When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 597: Hypocrisy

Melanie Lancaster looked up only when she approached, smiling at them—

"Adrian and Faye are back? With the year-end approaching, there must be a lot going on at the company, right? It’s really been tough."

"It’s alright." Adrian Lancaster replied calmly. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

At this moment, Brandon Lancaster appeared at the staircase corner—

"Little brother and sister-in-law are back, huh?"

Everyone turned their eyes towards him upon hearing the voice.

He descended the stairs, sporting a bright smile, "Whoa, sister-in-law, when’s the due date? Your bump’s already that big!"

Such an affectionate term of address!

Faye Turner seldom saw Brandon Lancaster and her impression of him remained from the start, just knowing these two brothers were at odds, nearly coming to blows in the office.

Moreover, Brandon Lancaster wanted to use her to achieve his goal of defeating Adrian Lancaster.

So Faye did not respond, not wanting to engage with him.

"Worrying too much can ruin your own life." Adrian Lancaster spoke bluntly, "Minding less of others’ business leads to longevity."

His attitude... packed a punch!

Hearing this, Melanie Lancaster, Brandon’s mother, turned green, "Brandon was just showing some concern, how could you say that?"

Old Master Lancaster leaned on his cane, his brow was slightly furrowed with a stern expression.

"Whether it’s concern, you and I both know the truth." Adrian Lancaster made no apologies.

Brandon Lancaster slowed his steps, withdrawing his smile; he felt the air in the hall solidifying, leading to suffocating silence.

Unexpectedly, Adrian Lancaster was so disrespectful even in front of the elders.

At this moment, the butler came over and respectfully said, "Dinner is ready, please proceed to the dining room."

Adrian Lancaster withdrew his gaze from him, softening considerably when looking at his wife.

Melanie tried to explain with a smile, seeing her grandfather’s displeased expression, "Adrian, you’re being too sensitive. Brandon meant no harm, he was just asking about the due date, he even has to prepare a red envelope and join the full month celebration later."

"Let’s head to the dining room for dinner." Old Master Lancaster, who also sensed the tension, remarked further discussion was pointless.

Grandfather turned and walked towards the dining room.

Eliza Hayes spoke to Faye Turner, "Let’s go, Faye."

Faye snapped out of her thoughts and walked with Adrian Lancaster, following her mother to the dining room.

At the same time, Melanie and her son discovered something—that Adrian Lancaster, despite never being favored by his mother, surprisingly had a good relationship with Eliza Vance?

This harmonious atmosphere left the mother and son pair quite astonished, as it wasn’t like this before.

What happened during this period? They wanted to know, yet remained clueless, feeling like outsiders to the Lancaster Family.

As they entered the dining room, Melanie gave her son a look, reminding him not to forget what was entrusted to him at the café.

Seeing Adrian Lancaster’s attitude, Brandon Lancaster decided not to hold back and planned to expose the fake father issue.

Steamed bass, steamed shrimp egg custard, fermented rice balls, cold sauce shredded meat, boiled pork slices, braised pig trotters, golden soup with beef, chestnut stewed chicken, rice cake chicken wings, all-vegetarian lotus root soup, winter melon shrimp soup, radish beef soup...

Tonight’s dinner was quite lavish because Melanie Lancaster had returned to the country, a feast set to welcome her back, with Old Master Lancaster specifically instructing the chef to prepare many of her favorite dishes.

As the Lancaster family’s young miss, being Old Master Lancaster’s only daughter, it’s undeniable she was spoiled.

And special dishes were prepared for Faye Turner as she was pregnant.

The family sat around the table in order of seniority, and just as they sat down, Brandon contemplated explaining his allegiance to Elias Young to his grandfather, though not at the dinner table.

In case grandfather reprimands him, Adrian Lancaster should definitely not hear him being mocked.

But the matter of the fake uncle in the wheelchair could be mentioned outright.
