Chapter 284: Still Can’t Remember Where We’ve Met
"Great! With a brother-in-law as my strong support, I will definitely make every effort!"
Seeing this, Faye couldn’t help but remember that night when she received Milo’s call. She immediately went out to accompany him, to guide him, and was almost misunderstood by her for being together with Ivy.
Her heart felt a bit guilty, but also warmly comforted.
Adrian Lancaster is really good to her family.
Yet, at the same time, Faye was also very clear that his kindness to her was just for show, merely to please his grandfather.
There was no element of love in it.
"Sis, I also toast to you, thank you for finding me such a good brother-in-law!" Milo Turner raised his teacup to her, his face full of innocent childlike charm.
"Talkative!" Though Faye pretended to dislike it, she still raised the teacup in front of her, smiling as she told him, "Make sure to study hard, your brother-in-law doesn’t use connections! As previously said, you have to learn the skills!"
"Of course! Sis, rest assured! I will definitely study hard!"
With support for him studying materials science, his mood improved.
At this moment, Mr. Rhodes came out of the kitchen, smilingly saying to everyone, "Sir, Madam, dinner is ready, you may dine now."
"Alright, we’ll be right there." Adrian Lancaster put down his teacup and looked at Chloe Gable sitting opposite, "Mom, please move to the dining room for dinner, we can eat and chat."
With that, he held Faye’s hand and stood up, Chloe and Milo also set their cups down and stood up.
They headed towards the dining room.
The spaciousness and brightness, fashion and elegance of the dining room once again caught Chloe and Milo’s attention, scenes like this they hadn’t seen even in TV shows.
The massive chandelier overhead emitted dazzling light, illuminating everyone.
Adrian Lancaster attentively pulled out a chair, assisting Chloe to sit down, and then he sat down with Faye facing her.
Milo sat beside his mother.
Faced with the sumptuous table, Chloe felt very touched and once again expressed her gratitude to Adrian Lancaster.
Even though it was home-cooked food, it was cooked with particular care, and the presentation was quite meticulous.
"Let’s dig in, don’t be formal, we’re all family." As he spoke, Adrian Lancaster picked up his chopsticks.
He truly tried to put away his aura, but some things tied to identity are innate.
After he picked up the chopsticks, Chloe picked hers up as well.
Faye personally served soup to her and her brother, "Have some black-bone chicken soup, it’s nourishing." The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, and gradually, they began chatting while eating.
"Mom, your dress today is really beautiful!" Faye praised, "You have quite the eye!"
"Really?" Chloe smiled broadly, "I tried on seven dresses before choosing this one, it seems to fit pretty well."
The mother and daughter chatted, with Milo chiming in now and then, Adrian Lancaster took it all in, feeling moved and envious.
If only he could have such a relationship with his own mother, how wonderful would that be?
So, the atmosphere tonight was both joyful and illusory for him, who had long lacked maternal love, with Adrian Lancaster maintaining a gentle smile on his face.
During the meal, he occasionally took deliberate glances at the middle-aged woman sitting across from him, his wife’s adopted mother, always feeling as though she’d been seen somewhere before.
Every time he saw her, there was a sense of long-lost familiarity.
Yet he could never recall the exact scene.
This always made Adrian Lancaster think of Sienna Dawson, was it her departure that led to his depression at that time, affecting his memory?
Anyway, after that period, he was indeed quite different than before.
After the meal.
As the group moved from the dining room to the living room, a car light shone in, leading everyone to look towards the courtyard.
Only to see a black sedan come to a stop, Adrian Lancaster glanced at Mr. Rhodes, who promptly understood and hurried outside, with Miss Lane following closely behind.
"Who is it?" Faye’s tone was calm, but she couldn’t help feeling a bit tense. Could it be Eliza Hayes coming here?
Hopefully, not such a coincidence, please, please not.
