Julian Lancaster seemed as though he hadn’t heard Old Master Lancaster’s words just now, and spoke calmly, "Grandpa, Nina and I have come to see you."
After speaking, he led Nina Sinclair in by the hand.
Old Master Lancaster turned his head to see Nina standing next to Julian, and his face instantly soured.
Yesterday, this woman ran off while he was hospitalized. Even Heidi Leighton came to show concern for his condition. Everyone had already visited him, and she only thought to come now, without a hint of sincerity!
Nina noticed Old Master Lancaster’s disdain.
She was aware that her actions yesterday must have displeased him, deepening her regret.
Julian placed the fruit basket on the bedside table and said to Nina, "Nina, arrange the flowers, please."
Initially standing there unsure of what to say, Julian’s words undoubtedly relieved her. She took the flowers out to find a vase and water.
Only then did Old Master Lancaster express his displeasure, "Why did you bring that woman here!"
Julian curled his lips slightly, as if ignoring Old Master Lancaster’s dissatisfaction, and said, "Grandpa, Nina is your granddaughter-in-law. Isn’t it appropriate for me to bring her to see you?"
Listening to Julian play dumb, Old Master Lancaster became even angrier.
Old Madam Lancaster, fearing he would get ill again, quickly stepped forward to gently stroke his back and said, "Alright, don’t be upset. Do you want to stay in the hospital longer?"
Remembering Old Madam Lancaster’s earlier words, he naturally did not want to stay in the hospital.
Thus, he turned his face away and grunted, but did not oppose Julian’s words.
Taking advantage of Nina’s absence, Julian said to the two elders, "Grandpa, Grandma, Nina doesn’t know my identity yet. I hope you won’t tell her for now."
Old Madam Lancaster nodded, "Okay, we’ll keep it a secret for you."
"You always spoil him," Old Master Lancaster grumbled at Old Madam Lancaster.
Unable to help herself, Old Madam Lancaster defended Nina, "Nina doesn’t know Julian’s identity and is still willing to be with him. Clearly, she is not a money-driven woman. What exactly are you dissatisfied with her?"
Old Master Lancaster couldn’t quite pinpoint his dissatisfaction. Perhaps it was his preconceived notions; he was full of prejudice against Nina, even though he knew he was stubborn, but Old Master Lancaster would never admit such a thing.
After pondering for a long time, he finally found an excuse.
He whispered, "That woman has no background. Not mentioning the other socialites in Crestfall, she’s not even comparable to Miss Leighton!"
Old Madam Lancaster sighed!
This stubborn man was so stuck in his ways that not even ten bulls could drag him back.
From her brief interaction with Nina, she might not be worse than Heidi Leighton.
Oddly enough, though Nina was without background, her actions at the birthday banquet were in no way inferior to those of any elite heir, and she seemed more composed than any of them she’d seen.
Is that what Old Master Lancaster meant by not comparing to Heidi Leighton?
Old Madam Lancaster said, "Then tell me, aside from family background, does Nina fall short of Heidi Leighton in any way?"
Old Master Lancaster’s face darkened, "You’re just siding with that woman; I can’t be bothered to speak with you!"
Listening to their conversation, Julian furrowed his brows slightly.
He had never told Old Master Lancaster about Nina’s identity as the Sinclair Family’s daughter, and now he reconsidered whether to tell him.
But this matter would still need to be discussed with Nina first, because her relationship with the Sinclair Family wasn’t very good right now, and revealing it might disrupt her life. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
