Chapter 281: Chapter 281
The two of them arrived at the apartment building from yesterday.
Upon entering, Nina Sinclair saw a young girl sitting with Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster, and the three of them were chatting and laughing.
It seemed this girl was Julian Lancaster’s sister.
The girl looked very young, with delicate features, but not as striking as Julian Lancaster, which made people marvel at how siblings from the same parents could look so different.
Mrs. Lancaster noticed Nina Sinclair and quickly waved her over, "Nina, you’re here, come sit down."
Nina took a deep breath and braced herself, "Mother-in-law, these are for you, I hope you won’t find them lacking."
With that, she handed over the items she had brought.
She couldn’t bring herself to call them Mom and Dad; calling her mother-in-law had already taken all her courage.
Mrs. Lancaster laughed and quickly said, "You’re back at your own home, why spend so much on gifts."
That phrase, "your own home," along with the amiable attitude of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster, directly dispelled Nina Sinclair’s feelings of awkwardness.
After Mrs. Lancaster spoke, she softly said to the girl beside her, "Chloe, help Nina bring these things in and put them away."
The girl sitting next to Mrs. Lancaster was Chloe Langley, the daughter of the Lancaster driver, Mr. Li. Nina Sinclair was aware of Sharon Lancaster’s real identity, so the real sister couldn’t appear.
Thus, they had to find someone else to play the role.
Fortunately, Mr. Li’s daughter, Chloe Langley, was about the same age as Sharon Lancaster, making it hard to see through the disguise.
The girl, upon seeing Nina Sinclair earlier, had a scrutinizing look in her eyes, sizing Nina Sinclair up from head to toe.
She snorted lightly in her heart.
Nina Sinclair did look very beautiful, probably it was just her appearance that attracted Julian Lancaster, but Julian hadn’t revealed his identity to her, probably not trusting her, thinking she was an opportunistic woman. The most update n0vels are published on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt
Chloe Langley, with a master’s degree from abroad, was also quite attractive, and had some pride in her heart.
She had known Julian Lancaster since childhood, as her father worked for the Lancaster family.
Chloe had always aimed to be close to Julian Lancaster, studying hard and improving herself, wanting to be the best.
She hadn’t expected Nina Sinclair to suddenly appear before she could become Julian Lancaster’s girlfriend.
She had been upset over this for quite some time.
However, last night Mrs. Lancaster suddenly approached her, informing her that Julian Lancaster and Nina Sinclair were getting a divorce, and they needed her help, asking her to pretend to be Julian Lancaster’s sister.
She was overjoyed at the time, thinking that if Julian and Nina were to divorce, her opportunity would finally come.
She immediately agreed to Mrs. Lancaster’s request.
Chloe Langley quickly suppressed her thoughts, and with a sweet smile, she familiarly said, "Alright, Mom."
Having said that, she stepped forward to take the gifts from Nina Sinclair’s hands.
Nina handed over the items, but couldn’t shake the uncomfortable feeling she got from Chloe Langley’s gaze.
It seemed like she was full of caution and hostility, though it wasn’t very obvious, but Nina’s keen observance picked it up.
Big-hearted as she was, Nina didn’t dwell on it, thinking perhaps Julian Lancaster’s sister was meeting her for the first time and wasn’t well-acquainted with her yet.
No sooner had she begun to think, Mrs. Lancaster warmly invited her to sit down, "Nina, come sit."
