Ethan’s mother saw Nina Sinclair looking innocent and couldn’t bear to say anything, so she quickly signaled Ethan’s father with a glance.
The two of them simultaneously showed expressions of helplessness. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt
It seemed that Nina Sinclair’s intentions were very resolute, and they couldn’t persuade her anymore.
Ethan’s mother nudged Ethan’s father, "Alright, don’t keep a stern face all the time, it’s scaring Nina so much she doesn’t know what to say."
Then, the two of them changed the subject and started talking about Nina Sinclair’s recent situation.
Although the Sherman Family and the Sinclair Family had fallen out, Ethan’s father was still keeping an eye on everything related to the Sinclair Family. He talked about how Byron Sinclair was gradually handing over the Sinclair Family to Ruby Sinclair, indicating she would inherit the family business in the future.
Byron Sinclair only had two daughters, Nina and Ruby Sinclair.
With Nina and Byron Sinclair having fallen out, only Ruby Sinclair was left, and with Hazel Lennox’s influence, naturally, the Sinclair Family would be handed to Ruby Sinclair.
It was precisely because of the rift between the Sherman Family and the Sinclair Family that Ethan’s father wanted to talk to Nina about this.
Because part of the Sinclair Group’s equity belonged to Madeline Sherman, even though she hadn’t managed these things since she became a vegetative state after the car accident.
However, Ethan’s father always felt they couldn’t freely let others have these things; those were belonging to Nina Sinclair. Previously, Nina was too young, and discussing these topics seemed too heavy.
Now that she had grown up, it was time for her to take back what belonged to her.
Ethan’s father said, "Back then, the dowry the Sherman Family gave your mother wasn’t small, and now part of Sinclair Group’s equity belongs to you. When you have a chance, you should go back to the Sinclair Family. We are not greedy for these things, but we don’t want others to take them."
Nina Sinclair fell silent; she hadn’t made up her mind.
Returning to the Sinclair Family would inevitably involve Hazel Lennox and Ruby Sinclair again, and she felt she needed to mentally prepare more.
"I’ll think about it."
Ethan’s father didn’t force it anymore, just reminded Nina Sinclair of this matter to let her be mentally prepared.
After that, they stopped discussing this topic.
Unconsciously, they stayed together in the hospital room until the afternoon when Nina Sinclair realized time had passed. Julian Lancaster might have finished his work and returned to the apartment by now; she needed to go back, lest Julian wait too long.
"Uncle, Aunt, I need to go back now. Tomorrow, I’m going back to Veridia. If there’s anything, remember to contact me."
"Alright, stay safe."
After saying goodbye to Ethan’s father and mother, Nina Sinclair left the hospital room.
After she left, Ethan Sherman asked in confusion, "Mom, Dad, you’re really strange. Weren’t you here to see Nina? Why did you say all kinds of weird things when you met her?"
Ethan’s father and mother exchanged a glance and simultaneously forced a smile.
How should they start, telling Nina Sinclair about her mother and the Lancaster Family?
Originally, when it came to business interactions and such, Ethan’s father had no objections. After all, both Crestfall’s affluent families, you inevitably run into each other, it’s impossible not to have any connection at all, but unfortunately, Nina Sinclair’s chosen partner was Julian Lancaster!
He admired that man, but it didn’t mean he wanted Nina Sinclair to marry him!
Ethan’s father looked solemn, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "Nina Sinclair can marry anyone, but she can’t marry a Lancaster."
These words left Ethan Sherman puzzled, and he asked, "Why? Haven’t you always complimented Julian Lancaster, saying he’s amazing and a role model for us youngsters?"
Ethan’s father shot Ethan Sherman a look, "I do admire the young man, because you’re a guy, obviously there’s no way you could marry into his family, all those things I said were just jokes, you really took them seriously?"
But when it’s about Nina Sinclair, the situation is different.
Ethan Sherman snapped out of it, feeling his curiosity piqued, and urgently asked, "Then why exactly can’t Nina marry a Lancaster? Dad, you should explain it clearly!"
