Chapter 31
If Diana asked Oliver for help, raising fifteen million within a month would be a very simple task.Before she could properly feel dismayed by the thought, Julian added on a new condition. “You can’t return fifteen million all at once. I get to decide how the repayment is done,” Julian said firmly.Since Diana was the one who used the money, she had no choice but to cooperate as best she could. “How do you want it to be repaid?”“You can only transfer six hundred dollars in each transaction. You can do this an infinite number of times as long as you repay the full amount within one month,” he replied.Diana shivered at the thought of the number of transactions she needed to make. That meant she had even less time to raise the money. Suddenly, it became an even more urgent matter.Diana couldn’t take it anymore. “Julian!” she screamed.“If you can’t do it, then there won’t be a divorce,” Julian said. It was Diana’s own choice to be with Oliver, the man Julian felt most annoyed wit

Diana only realized it had rained last night after leaving the bedroom and that the weather had clearly become colder.She felt a little chilly after arriving downstairs. Just as she was about to head back into the room to put on an extra layer of clothing, Julian handed her a cardigan. “You need to look after yourself even if you have a debt to pay. Don’t catch a cold.”Diana thought that Julian was a strange man. They had been arguing intensely just the night before, and yet here he was, offering her a cardigan.Despite his act of kindness, his words annoyed her.“I wouldn’t dare trouble my creditor.” Diana didn’t reach for the cardigan. Instead, she replied in a nonchalant tone, “I hate black-and-white stripes.”This color reminded her of the dress that the other woman had bought before she could and how Julian liked that woman more than he did her.Diana didn’t want to make herself sad.Julian quickly saw through her. “You’re still holding a grudge?! It was only a dress.”O

Diana was still trapped in her disappointment toward Julian, so she never expected that he would actually sit down to accompany her.The two of them remained unusually quiet throughout the meal.Diana didn’t have much of an appetite. All she ate was bread and butter. She left everything else practically untouched.Julian asked a maid to take all the food away before finally speaking. “Didn’t you use to like Yorkshire pudding?”The Fulcher family didn’t have a habit of eating carbohydrates for breakfast. Back when Diana suddenly wanted to eat these foods, Julian personally drove for an hour to buy them from a stall outside.Julian couldn’t remember clearly, but he recalled she might have kissed him for it back then. And after that, he only realized there was pudding crumbs on his face after arriving at the office. For a long time after that, people who came over for business talks would bring him the best pastries in town.Julian couldn’t resist looking at Diana after recalling th

Julian was enraged. "Reminding you with my presence? Do you think I care about fifteen million dollars?""Don't you?" Diana seemed very calm in comparison. "If you didn't care, why did you want me to repay you?"Diana did have plans to return the fifteen million dollars to him, but she thought she would take her time to do it. She wasn't expecting Julian to threaten her into paying him back."Because!" Julian immediately stopped himself. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was an air of superiority about him. Suddenly, he changed his mind."Why should I tell you?"Diana chuckled. "It doesn't matter."Anyway, the fact he was forcing her to repay him proved he didn't want the best for her.He was simply trying to make life difficult for her. She was certain he was merely punishing her on behalf of the woman who had been pointlessly waiting for her all morning."Don't worry," Diana said after taking a deep breath. She suppressed her sadness as she spoke. "I won't go back on

"Nina!" Diana immediately cut Nina off. "We've only just met. I don't even have his phone number. Do you, like Julian, think that I'd…""No, no." Nina slapped herself to reprimand herself. "Why did I even say that? From how you described him, I think he's a decent person. If the opportunity arises, I think we might've just found your baby a new father…"Nina had always spoken her mind, and she certainly had an imaginative one. Diana wasn't upset. "I’ll be enough for my baby. Besides, he's too good to want to have anything to do with me."Oliver had helped Diana out yesterday, and she treated him to a meal in return. That was where things ended for them."Don't bring this up ever again," Diana said."Alright, alright. Anyway, I'm the baby's godmother. I'll definitely shower the baby with affection after it's born!" Nina replied.The two grew excited as soon as they started talking about the baby. In fact, they talked about everything, from the fetus to the color of the baby's clot

