When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 716: I Have Sought Little in Life

For Caleb Lancaster, his son and family are absolutely the most important.

But due to his own absence, and that man with ill intentions replacing him, his son has endured countless grievances over the past twenty years.

It’s been some time since returning to The Lancaster Family, and Caleb has heard about certain things related to the family, such as the relationship between mother and son.

Therefore, Caleb feels deeply guilty towards his son, and he wants to use the rest of his life to atone, whether by helping him raise his children or manage the company, lending him a hand.

Under the moonlight, in the courtyard, large patches of unknown flowers are blooming, swaying with the evening breeze. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Caleb stopped his steps, turned to look at his grown son, handsome and charming, mature and reserved.

Meeting his father’s gaze, Adrian Lancaster also halted, the father and son locked eyes for the first time for a long while.

"I’m sorry, Adrian."

From the heart, the father apologized to his son—

"Had it not been for my departure, your childhood would not have been so unfortunate, nor would your mother have developed psychological issues."

Adrian felt a slight shock in his heart, did his father know?

However, the past is behind, and he now possesses much, living a happy life. So towards his father, Adrian only felt gratitude and not blame.

Reaching out to embrace his father, this was Adrian’s response.

Caleb, moved in his heart, raised his hand to encircle his son’s tall frame, this hug was significant, dissolving everything between them, bringing them closer.

In the courtyard, father and son strolled and opened up their hearts, chatting about work, about the children...

In the brightly lit living room, Faye Turner was accompanying the old man in a game of chess.

Grandfather placed a chess piece, continuing the previous topic—

"Therefore, we should never invest unrealistic expectations in matters we hold dear."

Just like Melanie, she was raised with care, originally hoped to become Adrian’s right-hand.

Faye nodded, attentively listening to the elder’s teachings.

The old man lifted his Earl Grey Tea for a sip and said, "We always rely on law to solve problems, but law is never omnipotent; it’s only a last resort."

Forced by circumstances.

Faye could hear, grandfather’s heart was troubled.

But Melanie’s end was entirely due to her own insatiable greed, and grandfather wasn’t without giving her chances.

"Granddad." Faye looked up at the elderly man sitting opposite her, expressing concern, "You must take care of your health, take your medicine on time."

"Alright." Looking at his beloved granddaughter-in-law, the old man lifted the corners of his lips into a smile to reassure her, "Next time if it’s convenient, bring Joy over?"

"Yes, yes, I was planning on doing that."

Night, gets deeper.

After Adrian Lancaster left with Faye, Caleb went upstairs to visit Eliza Hayes, then walked into the room next door and locked the door.

Standing by the window, he gazed at the deep night outside, took a handwritten letter from his pocket.

Even after twenty years without seeing her, he recognized the handwriting on the envelope at a glance, it was written by Claire Keller.

With a heavy heart, his fingers trembled as he opened the letter—

Hello, Caleb, I’m Claire, meeting through words.

I have asked for very little in this life; in my youth, I only wished to stay by your side.

Therefore, twenty years ago I made a selfish decision, taking you away from Eliza’s side, without considering your family’s feelings, nor did I ask if you were willing, I’m really sorry...
