Chapter 368: Chapter 368

At Royal Vista Estates, after Nina Sinclair returned, she showered first. Once she was done, Julian Lancaster still hadn’t come back, so she simply sat on the sofa watching TV while waiting for him.

The door clicked open; Julian Lancaster was back.

As he came in, his deep eyes landed on her, as if something was on his mind. By the time Nina Sinclair looked carefully, it had already disappeared.

Nina Sinclair spoke first: "Was Sharon safely sent home?"

Julian Lancaster put down his keys and walked in, "Mm, she was sent back."

He sat next to Nina Sinclair and asked in a deep voice: "Why did you suddenly ask about Heidi Leighton a couple of days ago?"

Nina Sinclair was taken aback.

At the time, she thought Julian Lancaster knew about the Heidi Leighton matter and asked with a bit of emotion, but later found out he didn’t, so her frustration disappeared.

Why is he suddenly asking about it now?

"No particular reason, just a bit curious."

Julian Lancaster frowned slightly and asked, "Did the Leighton family contact you?"

"Mm, Heidi Leighton approached me, claiming to be your fiancée!" Since Julian Lancaster had already spoken up, Nina Sinclair decided not to hide anything. She said with a hint of resentment, "She even warned me."

Seeing the dissatisfaction on Nina Sinclair’s face, Julian Lancaster’s expression softened quite a bit.

He reached out and pulled Nina Sinclair into his arms, "That’s her self-claiming. I don’t have any fiancée, only a legally wedded wife."

Hearing Julian Lancaster’s soft voice, Nina Sinclair’s heart fluttered slightly.

She hadn’t put much thought into this matter, so Julian Lancaster’s explanation further eased all her misgivings.

"You don’t have to worry, I didn’t misunderstand. That’s just a match your aunt tried to set up for you. I won’t get angry over it."

Julian Lancaster showed slight surprise.

He hadn’t expected Nina Sinclair to think Heidi Leighton was someone his aunt found?

That worked well, saving him from explaining things about his grandfather; so let Nina Sinclair think that way. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt

But Nina Sinclair’s composure was not necessarily a good thing in his view.

Julian Lancaster asked: "I thought if another woman approached you, you’d be mad at me and throw a fit."

He didn’t want to see Nina Sinclair so indifferent.

"Because I know you weren’t aware of this matter, so I didn’t react. Besides, you are now my husband in name, even if someone wants to steal you away temporarily, it’s impossible. I’m not senseless enough to get upset over such pointless things."

Nina Sinclair was quite confident about this. Even if Julian Lancaster truly wanted to leave, dealing with procedures and other arrangements would be quite a hassle.

Hearing Nina Sinclair’s words, Julian Lancaster’s eyes slightly narrowed.

Suddenly, he leaned forward, pressing Nina Sinclair into the sofa, "Nina, I’m your husband in reality, one who can do everything any couple does."

Nina Sinclair hadn’t expected him to do this all of a sudden, and her mind went blank, filled with panic.

She couldn’t help but recall the Goldenleaf Manor incident afterward, feeling scared and helpless, unsure of how to face Julian Lancaster.

There was even some psychological shadow, making her unable to open her heart completely.

Caught off guard just now by his pressure, the sudden movements caused her collar to pull open widely. Julian Lancaster looked down at the beautiful scene before him, his eyes growing darker.

He said in a deep voice, "Nina, shall we try again?"

This time, he would certainly not make her uncomfortable.

Hearing his words, Nina Sinclair suddenly panicked, what did he mean by try again?
