The Luna Is Gone by Angelique Quinn

Chapter 48 Diana's pov | looked at Nathan in surprise.

| guessed he heard what | said to Avia.

soon. Is that true?” But | thought he had self-awareness, knowing that it was just to anger Avia.

| didn’t expect him to take it seriously.

idiot! Isilently cursed in my heart.

“No,” | said lightly.

The joy in Nathan's eyes gradually faded away He smiled sarcastically and said, “I should have known.” “Do you have anything else to do?” | asked impatiently.

Since last night, | have found that I couldn't face Nathan calmly.

As soon as | looked at his face, | couldn't help but think of his kiss and his confession When the things that you once pursued so hard were finally delivered to you, | thought no one could remain indifferent.

too.

But | didn’t like my feelings being influenced by Nathan. And | didn’t want to risk loving Nathan anymore, so | didn’t want to see him.

“Diana.” Nathan's voice rang out again as he silently stared atand whispered, “Last night, | wasn’t joking.” | certainly knew that Nathan was not joking.

He was Dark Moon Pack’s Alpha. How could he waste tteasing a woman he had no interest in? But so what? Should I be moved? No, | should be vigilant.

| should be wary of falling into a vortex called “Nathan” again.

“But | regarded it as a joke,” | whispered, looking up at Nathan with a distant smile. “Alpha Nathan, | think you understand what | mean.” Nathan's eyes suddenly narrowed.

He stared atfor a long twithout speaking.

The air was quiet.

| could even hear the ticking sound of the clock.

Tpassed by. Neither Nathan nor | looked away first.

Suddenly, Nathan smiled.

“I don’t believe it,” he said. “You still have feelings for me! Yesterday on the Ferris wheel, when | kissed you, | could feel it. Your mouth can lie, but your body's reaction won't.” 1 leaned against the table. Upon hearing the words, | squeezed the edge of the table Lightly.

“That's just a normal reaction, I...” “Diana, stop fooling yourself” Nathan grabbed my shoulder “You have loved for two years. How can such a deep love be broken? Now | admit it! | fu cking admit that I like you! Why do you refuse me? There is no obstacle between us. We can be together, and we “Enough” | 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.

“Do you think there's no obstacle between us?” | asked him with a cold smile, “Can you tellwhat all the hardships I've suffered are? Are they jokes? You ignored me, allowed others to bully me, had countless lovers, and even damaged my mother’s. belongings for them! Ferris wheel... | don’t know if you remember | begged you to taketo 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 | was! Your think I had feelings last night... then lettell you, it’s not nervousness or joy! It's pain! Heart-wrenching pain! Your kiss will only makerecall how foolish it is to fall in love with you again! And now, | won't make the smistake.” Nathan's hand resting on my shoulder slowly fell, and he looked atwith a pale face. His lips moved, but he didn’t say anything for a long time.

| turned around, stopped looking at him, lowered my head and continued, “There is no need to repeat the things between you and me. It’s too terrible. It's not worth remembering.” | saw water droplets falling on the table, blurring out one circle after another. Those were my tears.

It was ridiculous. It’s been a year and | still cried because of Nathan.

Diana, I'm sorry. If | knew one day | would love you so much, | would never hurt you.” Nathan huggedfrom behind, his hand tightly gripping my shoulder. He pressed against my cheek, almost begging, “Can you giveanother chance? I swear, | will definitely make it up to you. I'll soothe every little pain you've ever experienced. | love you... | really love you!” | took a deep breath to calm myself down.

“It's too late...” | sniffed and forcefully parted his hand, looking back at his eyes and saying, “I've already started a new life. Nathan, I'm not who | was three years ago. Do you understand? There are obstacles between us! | don’t love you, it's the biggest obstacle!” Nathan was suddenly stunned.

He seemed to have a chill like ice on his body.

| pushed him away, sat back in my seat, and said businesslike, “If you don’t have anything else, just go out. I still have work to do.” | 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 | didn't have a wedding ceremony, let alone a diamond ring that symbolized love.

But now, he even...

“I used to damage your mother’s belongings,” Nathan's deep voice sounded over my head with sadness. “I'm sorry. | know | can’t 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, | want to give it to you” “Isn't it proper to givesomething for your future wife?” | sneered.

“It's not improper. Firstly, I'm trying to make up for the pain I've caused you before. Secondly...” Nathan paused for a moment, and his voice suddenly becmuch more determined. “You will be my future wife. If you don’t love me, | will make you fall in love withagain. This time, letpursue you.”
