However, their attitude actually made Nina Sinclair feel a lot more at ease; she wasn’t as nervous and awkward as before.
At this moment, Mrs. Lancaster laughed and said meaningfully, "Nina, your dad and I don’t really want much now, just hope he could find a wife and maybe have a child."
Ha, Nina Sinclair almost spat blood.
Why are they suddenly talking about having children?
Mrs. Lancaster’s expression was gentle as she smiled, "We’re both retired now and have plenty of free time, so we can help you take care of the child."
While Nina was in a tough spot, Julian Lancaster came to her rescue considerately.
He said softly, "Mom, it’s too early to talk about this now."
"Alright, alright, I know you young people like to enjoy your time together, it’s not too late to have kids in a couple of years."
The topic of children finally passed, and Nina felt much more relaxed.
She was just about to give Julian a look, hinting to find an excuse to leave, when Mrs. Lancaster spoke again, "Tomorrow’s the weekend, why don’t you both come over for dinner? We just got back from traveling, so it’ll be like welcoming us home."
"Uh..." Nina hesitated.
She really had nothing to do over the weekend, but given her current relationship with Julian, it might not be appropriate to have dinner?
Before she could refuse, Julian chimed in, "Okay, we’ll come back tomorrow."
Nina: "..." She hadn’t agreed yet, hey!
"Oh, that’s great! Nina, what do you like to eat? I’ll cook for you tomorrow. Can you eat spicy food?"
The Lancaster parents were already enthusiastically asking.
Although the Lancaster family was wealthy, Mrs. Lancaster had a gentle temperament and was quite down-to-earth. During their travels abroad, because she wasn’t used to foreign food, she often cooked herself, and now having just returned, she hadn’t thought too much about it.
However, her behavior matched Julian Lancaster’s identity even more.
Nina didn’t expect Julian to agree on her behalf without consulting her.
Looking at Mrs. Lancaster’s expectant expression, she wanted to refuse but couldn’t bring herself to say it, so she could only respond reluctantly, "Anything is fine, I’m not picky."
Next, Mrs. Lancaster asked a lot of questions, nearly overwhelming Nina to the point where she could barely handle it, so she made an excuse of needing the bathroom to get a break.
She apologized slightly, "Sorry, I need to use the restroom."
"The bathroom is over there." Mrs. Lancaster pointed to the door next to the kitchen.
Nina stood up and went to open the door, but found it wasn’t a bathroom at all, just a storage room.
Mrs. Lancaster coughed awkwardly and said, "Daughter-in-law, you opened the wrong door, I meant the one next to it."
Nina went over and opened the next door, and this time it really was the bathroom.
Once she went in and closed the door, Mr. Lancaster lowered his voice, "You were just talking about me getting it wrong, and you messed up too."
Mrs. Lancaster huffed, "Now’s not the time to bicker about that, we need to figure out how to stabilize our daughter-in-law’s situation."
After saying that, she looked at Julian Lancaster and asked, "Julian, are you really going to divorce your wife?" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet
"Yeah." Julian replied briefly and indifferently.
Mrs. Lancaster slapped Julian in dissatisfaction, "You youngster, you clearly have feelings for each other, so why divorce? Couples argue in the heat of the moment, but it’s normal to make up, do you want to drive your dad and me nuts?"
"She doesn’t like me."
Nina prefers Ethan Sherman and has even moved to live with Ethan.
Mrs. Lancaster said, "How do you know she doesn’t like you? Have you asked?"
