Nina Sinclair looked up in surprise at Joel Thatcher upon hearing the words, not expecting that he actually knew.
"You know about my mother and Uncle Julian?"
Upon hearing Nina Sinclair’s words, Joel Thatcher imdiately realized that Nina indeed knew. So does that an she had a fight with Julian Lancaster?
Joel Thatcher’s heart suddenly surged with a blazing passion.
If Nina Sinclair had fallen out with Julian, doesn’t that an he has a chance?
Under Nina’s questioning, Joel awkwardly said, "Uh... I overheard it when Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen were talking."
At that ti, he was just waiting for an opportunity, knowing that this matter would eventually blow up.
Now his opportunity truly had co.
The spirit that had been subdued by Julian Lancaster’s oppression instantly reignited in Joel, and his gaze at Nina grew increasingly fervent.
...
anwhile, Sharon Lancaster had just arrived at Lancaster Group.
She pushed the office door open and walked in, imdiately seeing her brother seated at the desk. He appeared calm, still handling work at a leisurely pace, just like yesterday.
Sharon knocked on the desk and said, "Brother, why are you still here? Do you know what Nina just told in her reply? She’s going to the hospital to visit her mother. That’s Joel Thatcher’s hospital, and now that Nina is divorced from you, she’s single. Who knows, sothing might spark between her and that man!"
After speaking, Sharon worried it wasn’t enough to provoke Julian.
She earnestly continued, "Besides, I called to comfort Nina yesterday. She didn’t seem sad at all. Who knows, she might quickly get involved with another man now!"
Julian Lancaster’s brow furrowed.
He wasn’t sure if it was hearing that Nina felt nothing, or that she was eting Joel Thatcher.
Just as Sharon was about to egg him on further, Julian suddenly stood up, taking his jacket. Sharon quickly followed, puzzled, "Brother, where are you going?"
"To win back my wife."
"Huh?" Sharon was montarily stunned, then burst into laughter. She had thought her brother would show no reaction at all, but it turned out he was actually anxious and couldn’t sit still any longer!
Julian was already heading out, and Sharon hurried to catch up, "Brother, wait up for !"
...
Inside a restaurant near the hospital.
Nina Sinclair and Joel Thatcher were sitting in a booth having a al. To thank Joel for helping care for her mother, she had offered to treat him to dinner. Joel was naturally eager to have a al alone with Nina, and imdiately agreed.
The two sat in a booth at a nearby restaurant.
Unbeknownst to them, not far away, Sharon and Julian had disguised themselves and were also there.
"Brother, look at how Joel gazes at Nina, his affection is practically overflowing," Sharon whispered to Julian while eyeing Nina over there.
Julian raised his eyes to look over; Joel was staring down at Nina intently, unmistakably with a man looking at a woman.
In truth, Joel wasn’t bad either; he was a good match for Nina. If he really took this opportunity to strike up sothing with her, it wasn’t impossible.
"I think Joel and Nina look quite compatible, and since they grew up together, there shouldn’t be any family conflicts, right? Maybe Joel’s mother is very fond of Nina. Brother, seems like your rival isn’t simple," Sharon mused, but after speaking, Julian’s warning glance imdiately silenced her.
