Julian Lancaster and Nina Sinclair returned to the villa. After entering the house, Nina went straight upstairs to her room.
Seeing her obvious avoidance, Julian’s eyes darkened.
It was clear that Nina was angry; she didn’t want to talk to him.
Julian followed Nina upstairs. Just as she was about to close the door, Julian caught it, blocking it with his hand. Seeing Julian standing at the doorway, Nina lowered her gaze and said, "I’m a bit tired, I want to rest."
Nina met his eyes, "What did I do?"
She wasn’t throwing a tantrum. Couldn’t she at least have the right to be angry on her own?
Because she couldn’t blame Julian, she wanted to process these feelings herself. But with Julian following her around, was he expecting her to admit she really pushed Monica Lancaster into the water before he’d leave her alone?

"I’m not angry," Nina said seriously.
She wasn’t angry; she just felt a bit wronged.
Seeing Nina’s emotional state, Julian felt a pang in his heart. He went forward and embraced her, whispering gently, "It’s not that I don’t believe you didn’t push Monica into the water, I just want to clarify this matter. There shouldn’t be any reason for you two to have a conflict out of nowhere."
Nina smirked coldly, "What if I say it was for no reason? Would you believe me?"
How could she have known Monica would act like that suddenly? Maybe even Julian wouldn’t have thought of it, let alone those who disliked her, which led to no one believing her.
"I believe you. You are my wife, the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. Of course, I believe you."
Hearing his words, Nina felt a twinge in her heart.
Perhaps all the grievances before were just waiting for him to say this one sentence. Now that he had, she felt a bit better, feeling trusted by him.
Her tense emotions finally relaxed.
"But earlier, you didn’t believe. You thought I pushed Monica into the water."
Julian finally understood the source of Nina’s emotions. He quickly coaxed her in a low voice, "I was just too shocked. How can you wrong me ? Do we not even have a bit of trust between us?"
Nina was speechless. Okay, let’s just say he was too shocked.
"But you still wanted to drag me back to apologize."
"I just wanted you to go back and resolve things so the situation with Grandpa doesn’t become even more tense. I didn’t expect you to want to leave so badly, so I could only leave with you."
"..." Nina was at a loss for words, so now, in the end, it was all her fault?
She found Julian’s ability to distort the truth impressive, making her have to admire him.
Suddenly, Julian scooped Nina up, startling her as she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. "Hey, what are you doing? Where are you taking me?"
"When we were at the Lancaster Family, if you had gone back, maybe you could have explained things to Grandpa, but now there’s no opportunity. In case things get exposed in the future, we need to hurry."
Nina suddenly remembered what they needed to hurry for.
Last time, Sharon lied about being pregnant, wanting her and Julian to stay together. Now her belly was ’empty,’ and who knows when they might get caught out.
