CHAPTER 682: CHAPTER 682: NOT WANTING NINA SINCLAIR TO BE WRONGED

In the room upstairs, Nina Sinclair’s phone had just turned on, and she was about to send a message to Julian Lancaster when he walked in.

Julian Lancaster saw Nina Sinclair sitting alone in the room, a hint of distress appearing in his eyes.

He walked forward and softly said, "Nina, did Grandpa ask you to stay here?"

Nina Sinclair was taken aback for a moment, quickly putting down the phone in her hand, and asked in surprise, "How did you come up? Are things downstairs all settled?"

Julian Lancaster stared at Nina Sinclair for a while, confirming that there was nothing unusual in her expression, then reached out to embrace her, gently saying, "Nina, I’m sorry for making you feel wronged."

Originally, Nina Sinclair didn’t feel particularly wronged.

After all, she knew that Elder Lancaster didn’t like her and didn’t have high expectations. She thought it was to be expected for Elder Lancaster to ask her to stay upstairs.

But now, hearing Julian Lancaster’s words, all those grievances surged to the surface.

She said sullenly, "It’s okay, I don’t feel wronged."

Julian Lancaster gently stroked Nina Sinclair’s back and said, "Come on, let’s go downstairs together."

Nina Sinclair was just about to speak when Old Master Lancaster’s voice sounded from behind!

He snorted coldly, "Julian! If you take her downstairs right now, how do you plan to introduce her identity if others ask?"

Seeing Old Master Lancaster appear, Nina Sinclair quickly moved away from Julian Lancaster’s embrace.

Old Master Lancaster walked in with a stern expression, suppressing his anger, and snorted, "Do you remember what you promised me before? Are you planning to go back on your word?"

Julian Lancaster had deceived Old Master Lancaster by saying Nina Sinclair was pregnant, leading Old Master Lancaster to temporarily accept Nina Sinclair’s presence. They made a deal not to let others know about their relationship.

This was already Old Master Lancaster’s greatest concession.

For him to accept Nina Sinclair’s presence immediately might not be an easy thing.

Julian Lancaster frowned deeply. He had indeed promised Old Master Lancaster this matter.

But he also didn’t want Nina Sinclair to suffer any grievances.

In the end, Julian Lancaster chose Nina Sinclair’s side without hesitation, saying firmly, "Grandfather, although I promised you not to announce our matter publicly, Nina is my wife. I can’t just leave her here alone."

"If I did that, I’d be a heartless man. You wouldn’t want me to become such a man, would you?"

Old Master Lancaster’s face darkened. What kind of twisted logic was this!

He was about to reprimand Julian Lancaster.

Just then, Sharon Lancaster walked in from outside and quickly reassured, "Oh, big brother! There’s no need to be so upset. Keeping Nina upstairs isn’t really appropriate; let her come down and join everyone. It’d be more lively that way."

Old Master Lancaster hadn’t expected Sharon Lancaster to side with Nina Sinclair, so he snorted discontentedly, "Sharon, what do you mean by this?"

Julian Lancaster wanted to say something but received a subtle hint from Sharon Lancaster.

Thus, he didn’t continue speaking.

"Grandfather, please don’t rush," Sharon Lancaster moved closer to Old Master Lancaster, soothing him in a low voice, "You’re just worried about Nina being involved with my brother."

"Actually, it’s an easy fix. Just let Nina come down, and I’ll tell others she’s my close friend. That way, there won’t be any misunderstandings."

Sharon Lancaster understood Old Master Lancaster’s concerns and was working as an intermediary to smooth things over, aiming to satisfy both sides.

After hearing Sharon Lancaster’s words, Old Master Lancaster’s expression slightly softened.

He snorted and said, "Fine, let’s do as Sharon says! But if you dare to do anything secretly, don’t blame me for being harsh. I won’t show any mercy!"

With that, Old Master Lancaster flung his sleeves and left.
