Chapter 93 Dianaâs pov At first, I didnât know Nathan had arrived.
I just heard footsteps of leather shoes stepping on the marble floor from behind. Immediately after, I saw Avia running past me, with a sweet smile on her face. âNathan!â She shouted happily, âHave you gotten our ring?â
âGot it.â A deep voice rang out.
And it was at that moment that I turned around.
Nathan was originally taking out a box containing a ring, but when he saw me, his movements suddenly stopped.
He looked shocked, as if he didnât know I would come here.
I smiled lightly.
I didnât understand what he was pretending. Wasnât that message from him?
Following Nathanâs gaze, Avia looked at me with a stiff smile on her face, but she quickly adjusted her state and said to Nathan, âI asked Diana to come over.â
Nathanâs face was a bit unpleasant, but when he faced Avia, his tone remained gentle.
âWhy? Donât you want to see her?â
âNathan, Iâve thought about it. Since weâre getting engaged, I decide to forget all the things before, including...â Avia paused and continued, âincluding the things Diana did to me before. I forgive her.â
Nathan stared at Avia, with complex emotions in his eyes, including surprise, confusion, guilt, affection...or something else.
âI believe that the Moon Goddess will wish me happy for a lifetime because of my choice.â Aviaâs mouth curved upwards and she gazed affectionately at Nathan. âAnd you are my happiness. You wonât let me down, will you?â
Nathanâs throat rolled and after a while, he said in a hoarse voice, âYes.â
Aviaâs laughter was crisp. âWhereâs my ring? Open it and show me!â
Nathan lifted the lid of the box and a ten carat diamond ring shimmered under the crystal chandelier.
Avia was pleasantly surprised and reached out her left hand, looking at Nathan expectantly.
Nathan pondered for a moment, then picked up the ring and placed it on Aviaâs middle finger.
âI love you,â Avia tiptoed up and kissed Nathanâs cheek.
The two looked at each other affectionately, as if a perfect match.
âDiana!â Avia ran up to me and showed me the diamond ring on her left hand, excitedly asking, âLook at my diamond ring. Isnât it beautiful?â
I seemed to see Nathanâs figure swaying slightly, with a somewhat stiff expression on his face.
But I chose to ignore it because I believed it was my illusion.
I showed a fake smile like Aviaâs âVery beautiful. Wish you happiness.â
âThank you, I also think Nathan and I will definitely be happy. Diana, you also need to work hard and find a new partner.
Although...he will definitely not be better than Nathan, at least...â
âAvia.â Nathan interrupted her and took a few steps forward. âDidnât you have to choose the items for the engagement banquet?â
âYes! Nathan, I was just struggling with what flowers we should use. Do you have any good ideas?â Avia asked.
âYou can decide,â Nathan said. âYou donât need to seek my opinion. Choose everything you like.â
The wedding planner walked over and asked Avia when she would go to choose the tablecloth.
âNow, my fiancé is also here,â Avia smiled and wrapped her hands around Nathanâs left arm.
I lowered my head and glanced at my watch.
It was exactly two oâclock in the afternoon.
I didnât think Nathan would go to The Enchantment with me anymore, so I stopped lingering and turned around to leave.
âWhere are you going?â Nathanâs big hand wrapped around my arm.
I frowned impatiently and said, âLet go!â
Nathan stared at me with a deep gaze and said, âWait for me.â
âI donât have time to wait for you. Youâd better accompany your fiancée to choose the items for your engagement banquet. That matter had nothing to do with you.â
I was not interested in interrupting their date.
But Nathan still didnât let go.
Everyone stopped their work and looked over here.
Aviaâs smile gradually faded away.
She looked up at Nathan and whispered, âNathan, let go of Diana. So many people are watching...â
Nathan had a struggling expression in his eyes, but in the end, he still let go of me. I sneered and walked away without looking back.
Coming out of the wedding building, I couldnât help but curse, âBastard.â.
In my opinion, it was not a problem for Nathan to accompany Avia. They were getting engaged and it was normal for them to be together.
But why did these two people insist on calling me over?
To make me a backdrop for their great love?
And Nathan... Since he couldnât do it, why did he offer to accompany me to The Enchantment?
I have repeatedly rejected him, but if it werenât for his strong demands, I...
A sour breath emanated from my throat, and my heart felt as if it had been blocked by something.
So...all of this was Nathanâs strategy, right?
He said he wanted to accompany me to The Engagement, but in reality, he just wanted to trick me into going to the wedding company and show me how much he loved Avia. He even allowed Avia to show off to me and make fun of me!
âDespicable bastard!â I kicked the flower bed on the roadside fiercely in anger. In an instant, a sharp pain hit.
I took a deep breath and suddenly realized that my behavior was foolish.
I was crazy enough to waste time sulking here.
I rubbed my face and tried my best to calm my mood, but behind me came an unpleasant voiceâ
âWho is the despicable bastard?â
I suddenly turned around and saw Nathanâs face.
âYou...did you...â
âIn order not to become a despicable bastard, I abandoned my fiancée and chased you in front of everyone,â Nathan said.
I didnât know what to say for a moment.
âLetâs go.â Nathan turned around. âMy car is parked in the underground garage.â.
Meanwhile, I received a text message from Avia.
âDiana, you bitch! What did you say to Nathan? He left me behind! In front of everyone! Iâve lost all my face! Diana, you did it on purpose, right? You disgusting mistress! A despicable woman! You stole my husband!â
My fingers tightened slightly.
Aviaâs anger certainly pleased me, but her words also reminded me to some extent. âDiana, what are you looking at?â Nathan turned around and asked me, seeing that I hadnât followed.
âNathan,â I said calmly without moving, âyou go back.â
Nathan looked at me with a puzzled expression.
âAre you still angry? I can explain. I didnât mean to tease you. I thought you would wajt for me in the underground garage. I didnât know Avia called you too. I didnât mean to...â
âSo what?â I let out a long sigh and said calmly, âItâs a fact that you and Avia are about to get engaged. You should be with her now, not me. And...with our previous relationship, we should avoid any meetings. You should be responsible to Avia, responsible for your feelings. And I...should be responsible for myself.â
Nathan fell silent and stared at me for a long time.
After a while, he said, âDiana, I know what Iâm doing. Since Iâm engaged to Avia, I wonât betray her. You donât have to worry about me...doing anything to you. Iâll accompany you to The Engagement, just because Iâm also concerned about it. After all, besides Avia, Iâm also a victim of Gummy Skull now. I need to know who caused this. Besides...â
Nathan frowned, with a hint of annoyance appearing between his eyebrows. âUntil the truth is found out, you are still a suspect for harming Avia. I wonât forget that.â The implication was that there was no possibility between him and me.
I instinctively clenched my palm, and my fingertips touched the wound, causing a sharp pain.
But I smiled.
âI understand,â I said.
âSo, can you come with me now?â Nathan asked.
An hour later, Nathan and I entered The Enchantment.
