"Nina, do you have any plans after breaking up with Julian?" Joel Thatcher asked, looking at Nina Sinclair.
At the mention of this, Nina felt somewhat helpless. She had fought hard against Heidi Leighton to be with Julian, hoping to gain Grandfather Lancaster’s approval, only to find that fate had played a cruel joke on them.
What choices did she have now? ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt
"I’ve already moved back to the Sinclair Family. In a few days, I’ll start working at the Sinclair Group. Maybe this is just how it will be from now on."
Joel’s hand repeatedly clenched and then released. His gaze at Nina was somewhat nervous, as if he wanted to say something but ended up keeping silent.
This behavior was noticed by Sharon Lancaster, who quickly said, "Bro, I have a feeling Joel definitely wants to confess. Now that Nina and you have broken up, he surely won’t miss this great opportunity. He’s been pulling all kinds of stunts before; now he’s going to be even more aggressive!"
Julian’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.
Sharon bravely continued, "Have you ever heard a saying?"
Julian raised a brow, looking at her, obviously indicating for Sharon to go on.
"The best way to forget a past relationship is to start a new one. Now that Nina and you are apart, it’s a time of heartbreak for her. What if Joel confesses to Nina, and then she, to forget you, starts a new relationship with him?"
Julian’s face immediately darkened, exuding a chilling aura.
Although he believed that Nina would not fall for someone else so quickly, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy. What if it really happened as Sharon suggested?
He was initially quite calm, but Sharon’s words changed that.
The words he had previously brushed off now sounded piercing.
Seeing Julian’s grim expression, Sharon realized she had gone too far. This was a bit too intense!
She quickly soothed, "It’s not that serious. I’m just speculating. Maybe they... cough, cough, cough!"
Sharon’s eyes widened, looking over to where Nina was, and when she saw what was happening, she almost spat blood.
Joel had grabbed Nina’s hand!!
Oh gosh, what on earth was happening? Could she really have spoken too soon with her crow mouth?
Is Nina really going to move on? What about her brother?
After Joel grabbed Nina’s hand, she was quite surprised. She quickly tried to pull her hand back, only to find that Joel was holding on tightly.
"Joel, what are you doing?" Nina’s face was a bit stiff as she forced a smile, "Do you think I’m not feeling well lately and want to check my pulse?"
She could only come up with such a lame excuse.
"Nina, I’ve actually liked you for a long time. You should be able to feel it. Now that you and Julian are apart, how about we be together? We grew up together and know each other well. I’ll treat you really well from now on."
Before Nina could refuse, Joel continued, "My parents really like you, my grandparents treat you like their own granddaughter. If you marry into the Thatcher Family, you’ll be the darling of our family."
"I assure you, there won’t be any family barriers."
After saying that, Joel looked at Nina with deep emotion, waiting for her response.
