When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 715: Father and Son in Deep Conversation

Caleb Lancaster had a feeling his son would bring up the letter ever since he suggested taking a walk.

His daughter-in-law’s efficiency took him by surprise.

She mentioned it in the morning, and by evening it had been handed over.

He had kept it in his possession for some time, always intending not to give it...?

What did his daughter-in-law say to Adrian?

How did he suddenly agree to hand it over? And willingly at that.

Caleb Lancaster stood beside his son, their heights about the same.

In the silver moonlight, amidst the warm yellow street lamps, the father just stared at the letter offered before him.

He didn’t rush to accept it.

At this moment, facing the son he had neglected for twenty years, his heart was a mix of emotions, indescribable.

Adrian Lancaster looked composed, holding the letter silently, his dark, smooth hair swayed gently in the warm evening breeze.

After a while, Caleb finally reached out both hands and carefully accepted the neatly folded letter, "Thank you."

He didn’t immediately open it, but continued to walk forward, his pace slow.

Adrian followed alongside his father; father and son enjoying the beautiful night, where spring flowers bloom fully and the moon is round and bright.

The sound of the thousand-year-old camphor tree rustling in the wind filled their ears.

"You’ve met her, can you describe her to me?" Despite not seeing her for twenty years, her voice was so familiar.

Claire undoubtedly must look very old after caring for him for twenty years, right?

Does she have wrinkles on her face? Grey hair? Signs of age and hardship? She must look worn compared to others her age?

Twenty years of unwavering care and companionship, no one would be unmoved by that.

And so Caleb’s feelings towards Claire Keller were complex, constantly torn between morality and justice.

"Intellectual, elegant, simple." These were the objective terms Adrian Lancaster could come up with.

Intellectual grace, characteristics ingrained in Claire Keller.

And simplicity...

It’s due to caring for Caleb Lancaster for twenty years, exhausting all her savings, and not seeking employment; it was indeed poverty.

The middle-aged man sighed deeply, "Adrian, beside you, there must be excellent girls admiring you too?"

"No." Adrian Lancaster replied without a second thought.

Those two brief words had a noticeably cold edge as they reached Caleb’s ears.

As they walked, he turned his gaze to his son’s profile, momentarily at a loss for words.

After some thought, he explained to his son, "My relationship with her isn’t what you imagine; she’s not a mistress, nor my lover."

The mention of this topic made the atmosphere a bit heavy.

No matter her role, the love that woman had for his father was real.

The fact that she stole twenty years from his father and shattered this family is an undeniable fact.

Therefore, no matter the role she plays or the identity she bears, it won’t erase her actions and the harm she caused to The Lancaster Family.

Adrian Lancaster would not easily forgive, even though he doesn’t hold her accountable or send her to prison.

"Adrian, I’m sorry..." Caleb Lancaster knew, whatever he said was too late, it all seemed powerless.

"The person you owe the most apology to is my mom." Adrian Lancaster candidly said, "She loves you far more than you realize."

Throughout the unfair treatment he suffered for twenty years and his unfortunate childhood, Adrian Lancaster never mentioned.

But Caleb knew, with Victor Peterson’s presence, regardless of circumstances, Eliza Vance had physical intimacy with that man.

While his relationship with Claire was at most, a spiritual connection.

Indeed, in marriage, whether physical or spiritual infidelity is involved, for the other partner, it is a heavy blow; none is lighter than the other; both are betrayals.

And Adrian Lancaster, would absolutely not allow such a tragedy to happen to himself, so he timely sent Ivy Jennings away.
