Chapter 405: Waiting for the Taoist Master
Hearing these words, the girl’s chest felt warm. She helped him fasten his tie, blushing as she looked up and asked uncertainly, "Dating?"
"Love after marriage. What? Is it not allowed?" Adrian Lancaster reached out and cupped her face, placing a kiss on her forehead.
This made Faye Turner a bit puzzled by his intentions.
Was he wavering again? Trying hard to lean towards her intentionally?
Or... did he also fall in love with her?
Just like she loved him?
But, Faye Turner did not have an ex-boyfriend; she had no emotional entanglements. Adrian Lancaster was different; he had Sienna Dawson.
Thinking this, Faye Turner continued to smile, "Of course, why wait for another day? How about after work today?"
"Okay."
Then both went down to have breakfast together and went to the company.
Faye Turner was very content. She believed time could change everything. One day, his heart would no longer have a corner for Sienna Dawson.
At dawn, in the old Lancaster Family house, it was ancient and serene.
Eliza Hayes got up early. To wait for the Taoist to descend the mountain, she almost had no sleep all night, feeling excited and expectant.
In her mind, she had countless fantasies about the situation after the Taoist found her grandfather.
The old man was aged and believed in these metaphysical things. With the Taoist’s arrival, the entire Lancaster Family’s situation would change, right?
"Madam..."
"Don’t talk to me." Eliza Hayes had been a bit annoyed with Nanny Warren recently. She rolled her eyes at her and spoke leisurely, "Don’t act like you’re a saint. We’re just the same as grasshoppers on a rope."
Watching her leave, Nanny Warren remained silent. Although the distance between her and the madam kept increasing, she knew too much and could only be classified on her side.
After Eliza Hayes went downstairs, she went to the main villa.
"Good morning, dad." She greeted her grandfather with a smile and then went upstairs to the second floor.
She sat alone on the sofa chair by the floor-to-ceiling window, just gazing at the door, waiting for the Taoist to come.
She was very eager, wishing the time would pass quickly.
With the Taoist’s mother in her hands, she didn’t believe how righteous the Taoist could be?
As long as there is a weakness, control is possible.
In the backyard, after Nanny Warren went downstairs, she stood still in the Buddhist hall.
Looking at the sorrowful Bodhisattva statue.
Perhaps to seek inner peace, or maybe she truly wanted to repent.
She devoutly knelt before the Bodhisattva, bowing her head for a long time...
One hour passed quickly.
Eliza Hayes did not wait for the Taoist. No one entered the yard.
Her heart began to burn with anxiety, also a bit angry, "Can’t even save his mother on time. What a thing?"
But she was sure that the old Taoist would definitely appear! Maybe his heart was struggling.
After a while, Eliza Hayes picked up her phone and found Sienna Dawson’s number.
She recited these numbers silently for a long time, but she didn’t hurry to dial because the Taoist hadn’t settled things yet, but this call would inevitably have to be made eventually.
Thinking about that brat Faye Turner, she gritted her teeth in anger.
At ten in the morning.
Adrian Lancaster came out of a certain clubhouse, having just finished negotiating a project with a client, signing a contract. He felt quite good and didn’t bring many people today.
After a few steps, a figure in a pink dress caught his eye not far away. Her half-tied hair was adorned with a butterfly hairpin, the soft ends of her hair fluttering in the wind.
"Boss, how much are these pastries?" Sienna Dawson’s voice was sweet, with the brightest smile on her face.
A few meters away, Adrian Lancaster stopped his footsteps, just gazing at her profile.
His mind flashed like a movie, unwittingly recalling scenes from high school.
The same weather, the same outfit, the same voice, the same smile... She had bought him pastries once.
At this moment, it was as if he had traveled through time.
His pace halted.
"Thank you, boss!" Sienna Dawson raised her voice, took the bag of pastries after paying.
As she was about to turn around and step forward, she bumped into Adrian Lancaster’s deep, absentminded gaze.
The girl paused, her radiant smile slightly retracting, looking at him with tender eyes.
Just as if lovers reunited after a long separation at the corner of the street.
Just when Adrian Lancaster had not yet come to his senses, Sienna Dawson moved gracefully towards him, her smile blooming beautifully and brightly.
"Hey, Adrian!" She waved at him.
