Previously, upon Maddie's suggestion, Diana had created a chat group, but the three brothers in the group rarely spoke since they noticed Maddie was also a member. Eventually, the chat group dissolved. After creating the chat group, Diana pondered a bit and changed the group name to "The Handsome Brothers" before sending out a message. [Diana: Brothers, look over here! If there's anything, feel free to talk about it in the group~]Soon enough, someone replied, and to Diana's surprise, it was her second oldest brother Ben.[Ben: Did Diana create this group? Am I dreaming? Have I fallen for a scam?]Diana was a bit puzzled.[Diana: Ben, how come you're here? Aren't you supposed to be training at this time?][Ben: We had a company outing today, and I just came back after dinner...training every day is so tiring, can I get a hug?][Diana: 🤗][Andrew: You can transfer money between accounts bound to this software. I just used this function to transfer $4000 to Diana.][Ben: Holy cow! An
In the following days, Diana behaved very well and did not go out again despite Maddie's insistence. She was thinking about the engagement party that would take place in a week. The last engagement party in her past life was a nightmare. She remembered that because of her foolish behavior, the Matthews family was thoroughly disappointed with her and was not even prepared to fulfill the marriage contract. John, on the other hand, insisted on holding the engagement party, hoping that she would come. But who knew that she not only absented herself but also called John and cursed him as a cripple, saying that she would never be with him in this lifetime. She had stabbed his already wounded heart once again! Thinking of her foolish actions in her past life, Diana felt a throbbing pain in her temples. She lay on the bed, repeatedly knocking her head against the pillow in front of her. Dear God, what was she thinking back then??? When Ms. Taylor came in, she saw Diana in a somewhat strange
Diana followed her brother Andrew around the lumber market until she finally found what she was looking for. She sneaked the wood into her room and immediately got to work. Her room had a small study with good sound insulation, which was perfect for secretly preparing her gift. It was best not to let anyone know, especially Maddie, to avoid any mischief. Diana was busy as a bee, and she didn't come out until dinner time. Ms. Taylor knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered. She became curious and pushed the door open. As soon as she walked in, she heard the sound of banging and clanging coming from the study. "Miss Diana?" Ms. Taylor knocked on the door. The room fell silent for a moment before Diana slowly opened the door and poked her head out. "Ms. Taylor, are you the only one?" "Yes. What are you doing in here?" Ms. Taylor was puzzled as she walked into the study. As soon as she entered, she saw that the room was in disarray. There was a piece of high-quality wood on
Diana was stunned. Wasn't it supposed to be a week? It was only the fifth day tomorrow. [Little girl: Why so soon? It's not even been a week yet?] [John mate: The surgery results were better than expected, so I came earlier.] Oh, that's how it is... Diana thought for a moment, it didn't seem to be a problem. [Little girl: Well, have a safe journey!] As John read her message, his handsome brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of displeasure. He was upset that she hadn't offered to pick him up as she had promised earlier. Did she forget? How could he gently remind her? John pondered deeply, feeling that talking to girls was much harder than managing a company. On the other hand, Diana, completely oblivious to John's thoughts, was already imagining all sorts of scenarios with the CEO on the other end of the phone. As John remained silent, Diana typed out another message: [Little girl: Take care and rest well, see you tomorrow.]
She coughed lightly, "Ahem, let me tell you..." Diana was afraid that the person behind her would hear, so she shyly approached John, tiptoed, and whispered in his ear, "It means that, well... I want to be with you for a lifetime." Diana was too embarrassed to say anything more. John's pupils suddenly contracted. Was she confessing to him?! The faint fragrance on the girl's body lingered on his nose, like pure gardenia flowers. Looking at her delicate little face, John's Adam's apple rolled, and he lost his usual composure in an instant. He uncontrollably stretched out his hand and tightly embraced Diana in his arms! Within reach, the warmth felt like a beautiful dream! "Um..." Feeling the overbearing strength coming from his waist, Diana stiffened for a moment. They were hugging?! This was actually their first real hug. Every time they met before, they were always on guard against each other. In their past life, the only few intimate moments they had were when John
"Choose a car instead." The thought of this little girl riding a motorcycle and zooming through the streets made John's heart race with fear. He would give her anything, but when it comes to her safety, he had to draw the line. Diana sulked. She was underestimated. She vowed to show off her skills in front of John one day and make him acknowledge her abilities. Ethan drove and quickly arrived at their destination. As soon as they got out of the car, Diana was stunned by the impressive entrance in front of her. "The Cuisine Tower? I know this place!" she exclaimed. Her oldest brother Andrew had mentioned it before, and this building was famous throughout the country for its three-star chefs from various countries. Even here, they could enjoy authentic cuisine from all over the world! Diana was thrilled, "But isn't it difficult to make a reservation at a place like this? Can we just walk in?" "Yes," John replied, feeling pleased to see her excitement. If she was happy, he was happy.
"Hmm, what are you doing here? Are you up to something again?" Frank sat opposite Diana, arms crossed and looking at her warily. "Mind your own f@#$ing business!" "Bro, look at her! Which young lady from Cloud City would be as rude and foul-mouthed as her? You mustn't mess around with her!" Frank seized the opportunity to advise John. John glanced at him impatiently. "She's right. You really are meddling too much." Frank clutched his chest and looked pained. "My esports players are having a gathering here. I heard you were here, so I left them to come over. And yet, you reject me!" "Then go back to them," John said coldly, his demeanor resembling that of a heartless man who had abandoned his girlfriend. "Dude, I misjudged you!" Frank felt like his heart was punched. Whenever it came to Diana, he lost all his principles. After all, she was the one who almost crippled him. Frank wanted to rush forward and strangle John's neck, to make him realize and choose the right path of stayin
Diana felt the uneasy atmosphere around her and instinctively lifted her head, only to meet John's cold gaze. He was staring at her intensely, with that familiar gloom in his eyes, as if he wanted to swallow everything up. Did he get angry? Strange, could it be that he sensed her inappropriate thoughts about him?! Diana instinctively shrunk her neck and unconsciously moved away from him. Seeing her reaction, the man's expression became even more unpleasant. Suddenly, he reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder. Then he went on to touch the spot where her tattoo was attached to the back of her neck. His rough fingers caressed her porcelain skin, with a hidden anger. Diana suddenly felt a hint of fear, like a prey bitten by a fierce beast on the neck. "Diana, are you afraid of me?" John's voice was low, with a sense of oppression. Diana remained silent. At this moment, the feeling of being controlled by him rushed back to her body and mind. She widened her eyes, stiffened her bo
