Julian Lancaster lifted his gaze to Nina Sinclair and asked, "Which girlfriend?"
Nina Sinclair’s face froze.
Does that mean he has many girlfriends? Could there be other women besides Miss Xander?
Since it was already out in the open, Nina Sinclair no longer hesitated. She simply said, "I saw everything with you and Miss Xander!"
Upon hearing Miss Xander’s name, Julian Lancaster frowned slightly.
Nina Sinclair continued, "That day you two went to The Flavor Crucible and had a couple’s meal, and later, on the day of Vincent Lancaster’s engagement party, you didn’t come because you were going to have dinner with her..."
After saying this, she felt a sense of sudden clarity.
It was as if the repressed emotions of these days were suddenly released, and her whole being felt lighter.
She didn’t understand why Julian Lancaster, clearly having a girlfriend, would show her such an ambiguous attitude.
If Julian Lancaster continued , she might find it increasingly hard to extricate herself from him.
So she had to stop all of this and cut off the budding feelings in her heart.
Nina Sinclair never expected that after experiencing Vincent Lancaster’s infidelity and betrayal, she would fall for someone else so quickly, even if she wasn’t sure if this attraction was based on emotion and might suddenly disappear.
After listening to Nina Sinclair’s words, Julian Lancaster recalled what happened before he went on a business trip.
His grandfather had arranged for a woman to come for a blind date with him, they went to a restaurant, and that woman presumptuously ordered a couple’s meal; later he left without even eating.
That woman didn’t have the surname Xander, what was her name again?
Did Nina Sinclair see them that day?
And Miss Xander, he hadn’t even met her at all.
Julian Lancaster blinked and explained, "You’ve misunderstood. Let me be clear: I don’t have a girlfriend, and I have no relationship with Miss Xander." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet
"How is that possible, when that day you clearly..."
"It was a blind date arranged by my family. I didn’t go to meet her; that delay was the reason I was late that day."
Could she have misunderstood?
Wait! Nina Sinclair suddenly furrowed her brows tightly and asked, "A match arranged by family? Didn’t you say you were an orphan?"
Julian Lancaster: "...Because they always arranged blind dates for me, I cut ties with them and said I was an orphan to others."
He lied without hesitation.
Not to deliberately deceive Nina Sinclair, but to avoid worsening the situation for himself.
Previously, due to a misunderstanding, Nina Sinclair had mistaken him for being a father, so he didn’t reveal his real identity to her.
Now he was in a deadlock.
What Sharon Lancaster said earlier wasn’t wrong.
Although he had dealt with Nina Sinclair’s "white moonlight," if she found out he used his status to drive that man away, would she turn against him?
Julian Lancaster couldn’t afford to take that risk, so he chose to let the mistake stand.
After listening, Nina Sinclair rubbed her forehead. Could it really be like that? Julian Lancaster is too willful!
A moment later, she cautiously asked, "Do you really have no feelings for them at all? I think they look quite beautiful, and they seem to come from well-off families."
She had only glanced quickly that day, but she noticed that woman was wearing a designer dress, clearly from a wealthy family.
With Julian Lancaster’s background, surely he felt at least a bit tempted, wanting an easier life?
"No." He didn’t hesitate at all.
Seeing Julian Lancaster’s earnest expression, Nina Sinclair believed him.
As expected, she misunderstood Julian Lancaster; he didn’t have a girlfriend.
"Then... do you have someone you like?" After hesitating for a moment, Nina Sinclair still asked the question.
She looked at Julian Lancaster, waiting for his answer.
Nina Sinclair’s hand nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, and even her breathing slowed for a moment.
