Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Not the Slightest Sense of Discord
Today is the last rest day.
Nina Sinclair was pondering how to spend it when, early in the morning, Sharon Lancaster cto visit her.
After Sharon sat down, she smiled with a hint of mischief and said, "Nina, have you finally caround to
moving back?"
Nina’s cheeks reddened slightly. Although she was in front of her good friend, she still felt embarrassed.
Fortunately, Sharon saw her bashful expression and didn’t continue to tease her.
After that, Sharon chatted with her at home.
Though Sharon would usually drop by, Nina felt something was odd about her today. Earlier, when Nina
suggested they go shopping, Sharon declined, saying she wasn’t in the mood.
Just as Nina was about to ask if something had happened, Julian Lancaster returned. He glanced casually at
Sharon before addressing her as "Miss," prompting her to rise with a smile.
"Weren't you going to work?" Nina asked Julian, puzzled.
Julian walked in and said, "My parents are moving house, and they want us to cfor dinner."
"Moving house?"
Suddenly, Nina recalled Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster's previous home. Although it seemed a bit small, it was quite
nice. Why did they suddenly decide to move?
Seeing Nina's confusion, Julian explained, "They haven't lived in that house for a while and felt it wasn’t good in
many ways."
Well... Nina accepted this explanation without further suspicion.
However, she looked apologetically at Sharon.
It was a rare chance for Sharon to cand play, but now she had to leave with Julian for dinner, which seemed
a bit rude to Sharon.
Sharon smiled and said, "Moving? I'll help too! After all, I'm no stranger to your parents, and | haven't seen them
in a while."
Nina was helpless. Had Sharon’s memory faded so quickly?
Hadn't she just seen them not long ago?
In fact, Sharon cto Nina today precisely to get an invitation to dinner with them, so upon suggesting to join
them, Nina likely wouldn't refuse.
Indeed, Nina didn’t object but still looked to Julian for his opinion, "Can Sharon calong?"
"Sure." Julian nodded.
So, the three happily got into the car and set off for Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster's new place, buying flowers, fruits,
and other things on the way.
Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster's new hwas in a mid-range priced community, but with only two apartments per
floor, it looked quite pleasant, a notable improvement over the previous small house.
Upon entering, Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster were already preparing dinner.
Feeling a little guilty, Nina immediately joined in to help.
Julian naturally stayed by Nina's side, helping her with the cooking.
Originally, Sharon was a spoiled young lady who wasn’t accustomed to housework, but seeing even Julian
helping out, she couldn't just stand by idly and joined in as well.
Nina watched Sharon working earnestly, and a small smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy did it seem that Sharon didn’t feel out of place here?
She seemed almost like Julian's sister. If Sharon were Julian's sister, Nina was sure they would get along well.
Suddenly, Nina thought of Julian's real sister.
She didn't like Nina and schemed against her, causing her to lose her dignity at Goldenleaf Manor. Although
Julian's sister no longer appeared in Nina's life, the harm she inflicted was irreparable.
Her mood suddenly tainted, turning a little bleak.
No!
She couldn't let herself be consumed by these emotions. She had promised to start anew with Julian, and the
past shouldn't be allowed to haunt her.
What she needed to do next was to find out whether Vincent Lancaster was the owner of Goldenleaf Manor.

During dinner, the atmosphere was harmonious.
To fit her role, Mrs. Lancaster smiled and mentioned that she would leave this house to Nina Sinclair and Julian
Lancaster in the future, so they wouldn't have any financial worries.
Actually, she was afraid that Nina might genuinely think Julian was poor and disdain him deep down, which is
why she said that. In reality, the wealth they could leave Julian with is beyond Nina's imagination.
Nina caught the meaning behind Mrs. Lancaster's words.
She quickly smiled and said that young people can strive on their own and shouldn't worry about the future,
urging them to enjoy a peaceful retirement.
At the stime, she becmore determined to work hard and avoid being dependent on elders.
After finishing dinner, the three bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster and left.
Julian first took Nina back to Royal Vista Estates, then dropped Sharon Lancaster off at the Lancaster Family
home.
The car drove steadily along the road. Sharon was playing on her phone, and suddenly, she seemed to see
something important. She leaned forward with a serious expression, "Bro! | have something very important to
report!"
"Hmm?"
"Here's the situation..." Sharon cleared her throat and said, "My informant at the Lancaster Family tellsthat
the old man is actually setting up a matchmaking for you! It’s said he’s now looking beyond Crestfall and
focusing on Veridia, but who knows who he’ll choose!"
Julian's brows slightly furrowed.
He didn’t expect that his grandfather still wouldn't accept Nina.
"However, there aren't many presentable women in Veridia. It's uncertain which family’s daughter the old man
has taken a liking to. If we knew in advance, we could prepare for it." Sharon mused, touching her chin.
Julian’s eyes darkened, and smemories suddenly surfaced in his mind.
A couple of days ago, Nina suddenly asked about Heidi Leighton. Could it be that his grandfather has approached
Justin Leighton’s daughter?
"Heidi Leighton," he said in a deep voice.
