CHAPTER 113: CHAPTER 113: CLEARLY SOMETHING’S WRONG

Julian Lancaster thought of something, his expression growing heavy.

When Nina Sinclair returned, he said, "I’ll take you."

Nina Sinclair hesitated for a moment, awkwardly refusing, "No, there’s no need... I’ll just grab a cab back myself."

Their relationship was indeed difficult to speak of, and she feared Ethan would tell Byron Sinclair, which would cause even more trouble.

Besides, they were supposed to divorce once the contract ended, so Ethan shouldn’t know. If he did, Ethan would surely try to help her repay the debt, and she didn’t want to drag him into losing such a large sum of money.

She planned to persuade Ethan to return to Crestfall after meeting him.

Then she wouldn’t have to worry about him noticing anything, and Nina Sinclair waved her hand, swiftly leaving with her belongings.

Julian Lancaster watched her eager and joyful back, his face sinking heavily.

Nina Sinclair hesitated for a moment when she answered his question, certainly because she felt guilty.

The person she was going to meet couldn’t just be a friend; it was very likely someone she didn’t want him to know about, and a man at that!

At that moment, Sharon Lancaster came out of the tent.

She stretched and asked Julian Lancaster, "Where’s Nina? She couldn’t still be sleeping, could she?"

"She’s gone."

Sharon Lancaster’s jaw dropped, "She left?"

"To see an old friend."

Upon hearing this, Sharon Lancaster immediately perked up and quickly sat down next to Julian Lancaster, adopting a Sherlock Holmes manner.

She said seriously, "Brother! You’re way too trusting. Nina’s mother is at a hospital in Crestfall, and we studied in Crestfall as well. If not for Vincent Lancaster, why would she come to Veridia, let alone have friends here!"

Julian Lancaster looked over.

"Why didn’t you go with her? You could have checked who she was meeting, whether it was a man or a woman, old or young, tall or short."

"She didn’t let me."

Sharon Lancaster clapped her hands, "So there’s definitely an issue! Think about it, Nina usually isn’t the type to refuse a ride. Her secrecy clearly shows she’s guilty."

Julian Lancaster was already in a bad mood, and hearing Sharon’s words made his face look even worse.

He took out his phone and dialed Felix Ford’s number, immediately instructing him to track Nina Sinclair’s whereabouts and find out which friend she was meeting.

Veridia Airport.

Nina Sinclair stood at the arrival gate, looking around, and quickly spotted a handsome figure appearing.

The man was tall, dressed in casual clothes, exuding an extraordinary presence in the crowd, attracting quite a few glances.

It really was Ethan Sherman.

She walked forward, and Ethan reached out to hug her, chuckling softly, "Seems like it’s been a while since we last met. You haven’t changed at all, still the same little girl."

Hearing this, Nina Sinclair felt a touch of emotion.

It had been a long time since she heard such a pampering tone, making her inevitably think of the Sinclair Family, and that man who was related to her by blood, but unfortunately, they could never return to the past.

"Ethan, you haven’t changed either, still as charming as ever."

Hearing Nina Sinclair’s compliment, Ethan Sherman happily curved his lips, "Such a sweet talker, did you coat your mouth with honey? Let’s go, I’ll treat you to something."

"I should be the one treating you!" Nina Sinclair corrected him.

Even though she wasn’t as wealthy as Ethan now, she still had enough to pay for a meal.

The two of them left the airport, chatting and laughing together.
