When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 565: Getting Teased

The gossip reached the design department and fell into the ears of Faye Turner and Serena Sutton.

Faye, surprised yet happy for them, said, "Congratulations, you and Dustin Shepherd actually make a great pair."

Serena was momentarily speechless, unsure of how to explain to her. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Serena? When are you giving out wedding candy? Keeping it so secret? Could it be to save on cigarette money?" A colleague chimed in.

"Exactly! Already together and still not saying anything!!"

Serena looked around in bewilderment and noticed that almost everyone was staring at her, all talking over each other—

"Did you know someone in our office has had a crush on Assistant Shepherd for a long time? Your sudden announcement might be too much for them to take!"

"Send red packets in the group! Quick, quick, quick!"

"Right, right, right, there’s nothing a red packet can’t solve!"

"If five red packets don’t solve it, then send ten!"

"When did you guys get together? Your secrecy game is strong?"

"I heard you kissed in the elevator, how trendy!"

Serena felt a headache, unsure how to face Dustin Shepherd, and she had actually kissed him first! Just thinking about it turned her cheeks red.

"Don’t be shy! Since you got caught, just admit it!"

"Is it nearing a good occasion?"

"When are you guys planning to get married?"

The colleagues surrounded her, making her a little embarrassed.

Faye sat in her office chair, also infected by their happiness, her belly slightly protruding, always smiling.

"Alright!" Serena finally spoke, straightening her back, confidently saying, "Thank you all for your blessings, let’s not discuss it during work hours, it’d be bad if Director Jennings caught us, please give us some space. As for the red packets, everyone will get theirs! I’ll send them right now!"

After speaking, she opened her phone and sent out a red packet in the WeChat group, wanting to settle the matter.

"Quick, quick, quick! Grab it!"

"Slow down, I’m getting my phone!!"

"No rush, everyone will get a share."

"Those who snatch the red packets will have to give gifts later!" Serena pointed at everyone, reminding them.

"Haha! That’s no problem! I’ll grab a bouquet and aim to be single no more next year!"

Faye, sitting at her spot, listened to the colleagues chatter and also took out her phone to open the WeChat group.

The red packets were for everyone, no need to snatch, and the amount was quite large.

After finding out Dustin Shepherd had a girlfriend, Faye felt relieved, genuinely happy for the two of them.

It had been snowing all day, and the snowy scene outside the window was beautiful, the whole city clad in silver.

At The Lancaster Family, in the ancient and rustic old house.

The branches of the camphor tree in front of the door were covered with snow, and the courtyard was also a vast expanse of white.

Since Adrian accepted the scarf she knitted by hand and called her "Mom," Eliza Hayes seemed to take a dose of good medicine, her whole demeanor changed.

Her temperament became gentle, and her face more often wore a smile.

She’s been reading more recently, with an aura that exudes from within. Beside the sofa, there’s a mobile little bookshelf full of books about how to be a good mother-in-law, how to handle family relationships.

For example—

"How to Be a Good Mother-in-law"

"A Wise Parent Doesn’t Meddle"

"Live and Learn"

"How to Grow Old Gracefully"

"The Infant Period"

"Complementary Foods for Three-Year-Old Babies"

"The Most Scientific Methods for Confinement"...

In short, she’s recently loved browsing these books, marking or copying down the key points.

She’s decided to cultivate her character and vowed to be a good mother-in-law, a good mother, and a good grandmother.

She wants to change herself and improve the happiness index of the entire family.

"Madam, you’ve been reading for an hour. Rest your eyes for a bit?" Nanny Warren seized the right moment to come in and remind her.

Eliza Hayes was engrossed, gently closed the book, looked up at her with a soft expression, "When do you think Adrian and Faye will come back next time?"
