Chapter 385

Julian tried to call Diana several times, but she didn't pick up. He thought for a long time, unable to understand why Diana had said all those things. She even said he had sent Kayla flowers... What a joke! When had he given Kayla flowers? He hadn't even seen Kayla’s face since he figured out what he wanted to do, which was forcing Kayla to drink the remaining drugs she had given Albert to feed Diana. In fact, he had done so with the intent of severing all relationships with her. He didn't even care about the fact that Kayla had once saved him. Yet, Diana thought he still loved Kayla. What exactly must he do for Diana to believe that he genuinely loved her? Julian's eyes turned red. He felt like he was trapped in a dead end; even as an expert in finding solutions, he couldn’t see any way out. For the first time, a deep sense of frustration filled his heart. He couldn't help but keep thinking about it, and he couldn't stop the heartache that throbbed painfully when he did. He had gotten back together with Diana, not for the sake of the babies. He had divorced her, not because he didn't love her. And yet, why on earth did Diana refuse to believe every word he said? Did she believe Oliver? Yes, she did. It was obvious by the smile on her face. It felt like he had been hit by a ton of bricks. "Diana..." Did she...really like Oliver now? When he reached this conclusion, he felt like a beast trapped in a corner. He couldn't beat her will, no matter how strong he was or how much he struggled. At this moment, he came to the sorrowful realization that perhaps Diana might really no longer love him. - Back at the restaurant, Oliver and Diana were surrounded by many other people who were also enjoying their own meals. There was plenty of food on their table, but Diana's mind was obviously somewhere else. The words she had said to Julian amid her anger were still echoing repeatedly in her mind. Oliver poured her a cup of water, yet she still didn't react. The food before them was steaming hot, and Oliver had never appreciated how appetizing the food in this restaurant looked. More importantly, it wasn't the taste that was great. Rather, it was because this was the first time Diana was here with him. He was sure of his feelings for the woman sitting opposite him. No other woman was able to make him feel this way. He even willingly ate some peppers, which he usually didn't like. The spiciness spread on his tongue and his taste buds, but he didn't feel it choking him as it did before. Instead, it simply tasted different compared to the milder flavored dishes he usually ordered. Of course, the reason for that was because whenever he looked up, he could see the woman who sat across from him. Deep down, Oliver knew he shouldn't be having such thoughts about Diana. She had just lost her babies and gotten a divorce, but he couldn't stop the feelings in him from spreading like overgrown weeds. He felt that if he didn't take action, he wouldn’t be able to control his urge to confess to her. And so, he picked up his water and sipped at it slowly. The spicy taste in his mouth grew stronger instantly, but his expression remained unchanged until the water thoroughly washed down the heat. He put down his glass, met Diana's eyes, and said kindly, "If something has upset you, perhaps you can tell me about it?"
