In the living room, Ruby Sinclair and Hazel Lennox sat with gloomy expressions.
Byron Sinclair had just called Nina Sinclair and Julian Lancaster into the study, and they hadn’t co out since. No one knew what he would say to her.
Ruby Sinclair felt that ever since Nina Sinclair returned, Byron Sinclair had been exceptionally close to her. She thought Byron still cared about Nina deep down. Earlier at the birthday banquet, coupled with Nina’s harsh defiance, she was almost furious to the point of exploding.
Just the thought of Nina soon returning to the Sinclair Group made her feel maddeningly murderous.
anwhile, inside the study.
Byron Sinclair was seated in a chair, pointing to the chairs in front of him, he said, "Sit down first."
The two both sat down in the chairs. Nina Sinclair looked at Byron and suddenly realized he seed much older than before. Unnoticed by her, Byron had grown quite a few gray hairs, even at his temples.
He appeared to have aged.
Past mories ca flooding back: her pestering Byron to buy things when she was little, his unconditional pampering, and his affair with Hazel Lennox. These complicated situations mixed together, making Nina Sinclair’s emotions extrely complex.
Nina Sinclair pressed her lips tightly without speaking.
Actually, when Byron Sinclair separated from her mother, Nina wasn’t particularly concerned. She was upset that Byron helped Hazel Lennox, and after her mother had a car accident, he stood by and did nothing.
This was also the reason why she worked hard alone to earn money back then.
Seeing Nina Sinclair, Byron also began reminiscing about the past. He took a deep breath and asked, "Nina, do you still bla Dad now?"
Nina Sinclair didn’t speak.
To say she didn’t bla would definitely be impossible, but her resentnt towards Byron had significantly diminished.
At least she wasn’t as resentful as before when facing him, nor did she refuse to speak to him.
After a mont of silence, Nina Sinclair said, "Of course I bla you."
If Byron hadn’t had an affair back then, their family wouldn’t have fallen apart.
Perhaps sensing Nina’s low mood, Julian Lancaster reached out and pulled her into his embrace, gently patting her back.
Nina Sinclair seed very reliant on Julian, slling the familiar scent on him, she felt incredibly safe, and all her inner agitation vanished.
Byron saw the mutual trust between Nina and Julian, his expression darkened.
Initially, he wanted to tell Nina about sothing, but now suddenly changed his mind.
Precisely because his relationship with Nina’s mother was poor, he hoped Nina could find the happiness she desired, rather than suffering a lifeti like their generation.
Having thought it through, Byron said sternly, "Nina, you should leave now, I need to chat with him."
Nina hesitated for a mont.
Julian chuckled, "Don’t worry about , I’ve t your father before."
Upon hearing this, Nina recalled that last ti they t was at Vincent Lancaster’s wedding, back then Byron had already talked with Julian, so there shouldn’t be anything concerning now.
Cald by Julian’s reassurance, Nina left the study.
Once the study door closed, leaving only Julian and Byron, Byron looked seriously at Julian and asked, "Do you know about Nina’s mother?"
