Byron Sinclair’s eyes showed a look of surprise, but he quickly recovered.
He suddenly stood up from his seat, walked towards Nina Sinclair, and then reached out to hold her in his arms. Nina stiffened for a moment, but eventually did not resist Byron’s embrace.
Her heart was aching, and she indeed needed some comfort right now.
Burying her head in Byron’s warm embrace, Nina felt a moment of daze, as if she had returned to the time when she was a child. Back then, Byron often held her in his arms and adored her.
It seemed Byron also longed for the days gone by.
He sighed heavily, saying, "Nina, when you were little, I often held you. But as you grew up, our relationship soured, and we weren’t this close anymore." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
"Good child, it’s okay if you divorce. Come back and live in the Sinclair Family; there’s always a room for you here. Since you left, I’ve been having someone clean your room regularly, saving it just for you."
Hearing Byron’s words, Nina couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.
She never expected that Byron would still keep her room.
At that moment, she felt like a small boat aimlessly drifting, finally finding a harbor of her own.
An hour later, Nina left the Sinclair Family.
Although Ruby Sinclair and Hazel Lennox didn’t like her, Nina was no longer afraid of them. She no longer had to endure their bullying like she did as a child. She agreed with Byron to move back to the Sinclair Family.
Meanwhile, in the Lancaster Group’s office.
Sharon Lancaster arrived. She saw the department director standing outside and went up to pat his shoulder, asking, "What’s going on?"
The director was preparing himself mentally and didn’t expect Sharon to surprise him, "Oh my gosh, you scared me, Miss Lancaster! Why are you here? Are you here to see President Lancaster?"
Sharon nodded and said, "Yes, is my brother inside?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Young Master Lancaster is in the office."
After saying that, the director, as if seeing a savior, shoved the documents in his hand into Sharon’s arms, saying, "Miss Lancaster, I just remembered I have something urgent to do. Could I trouble you to pass these documents to Young Master Lancaster? Thank you, Miss Lancaster!"
Having thrown the hot potato to Sharon, the director immediately made his escape.
Sharon looked speechless.
Is it really that terrifying? But now, with her big brother planning to divorce Nina Sinclair, upon thinking carefully, it does seem quite frightening.
After taking a heavy sigh, Sharon finally pushed open the office door and went in.
Julian Lancaster, dressed in a suit, was sitting expressionlessly at his desk handling business. Although his expression was a bit cold, he seemed normal enough when handling things calmly.
Sharon coughed lightly and cautiously asked, "Brother, how do you plan to handle this? When will you tell Nina?"
"She already knows as of this morning."
Sharon was a bit surprised and then followed up, "And then? Now that she knows, are you planning to separate from Nina?"
Originally, Sharon thought Julian would delay for a few days, but she didn’t expect him to reveal it now. Wouldn’t Nina be extremely heartbroken upon knowing?
Julian paused his work, looked up at her briefly, and then softly replied, "Yes."
Sharon still felt something was off; if Julian really decided to separate from Nina, he shouldn’t be so calm.
Something feels amiss!
