Chapter 480: Chapter 480
"It’s Vincent Lancaster..." Nina Sinclair was much relieved psychologically now and had mentally prepared for the worst. Now that Julian Lancaster asked about the details, she didn’t hide anything anymore and could easily speak out.
Julian Lancaster continued to ask, "How did Vincent Lancaster say it to you?"
Nina Sinclair said in a muffled voice, "At that time, I asked the staff at the manor, and they said it was the owner of the Goldenleaf Manor who saved me. When I went to find out who the owner was, Vincent Lancaster suddenly appeared. He was also at the manor that day, and he told me he was the one who saved me..."
Julian Lancaster’s brows furrowed even tighter.
He asked, "The reason you kept rejecting my approach before was that you were afraid I’d find out about this?"
Nina Sinclair took a deep breath and said dejectedly, "That’s right, I was afraid once you found out, you wouldn’t want me anymore."
Even though her confessing now was almost the same as the initial result, at least she relieved her psychological burden and no longer had to live in fear every day.
After Nina Sinclair finished speaking, she lowered her head and quietly awaited Julian Lancaster’s judgment.
Time passed by, second by second.
Julian Lancaster remained silent, a strange silence filled the room, and the air around seemed frozen and stagnant.
Just as Nina Sinclair couldn’t hold it any longer and was about to speak, she suddenly heard a low chuckle from Julian Lancaster.
Was he... laughing at her?
The scenario Nina Sinclair had imagined was him angrily questioning her or a huge argument leading to divorce.
But she hadn’t expected this situation in front of her, Julian Lancaster actually laughed? Follow current novels on ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
Could it be he was so shocked that he went crazy?
"Julian Lancaster, are you okay?" Nina Sinclair looked at Julian with some concern, "Please don’t get too emotional. Actually, although I was at fault, I didn’t mean to cheat. You... don’t take it too hard..."
Not knowing how to comfort Julian Lancaster, her words were a bit incoherent, and she tried her best to find words to speak with him.
Unexpectedly, in such a state, she still had to comfort Julian Lancaster, and Nina Sinclair felt like she wanted to cry.
The curve at Julian Lancaster’s mouth didn’t fade as he stood up, approached Nina Sinclair, then placed both hands on her shoulders, looking down at her, and slowly said, "The person who saved you at the Goldenleaf Manor... was me."
The person who saved you at the Goldenleaf Manor was me! The person who saved you was me??
The one who saved her was Julian Lancaster!!!
How could it possibly be Julian Lancaster? It couldn’t be him!
Nina Sinclair completely didn’t believe Julian Lancaster’s words, thinking he said that only to comfort her, that he must be lying to her!
Perhaps Julian Lancaster didn’t mind her affairs and wanted to be with her, so he deceived her .
Thinking of this, Nina Sinclair felt even more like crying.
Julian Lancaster was a good man, and it was her fault; she did something that let him down.
Seeing Nina Sinclair didn’t believe him, Julian Lancaster looked somewhat helpless and emphasized again, "Nina, what I just said, that the one who saved you at Goldenleaf Manor was me, wasn’t to comfort you, nor was it to lie to you. Do you understand? It was me who saved you, not Vincent Lancaster."
Hearing this, Nina Sinclair slowly raised her head to look at Julian Lancaster, staring intently at his handsome face, her expression changed.
Nina Sinclair’s eyes widened, showing an expression of extreme shock, seemingly unable to believe such a reversal.
After a while, she asked, "You... how could you be at the Goldenleaf Manor? I didn’t see you that day, how could it be..."
"That day I..." Julian Lancaster paused, then continued, "That day I went to the manor for a small matter."
Suddenly, Nina Sinclair thought of something else.
She murmured in confusion, "But those staff said it was the owner of the manor who saved me, are you the owner?"
With Julian Lancaster’s status, how could he own such a manor?
That wasn’t something ordinary people could afford, just having the land itself was invaluable, without absolute power and money, how could it be possible?
