When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 956: Scheming Woman, Truly Scheming

The car was quiet, and Simon Xavier, not far away, also heard his daughter’s words.

He turned his eyes at the sound, and his wife just happened to look at him, somewhat undecided, as if seeking his opinion.

The couple’s eyes met for a while. The middle-aged man spoke, "Ask her where she is?" He was ready to bring her along, "If it’s not too far, let’s pick her up now." They hadn’t arrived yet, after all.

The woman nodded. Before she could speak, Rhiannon Xavier on the other end of the phone had already clearly heard her father’s words.

She suppressed her joy, fearing that they would change their mind, and quickly gave an address!

Mrs. Xavier nodded, "Alright, we will pick you up now." With that, she hung up the phone and relayed the address to the driver, "Drive slowly, there’s no hurry. Safety first."

"Yes, Madam."

What a coincidence, it was less than two kilometers away. The driver started looking for a place to turn around.

It must be said, Miss Xavier did her homework well, choosing a perfect location with impeccable timing for her call.

Having hung up the phone, she obediently stood by the roadside to wait.

She wore that white one-shoulder dress she successfully snagged, with exquisite makeup and hair up, standing by the roadside in stark contrast to her surroundings, looking both fair and slender.

Soon, a Cadillac stopped in front of her, the driver not having time to get out to open the door for her.

She eagerly opened the car door herself, bent down to sit in the front passenger seat, "Father, Mother!" As she fastened her seatbelt, she happily turned around to greet the two.

"Hello, Miss." The driver politely spoke softly, but she had no time to respond.

The couple also looked at her with smiles, spoiling their daughter from the bottom of their hearts. Today’s daughter was truly beautiful!

"Rhiannon, what are you doing here?" Simon Xavier asked kindly, "I thought I saw you leaving this morning. So you came to Argent?"

Was she still seen?

Rhiannon Xavier put away her guilty conscience, half-turned her body, smilingly looked towards the back seat, and made up a casual lie—

"A classmate invited me out for shopping, helping her pick some luxury goods. She said I have good taste, honed abroad."

Seeing her empty-handed, Mrs. Xavier was curious, "Didn’t you buy anything yourself?"

"Mother," the girl smiled sweetly, "The most important thing for a person is an enriched heart. I’m not obsessed with material things, and since childhood, I’ve never wanted for anything. What good things have I not seen?"

Hearing their daughter’s insight, The Xavier couple felt quite comforted; their daughter had grown up and her perspective had broadened.

The car headed towards the Xavier family’s old mansion...

The old mansion was getting busier, with luxury cars gradually parking firmly in the spacious parking lot.

Carter respectfully opened car doors, ushering guests out of the cars.

A room next to the reception hall was much quieter compared to the outside.

In here, Gia was dressed in a formal gown, looking after the children. Ever since little Joy had actively asked to be held, she hadn’t left her side.

At this moment, little Joy sat in the cradle, holding onto a railing with one hand and a toy with the other, playing joyfully with Miss Gia.

"Over here, hey, look over here!" Gia was playing peekaboo with her, guiding her to look around. The little one’s head moved around quite nimbly.

When she laughed, it was a joyous giggle, her voice full of happiness.

Gia was also infected by her laughter...

Nathan Xavier had just stepped out to answer a phone call.

This meant that, apart from her and the little one, only Mrs. Rhodes was left in this room.

Mrs. Rhodes stood aside, watching her with loving eyes, always feeling this young lady had a resemblance to the lady of the house.

Though not in the face, everywhere else looked alike, especially the kindness reflected in those eyes.

Is it really possible for two people to look so alike in this world?

In the banquet hall outside, Adrian Lancaster picked up a smooth porcelain plate, selecting flavors girls like.

Thoughtfully, he placed some exquisite and delicious sweets on the plate, preparing to take them to Nathan Xavier’s companion. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

During this process of picking desserts, the moment he handed little Joy to her flashed through his mind, inhaling the faint scent of herbal medicine emanating from her... making him quite dazed.

He needed to confirm if this scent was indeed coming from her.
