Chapter 1047
Lately, every time they picked up Sean from school, Betty would drag Diana and Julian to this very cafe for a small
treat.
Then, she would pack a portion of creamy yogurt buns for her big brother. Sean didn't like sweets, so it would
ultimately end up with Betty eating them all.
Every time they came here, Betty felt like she had entered heaven. The cafe had a calm vibe to it, which allowed
her to sit comfortably and enjoy her dessert without a care in the world.
Diana and Oliver could also discuss in peace.
"The rental yield on that property isn't high. If you can buy it, it will actually benefit me," Oliver said calmly.
There was excitement in his eyes the moment he saw Diana, but he quickly composed himself.
He had once deceived Diana by collaborating with the Pabian family. It was his biggest regret. He couldn't let it go,
even until now. Since then, he had sworn that he wouldn't do anything to make her unhappy again.
She didn't have feelings for him, not the way he did for her. If he showed her affection, it would only pressure her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo him, the fact that Diana had forgotten about the past was a good thing. That way, she wouldn't remember his
darker
side. They could spend time together comfortably like friends, and enjoy this quiet afternoon like they were now.
"As for the price..."
"No problem." Oliver had already thought about it before coming. "I know you haven't fully repaid Fanny yet. Even
though the studio is profitable, there are still significant expenses. After all, it was recently renovated. All of these
are costs."
He proposed a solution. "You can make an initial payment, and the remainder can be paid to me in installments
through a bank loan."
Diana hesitated. She had considered this option, but she didn't want to add so much leverage to herself.
Mr. Whatever had also inquired about the studio's investment and profit funds. In a way, she had accumulated quite
a bit of debt over the past three years.
Adding this property to it would only increase her financial burden.
She was buying the house to give herself more confidence and a more comfortable life, not to exhaust herself even
more.
"This property is already in its fifth year, so there are no taxes to pay. As for the price, I can lower it a bit more."
Oliver had offered a price that was already quite low. Diana didn't want to press him further.
As she was about to grab a tissue to wipe the cream from Betty's mouth, she noticed that Oliver had done it ahead
of her.
Ever since she had children, Diana had a soft spot for men who were gentle with kids. She quickly said thank you,
and had Betty thank the man as well.
Out of the blue, Diana blurted out, "You don't need to lower the price anymore. Oliver, do you like me?"
Oliver was taken aback. Surprise and embarrassment colored his face. "Have you remembered everything?"
"No." Diana shook her head. An idea ran through her mind. "I met a doctor at the hospital before, and he
mentioned you."
At the time, that person had implied that Oliver had feelings for her. Plus, not too long ago, he hadn't let Diana
leave Richburgh.
It would be a lie if Diana said she didn't feel anything. She didn't want to use someone's feelings to negotiate a

"It's all in the past," Oliver said.
Surprisingly, he was very casual about it. He waved his hand dismissively, and continued, "Really, it's all in the past.
If you bring it up again, I won't be able to sell you this house.
Otherwise, Fanny will get jealous."
He explained to Diana, "I told you before that Fanny and I weren't in a relationship. It was a lie back then, but not
anymore. In the three years you've been away, a lot has happened between us."
He smiled.
"Even if you recover your memories, there's no need to dwell on the past. Right now, I'm just here as your friend."
His honesty put Diana at ease.
"Let's give it a week," Diana said. "I'll give you my answer in a week, whether I'll buy it or not."
Oliver nodded. "Okay."
Before answering Oliver, Diana needed to plan her finances. To do that, she needed to meet with Mr. Whatever. She
had yet to have a proper conversation with him since finalizing the contract. She needed to address the investment
funds he had lost while working with her over the past three years.
After bidding goodbye to Oliver and leaving the cafe, Diana dialed Mr. Whatever's number.
