Moira Kendall saw Julian Lancaster and smiled warmly.
She softly said, "Julian, what brings you here? Have you eaten? Your grandfather is in a bad mood and feeling a bit unwell."
Moira Kendall was subtly reminding Julian Lancaster that Old Master Lancaster was in a bad mood, urging him to be mindful when speaking to avoid upsetting him further and worsening his condition.
Julian Lancaster nodded slightly and sat on the sofa across from Old Master Lancaster.
Then, he looked up at Old Master Lancaster and asked with concern, "Grandfather, are you feeling unwell? Should we call a doctor to check on you?"
Old Master Lancaster retorted, "I’ll feel better once you get a divorce."
Seeing that Old Master Lancaster still had the energy to be angry, Julian Lancaster realized he wasn’t genuinely ill. It seemed this was about him and Nina Sinclair—he had come at the perfect time.
He remained calm and said, "Grandfather, I came here today to talk to you about my situation."
Upon hearing Julian’s words, Old Master Lancaster looked displeased.
He snorted coldly, "You still haven’t divorced by now. Is there something going on? I want to hear what unavoidable reasons you have for being entangled with that woman!"
Julian Lancaster did not back down and said firmly, "I’ve decided not to divorce."
"Nonsense!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
Although Old Master Lancaster was somewhat prepared, he was still furious, trembling all over upon hearing Julian’s words.
He glared at Julian and said, "Is this why you kept misleading me? I think you never intended to divorce that woman from the start!"
Seeing Old Master Lancaster’s livid expression, Julian confessed, "Earlier, I truly intended to divorce, but I’ve changed my mind. I’m certain I want her. Nina is the only girl I wish to spend my life with."
"What’s so good about her that you cling to her ?" Old Master Lancaster was infuriated.
Julian knew he couldn’t persuade Old Master Lancaster, so he chose to remain silent; explaining Nina’s virtues wasn’t something that could be done in a few words.
After a brief pause, he said, "She’s truly wonderful. I hope you’ll accept her. If it’s her family’s background that you’re worried about, then I believe you needn’t be concerned."
Upon hearing Julian’s words, Old Master Lancaster calmed down.
He squinted and asked suspiciously, "Did our investigation miss something? Is she from a prestigious family we didn’t uncover?"
Despite being confident in his abilities, Old Master Lancaster still felt he might have overlooked something.
Julian recalled the words Ethan Sherman had said to him.
Although Nina Sinclair had a falling out with the Sinclair Family, she was still their kin, possessing knowledge and heritage that should meet the old master’s standards.
Returning to Crestfall, Julian intended to frankly tell Old Master Lancaster that Nina Sinclair was not an ordinary person, hoping to gain his approval.
After considering for a moment, Julian said, "Nina has a high level of education and capabilities that are on par with any heiress you’ve previously chosen. If you’re searching for a well-bred heiress, then I believe Nina is extremely suitable."
He paused briefly and continued, "Among the heiresses of Crestfall, none can compare with her."
Julian was very confident about this.
Old Master Lancaster’s eyes narrowed.
Julian was indeed speaking boldly, daring to utter such words.
Realizing he was somewhat swayed, Old Master Lancaster’s expression hardened again, and he said coldly, "I don’t believe it! What kind of outstanding woman can come from such a background? In any case, I won’t agree to let that woman in."
