CHAPTER 754: CHAPTER 754: NINA SINCLAIR AND JULIAN LANCASTER HAVE DINNER TOGETHER

"Bro, from what I know of Nina, if she found out you got kicked out of the Lancaster Family, she’d definitely feel guilty. By then, you two wouldn’t continue the silent treatment. She might even come looking for you!"

Sharon Lancaster began using her imagination, spinning all kinds of speculation.

Just as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

Julian Lancaster glanced toward the door. This was a high-end apartment with private management; no random people would come ringing the bell.

Could it be that Sharon guessed right and Nina Sinclair came looking for him?

Julian quickly hung up the phone and walked over to peek through the peephole.

Sure enough, he saw Nina Sinclair standing at the entrance, looking anxious.

His lips curled into a pleasing smile as he opened the apartment door, "Nina, is there something you need?"

Nina looked up at Julian, awkwardly whispering, "Well... did you... have dinner yet?"

She noticed Julian’s meaningful gaze and felt a bit embarrassed.

Why did this sound a bit like an invitation?

Nina cleared her throat, casually saying, "Here’s the thing, I just cooked too much, and I wanted to ask if you’d had dinner. Otherwise, it would go to waste. If not, I could..."

However, before Nina could finish, Julian stepped out of his place.

"Just so happens I haven’t eaten yet, not sure what to eat. I’ll come over to yours." With that, Julian smoothly walked toward Nina’s apartment.

Seeing Julian heading into her home, Nina was completely stunned!

She intended to pack the meal into a container for Julian, not to dine with him!

At this point, Julian had already entered Nina’s apartment, prompting her to quickly snap out of it and go after him.

Five minutes later, they were sitting at the dining table together.

Nina served Julian a bowl of rice and handed him the chopsticks, "Let’s dig in."

Since Julian was already there, having a meal together wasn’t much of a problem. Nina accepted the situation with ease and ate with Julian confidently.

But sitting face-to-face, the silent intimacy, suddenly reminded Nina of their time in Veridia.

Back then, Julian pretended to be poor, and she didn’t know about his connection to the Lancaster Family, yet they were utterly happy.

Julian seemed a bit distracted too, evidently recalling their past sweet moments. His gaze on Nina grew increasingly soft.

Nina, noticing his eyes, felt a little uneasy and looked away.

She cleared her throat and asked, "So, Sharon mentioned you’re leaving Lancaster Group. Is that true?"

Julian’s eyes flickered with a hint of darkness.

He wasn’t planning on leaving Lancaster Group; Sharon only said so to create a pitiful image for him. Since she already mentioned it, he couldn’t contradict her.

Julian responded with a low hum.

Nina put down her chopsticks and looked up at Julian.

She said gravely, "Julian, why put yourself in such a situation? Without Lancaster Group’s support, your future life and work would be very difficult, and perhaps not as comfortable in Veridia as before."

In the past, Julian thrived in Veridia mainly because Zenith had the backing of Lancaster Group, providing ample contacts and resources.

If he lost Lancaster Group’s support, he might slowly go downhill.

Besides, was he really willing to give up Lancaster’s vast legacy?

Julian chuckled softly, saying, "Having experienced an uncomfortable life, I think I can accept it."
