That night, Nina Sinclair started packing her things.
Since she was going to separate from Julian Lancaster, she shouldn’t stay here anymore. However, for a moment she was at a loss, not knowing where she should go or where she belonged.
Her eyes started to sting again, and Nina quickly suppressed her thoughts.
At night, Sharon Lancaster drove to the bar.
Julian Lancaster knew that Nina Sinclair had been kidnapped by Penelope Lancaster, and of course Sharon knew too. She wanted to follow Julian to rescue her, but Julian asked her not to cause trouble.
Later, she saw Julian return.
He simply said that he and Nina were over, then went into his room, and no matter how much she knocked, it was useless. Sharon was extremely anxious and immediately went to find Nina to clarify the situation. Learning that she was at the bar, she rushed over.
When Sharon went inside, she saw Nina sitting alone at the bar. Her figure looked lonely and desolate, with a frailness that tugged at the heart.
Nina was drinking silently by herself.
Her jet-black hair hung loosely behind her, lazily leaning on the bar, appearing inexplicably seductive; someone nearby was already eager to approach her.
Sharon couldn’t afford to worry about much, she hurried forward, "Nina, what are you doing? Let’s go home."
Hearing Sharon mention going home, a moment of confusion flickered in Nina’s eyes.
She laughed lightly with a bit of irony, "I don’t have a home." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet
The Sinclair Family wasn’t her home. She had left it a long time ago. Where she lived with Julian Lancaster was also not her home. She and Julian were getting a divorce—where did she have a home to return to?
"Oh! I have another house elsewhere, you can come to my place. This bar doesn’t seem very safe, let’s go."
She hadn’t brought bodyguards with her today, and Nina was so strikingly beautiful, with many men around looking covetously. What if she got drunk later?
Sharon had to consider their safety, and this was not a good place to talk either. Nina didn’t retort, as she had already drunk quite a bit before Sharon arrived, her mind somewhat numb and her reactions much slower.
"Let’s go." Sharon pulled Nina to leave.
Julian Lancaster was at the Lancaster Family home; it wasn’t convenient for Sharon to take Nina there, so she directly took her to one of her own houses.
Someone usually comes to clean this place, and Sharon occasionally stays here.
The two entered the living room, and Nina staggered toward the sofa, collapsing onto it, looking completely devoid of energy.
Sharon sat down beside her, glanced at Nina, her eyes filled with worry, and asked, "Nina, what happened between you and...Julian Lancaster?"
Nina remained silent, not speaking.
A moment later, she said softly, "We’re getting a divorce."
Sharon’s eyebrows knitted tightly, "Why are you getting a divorce? Did you find out something?"
At this point, Sharon couldn’t help but suspect that Nina, having been taken by Penelope Lancaster, might have discovered Julian Lancaster’s true identity, becoming so furious at his deceit that she decided to divorce him.
This was all her fault!
From the beginning, she shouldn’t have kept things hidden, but one mistake after another led to this irreparable situation.
Sharon grabbed Nina’s hand, her face full of pity, and said, "Nina, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. Julian Lancaster is my brother..."
