When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 720: Developing Feelings for Each Other

In order to get rid of Dylan Shaw, Rachel Sherman cooperated in the act and got into Chase Fletcher’s car. A gust of wind blew in, and once again she caught a whiff of his distinct scent.

As soon as Rachel sat in the passenger seat, Chase leaned in to personally help her fasten her seatbelt.

The scent of male hormones hit her abruptly, and Rachel instinctively spread her hands, her body pressed tightly against the seatback, instantly holding her breath.

His body was so close to hers, so very close...

Rachel felt her whole body stiffen, the blood in her veins warming, and her heart pounding wildly.

Soon, after helping her with the seatbelt, Chase circled around the car and got into the driver’s seat. Before she could react, he drove off.

"Rachel! Have you already found a new father for my daughter?!" Dylan Shaw yelled at the car in rage.

The Volvo sped away!

The car was relatively quiet, and Rachel slowly turned her gaze, watching him focus on driving, the atmosphere a bit awkward.

It had been some time since they last met, and she even dreamt of him last night.

Chase had both hands on the wheel, looking ahead into the night, sensing her gaze, and drove in the direction of her home.

"The girl who was with me at President Lancaster’s daughter’s full moon banquet is my sister, Kylie Fletcher."

His voluntary explanation surprised the woman a little. Why was he explaining? Was he afraid she might misunderstand?

But the content of the explanation surprised her even more.

That actress was actually his sister?

Suddenly, Rachel felt a lot better, "Oh." She softly replied with one word, not knowing what else to say.

After a while, the man turned to her, "Does Dylan Shaw still bother you recently?"

"No, he hasn’t been like that for a long time," Rachel lowered her eyes, answering truthfully, then turned to him, "Thank you for tonight."

Chase asked her, "About what I asked you to consider, have you made up your mind?"

Rachel couldn’t feign ignorance; she understood what he meant.

The most terrifying thing was, she seemed to... have a liking for him as well.

Without getting a response, Chase suddenly hit the brakes and parked the car by the roadside.

Startling Rachel, her eyes filled with caution.

He turned to her, looking very serious, "I said I want to get out of singlehood, would you be my girlfriend?"

"Is this the topic every time we meet?" Rachel feigned calmness, but her heart was pounding hard, "Can’t we change it up?"

"Until I get a definite answer, there’s no changing the topic." Chase’s gaze was gentle; he was happy to have run into her tonight.

Rachel also decided to face her own heart, so she asked him, "Alright, I’ll ask you, do you know what love is?"

"What do you want to say? Go ahead, I’m listening." He looked into her eyes, as if stars were shining in them.

Rachel didn’t have the courage to think deeply; she merely stated a fact, "Love is about developing feelings for each other’s strengths, while marriage is about living with each other’s flaws daily. I’m a woman whose marriage failed; are you really sure about this?"

"As for me, Chase Fletcher, in whatever I do, I only believe in the first impression."

He also said, "The failure in your marriage isn’t your fault. Even if you had issues, it just proves you weren’t suitable for him; maybe you’d be suitable with me?"

"You said it yourself, it’s just a ’maybe.’" As a journalist, Rachel’s thinking was also very clear, "There are always two possibilities to every situation. I was just hurt in a relationship, so... I need to be calm."

"I’ll give you time." Chase looked at her, then looked away and started the car again, "Sorry, I pressured you."

"You don’t have to wait for me; you can have a better choice." Rachel looked at him with some urgency, her concern for his well-being genuine.

Chase didn’t answer, but his mood was quite low.

Once the car was parked under her apartment complex, after she thanked him and was about to open the door to get out, he casually locked the door.

Unable to open the door, when she turned to him, he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and kissed her directly on the lips!

The kiss caught Rachel completely off guard.
