Chapter 217: Chapter 217

Nina Sinclair was stunned, not expecting Julian Lancaster to say such a thing. What did he mean?

Contract cancellation?

Didn’t he say before that if we breached the contract, we would have to compensate with a huge amount of money? Why suddenly...

"What, what do you mean?"

"We only accidentally got married because of Sharon Lancaster’s involvement. You didn’t do anything wrong, and the contract isn’t fair to you. I’ll cancel it, and after that, we shouldn’t contact each other."

Julian Lancaster was a magnanimous man. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt

He admitted he had feelings for Nina Sinclair, but he didn’t want to use any coercive means to disrupt Nina Sinclair’s relationship with Ethan Sherman.

What Nina Sinclair did just now made him understand. He decided to set her free so she could be with Ethan Sherman.

A wave of bitterness spread in Julian Lancaster’s heart, and with some reluctance, he let go of Nina Sinclair.

This was the last time he would hold her.

"It’s getting late, you should rest." After speaking, he stood up and walked towards the study.

Watching Julian Lancaster head to the study, Nina Sinclair finally snapped back to reality. She jumped up from the sofa and caught up with him.

"Julian Lancaster, wait a moment!"

Hearing Nina Sinclair’s words, Julian Lancaster stopped and looked at her patiently, waiting for her to speak.

"Did... did you get upset because you didn’t like the gift I gave you?"

"I’m sorry! I really didn’t consider this situation well. I didn’t know you didn’t like that brand of clothing. Next time, I’ll get you something better."

Julian Lancaster remained silent.

Nina Sinclair was extremely annoyed with herself.

Sigh! It was all Ethan Sherman’s fault, saying that surprises should be given without the other person knowing.

If she had asked Julian Lancaster directly back then, it would never have led to this outcome.

Looking at Nina Sinclair’s distressed expression, Julian Lancaster slowly smiled, gazing at her gently, and said, "Don’t worry about it, I really liked your gift."

Thinking of Julian Lancaster wanting to annul the contract, Nina Sinclair grew so anxious she was almost in tears, not expecting things to turn out this badly.

She didn’t want to cancel the contract with Julian Lancaster at all.

Because through one incident after another, she found out she had fallen for him and wanted to be with him.

Julian Lancaster reached out and patted Nina Sinclair’s head, "Don’t think too much, go to sleep early. Goodnight."

After saying this, he entered his room and shut the door.

Watching the door close heavily in front of her, Nina Sinclair felt as if her heart dropped to the bottom.

It seemed like Julian Lancaster was shutting her out of his world.

The next morning, Nina Sinclair emerged with two huge dark circles under her eyes. She had spent a sleepless night, unable to fall asleep at all.

Unexpectedly, Julian Lancaster rose even earlier than she did, seated at the dining table, his hair still slightly damp, clearly just having taken a shower.

"Come, have some breakfast."

Nina Sinclair hesitated for a moment before sitting down.

She noticed that ever since they moved, it seemed she no longer needed to make breakfast or lunch.

Given her state, she definitely couldn’t wake up early to make breakfast—Julian Lancaster was indeed considerate.

She wondered if he still remembered what he had said last night.

Nina Sinclair sneaked a glance at Julian Lancaster, unable to discern any unusual expressions on his face.

There were hints of red in Julian Lancaster’s eyes, his handsome face mildly tired, possibly a hangover’s side effect, or maybe he, too, hadn’t slept well last night.

"Julian Lancaster..."

Before Nina Sinclair could speak, Julian Lancaster placed a peeled egg into the bowl before her.

After hesitating for a moment, Nina Sinclair finally looked up at Julian Lancaster and asked, "Last night you..."
