Chapter 370: Chapter 370
Julian Lancaster took two cold showers, yet he still felt incredibly hot all over.
After coming out, he saw Nina Sinclair’s breathing had steadied, and she was already asleep.
This little ungrateful one, it seemed he was the only one suffering.
Julian Lancaster lay down on the bed. Nina Sinclair turned over, facing his direction, and he glanced down at her sweet little face just inches away.
His heart stirred slightly, and he lowered his head to gently kiss her lips.
Nina Sinclair’s brows furrowed slightly. As her breathing gradually became difficult, Julian Lancaster released her.
Once free, Nina Sinclair burrowed eagerly into his arms, seemingly craving his warm embrace. After finding a comfortable position, she fell back into a deep sleep.
Julian Lancaster let out a helpless sigh.
She was so resistant just now, yet now she seemed incredibly attached to him.
So could it be considered that Nina Sinclair was not rejecting him, but because last time he didn’t give her a good experience, which left a psychological shadow and made her resistant?
Finally, he pulled the blanket up to cover them both, then held her soft body, and together they drifted into sleep.
Another new day began.
In the morning, when Nina Sinclair got up, she looked beside the bed, but Julian Lancaster was already gone. She thought he was angry about what happened last night.
Unexpectedly, after washing up and changing clothes, she went out and saw him sitting at the dining table.
"Awake? Come have breakfast."
He seemed as if nothing had happened, just like usual. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
At that moment, Nina Sinclair’s affection for him reached an unprecedented height. He wasn’t angry at her rejection, nor did he give her a cold shoulder.
She recalled when she was dating Vincent Lancaster, he suggested doing that kind of thing.
Back then she refused in fear, and even after explaining to Vincent Lancaster, he was still angry. He ignored her for a full two weeks until she felt guilty and apologized to him, and they reconciled.
Even after apologizing, he was awkward for a while and showed her quite a few displeased looks.
However, Julian Lancaster was not angry, and his emotions were stable, not blaming her.
He’s truly a good man!
Nina Sinclair brushed off the chaotic thoughts in her mind and walked over to sit at the dining table to have breakfast with him.
After eating, Julian Lancaster drove Nina Sinclair to the company.
Nina Sinclair already knew about Sierra Sinclair and Vincent Lancaster being dismissed through Millie Langley, and when she found out, she exclaimed it was gratifying!
President Lancaster really did something that made her happy.
She no longer had to face the disgusting Vincent Lancaster, which was also a benefit to her, even brightening her mood at work.
Upon entering, Nina Sinclair noticed a group surrounding Rebecca Lowell.
"Rebecca, you must look out for us in the future!"
"We’re your good colleagues, and now that you’re Mrs. Zenith, you mustn’t forget us!"
"Yeah, Rebecca, I’ve treated you to food quite a bit before. We have the best relationship. Don’t forget me."
As Nina Sinclair passed by, she heard these flattering words.
She accurately captured a few key phrases among them.
Are they talking about Rebecca Lowell?
Just now, she was praising President Lancaster’s decision to fire Vincent Lancaster, and now watching Rebecca Lowell act with the demeanor of a mistress, she suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
Once that woman had power, she’d definitely find various ways to trouble her.
It seems she needs to prepare herself mentally in advance.
