When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 594: Melanie Lancaster Returns to China

"In fact, in one’s lifetime, meeting someone who asks for nothing but can become a safe harbor is indeed rare and requires fate." Eliza Hayes saw it clearly.

Adrian Lancaster fell into deep contemplation upon hearing this.

So, in his parents’ marriage, there was a third person... Yet his mother always loved his father unwaveringly.

Did Auntie Keller know when Dad had the car accident?

Did she go to the hospital to see Dad?

Did Dad ever say anything to her?

Just like he said to Dr. Wyatt Lane: Someone is trying to harm me.

Adrian Lancaster had a premonition that Claire Keller was the person his father trusted the most, and she probably knew something.

Isn’t a confidante someone you share anxieties with when you have concerns?

Adrian Lancaster raised his eyes, looking at his emotionally downcast mother, and asked softly, "Where is she? Do you know her whereabouts?"

Eliza Hayes shook her head, "How would I know her whereabouts? I’m not friends with her."

After so many years, thinking of this woman again, the softest part of Eliza Hayes’ heart still felt a distinct pang of pain.

She always felt that love has many forms, Caleb’s is one type, and his feelings for Claire Keller are another.

The other kind isn’t mundane, perhaps more noble, not mixed with the trivialities of daily life, and possibly more beautiful.

As a woman, she couldn’t help but feel jealous.

"Do you hate my father?" Adrian Lancaster’s voice was low, as he understood for the first time the other side of his father.

Eliza Hayes carefully considered this emotion, and didn’t immediately respond, because surely just the word ’hate’ couldn’t express it.

’Resentment’ might be a little more accurate.

After a while, she shook her head, and said with relief, "Your father never hid anything from me, nor did he delete chat records. Every time he went out to meet her, he would clearly tell me, so... this isn’t considered betrayal, right?"

"They might not have had love, but they definitely had a relationship beyond friendship." That was Adrian Lancaster’s conclusion.

Friends like these are indeed hard to come by.

After bidding farewell to his mother, he prepared to leave when Eliza Hayes called him back, "Adrian."

He turned around, meeting his mother’s gaze, "Speak."

"I hope in this lifetime, you only love Faye Turner, and no one else."

"..." Honestly, he was slightly astonished, and then his lips curled slightly, "Don’t worry, I value her more than anyone."

Eliza Hayes felt reassured after hearing this.

In the days that followed, Adrian Lancaster had another person to investigate, a middle-aged woman named Claire Keller.

But the strange thing was, after his father’s car accident, she had resigned from Prestige Group, and no one knew where she went.

She came quietly, and left quietly, as if her entire life bloomed only for his father.

The plane landed, Melanie Lancaster returned home.

The Old Master arranged for the driver to go to the airport in advance to pick her up.

As she emerged from the crowd with a red suitcase, the driver and bodyguard approached her.

"Miss Lancaster."

They took her luggage.

Melanie Lancaster wore sunglasses, a tweed suit dress, high heels, and a bright red scarf.

Though middle-aged, it was undeniable that she retained her charm. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Heading towards the nearby parked limousine, someone opened the car door for her, she entered with confidence, like a big sister.

The door closed, the driver started the car, "Miss Lancaster, the Old Master is at the old house, preparing a welcome for you, I’ll take you home now."

"Go to The Quiet Cup first." Her tone was indifferent, as she picked up her phone to edit a text on WeChat.

The driver hesitated, then tried to persuade, "Miss Lancaster, the Old Master specifically instructed to take you straight home."

Sitting in the back, Melanie Lancaster, expressionless, raised her eyes to look at him and emphasized coldly, "I said, go to The Quiet Cup! Don’t understand human speech?"
