CHAPTER 158: CHAPTER 158: SHARON LANCASTER AND JULIAN LANCASTER ARE OUTSIDERS

"It’s getting late, let’s take a shower and go to bed." Nina Sinclair stood up.

A moment later, after showering together, they lay on the bed. With no worries, Nina Sinclair fell asleep without any burden.

Surprisingly, Julian Lancaster was the one who suffered from insomnia, still pondering about the situation between Nina Sinclair and Ethan Sherman.

The last time he mentioned Ethan’s upcoming marriage to Nina, she seemed surprisingly calm, only a little shocked, which was rather strange.

Could it be that she already knew the man had a girlfriend, which is why she distanced herself from Ethan?

Even so, whenever Nina faced issues, her first reaction was to turn to Ethan for help, showing that he still held an irreplaceable position in her heart.

Just when he thought he had found a way to keep Nina around, a new challenge emerged.

After their conversation tonight, she must have given up the idea of asking Ethan for help and might consider turning to him instead.

...

The next morning.

They got up and had breakfast as usual.

Julian Lancaster had to go to work, but Nina Sinclair probably couldn’t leave the house for a few days.

As he was leaving, he looked at Nina Sinclair and sternly reminded her, "If there’s any problem you can’t solve, remember to call me."

"Mm, I got it." Nina nodded obediently.

But she thought to herself that the situation this time was quite serious, involving attempted murder, not something an ordinary person could easily resolve. Julian Lancaster might not be able to help either.

Still, the fact that he could say such words already warmed her heart.

After sending Julian Lancaster off, Nina Sinclair returned to the sofa to wait for any commotion from Vincent Lancaster’s side.

At that moment, Sharon Lancaster hurriedly arrived at the apartment.

Though on the surface, she was giving Nina Sinclair advice, she was actually keeping an eye on the situation’s progress for Julian Lancaster, acting as an active informant.

Even though she already knew Nina had asked her "white moonlight" for help, Sharon feigned ignorance and casually asked, "Nina, this isn’t an easy situation to resolve. What do you plan to do?"

Nina replied leisurely, "We’ll deal with soldiers when they come, and water with earth. Don’t worry, I’ve already found someone to help, it won’t be a problem."

Sharon narrowed her eyes and asked tentatively, "Found someone to help, you didn’t ask that guy for help this time, did you? Why didn’t you come to me? I’m your best friend, I’ll do my best to help you!"

In fact, Sharon was also standing up for her brother here. Asking her was like asking her brother for help to resolve things.

Hearing Sharon’s rather reproachful words, Nina quickly gave an awkward smile.

She linked arms with Sharon and consoled, "I was just worried about troubling you too much. After all, Ethan is one of us, so there’s no need to be too polite with him. Using him won’t hurt my conscience like it would with you."

Hearing this, Sharon couldn’t help but wail internally.

That man and Nina are "one of us"? Is that how she sees it? Are she and Julian outsiders then?

After all, she was Nina’s sister-in-law!

Her brother was Nina’s dear husband!

How could Nina think they would be a bother, when in fact it was no trouble at all?

Seeing Sharon still looking upset, Nina hurried to comfort her, "I was just worried that you’d have to face Vincent and things might get awkward, considering the relationship between you two. If Ethan can’t handle it this time, I’ll turn to you for help, okay?"

Hearing this, Sharon felt a bit better.
