CHAPTER 753: CHAPTER 753: SHE WILL COME TO YOU FIRST

Julian Lancaster heard Nina Sinclair’s words, his eyes darkened slightly.

He was such a smart person, he quickly understood what was going on.

Sharon always supported him, so she must have said a lot of good things about him in front of Nina, or perhaps crafted a particular image of him.

He remained silent, but such silence, in Nina’s eyes, was effectively an acknowledgment.

Her mood became heavy, not expecting Julian to still head in a direction she didn’t want to accept. The reason she took the initiative to separate from him before was to hope he could return to the Lancaster Family and have a broader world.

Nina didn’t speak for a long while.

Finally, after much hesitation, she asked, "How are you doing now?"

"Probably not very well."

Julian felt that sometimes white lies weren’t a bad thing. If Nina thought he was kicked out by the Lancaster Family and felt sorry for him, he didn’t mind appearing weak in front of her.

Nina sighed heavily and said, "Actually, it’s all my fault. You could explain it to your grandfather, maybe when his anger subsides, he’ll let you return. Don’t be at odds with him; after all, the outside is not as good as the Lancaster Family."

Julian’s gaze fell on Nina, and he said firmly, "It’s not your fault; it’s my issue. I couldn’t make you happy."

Upon hearing Julian’s words, Nina almost started crying.

Julian left the Lancaster Family because of her, yet now he was saying it wasn’t her fault. Suddenly, she recalled what he said in the morning: it was enough just to be able to see her.

Nina was always someone who was easily softened. She still had feelings for Julian, and knowing his situation now, she naturally felt uncomfortable.

Julian saw the guilty look flash in Nina’s eyes, and his own eyes flickered.

He chuckled lightly and said, "Alright, you should head back."

After speaking, Julian opened the door and went into the apartment.

It wasn’t until the door closed that Nina snapped out of it. Looking at the tightly shut door, her feelings were mixed.

She opened her own apartment door and went back inside.

After saying those words to Julian, she had been absent-minded, always thinking about Julian.

Recently, Nina had been cooking for herself. When she opened the refrigerator, she started daydreaming about Julian again.

He had just moved in yesterday, so he probably didn’t have any cooking supplies, did he?

She hadn’t seen Julian carrying any food earlier. She wondered if he’d had dinner, or maybe Felix and the others would bring him food? Or perhaps he would go out to eat?

Nina’s mind wandered, and she quickly prepared a few small dishes.

A mustard green soup and two stir-fried dishes—though simple looking, they were quite visually appealing.

She looked at the table full of dishes, hesitated for a moment, and then left her apartment to ring Julian’s apartment doorbell.

...

Meanwhile, Julian was on the phone with Sharon Lancaster.

"What did you say to Nina?" Julian asked in a low voice, "When I got back just now, she asked if I was kicked out by the Lancaster Family."

"Hahaha..." Sharon laughed upon hearing this.

After a while, she stopped laughing, and then Sharon told Julian everything she had said to Nina in detail.

Only then did Julian understand the changes in Nina’s expressions earlier.

He had guessed correctly; Nina thought she was the reason he was ’kicked’ out of the Lancaster Family, which is why she felt so guilty towards him.

Thinking about this, Julian could only laugh and cry.
