Chapter 1461
Diana asked such a question seemingly out of the blue.
It appeared that, apart from James, Kate was also with the Hughes family. Jim was well aware of her whereabouts.
However, when they were in Richburgh, he never mentioned a word about her. It was clear that he had set a trap,
waiting for her to fall into it.
Thinking of her own foolishness, Diana felt a renewed sense of powerlessness.
She shook her head. "No, I don't want to see her."
What could she say to Kate if they met? She had no idea. Maybe it was better not to meet Kate for now.
Jim nodded. "Alright, I'll be next door. If you feel unwell, just press the button by the bedside or call the hotel front
desk.
Someone will come over quickly."

him.
"Aren't you going home?"
"No," Jim replied truthfully, "I have a few sets of experimental data to monitor, and I might have an online meeting."
Monitoring experimental data and having online meetings meant Jim's room had a stable internet connection.
No, it would be more accurate to say that the hotel's network and signal had never had any problems. The only
issues were with her and Betty's phones.
Someone had intercepted their phone signals. It would be helpful to have Sean here.
If he was, he might be able to help her out of this tricky situation. Diana looked away from Jim's brightly lit phone
screen.
"Okay, I'll rest a bit."
That was what she said, but an hour after Jim left, she knocked on Jim's room door with Betty.
The data had reached a critical point, and Jim was deeply focused. He didn't hear the knocking at the door.
Diana stood at the door for a while, but had to return to her room. Soon after, she came out of her room with the
room key. It was the one the maid had given her before.
Originally, this room key couldn't open Jim's door, but perhaps the maid had assumed that there was a relationship
between Jim and the pregnant woman. It seemed perfectly normal for them to share room keys.
So, she had given Diana the room key for the room Jim was staying in.
Clack.
The door's blue light lit up, revealing a slight gap. Diana quickly raised her hand, using her fingers to wedge into the
gap, preventing any other sounds from escaping.
Jim was highly focused on his task, and he didn't look in her direction.
Diana turned around, signaling for Betty to go back to their room. "Go contact your daddy. Try your best to get in
touch, and see if you can talk to him on the phone."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBetty's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Okay!"
She had wanted to contact her daddy for a while, but with Diana around, she didn't dare to speak up.
She hesitated again. "Mommy, are you going to see the bad man?"
"Yes." Diana nodded. "Mommy has things to do, and you have things to do too. Only when we both finish our tasks
can your daddy come to find us and take us home."
Betty seemed to understand vaguely. She didn't quite grasp the relationships between adults. Just recently, her
daddy and mommy were still having a disagreement.
Now, without even a word of apology, it seemed mommy was already looking forward to daddy coming to find
them.
Children always liked it when their parents got along.
Betty said joyfully, "Okay, Mommy. I'll try my best! But..."
She grabbed Diana's clothes, lowering her voice so it was barely audible. The mother and daughter now
communicated as if they were reading each other's lips.
"Be careful."
Diana nodded as she stepped into Jim's room.
