa, who were engrossed in a book, talking about something sweetly, completely ignoring her.
Even though she felt very uncomfortable, she turned and left.
Now she could only hope that Faye would be more forgiving and wouldn’t tell Adrian Lancaster about the incident that "never happened."
Whether this wish would come true or not was uncertain.
After all, to hide something from others, one must first hide it themselves.
After Melanie left, Adrian Lancaster took the book from his wife’s hand, closed it, and placed it on the coffee table.
He grasped her hand, frowning slightly, "Faye, I’m worried about you."
Meeting his gaze, Faye understood where his worry was coming from.
He wasn’t just worried about her, but also the baby in her womb.
Honestly, Faye had also broken into a cold sweat earlier on the stairs.
"Did she do anything to you?"
Adrian Lancaster was, of course, worried, "Brandon Lancaster’s judgment has just come out. It must be hard for her to bear; her son will serve six years in prison."
Faye nodded, speaking lightly, "She actually did something."
However, when Adrian Lancaster pursued what actions, Faye directly resorted to surveillance, checking the video recordings here.
She retrieved the footage to show him.
This surveillance was installed when Black Hawk was living here, considering he was a top danger figure.
When Adrian Lancaster saw the high-definition footage of Melanie on the stairs, reaching out to push his wife’s back, his handsome face tensed up, his fist clenching, veins bulging, and a glint of something sinister flashing in his eyes!
Faye didn’t say much either, as everything he needed to see was right in front of him.
The next morning, in the Netherlands.
Having spent a whole night anxious and sleepless, Melanie Lancaster had not received any warning calls from Adrian Lancaster.
She thought to herself, perhaps this matter has passed?
After all, it did not cause any impact on Faye. That girl couldn’t be that narrow-minded.
But, but, Faye is not the type to indulge anyone; talking about forgiveness with bad people is asking for trouble.
She simply wouldn’t!
That day, Melanie went to the company and had just started a morning meeting when her phone rang. It was her subordinate, and she answered with curiosity, "What’s the matter? Speak."
"Melanie, Brandon had another four years added to his sentence; he’ll now serve ten years in prison." The other party reported in a regretful, panicking manner, "I just got the news, and I wanted to tell you right away."
(I recommend another book by the author; search on Tomato for "Wynn Summers," titled "I Just Escaped a Marriage and Was Globally Wanted." The male lead is Duke, and the female lead is Iris Yates. 1 million words, already completed.)