"Huh? How do you know?" Sharon exclaimed in surprise.
She racked her brain about Heidi Leighton, whom she had only seen once at a Goldenleaf Manor gathering, but
wasn't very familiar with.
"It might really be Heidi Leighton! After all, the Leighton Family is quite reputable in Veridia. This situation could
be tricky. What should we do?"
"Ignore it."
Julian had no interest in other women and didn’t see this as a threat, as long as he and Nina were fine.
Sharon initially wanted to say something, but seeing Julian’s calm demeanor, she felt there was indeed nothing
to worry about.
Other women were nothing to her brother; even ten debuts from the Leighton Family wouldn't shake Nina's
status.
As if remembering something, Sharon asked, "By the way, when do you plan to tell Nina that you're my brother?"
For Julian's happiness, she and her parents had sacrificed much.
Julian was silent for a moment, then said, "Wait a little longer."
At least wait until his relationship with Nina stabilized, then find a chance to tell her, so there wouldn't be any
negative consequences.
After safely sending Sharon home, Julian returned to Royal Vista Estates.
On the way, he reflected on past events. Chapter 368: Let's Try Again
Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Let's Try Again
At Royal Vista Estates, after Nina Sinclair returned, she showered first. Once she was done, Julian Lancaster still
hadn’t cback, so she simply sat on the sofa watching TV while waiting for him.
The door clicked open; Julian Lancaster was back.
As he cin, his deep eyes landed on her, as if something was on his mind. By the tNina Sinclair looked
carefully, it had already disappeared.
Nina Sinclair spoke first: "Was Sharon safely sent home?"
Julian Lancaster put down his keys and walked in, "Mm, she was sent back."
He sat next to Nina Sinclair and asked in a deep voice: "Why did you suddenly ask about Heidi Leighton a couple
of days ago?"
Nina Sinclair was taken aback.
At the time, she thought Julian Lancaster knew about the Heidi Leighton matter and asked with a bit of emotion,
but later found out he didn’t, so her frustration disappeared.
Why is he suddenly asking about it now?
"No particular reason, just a bit curious."
Julian Lancaster frowned slightly and asked, "Did the Leighton family contact you?"
"Mm, Heidi Leighton approached me, claiming to be your fiancée!" Since Julian Lancaster had already spoken up,
Nina Sinclair decided not to hide anything. She said with a hint of resentment, "She even warned me."
Seeing the dissatisfaction on Nina Sinclair's face, Julian Lancaster's expression softened quite a bit.
He reached out and pulled Nina Sinclair into his arms, "That's her self-claiming. | don’t have any fiancée, only a
legally wedded wife."
Hearing Julian Lancaster's soft voice, Nina Sinclair's heart fluttered slightly.
She hadn't put much thought into this matter, so Julian Lancaster's explanation further eased all her misgivings.
"You don’t have to worry, | didn’t misunderstand. That's just a match your aunt tried to set up for you. | won't get
angry over it."
Julian Lancaster showed slight surprise.
He hadn't expected Nina Sinclair to think Heidi Leighton was someone his aunt found?
That worked well, saving him from explaining things about his grandfather; so let Nina Sinclair think that way.
But Nina Sinclair's composure was not necessarily a good thing in his view.
Julian Lancaster asked: "I thought if another woman approached you, you'd be mad atand throw a fit."
He didn’t want to see Nina Sinclair so indifferent.
"Because | know you weren't aware of this matter, so | didn’t react. Besides, you are now my husband in name,
even if someone wants to steal you away temporarily, it's impossible. I'm not senseless enough to get upset
over such pointless things."
Nina Sinclair was quite confident about this. Even if Julian Lancaster truly wanted to leave, dealing with
procedures and other arrangements would be quite a hassle.
Hearing Nina Sinclair's words, Julian Lancaster's eyes slightly narrowed.
A husband in name?
Suddenly, he leaned forward, pressing Nina Sinclair into the sofa, "Nina, I'm your husband in reality, one who can
do everything any couple does."
Nina Sinclair hadn't expected him to do this all of a sudden, and her mind went blank, filled with panic.
She couldn't help but recall the Goldenleaf Manor incident afterward, feeling scared and helpless, unsure of how
to face Julian Lancaster.
There was even spsychological shadow, making her unable to open her heart completely.
Caught off guard just now by his pressure, the sudden movements caused her collar to pull open widely. Julian
Lancaster looked down at the beautiful scene before him, his eyes growing darker.
He said in a deep voice, "Nina, shall we try again?"
This time, he would certainly not make her uncomfortable.
Hearing his words, Nina Sinclair suddenly panicked, what did he mean by try again?
If things were as Sharon said, and his grandfather had already approached the Leighton Family, perhaps Nina
already knew about this.
But she hadn’t made a fuss, only tentatively asking him if he knew Heidi Leighton.
At that time, he didn’t think much of it, but now everything seemed to connect.
Julian's eyes darkened slightly; Nina not causing a scene meant she hadn't put him at the forefront of her
thoughts.
nly by clarifying this matter could she eliminate the potential threat!
