During dinner, the atmosphere was harmonious.
To fit her role, Mrs. Lancaster smiled and mentioned that she would leave this house to Nina Sinclair and Julian Lancaster in the future, so they wouldn’t have any financial worries.
Actually, she was afraid that Nina might genuinely think Julian was poor and disdain him deep down, which is why she said that. In reality, the wealth they could leave Julian with is beyond Nina’s imagination.
Nina caught the meaning behind Mrs. Lancaster’s words.
She quickly smiled and said that young people can strive on their own and shouldn’t worry about the future, urging them to enjoy a peaceful retirement. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt
At the same time, she became more determined to work hard and avoid being dependent on elders.
After finishing dinner, the three bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster and left.
Julian first took Nina back to Royal Vista Estates, then dropped Sharon Lancaster off at the Lancaster Family home.
The car drove steadily along the road. Sharon was playing on her phone, and suddenly, she seemed to see something important. She leaned forward with a serious expression, "Bro! I have something very important to report!"
"Here’s the situation..." Sharon cleared her throat and said, "My informant at the Lancaster Family tells me that the old man is actually setting up a matchmaking for you! It’s said he’s now looking beyond Crestfall and focusing on Veridia, but who knows who he’ll choose!"
Julian’s brows slightly furrowed.
He didn’t expect that his grandfather still wouldn’t accept Nina.
"However, there aren’t many presentable women in Veridia. It’s uncertain which family’s daughter the old man has taken a liking to. If we knew in advance, we could prepare for it." Sharon mused, touching her chin.
Julian’s eyes darkened, and some memories suddenly surfaced in his mind.
A couple of days ago, Nina suddenly asked about Heidi Leighton. Could it be that his grandfather has approached Justin Leighton’s daughter?
"Heidi Leighton," he said in a deep voice.
"Huh? How do you know?" Sharon exclaimed in surprise.
She racked her brain about Heidi Leighton, whom she had only seen once at a Goldenleaf Manor gathering, but wasn’t very familiar with.
"It might really be Heidi Leighton! After all, the Leighton Family is quite reputable in Veridia. This situation could be tricky. What should we do?"
Julian had no interest in other women and didn’t see this as a threat, as long as he and Nina were fine.
Sharon initially wanted to say something, but seeing Julian’s calm demeanor, she felt there was indeed nothing to worry about.
Other women were nothing to her brother; even ten debuts from the Leighton Family wouldn’t shake Nina’s status.
As if remembering something, Sharon asked, "By the way, when do you plan to tell Nina that you’re my brother?"
For Julian’s happiness, she and her parents had sacrificed much.
Julian was silent for a moment, then said, "Wait a little longer."
At least wait until his relationship with Nina stabilized, then find a chance to tell her, so there wouldn’t be any negative consequences.
After safely sending Sharon home, Julian returned to Royal Vista Estates.
On the way, he reflected on past events.
If things were as Sharon said, and his grandfather had already approached the Leighton Family, perhaps Nina already knew about this.
But she hadn’t made a fuss, only tentatively asking him if he knew Heidi Leighton.
At that time, he didn’t think much of it, but now everything seemed to connect.
Julian’s eyes darkened slightly; Nina not causing a scene meant she hadn’t put him at the forefront of her thoughts.
