CHAPTER 9: CHAPTER 9: JUST TEMPORARILY LIVING TOGETHER

After leaving Zenith Group, Nina Sinclair did not return to the Lancaster Family. She opened her phone to search for rental information in Veridia.

Although she accidentally had a flash marriage with the Lancaster Family’s driver, she didn’t dare to live at the Lancaster house. If she accidentally ran into the real master, it would be hard to explain, so it was better to avoid it.

Her mother turned into a vegetative state years ago due to an accident and is now lying in a private hospital in Crestfall. The monthly expenses are not small.

Relying on painting murals for others, Nina Sinclair could barely make ends meet. If she saved some on a regular basis, she might even have some money left over.

Therefore, she never spends money recklessly, making sure every penny is well spent.

This month she had just paid the medical fees, and there wasn’t much money left with her, so she had to choose a rental place carefully.

After looking at rental information for quite a while, Nina Sinclair chose an apartment that was a bit far from the city center but had convenient public transport.

After checking out the apartment and the surrounding environment, she was satisfied and paid one month’s rent in advance along with a three-month deposit to secure the place.

It was then that Nina Sinclair remembered she needed to contact Julian Lancaster.

However, she suddenly realized that she didn’t have Julian Lancaster’s phone number. She and Julian were just legally married strangers, so detached that they didn’t even have each other’s numbers.

Moreover, her luggage was still at the Lancaster house, so it seemed she had to go back to get it.

Lancaster Family villa.

Sharon Lancaster looked at Nina Sinclair with a playful smile and said ambiguously, "Nina, you’re going to move in with the man I found for you? That’s really great!"

Thinking that her eternally stoic brother was about to blossom was incredibly exciting, causing Sharon to grin from ear to ear.

She seemed energized, vibrant, wishing she could be there every day to see Nina Sinclair and Julian Lancaster as a couple!

Seeing Sharon’s eyes sparkling, Nina Sinclair felt she might be too excited.

Now she was somewhat suspicious that the marriage certificate turning real was Sharon’s doing intentionally.

"No, it’s inconvenient for me to live here."

"What’s inconvenient about it? My home is your home!" Sharon quickly replied.

"It’s inconvenient for me to live at the Lancaster house, so let’s just forget it." Nina Sinclair firmly refused.

Sharon thought that if Nina Sinclair and her brother lived together, maybe their relationship would develop faster, so she didn’t insist.

She pushed the suitcase over and said, "Alright then, you can move out. I already noted your address, I will visit you someday. Here’s your suitcase; I’ve already packed it for you, so take it with you."

After leaving the Lancaster Family, Nina Sinclair thought of Julian Lancaster.

Although they were a makeshift couple, she shouldn’t live away from the Lancaster house without telling him.

Just before leaving, she had asked Sharon for his contact information. She took out her phone and dialed Julian Lancaster’s number.

When connected, a mechanical voice said, "The number you have dialed is busy, please try again later..."

Nina Sinclair frowned slightly and hung up the phone.

Since Julian Lancaster was still busy, she’d better move her stuff in first.

Once she had moved everything into the apartment, Nina Sinclair dialed Julian Lancaster’s number again, only to receive the same prompt.

Two hours had passed, and he was still on the phone?

Julian Lancaster didn’t seem like the kind of person who would indulge in long phone calls.

Forget it, it was just as well that she didn’t have to have too much interaction with a stranger. After all, she only needed him to attend the engagement banquet with her.

Nina Sinclair soon dismissed Julian Lancaster from her mind.

The rented apartment was on high ground, requiring several flights of stairs to climb. The taxi couldn’t drive up there, so she had to get off at the intersection and drag her suitcase up herself.

Nina Sinclair lifted her suitcase and struggled up the stairs, only to find her suitcase seemed much heavier, making her pant heavily after just a few steps, with a thin layer of sweat forming on her forehead.

Not far away, Julian Lancaster’s Rolls-Royce happened to pass by the traffic lights.

Felix Ford reminded, "President Lancaster, that’s Miss Sinclair."
