CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: THE LANCASTER FAMILY’S SECRET IS NOT SIMPLE

"Madam, why don’t you go out and show your face? Don’t wait until mealtime. After all, we’re all family, even if it’s just for the old master’s sake."

Nanny Warren urged earnestly, but Eliza Hayes turned a deaf ear, utterly unmoved, and even more disgusted.

At this moment, Adrian Lancaster came over with Faye Turner, already appearing in the courtyard between the two buildings. When Nanny Warren inadvertently turned her eyes, she happened to see them.

"Madam, they’ve come over," Nanny Warren reminded softly.

"Young Master." Nanny Warren hurried to the door, respectfully greeting them, "Young Mistress."

"Hello, Nanny Warren," Faye Turner greeted politely as she entered, her voice soft, respecting her as an elder.

Nanny Warren bowed to them again, then stepped aside, intentionally leaving some space for the mother and son.

Adrian Lancaster’s gaze was deep, and his emotions were extremely complex as he looked at his mother’s back.

Faye Turner was intimidated by the surroundings; this was a Buddha hall, with a vast, resplendent ceiling covered in scriptures.

In front was a golden statue of Buddha, full of Zen ambiance, classic and elegant.

"Mom," Adrian Lancaster stood still beside the middle-aged woman, seeing her unfazed, eyes half-closed, calmly fingering Buddha Beads.

"Hello, Auntie," Faye Turner returned to her senses, speaking politely, standing quietly and well-behaved beside the man.

Eliza Hayes showed her disdain for Adrian Lancaster openly, without any concealment, completely ignoring the two.

"I want to take Faye to see Dad," after a while, Adrian Lancaster spoke softly.

Faye Turner abruptly turned her eyes in disbelief at him!

He has a dad??

Where is he?

Eliza Hayes paused her Buddha bead movements upon hearing this, turned her gaze, scrutinized him, and asked coldly, "Do you think it’s convenient?"

"It’s etiquette," Adrian Lancaster spoke warmly, "It’s necessary."

The middle-aged woman asked sternly, "Is etiquette important, or is your dad’s life more important?"

"..." Adrian Lancaster did not answer, maintaining a composed countenance.

This left Faye Turner puzzled, what does it mean?

Even a meeting involves a matter of life and death?

Glaring fiercely at her son, Eliza Hayes angrily dropped the Buddha Beads! The sound made the two young people’s chests shrink slightly.

Then, they watched as she stepped outward, warning, "Without my permission, no one is allowed to see him!"

Adrian Lancaster watched his mother’s departing back, a complex gaze with a hint of melancholy.

Faye Turner followed beside him, completely clueless about the situation.

It seems the Lancaster Family’s secrets are not only tied to Mrs. Lancaster; Mr. Lancaster is also shrouded in mystery.

In such a strange family environment, it’s no wonder Adrian Lancaster, like a hedgehog, keeps tightly wrapped, full of vigilance toward everyone around him.

How did the old burn scars on his arm come about?

Faye Turner grew even more curious.

Adrian Lancaster also started moving, Faye Turner followed, gently tugging at the man’s sleeve, whispering, "Don’t confront her directly; she’s your mom. Let’s solve the problems slowly."

Solve?

To Adrian Lancaster, it seemed like a big joke!

The Lancaster Family’s problems couldn’t be solved at all!

However, thinking of this girl’s formidable mentor, Adrian Lancaster suddenly had an idea; it was as if he saw a sliver of faint hope.

But he showed no sign, as the matter requires further investigation.

The dinner was very sumptuous, surpassing the previous dishes, only increasing. Seeing his beloved grandson and granddaughter-in-law return, the old man was as joyful as a child, the kindly and joyful expression on his face never fading.

Eliza Hayes had a slightly cold demeanor; during dinner, she had no interaction with her son and daughter-in-law, not even bothering to look at them, as if they were strangers.

Only when the old man communicated with her did her attitude noticeably improve, making her seem alive.

This made Faye Turner very puzzled; where was the problem?

Is Adrian Lancaster really her biological son?

Is this a stepmother?

But if it’s a stepmother, given Adrian Lancaster’s character, it’s impossible for him to be manipulated by her.

As the current head of Prestige Group, shouldn’t the stepmother be at his beck and call?

No, no, no, she’s definitely his biological mother!

From Adrian Lancaster’s subtle emotional changes, Faye Turner could confirm the mother-son relationship.

After dinner, as they prepared to leave, the old man saw them out.

Under the night sky, in the evening breeze, the grandfather clasped Faye Turner’s hand, patting it gently, "Faye, have you gotten pregnant with a baby?"
