A moment later, Nina Sinclair composed herself and stepped out of the bathroom. In the living room of the apartment, Julian Lancaster was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
As Nina walked toward him, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Who would come this early?
With some curiosity, she went to open the door and saw Sharon Lancaster standing outside.
Today, Sharon wore light makeup, her features refreshingly elegant. She was dressed in sporty casual wear, with her hair tied into a ponytail at the back, looking youthful and lively.
"Sharon, why are you here?"
With a big smile on her face, she walked forward and linked arms with Nina, saying, "Nina, yesterday we really slapped that scumbag Vincent Lancaster in the face. We should celebrate our victory today, so let’s go have fun!"
"Have fun? But Julian and I..." Nina hesitated.
Today, she was supposed to divorce Julian; where would she find the time to have fun?
"Oh, no buts, quickly go change your clothes! I’ve already arranged everything. We’re going for a picnic camping trip, and you and your husband should come along and enjoy."
With a face full of helplessness, Nina shook her head and said, "He’s not..."
Before she could refuse on Julian’s behalf, Julian stepped forward from behind and whispered, "I’ll drive."
Sharon laughed and said, "Great, then let’s get going!"
Thus, Nina found herself dazedly being coaxed into the car, embarking on a spontaneous camping trip.
That top-notch luxury car from yesterday seemed to have been returned by Julian; today, he was driving that same inconspicuous regular car for commuting.
Camping naturally involves going grocery shopping for a cookout.
Sharon had experience in this area; she had Julian park at a market and took both of them down for a shopping spree, with them just following behind to carry the goods.
During intervals of Sharon picking items, Nina leaned close to Julian and whispered, "If you don’t want to go, you can refuse. I can tell Sharon, and she won’t blame you."
She thought with Julian’s status, he might feel awkward refusing their hostess, which was why he didn’t refuse Sharon.
But she was different; she was good friends with Sharon, so it was alright for her to speak up.
Nina silently sighed in her heart. Originally, they were supposed to get divorced today, but unexpected events happened; it was somewhat frustrating.
Seeing Nina’s anxious expression, Julian slowly said, "Who said I don’t want to go?"
What? He wants to go?
Nina looked at Julian in shock, but he was already walking forward with Sharon.
Ultimately, with a face full of frustration, she followed along carrying the items.
After putting everything in the trunk, Sharon began checking if they had all the items they needed and stood at the trunk muttering to herself: "Tent, medicines, sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats, mosquito repellent, lighter..."
After counting everything once, she was reassured and said, "Everything is in order, let’s head out now."
Camping meant camping outdoors, requiring tents for an overnight stay. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt
Nina originally wanted to say something, but seeing Julian also immersed in the moment, she suddenly fell silent.
To be honest, she was reluctant to divorce him, and delaying it for a couple of days to let her emotions settle wasn’t a bad idea.
She might as well pretend not to know...
With this thought in mind, Nina stopped worrying and was relieved to let Sharon take them for some fun.
