When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 954: A Sense of Familiarity
And in Gia’s mind, Mrs. Lancaster’s image appeared, that gaze felt... as if she had seen her somewhere before.
On the second floor, in front of the living room window.
Adrian Lancaster, dressed in a black suit, his brows furrowed deeply. The grander and more lively today’s event, the more forlorn he felt inside.
Without his wife by his side, this home felt incomplete.
Not knowing if she’s safe, he always felt that life was missing something.
But his grandfather’s 80th birthday was something he had promised him years ago, to celebrate it grandly.
Taking the opportunity to invite his comrades, old friends, to a family gathering-like birthday banquet, without receiving gifts, and donating some money to charity, to cultivate virtue and do good.
And another reason was — to bring joy!
He took a deep breath, decided to adjust his mood and went downstairs to entertain the guests. As he inadvertently looked out the window, he spotted Nathan Xavier’s car. Has he already arrived?
So, he turned and went downstairs.
At this moment, in the banquet hall created from the living room, luxurious tableware shimmered on the long table covered with red cloth, and the variety of dishes were beautifully arranged.
Stacks of porcelain plates were pristine, with a warm, shining luster, all sterilized.
Various freshly baked pastries, made by pastry masters in the kitchen, were brought by waiters.
Their vibrant colors and exquisite shapes made many guests take photos, reluctant to eat them.
The distinguished Adrian Lancaster appeared at the corner of the staircase, catching sight of Nathan Xavier who had just entered and the woman beside him.
Gia raised her eyes and happened to accidentally meet Adrian Lancaster’s deep gaze, and they both felt an inexplicable sensation.
Adrian Lancaster stepped down one step at a time, his gaze never leaving her.
This girl’s eyes and gaze made President Lancaster dazed.
It was a feeling that penetrated his bones, an overwhelming sense of familiarity, but upon descending the stairs and getting closer, he looked at this face that was different from Faye’s, and began to feel that he missed her too much... Was he hallucinating?
Gia also felt the same strange feeling, this man... Where had she seen him before?
From the moment she got out of the car and saw the camphor tree in the yard, everything here gave her a sense of familiarity, yet she couldn’t remember having come here before.
"Adrian!" Nathan Xavier stopped in his tracks, his face gentle.
Soon, Adrian Lancaster stopped in front of them, glanced at him, and his deep gaze fell on the girl beside him, "Is she your girlfriend?"
Gia felt a bit shy, Nathan Xavier smiled, "For now, we’re just good friends."
Adrian Lancaster understood what it meant, just saying they weren’t together yet.
"Let me introduce, this is President Lancaster from Prestige Group, my friend," Nathan Xavier said, "This is Gia, my date."
"Hello, President Lancaster." Gia softly greeted him.
Adrian Lancaster just stared at her, surprisingly slightly lost in thought. Her voice was as gentle as the breeze that had just passed, her smile was also beautiful.
The feeling she gave him was exactly the same as the one Faye gave him back then... Comfortable and pleasant.
Nathan Xavier gently coughed, tightening his hold on Gia’s shoulder, bringing the dazed President Lancaster back to his senses.
At the same time, Young Master Xavier felt a sense of crisis.
Someone reminded, "Young master, Miss Joy has arrived."
Adrian Lancaster looked up, Nathan Xavier and Gia turned their heads at the sound, only to see a middle-aged maid carrying a child under one year old enter the door.
"Daddy, Daddy..."
The little one wore a pretty princess dress, and when she saw Adrian Lancaster, her little body leaped with excitement, particularly lively.
She was very beautiful, with very fair skin, a bit of baby fat, and when she smiled, a few little white teeth showed, sweetly.
