Chapter 519: Chapter 519

After returning home, Julian Lancaster immediately came out to help them carry things into the kitchen.

He asked with concern, "How is it? Are you tired?"

Nina Sinclair laughed and said helplessly, "It’s just grocery shopping, why would I be tired? Alright, I need to quickly deal with these things, or they won’t be fresh and won’t taste good. I just promised Grandma Lancaster that I’d cook.

They arrived here after noon and it was nearing evening by the time they got to the market with Old Madam Lancaster; it was now time for dinner.

The sumptuous and expensive lunch Nina Sinclair had earlier had been mostly digested by now.

After speaking with Julian, she went straight into the kitchen.

Earlier, Grandma Lancaster had mentioned there were no pots and pans here, so they bought new ones, and she needed to clean them, among other tasks.

Julian also rolled up his sleeves to help. When he first met Nina Sinclair, he was not at all skilled in these tasks and had even broken bowls.

But after spending so much time with Nina Sinclair, they had developed a great understanding of each other.

Julian was dicing vegetables with a knife, his head slightly lowered in concentration, and he exuded a masculine charm.

Nina Sinclair was beside him, picking vegetables, and the two worked together seamlessly.

Auntie Ann saw the two busy and joined in to help cook.

Outside, Old Master Lancaster saw Julian, a grown man, actually busying himself in the kitchen, and his face instantly darkened.

Julian’s hands were not meant for this kind of work. Cooking is something the servants should do. For him to rush off and do it himself was beneath his status.

Old Master Lancaster was fuming inside, yet he had nowhere to vent it.

At this moment, Old Madam Lancaster, sitting next to him, said, "Old man, when I went to the market with Nina just now, a fish seller tried to cheat us. Fortunately, Nina was experienced, and we didn’t get fooled. She’s really amazing!"

Old Master Lancaster pursed his lips and said nothing.

It’s just haggling at the market, what’s so amazing about that?

If Nina Sinclair could haggle in the business world, that would truly be impressive! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

Old Madam Lancaster secretly glanced at him and continued, "Oh, you see, ever since Julian has been with Nina, he even learned how to cook. Even if something should happen in the future, he won’t have to worry about going hungry."

"Stop talking nonsense! How could anything happen to our family? Don’t think I don’t know, you’re deliberately saying these things to make me accept that woman. What kind of potion did she give you to make you like her so much?"

Old Master Lancaster held onto his prejudice, his expression sour.

Old Madam Lancaster snorted softly, "Anyway, I just like her. I think she’s the best girl for Julian. Nina is my granddaughter-in-law!"

Hearing Old Madam Lancaster contradict him, Old Master Lancaster’s face grew even darker.

But Old Madam Lancaster wouldn’t indulge him. She said coldly, "Since you hate Nina so much, don’t eat the food she’s cooked tonight. Spare yourself the trouble of eating, just go hungry."

"..." Old Master Lancaster was left speechless.

In the end, he simply stopped talking.

Old Madam Lancaster clearly knew how to deal with Old Master Lancaster. She smiled when she saw he didn’t dare to make a sound.

Old Master Lancaster’s bad temper was . To get him to accept Nina Sinclair in the short term would not be easy.

Perhaps once the competition between Nina Sinclair and Heidi Leighton is over, things will ease up.
