Even though an apology had been made, Julian Lancaster’s expression remained sour.
Nina Sinclair didn’t understand why Julian was suddenly angry. If he was upset about her bringing Ethan Sherman back without permission, she had already apologized. What more did he want?
Even though she liked Julian, she wasn’t a woman with a love-struck mind, able to tolerate his inexplicable temper unconditionally.
Suppressing her anger, Nina said, "I already apologized to you just now. If you don’t want an apology, there’s nothing I can do. If you want to be angry, just continue being angry."
Julian Lancaster’s thin lips were pressed into a straight line, and the pressure around him was extrely low.
If Nina had followed his words and tried to soothe him, maybe he would have cald down, but her reluctant apology just ignited his anger further.
Yet, he couldn’t vent his anger at Nina.
How could he have thought that just because Nina accepted his gift, he had surpassed Ethan in her heart?
It was simply ridiculous!
Nina felt that Julian seed strange at this mont. The way he looked at her was as if she had wronged him, with those deep eyes carrying a trace of heart-wrenching loneliness.
Seeing such an expression, her heart softened instinctively.
Just as she was about to apologize again, Julian suddenly turned around and strode towards the door.
It wasn’t until the sound of the door closing echoed that Nina realized Julian had left in anger, his furious expression still vivid in her mind.
She imdiately chased to the door, but outside there was no sign of him.
Nina went to the elevator, seeing it slowly descending until it finally stopped at the underground parking lot.
Had Julian left?
She stood there sowhat dazed. It was the first ti she had fought with Julian over sothing so trivial. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, her eyes gradually reddening, her heart sour and uncomfortable.
She took out her phone and dialed Julian’s number, but on the other end, it showed that he was busy, remaining in an unanswered state.
She sent Julian a ssage, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any response.
...
Julian drove away from Royal Vista Estates, with no destination in mind, just continuing to drive forward.
He didn’t want to hurt Nina with his anger, so he chose to leave temporarily.
If Ethan hadn’t appeared, he would have had the patience to pursue Nina slowly, waiting for her to have a change of heart. But Ethan’s appearance disrupted his entire plan.
He almost couldn’t control his rage.
While driving, his phone rang in his pocket.
Julian took it out for a glance; it was Louis Quinn calling.
He answered the call, and Louis’s voice ca through the car’s Bluetooth, "Julian, we’ve caught the person sending anonymous ssages behind the scenes. You won’t guess who it is."
Julian was already in a gloomy and irritated mood, with little patience for Louis’s guessing ga, and coldly uttered two words, "Who is it?"
Although soone was interfering, it was a fact that Nina had brought Ethan back to their ho.
Louis’s voice, filled with a teasing tone, ca from the other end of the line, "It’s your dear nephew, Vincent Lancaster. Is he just bored? But why would he send soone to ssage ? Could he be misunderstanding sothing?"
Julian furrowed his brow tightly.
Vincent’s intentions weren’t hard to discern. Perhaps he still couldn’t forget Nina, and by stirring up trouble, he thought he could patch things up with her.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but curse under his breath.
One unrequited love, Ethan, was already more than enough, and now there was a forr boyfriend, Vincent.
