Chapter 714 I Hate Winter
Diana was washing dishes when she heard him speak, turning around with surprise.
The moment she turned, Steven was struck by her innocent beauty â her relaxed, casual look suited her perfectly.

It hit Steven then â she was only 23, radiantly youthful. She should be living her best years carefree on a college campus with her peers, but instead, sheâd been by his side, taking care of him while heâd done nothing but hurt her.
Guilt flooded Stevenâs eyes, but when she gave him a puzzled look, seemingly not having caught what heâd said, he just smiled faintly, grabbed his coat, and walked out..
Diana watched him leave, pouting in frustration.
She had definitely heard Steven speaking, but she couldnât quite make out what heâd said.
Diana rubbed her nose and went back to washing the dishes.
After finishing up, she headed upstairs to change before going to pick up Cecil.
Traffic was terrible today â it took her an hour to reach Cecilâs
villa.

She and Cecil were the same age, sharing many common interests and quickly finding things to talk about.
As Diana was lost in thought, she spotted Cecil coming out.

He was wearing a black winter baseball jacket with a creamâcolored scarf, glasses, and a face mask, running against the cold wind.
âDiana, Iâm here!â he chirped as he opened the car door and slid
The carâs heating instantly warmed Cecil up.
Cecil unwrapped his scarf, finally able to breathe freely and relieve his neck.
âDiana, I hate winter,â he complained. âThe cold wind stings my face.â
His mood darkened as he remembered dying in the bitter cold of
winter.
Diana wasnât fond of winter either, but they couldnât do
anything. The year had four seasons, and winter had its unique beauty.
âLetâs go,â she said.
Diana drove away.
Stevenâs car was behind hers, and watching her leave, he

commanded Evan in a cold tone, âFollow them.â

Evan sighed internally. There was an important meeting this morning that Steven was holding from the car, and now they had to tail Diana. It was ironic. Steven used to want Diana nowhere near him, but now he was practically glued to her every
move.
Evan drove them to follow Diana and Cecil to the securities company, watching as they happily left after buying their stocks.
Steven glanced at Dianaâs stock purchase and handed Evan a card. âBuy a billion dollarsâ worth.â
âWhatâ¦â Evan was dumbfounded. âSir, isnât this a bit rash? The stock is tanking. Why should we buy it?â
A billion dollars wasnât pocket change, after all.
Stevenâs voice was stern. âJust do as I say.â
Evan was speechless.
He quietly completed the transaction, but even hours later, sitting in the car, his heart was still racing.
He couldnât figure out what had gotten into Steven today and why Diana had suddenly started buying stocks.
âMr. Gellar, shall we head to the office now?â
Steven gazed out the window. Cecil had bought a cupcake for

Diana, and they were sharing it.

Cecil adjusted the scarf around her neck and broke off a piece of
his cupcake to feed her.
Diana smiled as she accepted it, their every interaction
resembling that of a loving couple.
Stevenâs gaze turned dark and predatory. He and Diana had never shared such romantic moments.
