<h4>Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Don’t Move, Let Me Hold You for a Moment</h4>


    Sharon Lancaster said earnestly, "Yeah, wasn’t it because Nina Sinir betrayed you by being with Ethan Sherman, which is why you were sulking and drinking?"


    "..."


    Julian Lancaster was somewhat speechless. What on earth was Sharon thinking?


    When was Nina Sinir with Ethan Sherman?


    Julian Lancaster took a deep breath, "She didn’t." But judging by the situation, it might be soon.


    "Huh?" Sharon suddenly widened her eyes, feeling like she’d gone from hell to heaven in an instant.


    Nina Sinir isn’t with Ethan Sherman?


    Then why did he return to the Lancaster family looking like his wife ran off with someone else, drinking alone? It made her think Nina Sinir, her sister-inw, was really gone!


    In a sh, Sharon was energized once again.


    At this moment, Julian Lancaster stepped forward and asked Nina Sinir, "Can you drive?"


    "Yes."


    Julian Lancaster handed the car keys to Nina Sinir.


    He had been drinking and it wasn’t convenient for him to drive.


    Even after Julian Lancaster’s car drove away from the Lancaster Residence, Sharon was still in a state of shock, feeling like she was dreaming.


    Tonight had been a most turbulent night; she was nearly frightened to death. Thankfully, it was just a false rm.


    ...


    The car was smoothly driving on the road, with Julian Lancaster sitting in the passenger seat, his headzily resting on the headrest, looking somewhat unwell.


    Nina Sinir asked, "Are you drunk?"


    Julian Lancaster was actually quite fine, but hearing the concern in Nina Sinir’s tone suddenly made him feel better, so he instinctively didn’t refute her.


    Nina Sinir thought he was too ufortable to speak.


    She continued, "We’re almost home. I’ll make you some hangover soup in a bit."


    Subsequently, Nina Sinir slightly increased her speed.


    Soon, they returned to Royal Vista Estates.


    After entering, Nina Sinir went into the kitchen to start making the hangover soup.


    Julian Lancaster sat on the sofa, watching her busy figure in the kitchen, his eyes filled with puzzlement.


    Wasn’t Nina Sinir and Ethan Sherman’s love unbreakable? Then why was she still showing such concern for him?


    Didn’t she know that this would make him even more reluctant to let go?


    Before long, Nina Sinir carefully carried out a bowl of hangover soup.


    Julian Lancaster immediately continued to half-close his eyes, pretending to be drunk.


    Seeing him like this, Nina Sinir thought that this assistant job was really tough, having to drink himself into such a state in the middle of the night.


    How harmful it was to the stomach and body!


    Her eyes showed a hint of distress as she asked with concern, "Are you okay?"


    Julian Lancaster slowly opened his eyes, meeting Nina Sinir’s gaze with his deep eyes.


    Her shiny ck hair was tucked behind her ears, revealing a delicate, fair face. Her clear eyes showed genuine concern.


    Julian Lancaster quietly gazed for a moment before replying softly, "Hmm, I’m fine."


    "Then have some hangover soup; maybe you’ll feel a bit better."


    Nina Sinir ced the bowl in front of him.


    Julian Lancaster didn’t speak, his eyes dark and unfathomable, lost in thought.


    A momentter, he drank some with Nina Sinir’s hand holding the bowl.


    Once the hangover soup was finished, Nina Sinir had just ced the bowl on the nearby table when she was unexpectedly enveloped in a tight embrace.


    She was shrouded in Julian Lancaster’s presence, stunned and puzzled by his actions.


    "Julian... Julian Lancaster?"


    "Don’t move, let me hold you for a moment."


    Nina Sinir dared not move, her mind flooded with thoughts of what Julian Lancaster was doing.


    Was he acting clingy because of the alcohol?


    Or did he simply want to hold her?


    Of course, Nina Sinir didn’t believe it was thetter; he was surely drunk and mistaking her for a pillow.


    Yes! That had to be it!


    Julian Lancaster’s head was nestled against her neck, with his hand gently wrapped around her waist, appearing extremely attached to her.


    Nina Sinir’s heart suddenly began to race.


    Her mind had gone nk, letting him hold her without a fuss.


    A momentter, Julian Lancaster’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear, saying, "Let’s void our contract. I’ll set you free."
