Alice Sinclair actually hadn’t liked Ruby Sinclair for a long time. Finally seeing her fail, she wondered what scene it would be when Ruby saw Nina Sinclair show up.
With this in mind, Alice quickly went out to find Nina.
Nina Sinclair and Julian Lancaster were still sitting there. When Alice came in, she couldn’t help but linger her gaze on Julian for a moment. She hadn’t expected Nina to find such a handsome man and wondered what his identity was.
But even if his identity wasn’t significant, that face was enough to make people salivate.
Seeing Alice staring at Julian, Nina’s brows furrowed slightly. Googlᴇ search novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
She asked, "Can we go out now?"
Alice quickly nodded, "Yes, Mom asked me to come get you. Everyone is outside now, and it’s a good time for you to go out."
Nina stood up and said, "Got it."
After thinking for a moment, she turned around and said to Julian, "Why don’t you wait here for me, and I’ll call you when I need you?"
Julian looked at Nina with some concern.
He knew Nina’s status in the Sinclair family wasn’t good, and he felt uneasy about letting her face those family members alone.
Julian worried about Nina, but didn’t Nina worry about Julian as well?
Although Julian was the most outstanding man in the Lancaster family, if he appeared with her, those people in the Sinclair family might try to curry favor with him, which would be endlessly annoying.
She was already moved enough that he accompanied her here.
He didn’t need to encounter any extra unpleasantness.
In the end, under Nina’s insistence, Julian did not go out with her and waited in the lounge for her to return.
"Don’t forget the gift." Julian handed over the item he held in his hand.
Only then did Nina recall that he had prepared a gift for her.
She almost forgot about it earlier, but luckily Julian reminded her. Otherwise, she would have been embarrassed at the banquet if she had forgotten, especially since Ruby’s gift was something from Master Skylar.
However, this gift was only obtained by Julian the day before they left.
She hadn’t had time to open it, so she didn’t know what was inside. Based on her trust in Julian, she brought it directly to the birthday banquet without checking.
To be honest, she didn’t really know what was in it.
Nina picked up the gift and left with Alice.
After the two went out, Alice couldn’t help but ask, "Nina, what does your man do? He looks quite exceptional, could he be from a wealthy family?"
Hearing this obvious probing from Alice, Nina curled her lips into a cold smile.
Julian could certainly face others, but she didn’t want to use him to show off, nor did she have anything to say to her cousin, Alice.
"His job is okay. Cousin, do you have a boyfriend now?"
When the topic of boyfriends came up, Alice’s expression changed slightly, and she quickly laughed it off.
Leah Sinclair had found a rich second-generation heir for her. The heir was good-looking but notoriously flirty, always entangled with women. She was exhausted from catching him cheating, yet she had to pretend to be in love to avoid being laughed at.
Seeing how gentle and caring Nina’s husband was toward her just now, Alice couldn’t help but feel envious.
If that man was wealthy, she’d probably be driven crazy with jealousy!
