Originally, Ethan wanted to ask Julian about the cooperation, but seeing his appearance, he thought it was likely that there were too many things going on recently, and he didn’t want to bring bad luck during someone’s troubled times.
He’s back now, ready for a world just for him and Nina.
Let’s ask about other things next time.
Thinking about this, Ethan stood up and said, "I just remembered I have something to do, I won’t disturb you two, I’m heading back now."
Nina exclaimed, "So soon? Would you like to stay a bit longer? You just arrived and haven’t eaten anything."
Upon hearing Nina’s words, Julian’s face fell, his handsome features tightened slightly.
Is she unwilling to let Ethan go?
Before leaving, Ethan made a gesture to Nina that only the two of them understood, then left the apartment.
Suddenly, there were only Nina, Julian, and Sharon left in the apartment.
For some reason, Nina felt the atmosphere was slightly awkward, and Julian and Sharon’s expressions were a bit peculiar. She decided to ease the tension.
Nina looked towards Sharon and asked, "Sharon, is there anything that you came to see me for? Oh, right, what were you trying to say on the phone just now? I didn’t hear it clearly."
Sharon noticed Julian’s eyes mildly glancing her way, and she instantly shivered.
Nina’s question was undoubtedly telling Julian that she had been passing messages!
She was her brother’s little snitch, how could she help someone else.
Sharon awkwardly smiled and said, "No...nothing, I was just passing by your house, came up to say hi, and now that I’ve said it, I need to go home, bye-bye!"
After saying this, Sharon immediately made her escape.
Although she was very curious about how Julian and Nina would turn out, but since Ethan had left, she felt she was no longer in a position to stay.
Finally, only Nina and Julian were left.
Nina was silent for a while longer, then she looked at Julian and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Julian’s voice was a bit cold and hard, "No."
Upon hearing that Julian had been busy until now without eating, Nina felt incredibly distressed.
She hurriedly went forward to pull him over to the dining table, then let him sit down and said, "Luckily, I cooked some extra today, Ethan barely ate, you can just eat a bit to fill your stomach."
Nina turned around, intending to serve Julian some rice.
Eat Ethan’s leftovers? What did Nina take him for!
Julian directly responded, "I’m not eating."
Since earlier, Nina had sensed Julian’s mood wasn’t great, and now she could no longer ignore it. She put down the bowl she was holding and asked with concern, "You seem to be in a bad mood, why? Did something happen? Can you tell me?"
Nina thought of the things she had looked up online before.
Fulfilling a man’s emotional world, caring more about his life, she planned to become the confidant sister, listening to Julian’s work troubles and helping him relieve emotional issues if necessary.
Julian’s face became serious, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Couldn’t Nina see why his mood wasn’t great?
"Why bring another man home?" Julian said coldly. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt
"Ethan wanted to visit and see the house, so I casually invited him for dinner, is there a problem?" Nina didn’t hide it and told Julian honestly.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, his face looked even worse.
Visit the house? Such a good excuse!
Julian mocked, "He wanted to come, and you let him. If he wanted something else, would you unconditionally agree to that too?"
Thinking about this possibility, Julian couldn’t suppress the fire bubbling up inside him.
Nina helplessly said, "It was indeed wrong of me to bring Ethan back without informing you, I can apologize to you."
Julian looked at her, although she was apologizing on the surface, there wasn’t the slightest sense of remorse in reality, and his face turned even darker.
Actually, Julian couldn’t accept that Ethan was more important to Nina than he was.
Julian gritted his teeth and said, "I don’t need your apology!"
