Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Official Relationship
Outside the villa, the car slowly cto a stop.
Nina Sinclair felt her heart sink as she said, "I'll head back now."
Just as she unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to leave, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone, and her
whole body shuddered at his touch.
Ever since that incident at Goldenleaf Manor, she had developed a strong aversion to physical contact with
others, but the person in front of her was Julian Lancaster.
Julian leaned toward Nina, casting her in shadow.
As he drew closer, Nina caught a whiff of his familiar clean scent, a scent that put her at ease and for a moment,
her tense body relaxed.
Once she relaxed, Julian's kiss gently landed on her cheek, soft and tender, retreating at just the right moment.

looked beneath him that day, stirring his desire to be closer to her.
But Nina's clear resistance and stiffness just now made him proceed step by step, ensuring he didn’t scare her or
provoke her dislike.
After Julian settled back into his seat, he reached out and patted Nina's head gently, saying, "Go on back."
Nina remained in a daze even after getting out of the car.
However, Julian had already driven away.
She stood silently by the roadside, and a breeze suddenly cleared her foggy mind.
She had been anxious for days, bracing herself for the worst, mentally preparing various strategies, considering
every possible scenario.
But she never expected this turn of events.
In just the short tsince leaving work, she inexplicably agreed to get involved with Julian Lancaster.
And it was the kind of relationship with commitment.
The Lancaster Residence.
Julian's car pulled into the garage, parking alongside the luxury cars, starkly out of place.
After Nina moved out of Royal Vista Estates, Julian, not wanting to be alone, also returned to live with the
Lancaster Family.
Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster were furious when they found out what Chloe Langley had done, but as Julian had already
dealt with her, their kind nature prevented them from pursuing the matter further.
Later, Old Li, acknowledging his faults, resigned voluntarily.
However, given Old Li's years of service to the Lancaster Family, Mr. Lancaster didn’t really dismiss him but
asked him to take stoff to handle his family’s affairs.
As Julian entered the house, Sharon Lancaster approached.
She asked, "Brother, how’s Nina? Did she agree to your proposal?"
Lately, Julian hadn't disturbed Nina, nor had Sharon dared to show up around her, especially after taking her to a
gathering that led to all the trouble. She felt a little apologetic.
Julian glanced at her, "Yeah."
Though she agreed, it was clear she wasn’t very willing.
Hearing this, Sharon finally breathed a sigh of relief—at least she had agreed.
Soon, something crossed her mind, and she said, somewhat unhappily, "Honestly, Nina is something else. To
have such a family background and not tell me, that’s hiding things too deeply."
Sharon had already learned about Nina being the Sinclair Family heiress, but she was kept in the dark all along,
leaving her with mixed feelings.
After all, she was Nina's best friend, and soon to be her sister-in-law.
How could Nina hide even from her?
Julian's eyes flickered, "She had an unpleasant experience with the Sinclair Family. Since she doesn’t want to talk
about it, don’t bring it up in the future."
Being admonished by her brother, Sharon nodded reluctantly, "Alright, | got it. I'll just pretend | don’t know
anything about it."
