Elder Lancaster heard Julian’s silence, snorted coldly, and angrily said, "Come to Crestfall immediately, I have things to instruct you." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
After speaking, he hung up before Julian could respond.
Julian had to go to Crestfall periodically to study; Elder Lancaster did intend to pass the vast Lancaster Family to him. All of Julian’s current preparations were for the future succession of the Lancaster Family.
However... Around Elder Lancaster, there would likely be more women visiting, yet he must face it.
Julian pinched his brow and took a deep breath.
He originally wanted to go back to the apartment but worried Nina Sinclair would ask too many questions and he’d slip up.
Finally, after thinking it over, he took out his phone and sent a text to Nina Sinclair.
In the apartment, Nina Sinclair was almost sleepy from waiting, but Julian never returned. She wanted to call and ask, but feared disturbing his date with his girlfriend.
She couldn’t help but let her mind wander; what if after dinner with his girlfriend, he went somewhere else and didn’t return?
There are many places a couple can go...
For some reason, a slight bitterness welled up in her heart.
Always the feeling of being abandoned again, yet between her and Julian, they were nothing — just two strangers brought together by accident.
At that moment, the phone on the table dinged; she quickly snapped back to reality, picked up the phone from the table, and unlocked it.
It was a message from Julian.
He said he had to go on a business trip with that person and would return as soon as possible.
Disappointment appeared on Nina Sinclair’s face. She had been waiting for Julian to come back, but unexpectedly, he had gone on a business trip.
Looking at the full table of dishes before her, she sighed softly.
Finally, Nina Sinclair ate The Flavor Crucible’s meals alone.
Sharon Lancaster clearly said The Flavor Crucible is the best restaurant in Veridia, but why did she feel the meals weren’t special? Was her mood spoiled by Julian?
After finishing the meal, Nina Sinclair tidied up briefly and lay on the bed.
She tossed and turned for a long time but couldn’t fall asleep.
Usually, she falls asleep quickly; why was tonight different? As if Julian’s absence left a void in her heart.
Feeling irritated, Nina Sinclair buried her face into the pillow; she couldn’t think anymore!
She and Julian should go their separate ways from now on.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
During this time, Julian hadn’t returned, not even a phone call. Nina understood he was busy and couldn’t contact her, yet there was still a trace of bitterness in her heart.
Recently, Sharon also seldom contacted her, seemingly due to a dispute with her boyfriend.
Sharon had a boyfriend during college.
Throughout four years of college, Nina Sinclair hadn’t realized Sharon was actually a wealthy heiress; she hid it too well. She and Sierra Sinclair were roommates, and Sharon lived next door to their dorm room.
They met when Sharon forgot her meal card, and Nina generously lent hers to her. Later, they became close friends who shared everything.
Nina Sinclair knew better than to meddle in Sharon’s personal affairs, so she didn’t seek her out.
These past few days, she went for a follow-up at the hospital. The doctor said her recovery was good, and she could remove the cast.
Once the cast was removed, Nina Sinclair’s hand returned to normal.
Living with only one usable hand was quite challenging; managing daily tasks with just one hand was tough. Unlike some species who can eat with one hand while using the other for bathroom needs.
Nina Sinclair brushed away the gloom she had been feeling for days, looking visibly happier.
