Chapter 325: It’s All an Act
Lawyer friend?
Faye Turner couldn’t help but focus on him once more. As they approached, the boy in white dropped a chess piece and stood up.
"Adrian!" He expressed his good mood openly, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
Adrian Lancaster held Faye Turner’s shoulder and stopped in front of him, greeted his grandfather, and then Adrian intended to make introductions.
The boy in white directly reached out to Faye Turner, proactively saying, "Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Evan Sharp, I grew up with Adrian, went to college abroad after high school, and now I’m a lawyer with my own law firm."
Faye Turner smiled and shook hands with him, "Hello, just call me Faye."
She didn’t expect this lawyer friend to be so young, yet very easy-going, without any sense of aura.
Adrian Lancaster had mentioned that he never loses a case.
What Faye Turner didn’t know was that Evan Sharp was quite serious and not one to joke around with outsiders; he was known as the "living king of hell" in the legal world.
Because he had a good relationship with The Lancasters, that’s why he was so easy-going.
Backyard temple.
"The young master and Miss Turner are back," Nanny Warren reported softly.
Eliza Hayes’s face darkened, somewhat displeased, and asked, "Did they come back together?"
"Yes."
Eliza Hayes secretly gritted her teeth. She tried to calm herself down, thinking, when will this girl come back alone?
It seems, she still needs to improve her relationship to make her completely let down her guard.
Yes, Eliza Hayes had another plan.
Tonight’s dinner was still lavish, a table full of delicacies, carefully prepared to welcome Adrian Lancaster and Faye Turner home and to greet Evan Sharp back from abroad.
Faye Turner was back, so the chefs specially made nutritional soup for pregnancy, incredibly delicious.
"Faye, have you experienced any pregnancy reactions recently?"
The old man held her hand and asked lovingly, "If you’re uncomfortable, don’t go to work, let Adrian Lancaster take care of you."
"Grandpa." The girl smiled sweetly, "He’s willing to take care of me, but I don’t want to, I feel good, no pregnancy reactions at all."
"Has he been taking good care of you?"
"Yes, yes."
The smile on her face clearly showed that her life was becoming increasingly happy these days.
On the way back to the old house, Adrian Lancaster and Faye Turner specially went to the mall to pick gifts for the elders, and even prepared one for Nanny Warren.
"You don’t need to be so polite. Just coming back makes Grandpa very happy. Don’t often buy gifts." Grandpa always feels sorry for their busy work schedule and exhaustion.
The dinner atmosphere was relaxed and joyful.
Eliza Hayes, like last time, kept a smile on her face, even serving soup personally for the young generation, Evan Sharp included.
"Thank you, mom."
"Thank you, auntie."
"You’re welcome, treat this as your home when you’re back, drink more. We’ve recently changed the chef; the taste has been improving."
After dinner, Faye Turner checked Nanny Warren’s pulse, with Eliza Hayes watching from the side, observing her daughter-in-law’s expression.
Faye Turner was very earnest and dedicated, completely unaware of her mother-in-law’s slightly cold gaze.
She smiled and said to Nanny Warren, "Your health needs some adjustment, but don’t worry, there’s no major issue. I’ll bring you some Chinese medicine next time; after drinking it, you’ll feel refreshed instantly."
"Thank you, Miss Turner." In front of Eliza Hayes, Nanny Warren still didn’t call her madam, because only she knew that the lady hadn’t let go of her hatred.
All this politeness was just pretend, all an act.
From the plan she accidentally discovered when Miss Turner went out that day and she followed, Nanny Warren felt quite fearful.
She looked at Faye Turner’s eyes with some pity... This is a kind and innocent girl who, just because she married into The Lancasters, gets drawn into a smoke-free turmoil.
No one knows what the future holds.
Just after checking Nanny Warren’s pulse, Adrian Lancaster came over. He asked his mother, "Mom, I’d like to go upstairs to see Dad."
He spoke cheerfully, thinking she would agree.
Unexpectedly, the originally gentle-looking Eliza Hayes suddenly changed her demeanor and, with no sign of emotion, asked, "Why?"
Adrian Lancaster thought, does visiting a sick father need a reason?