Chapter 36
Suffice to say, Kate was ashamed of Diana.Diana was also the reason why other rich housewives criticized Kate for not being a good mother and not deserving her seat among them. In fact, someone even pointed out that only a woman from a small town like Kate would give birth to a hillbilly like Diana.People only stopped saying such things after Diana married into the Fulcher family. However, that was only the case when Diana didn't show up in Kate's life.All things considered, Kate wouldn't possibly be welcoming of Diana.Besides…Thanks to Diana, Kate had been humiliated by Julian a few days ago.If it weren’t for Kayla, whose heart went out to Kate, who cried and begged Julian not to hurt Kate, she might've been beaten up and ended up with swollen cheeks!The thought of Kayla brought a certain gentleness to Kate's eyes. She no longer sounded as annoyed as she did before. "Why are you here again?"Even if Diana had expected Kate to behave coldly to her, she still felt hurt by

Diana was stunned. She looked at Kate in disbelief. "What do you know?"Kate knew everything!Upon recalling the way Julian looked at her previously, Kate didn't dare to say too much. "If nothing went wrong, why would my wonderful son-in-law not care about you when that incident happened last time? Besides, you wouldn't have shown up out of the blue for the first time in three years just to demand money. The only explanation is that Julian no longer wants to spend money on you, but you've gotten used to the good life. You don't want to live like a poor person. That's why you came to me for your so-called child support."It was all an excuse! Diana merely wanted money.Kate behaved as if she was the bigger person. "To be honest, I'll give you any amount you want as long as you're willing to leave him."Diana found this a little odd. "What do you mean, as long as I'm willing to leave him?"Nobody else should have found out about her getting a divorce with Julian.Had Julian leak

"Fifteen million dollars." Diana retracted her hand. She didn't want to touch the cup. "I want fifteen million dollars," she repeated frankly.Kate stared at her in disbelief. "Are you mad?"Diana was asking for fifteen million as if it was an insignificant amount. "Do you think the Winningtons owns a bank?!"How was Kate supposed to fork out so much money?"You owe me this much." Diana began reciting the speech she prepared before coming here. "You have two days to think about it. Discuss this thoroughly with James."Kate was still willing to speak to Diana, but James practically treated Diana as if she was non-existent. In fact, to him, she was worse than trash out on the street.Hence, Diana was sensible enough not to address James as her father."What about your divorce with Julian?" Kate asked."If you want to find out more from me, answer my earlier question first," Diana said.Diana felt as if the entire world was against her whenever that woman was brought up. It had b

People she met on the way would greet her. “Hello, Miss.”“Hi, Miss.”Diana looked at her mother, who kept her head down and was walking in front of Diana, and felt a slight sense of belonging. Whenever a maid walked by, Diana would smile in acknowledgment.However, those maids seemed a little surprised. They evidently walked faster after seeing her nod in their direction.Diana didn't think much of it. Although this wasn't her first time coming to Winnington Mansion, it was the first time she'd stayed here without getting into an argument. This feeling of warmth didn't come easy. And so, Diana appreciated it a lot.After walking through a 30-foot-long corridor, Diana and Kate finally arrived in the dining room. There was a large, round table in the dining room. It looked much more suitable for a big family than the long table in the Fulcher family's dining room."Have a seat." Kate might not have a lot to say, but she no longer seemed as angry as before. Diana could sense Kate w

Kate sighed in a barely noticeable manner. She slowly let go of Diana's hands. "Alright. It's just the two of us anyway. Three main dishes and a soup will do."Kate didn't even turn around to ask Diana what she would like to eat.Diana was a little disappointed by that, but she also knew that this outcome was already good enough, and it didn't come easy. She wasn't about to ask for more.If Kate were willing to accept her, there would be many more occasions like this in the future. Diana was in no rush.After Lucy's interruption, neither of them spoke again.Kate seemed a little distracted. After the meal, Lucy asked a maid to bring the desserts over. Only then did Kate seem a little more energetic. "Serve everything."The maid was very thoughtful. Not only did she place the plate in front of Diana, but she also cut everything into small pieces before handing Diana her cutlery."Ms. Kayla, this is your favorite chestnut cake," the maid said.Ms. Kayla?Did the maid think she w
