When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 561: Jealousy Fills the Air

Just then, as Dustin Shepherd was carrying the fifth box of water, he was seen by Faye Turner, who was holding some documents.

"..." She paused in her tracks, surprised by the sight of him drenched in sweat.

Dustin had just opened the elevator door and lifted the entire box of water from the ground when their eyes met.

Faye studied him and asked quizzically, "Why are you doing this job?"

"Ask your husband if he could spare me?" Dustin panted softly, "He’s been torturing me all morning, asking me to move water, assemble tables, fix the printer..."

"Why?" She was puzzled.

"Because of you."

"..." Faye was completely bewildered.

Dustin explained to her, "I told him about his recent efforts to help you find your biological parents, and he thinks I’m getting a bit too close to you."

"Childish!" Faye furrowed her brows.

"Exactly, he’s so childish! You must have a good talk with him!" Dustin took a deep breath, glancing at the elevator door which had opened and closed again, "Please hold it open for me! If I’m late, I’ll have to move ten more boxes!"

Faye pressed the button to hold the door open for him.

"Faye, for old classmates’ sake, you’ve got to help me out with this." Dustin looked at her pitifully before entering the elevator.

Faye nodded, "Alright." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

After Dustin left, she felt both amused and annoyed. So, she took out her phone and ordered a bowl of hot snow fungus lotus seed soup.

Once the delivery arrived, she carried the soup upstairs.

Arriving at the door of the CEO’s office, she knocked and entered.

Adrian Lancaster was sitting at his desk, looking very serious as he organized his documents. When he looked up and saw Faye coming in with the bowl, his expression immediately softened, "Honey, what brings you here?"

"I brought you some snow fungus lotus seed soup." She gently stirred it with a spoon, "It’s still a bit hot. Didn’t you always say this place makes it the most authentic?"

He put down the documents he was holding and wrapped an arm around her waist.

Faye went along with it and sat on his lap, "Honey, here, let me feed you, open your mouth." Her voice was tenderly sweet.

Adrian was quite surprised, as she rarely came up during work hours, and she was always so reserved, never engaging in such intimate gestures in the office.

But today, she was acting quite out of character.

Adrian gazed at her, her delicate and coldly beautiful face, her bright eyes looking innocently at him.

His heart fluttered slightly, and he was a bit entranced.

The spoon with the snow fungus lotus seed soup was brought to his lips, "Want a sip?"

Adrian snapped back to reality, parted his lips slightly, and ate with elegance.

And just like this, Faye smiled as she fed him spoon after spoon until he finished the entire bowl of soup, and then she set the bowl aside, still sitting on his lap.

"Are you in a bad mood today?" She rested her hands lightly on his shoulders, tilting her head as she asked.

Adrian’s gaze was tender, "Why do you say that?"

Faye took his hand and placed it over her heart, "It’s sensed here."

He looked at her and softly asked, "So are you in a bad mood too?"

"Not exactly a bad mood, just... feeling a bit inexplicably uneasy." She said with a hint of melancholy in her voice.

Adrian felt a bit saddened as he listened, "Faye, what do you think is the feeling of ease?"

"What is the feeling of ease?" Faye softly repeated, then smiled at him, sincere and honest, "You are the answer."

Their gazes met, and her words touched him.

Faye then said to him, "Adrian, I belong to you, forever and completely."
