When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 566: This Damned Fate

"It should be soon, right?" Nanny Warren thought. Since the relationship is easing, Mrs. Lancaster, being so emotionally intelligent, will definitely find time to drag Adrian back.

Matters of easing relationships must be struck while the iron is hot.

"I still want to send them some gifts, but I don’t know what would be good." This had troubled her for a long time. "What do you think?"

And Nanny Warren said straightforwardly—

"Madam, there’s really no need to deliberately send gifts. Their willingness to come back voluntarily shows they have accepted us in their hearts."

"We can chat and take walks together, and the relationship will naturally improve, as long as you genuinely want to turn enemies into friends with them. Leave it to time; don’t force it too much." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Nonsense!" Eliza Hayes seemed touched on a nerve, "Adrian is Caleb’s son! Why talk about enemies or friends? He is our son! Our flesh and blood!"

"Yes, yes." Nanny Warren lowered her eyes in apology, explaining, "I didn’t mean anything else, don’t be angry."

Eliza Hayes steadied her emotions and, calming down, realized she had overreacted earlier, casually browsing through the book in her hand.

She loved Adrian, loved him dearly!

Nanny Warren glanced at her, then at the snow drifting outside, and quietly retreated.

During the following week, Dustin Shepherd was the busiest. His work tasks had not decreased, and he also had to personally plan a wedding.

He and Serena Sutton hadn’t had a chance encounter in the past two days; he was too busy, spending very little time at the company.

Always at the wedding venue with the staff.

On the third evening, in the design department office.

Serena Sutton, seeing the sunset outside the window reflecting on the snow, was inspired by the beautiful scene.

In an instant, her mood improved greatly, and ideas flowed like a spring.

She didn’t even go for dinner and directly opened her computer, diving into her design work.

Design and writing are, in fact, the same.

Inspiration is a magical thing. When you have it, everything comes effortlessly.

So, by the time she finished her work, it was 11 PM, and she hadn’t even noticed.

It was only when she turned off her computer that she realized the whole big office was empty except for her, and she felt a bit dazed.

She had been so focused on work that she hadn’t noticed when her colleagues had left.

Grabbing her bag, she left the office and went to the elevator, pressing the open button.

The elevator descended and soon stopped in front of her, with a ding, and the doors opened.

Serena Sutton was about to step inside when she saw Dustin Shepherd inside.

In the silent night, their eyes met, and the girl clearly froze for a moment.

Dustin Shepherd didn’t say anything, his calm gaze fixed on her delicate face.

This scene reminded them both of the time they had kissed against the elevator wall!

Since Serena Sutton didn’t enter for a while, the elevator automatically closed after a dozen seconds.

She watched the numbers on the display next to her decrease, her heartbeat seemed to finally react, inexplicably speeding up, and her cheeks felt warm.

She was stunned; had she really just run into Dustin Shepherd?

Only after Dustin Shepherd got off the elevator did she press the button to open the doors again.

Walking inside with her mind wandering, Serena Sutton felt a bit of a headache. Rumors had been going around the company for two days, and she wondered if he’d heard them, since there hadn’t been any reaction...

His eyes earlier had been unnaturally calm.

Could it be the calm before the storm?

But what was it to do with her??

It was he who had initiated the kiss against the wall!!

When it came to responsibility for this matter, each should bear half!

Serena Sutton thought this, grit her teeth, stood tall, couldn’t back down! She had nothing to be guilty about!

But when she recalled what she had said to him in the elevator that day—

"Listen, I want the man Faye Turner doesn’t!"

Serena Sutton closed her eyes, feeling a bit chaotic inside!!

With a ding, the elevator doors opened.

She stepped out and was about to hail a cab when she saw Dustin Shepherd standing outside the glass doors.

In a light blue suit, looking bright and handsome, he turned to ask her, "Is your car in for maintenance?"

"How...how did you know?" Facing him, she was noticeably flustered, probably because she liked him.
