Julian Lancaster was driving the car towards Royal Vista Estates, and neither of them spoke along the way; the atmosphere in the car was exceptionally awkward.
When they returned to Royal Vista Estates, it was already ten o’clock at night.
Nina Sinclair went straight to take a shower with her clothes, while Julian Lancaster sat on the sofa outside, feeling the need to talk to Nina.
A moment later, Nina emerged from the bathroom in her home outfit, immediately spotting Julian sitting on the sofa, apparently waiting for her.
After thinking it over, Nina decided not to avoid it; she walked over directly, "Are you waiting for me?"
It must be about the divorce, Julian’s aunt disapproved of her, and he didn’t like her either. After such a big argument yesterday, he probably couldn’t wait to get rid of her now.
Nina’s face turned a bit pale, trying to maintain some dignity; she couldn’t be dumped by two men in a row!
Before Julian could speak, she preemptively said, "I’ve thought it over, and I think we should divorce."
As soon as she finished speaking, Julian’s face darkened suddenly.
A hard protective layer appeared on Nina’s face, determination slowly emerging in her eyes, as if she’d made some decision.
She said solemnly, "Our marriage was a joke from the beginning, and since it hasn’t led to any negative consequences, as for the contract compensation you mentioned, you don’t need to worry. I won’t default, and I’ll try my best to pay you back."
After finishing these words, Nina seemed weak as if she had been through a catastrophe.
Only God knows how difficult it was for her to make such a decision, but she had no other choice.
Previously when she was with Vincent, Yvette also didn’t like her.
She knows well how painful it is not to be liked by elders, so rather than suffering in the future, it’s better to end it sooner.
It might be painful, but it’s better to endure short-term pain than prolonged agony.
Anyway, she and Julian hadn’t even started a relationship, so there wasn’t any loss.
Julian asked coldly, "How are you going to pay back the money? Borrow from Ethan?"
He was somewhat angry actually; didn’t Nina understand that owing a man money was equivalent to owing a huge favor, which could later be used against her to coerce her into doing anything?
Did she think everyone was like him?
Someone like Ethan, with no credibility, wouldn’t show her any mercy!
Nina said, "You don’t need to worry. I’ll give you the money back anyway."
A feeling of powerlessness surged in Julian’s heart.
He thought that after his efforts, he could bring Nina back from Ethan, but it turned out that it was all just his own delusion.
Nina had no intention of changing her mind.
In the end, she still wanted to leave him.
Earlier, he had prepared a whole lot of things to say, intending to apologize for his aunt’s abruptness and seek her forgiveness, but Nina didn’t want to hear any of his explanations; she outright asked to leave.
Nina still chose to return to Ethan’s arms.
In that case, what’s the point of forcing her to stay?
He tensed up, using all his strength to suppress his emotions, and after a moment of silence, he said hoarsely, "Alright, I agree."
After saying this, Julian stood up and directly opened the door to leave.
This time, Nina didn’t chase after him like she did last night; she just sat on the sofa, exhausted, watching Julian close the door and leave.
It wasn’t until the room quieted that her tears finally couldn’t help but fall.
This crush that hadn’t even begun to bud ended; she and Julian ended without a conclusion. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
