<h4>Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Sharing Each Other’s Little Secrets</h4>
Actually, James Aldridge’s matter is not the main reason.
It was his issue that triggered her childhood trauma, causing her to have nightmares.
It might also be because Byron Sinir appeared.
Nina Sinir stared nkly at the ceiling, and her memories instantly reverted to the past.
As a child, she always thought she was happy. Later, without knowing when it started, her father gradually changed. He was often not at home, and sometimes she wouldn’t see him for a very long time.
When she was ten, upon returning home, she identally stumbled upon her father and that woman, both of them naked in the study, consumed by passion...
She didn’t dare tell her mother, and that was when she began to harbor psychological shadows.
Untilter, when her mother became a vegetative state due to a car ident, her father brought that woman into the Sinir Family.
Nina Sinir always deeply remembered the incident she stumbled into that day, and she had slight resistance to intimate contact between men and women.
During the three years she dated Vincent Lancaster, he had indeed expressed his needs.
But she could never ovee her own barrier.
Julian Lancaster sensed the sadness emanating from Nina Sinir and thought she must have been frightened by James Aldridge. Heforted her, "He will be duly punished, you don’t have to be afraid anymore."
Nina Sinir turned around, carefully moving her hand away, ensuring her body wasn’t pressing down.
Moonlight poured in through the sheer curtains from outside the window, shining on their bed. She saw the moonlight highlighting Julian Lancaster’s exceptionally fine nose and his undting Adam’s apple, which was an extraordinary beauty.
Thinking of how he appeared today like a prince on a white horse, Nina Sinir still felt moved.
"Thank you for today, you were very manly," she said sincerely.
"It’s what I should do."
Nina Sinir silently absorbed these three words, regretting that such a man does not like women.
She thought to herself, Julian Lancaster is an orphan, yet everything he does is extremely gentlemanly. Even without parents, he has excellent upbringing. She wondered what his parents were like, their genes were truly outstanding.
"Julian Lancaster, when did your parents pass away?"
Hearing Nina Sinir’s question, Julian Lancaster turned to look at her, her curious eyes watching him, seemingly eager for the answer.
He lightly coughed, "When I was very young."
In reality, Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster went on a world tour. After Mr. Lancaster handed thepany over to him, they began their retirement life.
"Do you have any other family?"
Julian Lancaster thought for a moment and said, "I have a younger sister."
Nina Sinir was a bit surprised, "So you haven’t been in contact with your sister?"
"No."
"Why?" Nina Sinir asked curiously.
She knew it wasn’t right to pry into others’ secrets, but she was genuinely curious why someone so close wouldn’t be in contact.
Before Julian Lancaster could speak, Nina Sinir spoke up, "I didn’t mean to pry into your privacy. How about I tell you a secret too? Actually, my father and I fell out, so I guess I’m alone now."
She told him about her situation, intending tofort Julian Lancaster, as if to say they shared the same suffering, so there was no need to feel sad.
Julian Lancaster caught her meaning, his lips curled slightly. What an interesting girl.
He smiled faintly, "Is that so?"
"Yes, because he betrayed me and my mom." Nina Sinir looked at Julian Lancaster and said, "It’s your turn now, why did you fall out with your sister?"
"She had five children, busy with her family, no time to contact me." Julian Lancaster casually fabricated an excuse.
"F-Five?!" Nina Sinir was stunned, utterly shocked.
Taking care of one child is challenging enough. Five children must be exhausting. No wonder he didn’t keep in touch with his sister.
She didn’t expect Julian Lancaster’s sister to be a housewife.
Someday she must find time to pay a visit.
