When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 719: Blocking Her at Midnight

She couldn’t help but overthink; that pretty actress was so intimate with him—was she his girlfriend?

The scene they suddenly ran into outside the bathroom frequently popped into her mind, lingering and leaving her distracted.

Don’t indulge in wishful thinking, Rachel!

Time and again, she firmly told herself not to rely on someone just because they showed her a little kindness.

This isn’t love at all!

It’s just a wounded woman, meeting a glimmer of light during her weakest moment, and this light might illuminate a path not belonging to her.

As Rachel shook her head, trying to dispel those fragments from her mind, a man entered her view. She halted, standing in the courtyard downstairs.

Under the night sky, Dylan stood there alone, simply staring at her, as if he was waiting for her.

Rachel quickly snapped back to reality and turned to walk toward the bus stop.

Dylan hurriedly chased after her!

He didn’t rashly grab her on the street like before, forcing her and causing a scene.

After these months, he finally acknowledged a fact—he was divorced and legally no longer family with her.

"Rachel." Dylan followed beside her, glancing over as he spoke, "Don’t walk so fast. I drove here; let me take you home? Let’s talk!"

"No need, I have nothing to say to you!" Rachel was unwilling to accept Chase but also wanted no entanglements with Dylan.

"Rachel, no matter what, I am June’s father, and my presence is irreplaceable on her path of growth. You have no right to refuse me on her behalf!"

Dylan wasn’t agitated; he just followed closely beside her, continually persuading —

"If she grows up in a fatherless family, how can you be sure she won’t blame you later?"

Upon hearing this, Rachel became furious, stopped abruptly, and turned to look at him—

"Do you have any decency? If June grows up and learns that her father is a man unfaithful to marriage and irresponsible, do you think she would thank me for the early divorce?"

Dylan was momentarily speechless!

She warned, "Stop following me! I want nothing to do with you!"

"Rachel, to know the wrong and to change is the greatest virtue! Which saint in history hasn’t erred? Please, for the sake of June, give me another chance?"

Just as Dylan stopped Rachel and started vehemently entangling again,

a Volvo pulled over by the roadside, and Chase Fletcher’s raven eyes landed on this scene as the window rolled down.

He instinctively unbuckled his seatbelt, got out, and walked straight toward Dylan, grabbing his collar and pulling him away from Rachel.

Dylan, caught off guard, staggered several steps before regaining his footing.

"You again?!" Dylan, recognizing him, instantly flared with rage.

Rachel was also stunned, turning to gaze at him—the handsome side profile, the dark, smooth hair—it all left her stupefied, overwhelmed by a sense of security.

"Why do you just love meddling in others’ business?" Dylan knew fully well that fighting would land him in jail, yet he couldn’t suppress his inner fury.

Chase decisively answered Dylan —

"This isn’t someone else’s business; this is my girlfriend’s business." As he spoke, he pulled Rachel into his embrace, his gaze at Dylan filled with greater determination.

The words "girlfriend" startled Rachel, her eyes wide with disbelief.

At this moment, Dylan was baffled, girlfriend?

Were they together already?

This... how could this be possible?

Yet Chase gave him no time to process, wrapping his arm around Rachel’s shoulder and swiftly leading her toward the car parked not far away.
