CHAPTER 157: CHAPTER 157: I WISH I WEREN’T SO OUTSTANDING

Very quickly, Julian Lancaster dismissed this idea.

Felix Ford said that the Sinclair Family’s butler, William Lucas, came to help, allowing Sierra Sinclair to establish a jewelry brand. Now that the second lady of the Sinclair Family is still here, Sierra Sinclair must be that mysterious eldest daughter of the Sinclair Family.

Perhaps everything is just a coincidence.

Julian Lancaster snapped back to reality, looked at Nina Sinclair, and said, "It’s okay, you have me from now on."

Hearing his words, Nina Sinclair was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks involuntarily turned red.

Why did these words sound so easy to misunderstand?

Didn’t he know how such words could easily make someone daydream?

When a man looks at you with focused attention and tells you ’you have me from now on,’ any woman would be moved, right?

Yet she and Julian Lancaster are just agreement spouses; there’s no possibility between them.

After all, she heard Julian Lancaster say with his own mouth that after the agreement expired, they would terminate the marriage!

Thinking about this, Nina Sinclair’s heart felt like it had been doused with cold water, calming her down completely, and she stopped continuing her wishful thinking.

She thought to herself, perhaps Julian Lancaster meant that during the duration of their marriage contract, she still had him as her temporary husband, that’s surely what he meant, right?

Very quickly, Nina Sinclair convinced herself.

She slightly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind, coughed lightly, and continued to say, "During that time, I had a falling out with my family and moved out to live independently, working while taking care of my mother."

"Later, I met Vincent Lancaster. When he was pursuing me, he was really nice, not only humorous and witty but also considerate..."

Hearing Nina Sinclair praise Vincent Lancaster, Julian Lancaster’s expression darkened.

But very quickly, Nina Sinclair changed her tone, somewhat resentfully saying, "But after we started dating, he began to show his true colors. I didn’t expect him to be such a manipulative person. I was blind to have liked him before."

Julian Lancaster didn’t feel even a bit happy hearing these words.

Just like Sharon Lancaster said, comparison leads to contrast.

Nina Sinclair’s current aversion to Vincent Lancaster only highlighted the good in the white moonlight she held close to her heart, which was not a good sign.

"Ah! I can’t understand..." Nina Sinclair sighed heavily, saying in distress, "He and Sierra Sinclair are so well-matched, I’ve already stepped back, they should just be tied together, why does he keep dragging me into this?"

Just like this time, Sierra Sinclair didn’t hesitate to use her own child as a bargaining chip to frame her.

All she could say was that Sierra Sinclair was indeed formidable and too ruthless!

This time the situation was indeed a bit tricky.

"Perhaps you are too outstanding? She’s jealous of you?" Julian Lancaster thought of the mural Nina Sinclair completed and sincerely praised her.

She wasn’t an ordinary girl.

Though people often praised her normally, Nina Sinclair never felt anything. Unexpectedly, this time Julian Lancaster’s sincere words made her very happy.

Sierra Sinclair was too jealous of her, but what about Vincent Lancaster?

Thinking about the previous insinuating, nauseating words Vincent Lancaster had said, Nina Sinclair’s skin crawled instantly.

She would rather not be so outstanding.

This was the first time Nina Sinclair opened her heart, telling an outsider so much about things she kept buried inside.

She was willing to trust Julian Lancaster, which is why she confided so much, even more than her good sister Sharon Lancaster seemed to know.

After saying all of this, she felt a little closer to Julian Lancaster.
