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

Chapter 792: An Unexpected Encounter

Her face was pale, and she closed her eyes while casually turning off the radio. She sat for a while longer, and when she opened her eyes, there was no focus in them.

It was around ten in the morning, with a gentle breeze blowing.

Caleb Lancaster and Eliza Hayes went up the mountain, followed by two bodyguards in black suits carrying incense and candles for them.

Because this time, they came without making prior contact, it was just for a blessing.

So among the monks who saw them, one immediately recognized them, took a closer look, and hurried over here—

"Mrs. Lancaster?" Looking at the man beside her, although it was the first meeting, he had seen him in the news and confirmed his identity, so he greeted, "Hello, Mr. Lancaster."

"Hello." Caleb Lancaster responded politely and gentlemanly.

"Hello, Master." Eliza Hayes also greeted him, having met before, "May I ask if Master Jenny is here?"

The monk replied, "Master Jenny went down the mountain today. Why didn’t you make an appointment this time?"

"It’s all right." Eliza Hayes smiled, "I don’t have any other business with her, today is just a visit with my husband for blessings."

The monk understood their purpose and asked, "Have you fasted for the past three days?"

"Yes." She nodded.

"Then please follow me, Master Jenny recently took on an apprentice who has learned everything well. I’ll let her come to attend to you."

"Okay, thank you."

"We’re old friends, no need to be formal."

In the temple, everyone has their own duties, and distinguished guests like Mrs. Lancaster are different from ordinary visitors; they must be accompanied throughout the process.

"Miro!"

Arriving at the backyard, this monk called towards the house on the left—

"Miro! Friends of Master Jenny have come from afar, could you spare some time to greet them?"

"Coming, coming."

When Claire Keller composed herself and stepped out of the house, Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster came into view, their gazes meeting.

She paused, her heart trembling with a jolt, standing there motionlessly!

Suddenly, as she locked eyes with Caleb Lancaster, it was like a slow-motion scene out of a movie, time seemed to freeze.

Strictly speaking, Caleb Lancaster had not seen Claire Keller for 20 years, yet her appearance was deeply etched in his mind.

Her figure had not changed, nor had the contours of her face. She just seemed to carry more traces of years gone by, clearly showing age and a hint of weariness.

It was from taking care of him all these years, exhausting her.

Seeing Caleb Lancaster standing there, Claire Keller was both overjoyed and emotional, with a faint, dull ache in her heart.

When Eliza Hayes saw Claire Keller, her body also froze, unable to regain her senses for a long time.

She followed the woman’s gaze, slowly turning her eyes to her own husband.

Caleb Lancaster felt his wife’s gaze, withdrawing his own, turning to look at his wife, but said nothing.

At this moment, Claire Keller also regained her composure.

Then, the monk, unaware of anything amiss, spoke again—

"Miro, these are Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster from Argent, friends of Master Jenny, who have come specifically for blessings." Thinking she hadn’t heard clearly earlier inside the house, he introduced them again.

In her modest attire, Claire Keller nodded and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Lancaster. Hello, Mrs. Lancaster."

Just after exchanging greetings, before the two could respond, she softly invited, "Please follow me." With that, she turned and started walking.

No one knew how she felt at that moment, seeing the person she had longed for so suddenly and unexpectedly.

Eliza Hayes had a very complex feeling, truly not expecting to meet her, and Caleb Lancaster appeared composed, but in truth, there was some stirring inside him too.
