Nina Sinclair said blankly, "Wha... what do you an?"
Julian Lancaster replied, "My parents are not in good health, our divorce would upset them. Let’s wait until they’re ready before we tell them."
"How long...how long do we wait?" Nina hesitated.
Julian was silent for a mont. He seed to think of sothing, his expression softened a bit, and then he said gently, "We had agreed on a tiline earlier; there’s still half a year left. Let’s wait another six months before getting divorced, alright?"
He rembered Mrs. Lancaster’s words; she was the one who reminded him, so he decided to put in effort for another half a year.
Nina bit her lip lightly and said nothing.
Actually, what she was thinking was that even if they told Julian’s parents six months later, they would still know eventually. Since the outco would be the sa, there was no need to go through this extra step.
Seeing him again now made her sowhat reluctant to part. By then, she might be even more unwilling to leave.
Wasn’t he afraid that she might cling to his leg and refuse to divorce in six months?
Before her brain could react, Nina’s mouth blurted out two words, "Alright."
Afterward, she felt a bit embarrassed.
Why did she seem so eager? It was really shaful; would he make fun of her?
Upon hearing her answer, Julian’s eyes showed a faint smile.
He took out a card and handed it to Nina, saying, "Since we’ve agreed, I’ll return this card to you. You don’t need to borrow money from Ethan Sherman to repay ; give the card back to him."
Nina stared blankly at the card in front of her, it was the money she had received when she sold the pair of rings last ti. Actually, Julian still didn’t want her to be in debt, which was why he proposed waiting another six months, right?
Was he thinking about her interests?
A sense of warmth filled her heart; he really was a man of good character.
This amount wasn’t small, if he were greedy, he might have accepted it without a second thought.
Nina explained, "This money was earned by myself; I didn’t borrow it from Ethan, so you don’t need to worry about the repaynt."
Julian was sowhat surprised; this was entirely unexpected.
She didn’t borrow money from Ethan to give him?
Seeing Julian’s skeptical expression, Nina said, "What kind of look is that? Do you really think I couldn’t earn five million with my skills?"
The impoverishnt she experienced was entirely due to her decision to abandon everything from the past and avoid anything related to jewelry design; otherwise, she wouldn’t have had such a hard ti.
Julian’s expression shifted from initial astonishnt to gradual calmness, and eventually a bit of joy erged from him.
Nina didn’t owe Ethan anything, which was good for him.
Luckily, he gave himself and Nina a chance.
Julian said, "No, you’re very impressive."
Hearing him praise her, Nina smiled.
Suddenly, she rembered sothing and said worriedly, "Tomorrow your parents have invited us to dinner, should I bring so gifts? Today’s eting was so unexpected, I am completely unprepared."
"Don’t worry, they’re not stingy, it’s okay if you don’t bring anything."
"How can that be right? It’d be rude to go empty-handed. Oh, and what about your sister? She will be at dinner too, right? What kind of things does she like? I guess I have to prepare properly."
Nina rembered that his sister was married and was a housewife.
Moreover, there were his several nephews. She also needed to prepare sothing the kids would like.
Julian’s expression was slightly stiff; how had he forgotten he had a sister?
Where was he supposed to find one?
