Nina Sinclair’s face turned a few shades paler. Could it be that Sharon Lancaster messed up the marriage certificate?
Her little head was racing with thoughts.
Initially, she asked Sharon to get a fake marriage certificate to avoid being looked down upon by Sierra Sinclair and Vincent Lancaster. Now, due to an unexpected twist, she was truly married, and it felt like she was dreaming.
Just as Nina was lost in doubt, her phone vibrated on the table — it was a message from Sierra Sinclair.
It showed a joyous photograph of Sierra in her wedding dress, looking intimate with Vincent Lancaster.
"I’m getting engaged to Vincent on the 15th of next month. You must come!"
Upon seeing the message, Nina let out a cold laugh.
Just because she hadn’t given Vincent her first time, he had immediately turned to her best friend, engaging in a secret affair until they notified her about their engagement.
Three days ago, Vincent had deceived her into believing he wanted to marry her, and she stupidly believed him, actually coming over to marry him.
They are really something!
Being provoked by a scumbag and a two-faced friend, a resolute look gradually emerged in Nina’s eyes. What harm is there in embracing the mistake and going along with it?
She refused to be bullied by these two people!
Normally, she wasn’t someone who would rashly enter into a flash marriage.
But the man in front of her was brought by Sharon, he worked for the Lancaster Family, so there was nothing to worry about in terms of safety. Her marriage certificate with him was real, so there was no fear of being found out.
Looking at Julian Lancaster, Nina gathered her courage and said, "Alright! Since we’ve accidentally gotten married, let’s set some ground rules!"
Five minutes later, a document was handed to Nina.
Julian was sitting opposite her, relaxed and at ease, exuding an elegant and noble aura. He patiently waited for Nina to finish reading the contract.
Nina looked at each clause in the contract, frowning more with each line.
Finally, she pointed at one of the clauses and asked, "What does it mean by ’when necessary, I must fulfill the duties of a wife’?"
Does that duty mean he has the legal right to sleep with her?
Julian’s sharp eyes looked calmly at Nina, speaking unhurriedly, "It means exactly what it says. You must fulfill your obligations as Madam Lancaster."
Grandfather might come or send someone to evaluate them. Even though they were fake married, Nina had to perform her part as his wife and help him deal with his grandfather.
Hearing Julian’s words, Nina felt she was right in her assumption.
This man really wanted a legitimate reason to sleep with her!
Due to family reasons and some psychological factors, she had only agreed with Vincent to be physically intimate after they got married.
Now, she wasn’t very familiar with this man either. They had just met for the first time. Although they accidentally got married, to suddenly progress to this step felt too fast, and she couldn’t quite accept it.
Nina began to have second thoughts, feeling an urge to retreat and escape.
She put down the contract, "How about... let’s just forget it. Let’s go to the registry office tomorrow and annul this ridiculous marriage."
Finding someone else to impersonate Julian didn’t seem impossible either.
"Why?" Julian asked.
"I feel like we don’t know each other well, and there’s no emotional foundation, getting married like this is too hasty," Nina racked her brain for various reasons.
In truth, she was mainly afraid of giving herself away.
Julian remained calm and composed, patiently persuading, "There are many couples who marry without love. Feelings can be cultivated."
Moreover, their marriage was contractual, and plenty of people wanted to be married to him, Julian Lancaster, but he didn’t see what Nina had to worry about.
After a pause, he asked in a negotiating tone, "Is there something you’re worried about?"
