CHAPTER 648: CHAPTER 648: DEFEATED BEFORE EVEN ENTERING THE FIELD

Nina Sinclair didn’t understand what he meant. Why wouldn’t he tell Old Master Lancaster about this? Is deceiving him actually a good thing?

If he finds out later that this is fake, wouldn’t he be even angrier?

Julian Lancaster saw the expression on Nina Sinclair’s face and knew what she was thinking. Earlier, Sharon Lancaster misspoke and brought up the topic of marriage. Although there wasn’t a big expression on Nina’s face, he knew that a wedding is something a woman desires most in her life.

Does Nina Sinclair want a grand marriage?

The original plan was to fake a divorce to confuse his grandfather, but unexpectedly, a man immediately appeared by Nina’s side, ready to pounce.

Julian Lancaster felt that if he didn’t take some action soon, Nina Sinclair might become someone else’s woman. Such an outstanding girl must have many people coveting her.

With this in mind, Julian walked forward, embraced Nina in his arms, and softly asked, "Earlier, you didn’t answer me. Do you really want to be with Joel Thatcher?"

At this moment, at the hospital room entrance.

Joel Thatcher, having just learned that Old Master Lancaster had left, immediately rushed over to find Nina Sinclair, intending to expose Julian Lancaster’s faked car accident.

Unexpectedly, when he reached the door, he saw the two of them embracing, with Julian Lancaster asking Nina if she truly wanted to be with him.

His steps halted, and he didn’t move forward.

Although he knew he shouldn’t hold any hope, there was still a small part of Joel that wished Nina would tell Julian she wanted to be with him.

Inside the hospital room, Nina Sinclair was enveloped in Julian Lancaster’s arms, surrounded by his familiar fresh scent.

Her emotions were tangled and confused, unsure how to respond.

Clearly, they were already apart now, and she should tell Julian, just like in the restaurant; but when the words reached her lips, she suddenly couldn’t say them.

Actually, she was reluctant too, wasn’t she?

"Nina, I understand now." Julian suddenly smiled quietly.

Nina looked up at him, "You understand what? I didn’t say anything."

"I understand that you are reluctant to part with me."

Hearing Julian say this with a smile, Nina’s cheeks flushed, and she snapped with a hint of annoyance, "What nonsense are you talking? I’m not reluctant, after all, we..."

"It’s not you who’s unwilling, it’s me who’s unwilling." Julian lowered his head, his eyes filled with tender affection as he looked at Nina, and said slowly, "It’s me who can’t bear to part with you, so please don’t be with Joel, okay?"

Nina’s heart trembled, "Then we..."

"I just made an arrangement with Grandpa, he agreed to let us stay together."

Upon hearing Julian’s words, Nina suddenly realized. No wonder Old Master Lancaster didn’t look angry earlier. So that’s what it was. Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy, and the previously resistant Old Master Lancaster unexpectedly agreed.

Nina felt a sense of emotion in her heart.

Joel Thatcher stood at the door for a while, and his mood suddenly became despondent.

It turned out that Nina Sinclair had never really seen him. The man in her heart was still Julian Lancaster, even if they were temporarily apart, she still liked him.

There was simply no room for him to intervene between them.

Even with Caleb Lancaster’s situation, perhaps, in the end, this obstacle wouldn’t be a problem at all.

Joel smiled self-deprecatingly.

He lost before he even got a chance to compete.
