Nina Sinclair was in a daze when Julian Lancaster took her upstairs.
It was only when Julian took out the key from her pocket and opened her apartment door that she suddenly snapped back to her senses.
How did Julian know which apartment she lived in?
While she was puzzled, the door to the room had already been opened, and Julian led her into the apartment, acting as if he owned the place, and sat down on the sofa.
Nina stood there awkwardly, her hands nervously fidgeting with each other, unsure of what to say.
Right now, she felt a sense of panic as if she had been caught having an affair.
Even though this wasn’t something she did intentionally, betraying Julian was a fact.
"Nina, scared out of your wits?" Julian saw Nina frozen in place, stood up, walked over, and embraced her, gently patting her back to reassure her, "It’s all over now, don’t be afraid."
Nina buried her head in Julian’s chest, feeling even more at a loss.
So, did he hear the conversation she had with Vincent Lancaster just now? If he knew about the things that accidentally happened with Vincent at Goldenleaf Manor...
Their marriage had started off strangely, and even now, it wasn’t very strong. A small storm could easily break them apart.
Suddenly, Nina gathered her energy again.
No! It might not have been Vincent.
She hadn’t been able to find out who the owner of Goldenleaf Manor was, and until she had solid evidence, she wouldn’t believe it was Vincent.
Nina felt that comforting herself was wrong, self-deceiving even.
But without this bit of faith, she feared her heart might collapse.
Hearing Julian’s strong and steady heartbeat, Nina’s panic gradually calmed down. Since he was still holding her without any hint of disdain, he probably hadn’t heard what Vincent said.
"Feeling better?" Julian asked.
It was then that Nina came back to her senses. She looked up at him from his embrace, "Julian, how is your grandfather doing?"
"He’s fine now, still capable of getting angry, so very healthy."
Hearing that Grandfather Lancaster was furious, Nina immediately realized something.
Her face turned pale, "Is it because of me?"
At that moment, Nina’s mind was in chaos, and she felt a faint regret for leaving early.
If Julian’s grandfather truly disliked her that much, could she and Julian continue?
Noticing Nina’s downcast mood, Julian softly said, "Nina, you don’t need to worry. My grandfather won’t affect any of my decisions. We’ve already registered our marriage, and nothing can change that."
He was reassuring Nina, telling her that he wouldn’t change anything because of any outside force.
Nina was his legally wedded wife, an unchangeable fact.
Hearing his words, Nina felt a wave of emotion in her heart.
Suddenly, she felt a bit guilty. Her decision to flee the hospital earlier was really unnecessary. She was just afraid that she would be abandoned if she was disliked.
A moment later, Nina asked, "Is your grandfather still in the hospital?"
Julian replied, "Yes, he will be staying for a couple of days for observation."
Nina bit her lip lightly, making a decision. She said, "Then I’ll go visit him tomorrow."
Although Julian’s grandfather was displeased with her, they were now husband and wife. She had to face Grandfather Lancaster and couldn’t avoid it out of fear.
Julian responded in a low voice, "Okay, I’ll go with you." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet
