When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster

Chapter 406: He’s Not Here to Reminisce

Adrian Lancaster withdrew the warmth in his eyes. Thinking of her colluding with his mother, he calmed down a bit but was still angry.

He stepped forward, about to walk past her.

"Adrian!" The girl frowned, spreading her arms instinctively to stop him.

Adrian Lancaster paused and looked up at her again, his gaze carrying a hint of coldness.

The smile on the girl’s face disappeared. She looked pitiful, her eyes full of grievances, "There’s a misunderstanding between us. It was your mother who came to me. As an elder, I couldn’t refuse. It’s the basic respect."

Adrian Lancaster met her gaze, his eyes deep and mysterious.

"Adrian, if you want to block me, fine... if we can’t be friends, fine, but there’s no need to be enemies, right? After all, we had a relationship."

She looked very sad, her delicate brows furrowed. She explained again, "Adrian, I never intended to disturb your current life, even if I haven’t let you go. I think about you all the time, but I’ve been restraining myself. I’ve tried my best."

Maybe it was because they once loved each other, or maybe it was her outfit today that was exactly like the figure in his memory.

In any case, after Adrian Lancaster heard these words and saw her current expression, her aggrieved look stirred something inside him.

"Adrian, do you remember... back in high school, how you liked eating red bean cakes?" She smiled and raised her hand, extending a bag to him, "Here, have a taste?"

The man did not reach out to accept it, "Let’s have a coffee. I happen to have something to ask you."

This left Sienna Dawson incredulous!

He was asking her out??

But she quickly regained her composure, "Sure, yes." She appeared modest, but her heart was already like a deer in headlights.

Adrian Lancaster turned and walked towards a nearby coffee shop.

Sienna Dawson hurried to follow and took out her phone, quickly sending a message to someone, even sharing her location.

It was office hours, so there weren’t many customers in the café.

The café was right on the roadside, located in a bustling area, but it was well soundproofed inside and had a cozy decor.

Sienna Dawson never thought that one day, she would be invited to a café by Adrian.

She told herself to grasp this chance for reconciliation well.

Upon entering, she carefully and expectantly followed him, sitting down across from him at the spot he selected.

She maintained a smile on her face, "This place looks nice. Do you come here often?" In an attempt to avoid embarrassment, she started a conversation.

The man opened his thin lips, "First time." His face had no extra expression.

The girl nodded, extending her hand again, "Would you like a piece? It won’t taste good if it gets cold."

He shook his head, "Do you know Shane?"

"Who?" The girl was slightly stunned, thinking and puzzled, "I don’t know, who is it?"

Adrian Lancaster gazed at her for a long time.

It made her feel a bit uneasy, "... Which Shane?"

"Do you remember the camphor tree at school? It was before the semester started, during military training, the first time we officially met." Adrian Lancaster probably really loved her back then, so every moment was deeply etched in his mind.

And this memorable scene, Sienna Dawson remembered too.

She nodded, "That day you were wearing a white T-shirt, exuding a kind of holy light. I had twisted my ankle, resting under the tree. I didn’t know other classmates at the time, and only you came to look out for me."

"I asked you a question then, do you remember?" Adrian Lancaster recalled clearly.

The girl met his gaze, genuinely without any impression, "Wha... what question?" He didn’t seem to be here to reminisce, and this question seemed important.
