Sharon Lancaster said earnestly, "Yeah, wasn’t it because Nina Sinclair betrayed you by being with Ethan Sherman, which is why you were sulking and drinking?"
Julian Lancaster was somewhat speechless. What on earth was Sharon thinking?
When was Nina Sinclair with Ethan Sherman?
Julian Lancaster took a deep breath, "She didn’t." But judging by the situation, it might be soon.
"Huh?" Sharon suddenly widened her eyes, feeling like she’d gone from hell to heaven in an instant.
Nina Sinclair isn’t with Ethan Sherman?
Then why did he return to the Lancaster family looking like his wife ran off with someone else, drinking alone? It made her think Nina Sinclair, her sister-in-law, was really gone!
In a flash, Sharon was energized once again.
At this moment, Julian Lancaster stepped forward and asked Nina Sinclair, "Can you drive?"
Julian Lancaster handed the car keys to Nina Sinclair.
He had been drinking and it wasn’t convenient for him to drive.
Even after Julian Lancaster’s car drove away from the Lancaster Residence, Sharon was still in a state of shock, feeling like she was dreaming.
Tonight had been a most turbulent night; she was nearly frightened to death. Thankfully, it was just a false alarm.
The car was smoothly driving on the road, with Julian Lancaster sitting in the passenger seat, his head lazily resting on the headrest, looking somewhat unwell.
Nina Sinclair asked, "Are you drunk?"
Julian Lancaster was actually quite fine, but hearing the concern in Nina Sinclair’s tone suddenly made him feel better, so he instinctively didn’t refute her.
Nina Sinclair thought he was too uncomfortable to speak.
She continued, "We’re almost home. I’ll make you some hangover soup in a bit."
Subsequently, Nina Sinclair slightly increased her speed.
Soon, they returned to Royal Vista Estates.
After entering, Nina Sinclair went into the kitchen to start making the hangover soup.
Julian Lancaster sat on the sofa, watching her busy figure in the kitchen, his eyes filled with puzzlement.
Wasn’t Nina Sinclair and Ethan Sherman’s love unbreakable? Then why was she still showing such concern for him?
Didn’t she know that this would make him even more reluctant to let go?
Before long, Nina Sinclair carefully carried out a bowl of hangover soup.
Julian Lancaster immediately continued to half-close his eyes, pretending to be drunk.
Seeing him , Nina Sinclair thought that this assistant job was really tough, having to drink himself into such a state in the middle of the night.
How harmful it was to the stomach and body!
Her eyes showed a hint of distress as she asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Julian Lancaster slowly opened his eyes, meeting Nina Sinclair’s gaze with his deep eyes. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
Her shiny black hair was tucked behind her ears, revealing a delicate, fair face. Her clear eyes showed genuine concern.
Julian Lancaster quietly gazed for a moment before replying softly, "Hmm, I’m fine."
"Then have some hangover soup; maybe you’ll feel a bit better."
Nina Sinclair placed the bowl in front of him.
Julian Lancaster didn’t speak, his eyes dark and unfathomable, lost in thought.
A moment later, he drank some with Nina Sinclair’s hand holding the bowl.
Once the hangover soup was finished, Nina Sinclair had just placed the bowl on the nearby table when she was unexpectedly enveloped in a tight embrace.
She was shrouded in Julian Lancaster’s presence, stunned and puzzled by his actions.
"Julian... Julian Lancaster?"
"Don’t move, let me hold you for a moment."
Nina Sinclair dared not move, her mind flooded with thoughts of what Julian Lancaster was doing.
Was he acting clingy because of the alcohol?
Or did he simply want to hold her?
Of course, Nina Sinclair didn’t believe it was the latter; he was surely drunk and mistaking her for a pillow.
Yes! That had to be it!
Julian Lancaster’s head was nestled against her neck, with his hand gently wrapped around her waist, appearing extremely attached to her.
Nina Sinclair’s heart suddenly began to race.
Her mind had gone blank, letting him hold her without a fuss.
A moment later, Julian Lancaster’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear, saying, "Let’s void our contract. I’ll set you free."
