The next morning, sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains into the room, illuminating the two people on the bed, closely entwined together.
Nina Sinclair had actually woken up early, but she wanted to stay with Julian Lancaster a little longer.
She couldn’t believe that she had really done it with Julian Lancaster!
At this moment, Nina Sinclair had her back to Julian, so she couldn’t see his expression, nor did she know what he was thinking. All she could feel was his strong and firm hand resting on her waist, the warmth spreading from behind her.
She also felt his faint breaths against her neck, as if she could see Julian Lancaster just by turning her head slightly.
Nina Sinclair took a deep breath, her eyes gradually becoming resolute.
She moved slightly but found it quite uncomfortable, yet she had no time to worry about that.
Just as Nina wanted to get up, Julian suddenly tightened his grip on her, preventing her from getting up, "I’ll call in sick for you, take a day to rest at home."
"..." Nina’s train of thought was interrupted, almost losing her resolve.
Her body indeed felt uncomfortable and needed a good rest; last night they had been incredibly reckless, influenced not only by the drugs but also her longing for Julian...
As the vivid details surfaced in her mind, Nina’s cheeks reddened.
Quickly, she dismissed the chaotic thoughts in her mind. The most important thing now was not that, but what she had to say to Julian.
She had to confess to Julian!
Nina moved Julian’s hand away seriously, "No, I have something important to do."
With that, she wrapped herself in the quilt and fled to the bathroom to wash up.
By the time Nina returned to the room after getting ready, Julian was already up, wearing a black bathrobe, looking energetic, and sipping coffee on the sofa.
Nina clenched her palms and then walked over to Julian, sitting down beside him.
She took a deep breath, cautiously saying, "Julian, I have something very important to confess to you."
Nina didn’t dare to look up at Julian, fearing to see a disdainful expression on his face, but she had him last night, wasn’t that enough?
Nina summoned up her courage once more.
With a sad voice, she spoke with a hint of self-mockery, "That day when Sharon and I went to Goldenleaf Manor for the debutante gathering, your sister set me up, and I was drugged. I was saved by someone... he... she took away my first time, that person was..."
After pausing, Nina clenched her fists angrily, "It was Vincent Lancaster!"
She finally revealed the secret buried in her heart to Julian, and from now on she won’t have to endure such torment anymore.
While feeling relieved, Nina also felt a sense of loss deep down. Follow current novᴇls on NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet
"Julian, whether you want to divorce me or get angry, none of this was my choice. I let you down. Whatever decision you make, I won’t blame you. Let’s just be ."
After speaking, Nina covered her face with her hands, tears already streaming down her face.
This moment felt even more painful than when Vincent dumped her.
Unbeknownst to her, she had long since fallen deeply for the man before her, and separating felt like tearing out her heart.
Julian frowned slightly upon hearing this.
It took a while for him to realize what Nina had just said.
He looked up at Nina, his eyes appearing somewhat complex and bizarre, "You said you were violated by Vincent at Goldenleaf Manor?"
"Yes." Nina did not defend herself, standing there to face the judgment.
Although she was drugged and her mind was unclear at the time, the outcome wouldn’t change, and she had nothing to absolve herself from.
Julian asked, "Who told you this?"
