When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 967: He Has No Reason to Keep Her
At that moment, the door lock gently turned, and Adrian Lancaster came in.
He saw the warm scene inside and felt both surprised and delighted.
Gia, who was with the child, turned her head at the sound, saw Adrian Lancaster gently closing the door, and their eyes met for a few seconds.
She withdrew her gaze and looked back at the child again.
Unlike before, she didn’t sing nursery rhymes to amuse her. Suddenly, she felt a bit shy, but the affection in her heart for the child only grew stronger.
Adrian Lancaster walked towards them, just staring at her, and his heart melted. Besides Faye, she was the second woman he didn’t feel strongly against.
Even looking at her profile, he found himself sinking for a few seconds; she was almost identical to Faye, with only slight changes in her front view.
For Adrian Lancaster, he wouldn’t miss even the slightest glimmer of hope.
"Miss Gia." His thin lips softly parted, his voice gentle as he stopped in front of her and the child.
The girl holding the baby looked up at him, and he extended his hand towards her, "Give me your phone, and I’ll take some pictures for you."
The girl was momentarily stunned, but she unlocked her phone and handed it to him.
First, he saved his number in her contacts before opening the photo gallery.
Gia looked at the little baby in front of her, smiling as she gazed into its eyes, playing with it and trying her best to ignore the camera.
Adrian Xavier took pictures from the side, and no matter how he shot, the pictures were beautiful. He also adjusted the angle and used his own phone to take pictures too.
After taking the pictures, he returned the phone and left them alone without disturbing them further, leaving with a gentle demeanor.
The Lancaster Family’s banquet was arranged with high standards and considerate details, making all the guests feel a homey warmth.
Everyone mingled without reservation, chatting, networking, and even discussing collaborations, with Caleb Lancaster helping to mediate.
"Since they are all friends of the Lancaster Family, they must be great."
After the banquet ended, the guests gradually started to leave.
Adrian Lancaster, with his parents, bid farewell to the guests in the courtyard, expressing thanks, his mood tinged with a bit of disappointment.
Finally, he saw Nathan Xavier preparing to leave with Gia, the two approaching him.
Looking at the beautiful and gentle girl in front of him, President Lancaster actually felt a faint pain in his heart.
But reason and reality told him that without evidence, he couldn’t just keep her, although he was 80% sure that she was his Faye.
Nathan noticed something was off and felt a sense of crisis, so he put an arm around Gia’s shoulders in front of everyone, then smiled and said to Adrian Lancaster—
"Adrian, when Gia and I get married, we’ll definitely invite you. We can all gather then."
Boom!!
Rhiannon Xavier, standing to the side, felt as if she had just heard thunder on a clear day!
What’s going on? Marriage??
She abruptly turned her head, seeing his hand on Gia’s shoulder! She was really angry!
Adrian Lancaster’s face appeared calm, with a gentle smile slightly lifted at the corner of his lips, "Then you better pursue her properly, girls these days aren’t easy to chase."
Clearly, he was reminding Nathan Xavier they weren’t together yet, so what marriage? Nothing’s settled.
The Xavier Family’s parents were equally shocked to hear their son make this announcement.
However, they said nothing, offering no opinion on the matter; it wasn’t the time or place for commentary.
"Looking forward to seeing you next time, drive safely." Caleb Lancaster said, smiling.
"Alright, let’s stay in touch."
When Adrian Lancaster looked at Gia, his sharply defined face showed a hint of complex emotion.
And Gia, clearly aware of her identity before the results come out, withdrew her gaze, letting Nathan keep his arm around her shoulders as they prepared to leave together.
The scene stung Adrian Lancaster’s eyes, leaving him feeling utterly powerless, as he watched them turn away.
Meanwhile, Rhiannon Xavier followed along with her parents, though she felt somewhat embarrassed. Her father was still somewhat upset with her because of what happened earlier, not even looking at her directly.
Sitting in the car next to her mother, she seemed a bit absent-minded, starting to worry about her image in her parents’ eyes, thinking she might need to explain.
As if she was the one scheming against Gia!
