Chapter 169
“Oh dear…” Kayla purposely looked at Diana with huge, innocent eyes. “Are you unhappy I’m here, Diana? If
you are, I can… leave…”
Diana froze in pain. She didn’t have time to think about why Kayla was acting up again and could only feel the
stinging soreness on her feet.
After all, Kayla was wearing heels.
It was fortunate Diana was sitting down. If she had been standing up, Kayla’s action might have caused her to fall
When Diana thought of that outcome, her face twisted into an unsightly look. She shoved Kayla away, snarling,
“You’re crazy! Get off me!”
Kayla collapsed to the ground in one smooth motion and looked at Diana with an aggrieved expression. Her voice
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas muffled as she cried, “D–Diana W–why?
“What’s the point of pretending?” Diana was unused to seeing her in this state. “You clearly stepped on my foot
first. I didn’t cry from that, yet you are?!”
Besides, Diana hadn’t used a lot of strength when she pushed Kayla. Yet, Kayla sat on the ground as if she was hurt.
Who would she put on an act for?
-Julian!
Sure enough, Diana turned around to meet a pair of angry, dark eyes.
She should have realized that Kayla wouldn’t kick up a fuss with her without any reason.
“Kayla, does it hurt?” Julian came to her side and helped her up, looking pained, as though Kayla’s pain was his
own. His whole body was tense with anxiety. “How about your throat? Does it feel worse? You’ve been crying a lot
lately.”
Kayla sobbed and fell into Julian’s arms. “Julian. I’m fine. I settled in your house when it was obviously not my place
before this, and I came here today uninvited. It’s only natural Diana would be angry with me.”
Her statement not only highlighted her pitiful state, but it also declared that she had returned to the villa early this
morning, covering up the embarrassment of how she had left on her own accord last night.
Diana couldn’t be bothered to argue.
She ignored the intimate scene between her husband and her sister before her as she rubbed her foot. After a
while, she went upstairs to change out of her nightgown that Julian had touched the previous night, and washed her
hands before returning to the dining hall
She calmly sat back down on the chair, serving herself breakfast. She drank milk and ate all kinds of sandwiches,
and even slices of bread. She didn’t eat a lot, but it was obvious she had a good appetite.
The more she ate, the more the taste felt familiar. It tasted exactly like how Julian used to make them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHuh. Was it necessary to make the act so realistic to this extent?
Diana shrugged it off and wiped her mouth after eating. She planned on returning to her room to rest,
ignoring Julian and Kayla the entire time.
Julian got angrier as the minutes passed, and he finally reached out to pull her arm and said, “Diana,
apologize to Kayla.”
Diana was speechless at his order. “Why? Because to you, I’m the one staying here when it’s not my place? Is that
it? So whether I was in the wrong or not, I have to apologize to Kayla regardless?”
Julian furrowed his brows. “I saw you push her with my own eyes. There wasn’t a mistake!”
“Then, did you see how she stepped on my foot?”
“Julian…” Kayla whispered. “I was going to call out to you then, and I accidentally stepped on her…”
“Yes, so you don’t have to apologize, but Diana pushed you on purpose and used a lot of force. The person who
purposely did something should be the one to apologize,” Julian finished, glaring at Diana.
It was true Diana had shoved Kayla away, but whether it was forceful or not, only Kayla and Diana knew best.
