It turned out the man wasn’t making the same taunting remarks that Julian had, but was actually
sincerely asking her a question.
Because he didn’t want to meet women, he only asked a normal question: if she had wanted to meet a
man.
His inability to properly express himself completely matched what her landlord had previously told her.
Diana relaxed and said, “No need. I’ve already signed it and placed it on the table. Just come out and
get it once we leave.”
Julian nodded. “Alright.”
But when Diana reached the door and was about to leave, she turned around to look behind the screen
without much thought. However, the man remained unmoving.
She gave Nina a wink and asked the latter to go out first while making a motion to close the door,
pretending that they had both left the room. In fact, she was waiting in the room to see the true face of
this man.
Diana wouldn’t be completely relieved until she confirmed it. Otherwise, she would always associate
this man with Julian.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Whatever said, “Why aren’t you leaving?”
Diana was stunned. “You can see me from inside the screen?”
She couldn’t see beyond the screen at all from where she was standing, and had thought that the
screens were the same on both sides. It was why she had the bold thought of staying behind to see
who the man really was.
“Of course.”
Julian had these screens made specifically so that he could see outside from the inside, but not the
other way around. He had no choice but to put in more effort to see more of Diana.
At the same time, he was also aware of Diana’s suspicions and that she wasn’t easy to fool.
Now it was all about who had the stronger willpower and who needed the money more. Thus, he
continued, ” If you don’t have the sincerity for this cooperation, Miss Winnington, then we should stop
here.”
From the way he spoke, it was likely he wasn’t Julian.
Diana relaxed again and said, “My friend went to the restroom, and I was waiting for her to return.”
Julian didn’t expose the flaw in her statement and simply said, “Okay.”
After a minute, there was a knock on the door, and Diana opened it.
“Good bye, Mr. Whatever.”
“Goodbye.”
After they left the restaurant, Diana was still trying to sort out her thoughts.
“Do you think he’s really not Julian, Nina?”
Nina was losing patience with how paranoid Diana was being. “Diana, do you miss Julian that much?
Why do you keep thinking about him after meeting that landlord?”
“But when you went into the room and saw the food on the table, you also suspected it was him, didn’t
you?”
“But we’ve checked in secret, haven’t we? Those dishes were the restaurant’s signature dishes, which
overlap with your favorite food,” Nina said with crossed arms. She forced Diana to turn and look her in
the eyes and continued, “Be honest with me, Diana. Are you regretting your divorce from Julian and are
thinking about him all the time?”
“No,” Diana replied exasperatedly. “I just feel that my failure to pull in investments has a lot to do with
Julian.”
She briefly told Nina the reasons so many people had rejected her.
“More than one person said they wouldn’t end up with any good consequences if they helped me.
Julian keeps asking me if I need money, and that he’d be willing to give me what I need. I keep feeling
like he’s playing with me and is trying to get me to submit to him.”
“Why would he do that?” Nina asked. “Do you think he still cares about you and likes you?”
“Of course not,” Diana said, shaking her head. “I know very well the person he likes is Kayla.”
Nina nodded. “Then that’s all there is to it. Perhaps it’s just a string of coincidences. Don’t overthink it,
okay?
“But…” Diana said hesitantly. “What if Mr. Whatever is really Julian, or someone he hired? If I really use
his money, what would that make me?”
Compared to this humiliation, Julian’s unpredictable heart scared Diana even more.
