Chapter 1101

“Why are you back so soon?”

Nina hurriedly opened the door when she heard the commotion, and welcomed Diana and the two kids inside. She noticed that Diana was carrying some takeout.

Diana held the containers of homemade dishes in her hands, and waved them in front of Nina. “Let’s celebrate.”

Nina understood, and quickly turned to fetch plates and utensils. ‘ Did you buy it?”

“I did,” Diana said, rubbing her hands. “And I made sure to ask. Oliver really doesn’t like me anymore.”

As for the house, Diana and Oliver had followed market prices and formal contracts. Diana didn’t want to take advantage of him in any way.

Nina loved gossip the most. Even if it was about Diana, she wouldn’t let it go.

“How are you so sure?”

Before, Oliver’s feelings for Diana had been crystal clear.

Just as Nina was about to ask more, she waved her hand at Diana.

“Wait. Don’t tell me.” Her professional intuition kicked in, and she guessed, “Is it related to Fanny?”

Back then, Nina had taken photos of Oliver with Fanny.

Oliver had discovered her; he insisted he and Fanny didn’t have that kind of relationship.

But when Nina saw Fanny’s expression, she could sense something was off. Only later did she find out they were siblings, and she dismissed the idea.

Now, Diana was saying she was very sure Oliver didn’t like her anymore. Nina’s first instinct was that it had something to do with Fanny.

“You’re right,” Diana said, as she placed the food on the table.

Then, she took the twins to the bathroom to wash their hands and pulled out chairs for them to sit in.

After that, she helped Nina arrange the dishes while they chatted.

“Oliver and Fanny are married,” she said.

This caught Nina by surprise. She was bewildered.

“They got married? How can siblings get married? When did this happen?!”

“He said it was three years ago,” Diana said with a shake of her head. “I’m unsure about the exact date, but they’re not biological siblings. As you know, Fanny was adopted by the Channings and grew up there.”

Nina remembered this detail.

“Three years ago… No wonder Fanny suddenly switched to working behind the scenes back then. So, she went and got married.”

Nina suddenly changed the topic. “Oh man, you’re all married now.”

She was the only one still accustomed to being alone.

Seeing everyone around her entering marriage and having children, she couldn’t help but secretly envy them sometimes.

If only she could get married…

No, it was impossible. Vans wouldn’t go against his family for her; Nina was well aware of his personality.

The thoughts running in Nina’s mind that she hesitated to say were something Diana had also pondered.

They exchanged a glance, and the atmosphere noticeably grew somber.

There was still a pair of utensils missing at the table. In an attempt to lighten the mood, Diana and Nina simultaneously got up and headed for the kitchen.

Diana lowered her voice, and suddenly said, “There’s no need to feel disappointed. Look at me and Julian. We got married, but we still got divorced in the end.”

Then, she joked, “Maybe marriage is just a prelude to divorce. If you’re going to end up divorced anyway, why bother getting married?”

Nina couldn’t help but laugh after hearing this.

“You’re right. Since we’ll all end up divorced, why should I care about getting married?”

The mood gradually improved. The two women returned to the table, and ate with the twins. The dishes Diana brought back were to everyone’s liking. Not only did Betty enjoy the food, but Sean also had his fair share.

He picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork, and said, “This is pretty good.”

“What’s pretty good?” Diana asked.

“Living without a daddy,” Sean replied. Then, he added,” Being with Aunt Nina is great.”

Everyone shared a warm laugh. It felt like they were back to the days in Stirling City-except this time, the person at the dining table had changed from Simon to Nina.

Diana couldn’t help but think about this, and her mind raced with a thousand thoughts.
