Chapter 1451
Since his room in the hotel had been tidied up and was ready for him, he could go there for some rest after the
lecture.
Yet, what he unwittingly said about her giving birth soon made all the students explode in excitement.
"Spread the news! Professor Hughes has a wife and a child!"
"Share it with everyone! Professor Hughes's wife is about to give birth!"
Their words spread like wildfire through text, until almost everyone in school became aware of it.
All the bystanders were so excited by the news, which had spread at the speed of light, to Old Mr. Hughes.
Jim, the subject of the gossip, was the only one who remained calm and nonchalant about everyone's questions. His
indifferent yet polite and gentlemanly smile continued to stretch across his face.
Back at the hotel, Diana was restless after hanging up her call with Jim.
The fact that she could not contact Julian was strange enough.
Even if he didn’t come, he would at least give her a call.
But now, both hers and Betty's phones were malfunctioning.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt had been so long, yet Julian didn't seem to have noticed anything. Did this mean that Julian...
Really trusted Jim?
That was why he would never imagine that Jim would be so bold as to confine her and Betty in this hotel.
Yes.
Confined.
Although Diana was allowed to move about in the hotel and even leave its confines, the service staff were
constantly monitoring her. Coupled with James standing at the door waiting for her instructions, everything was a
stark reminder to Diana that Jim had enclosed her in a web.
The worst thing was that she had taken the initiative to crawl into said web.
Julian would definitely contact Jim when he failed to contact her.
She gripped her phone tight, guessing what Jim would say to Julian.
As she pondered, she remembered Jim asking her to make a guess.
She...
She couldn't guess.
If Jim had no feelings for her, why was he treating her so extraordinarily well? Why was he sparing no effort in
confining her in here?
If Jim really had feelings for her, could he possibly fool Julian?
Julian was great at being jealous, and also a good judge of character. He couldn't have possibly made a mistake in
reading Jim.
But-
Diana took a deep breath, not knowing what she could do to ease the tension in her chest. Her mind was in a mess,
and her thoughts were all over the place. Thinking so hard wore her out.
As she progressed in her pregnancy, Diana found herself getting tired easily.
She had walked quite a bit just now, and exercised her brain cells much. All she could do right now was to lie down
and rest.
Thankfully, Betty was sound asleep. That made Diana feel a little more at ease.
She laid on the bed, staring at the luxurious-looking ceiling, the snacks and living essentials filling the room, and the
keys that the lady handed her today.
"If this is a jail, it would be a very grand and luxurious jail."
With that thought in mind, Diana fell right asleep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBy the time Jim arrived, Diana was already sound asleep.
It wasn't that late, it was just that Diana had fallen asleep early.
Jim wasn't in a rush to wake her up. He simply brought a stool, and sat next to Diana.
One usually could sense another’s stare. Diana felt someone gazing at her.
Her heart leapt, and she instinctively wanted to yell out loud. Yet, when she opened her eyes, she saw a tall figure
seated by her bed.
"It's me."
She was still bleary and not fully awake yet, but Jim was already eagerly comforting her, "Diana, it's me. Don't be
afraid."
His voice was warm and gentle as usual, which reminded Diana of the soothing voices of lecturers that she heard in
a university.
Jim sounded so natural and wise.
He couldn't possibly do something like confine her to this hotel. Diana knew she had been hasty in arriving at such a
conclusion.
