Chapter 48 Dianaâs pov I looked at Nathan in surprise.
I guessed he heard what I said to Avia.
soon. Is that true?â
But I thought he had selfâawareness, knowing that it was just to anger Avia.
I didnât expect him to take it seriously.
idiot!
Isilently cursed in my heart.
âNo,â I said lightly.
The joy in Nathanâs eyes gradually faded away He smiled sarcastically and said, âI should have known.â
âDo you have anything else to do?â I asked impatiently.
Since last night, I have found that I couldnât face Nathan calmly.
As soon as I looked at his face, I couldnât help but think of his kiss and his confession When the things that you once pursued so hard were finally delivered to you, I thought no one could remain indifferent.
Me too.
But I didnât like my feelings being influenced by Nathan. And I didnât want to risk loving Nathan anymore, so I didnât want to see him.
âDiana.â Nathanâs voice rang out again as he silently stared at me and whispered, âLast night, I wasnât joking.â
I certainly knew that Nathan was not joking.
He was Dark Moon Packâs Alpha. How could he waste time teasing a woman he had no interest in?
But so what?
Should I be moved?
No, I should be vigilant.
I should be wary of falling into a vortex called âNathanâ again.
âBut I regarded it as a joke,â I whispered, looking up at Nathan with a distant smile. âAlpha Nathan, I think you understand what I mean.â
Nathanâs eyes suddenly narrowed.
He stared at me for a long time without speaking.
The air was quiet.
I could even hear the ticking sound of the clock.
Time passed by. Neither Nathan nor I looked away first.
Suddenly, Nathan smiled.
âI donât believe it,â he said. âYou still have feelings for me! Yesterday on the Ferris wheel, when I kissed you, I could feel it. Your mouth can lie, but your bodyâs reaction wonât.â
1 leaned against the table. Upon hearing the words, I squeezed the edge of the table Lightly.
âThatâs just a normal reaction, I...â
âDiana, stop fooling yourselfâ Nathan grabbed my shoulder âYou have loved me for two years. How can such a deep love be broken? Now I admit it! I fu cking admit that I like you! Why do you refuse me?
There is no obstacle between us. We can be together, and we âEnoughâ I stopped him and my stern voice stunned Nathan.
I slowly looked up at Nathan, my eyes filled with absurdity, but my heart was filled with sourness and pain.
âDo you think thereâs no obstacle between us?â I asked him with a cold smile, âCan you tell me what all the hardships Iâve suffered are? Are they jokes? You ignored me, allowed others to bully me, had countless lovers, and even damaged my motherâs. belongings for them! Ferris wheel... I donât know if you remember I begged you to take me to Ferris wheel on my birthday before. What did you do then? Oh, you and your lover went to get a room! Alpha Nathan, you can guess how painful I was! Your think I had feelings last night... then let me tell you, itâs not nervousness or joy! Itâs pain! Heartâwrenching pain! Your kiss will only make me recall how foolish it is to fall in love with you again! And now, I wonât make the same mistake.â
Nathanâs hand resting on my shoulder slowly fell, and he looked at me with a pale face. His lips moved, but he didnât say anything for a long time.
I turned around, stopped looking at him, lowered my head and continued, âThere is no need to repeat the things between you and me. Itâs too terrible. Itâs not worth remembering.â
I saw water droplets falling on the table, blurring out one circle after another. Those were my tears.
It was ridiculous. Itâs been a year and I still cried because of Nathan.
Diana, Iâm sorry. If I knew one day I would love you so much, I would never hurt you.â Nathan hugged me from behind, his hand tightly gripping my shoulder. He pressed against my cheek, almost begging, âCan you give me another chance? I swear, I will definitely make it up to you. Iâll soothe every little pain youâve ever experienced. I love you... I really love you!â
I took a deep breath to calm myself down.
âItâs too late...â I sniffed and forcefully parted his hand, looking back at his eyes and saying, âIâve already started a new life.
Nathan, Iâm not who I was three years ago. Do you understand? There are obstacles between us! I donât love you, itâs the biggest obstacle!â
Nathan was suddenly stunned.
He seemed to have a chill like ice on his body.
I pushed him away, sat back in my seat, and said businesslike, âIf you donât have anything else, just go out. I still have work to do.â
I fixed my gaze on the documents.
About half a minute later, a deep blue velvet box was pushed to me. Inside the velvet box was an extremely shiny diamond ring.
My eyes seemed to be pricked.
Nathan and I didnât have a wedding ceremony, let alone a diamond ring that symbolized love.
But now, he even...
âI used to damage your motherâs belongings,â Nathanâs deep voice sounded over my head with sadness. âIâm sorry. I know I canât make up for anything. But this diamond ring is also an important item for me. It was left by my grandmother to my mother.
My mother said she would give it to my future wife. Now, I want to give it to youâ
âIsnât it proper to give me something for your future wife?â I sneered.
âItâs not improper. Firstly, Iâm trying to make up for the pain Iâve caused you before. Secondly...â
Nathan paused for a moment, and his voice suddenly became much more determined. âYou will be my future wife. If you donât love me, I will make you fall in love with me again. This time, let me pursue you.â
