When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 1040: Never Coming Back Again

After a while, he reluctantly let go of her, fearing she might be uncomfortable; Adrian Lancaster had already done his utmost to restrain himself.

The girl’s face instantly turned as red as a little bunny’s; she had just felt the heat of his body. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Her eyes were evasive as well, not daring to lift them to look at him.

Adrian Lancaster said to her in a gentle voice, "This ring is your wedding ring, retrieved from the river. It’s the only thing I found about you."

Faye Turner was shocked upon hearing this.

No one could imagine how complex Adrian Lancaster’s feelings were that day, again confirming she was in the water, and the hope of survival was slim.

She slowly lifted her eyes and, meeting his gaze across a narrow distance, saw the fragility and deep affection settled in his eyes.

To him, this ring holds significant meaning.

Faye’s soft heart was slightly touched.

To find a ring in the river, it must have been a carpet search, akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

Although she said nothing, her heart was indeed shaken.

The man’s well-defined lips turned up slightly as he reached out to rub her damp head, "Be good, I’ll dry your hair for you." Shifting the topic, he wanted her to feel at ease.

He said, "Keep the ring well. Consider it returned to its rightful owner." Then he took her hand and led her to the hairdryer.

Then, adeptly turning it on, Adrian Lancaster helped her dry her hair as he used to.

Faye hadn’t even reacted; she lowered her eyes and, through the flowing strands of hair, looked at the radiant ring on her finger.

She was back—truly back by his side. Adrian Lancaster felt his heart had been filled; it was the greatest gift heaven could offer him.

After drying Faye’s hair, Adrian Lancaster noticed her deliberate avoidance of his gaze and the unease in her heart at that moment.

He understood he was a stranger to her.

"You should rest on the bed first," Adrian Lancaster said gently to her. "I’ll sleep on the armchair tonight; there’s also some reading I want to do."

Speaking this, he turned, opened the wardrobe, took out a small blanket, and gently tossed it onto the armchair, trying to show her how far the bed was.

Then he took his pajamas and walked toward the bathroom without looking back.

The sound of the door closed softly, followed by the cascading sound of water.

Faye turned her gaze to the bathroom, staring for a long time, feeling somewhat... indescribable.

This was his home, yet he couldn’t sleep in the bed? Was it too much?

From the Argent International Airport, the M8962 flight had already taken off, entering a stable flight state.

Today’s flight conditions were excellent, with high visibility.

Dressed meticulously in a suit dress, Ivy Jennings sat by the window in the business class, looking somewhat melancholic at the thousands of lights below outside the window.

This was a bustling city, and the night scene was beautiful.

She once thought the biggest regret in life was: love separated by mountains and seas, mountains, and seas hence cannot be leveled.

Only now does she realize, just because she couldn’t reach it doesn’t mean others can’t.

The sea has boats to cross, the mountains have paths to traverse; both mountains and seas can be leveled, the difficult one is the distance between her and Adrian Lancaster.

Goodbye, Argent.

Goodbye, Adrian.

Goodbye, youth.

She, Ivy Jennings, will not return... Never to return again; she wants to completely bid farewell to the past.

In the master bedroom bathroom of Aqua Flora Residences building 88, unit 2801, the sound of water continued; Adrian Lancaster was still showering.

Faye Turner, with her hair already dried, lowered her gaze, turning the ring on her finger gently; the size was still perfect.

Her face seemed calm, but her heart was actually heavy with complexity. He loved her so much; how should she repay him?
