She waved her hands, suppressing a sudden wave of morning sickness that hit her.
Strange.
Did her babies know that she was feeling disgusting right now?
Diana didn’t want to be in the same place as James. She stepped back, clearly expressing her intention to avoid
James.
James looked hurt.
He looked exactly the image of a middle-aged man who was wounded by his loved one. It repulsed Diana even
more.
“Even if you’ve lost your memories, there’s no need to act pitiful with me.”
If James of all people claimed to be pitiful with her, no one else under the sun could be considered pitiful.
James finally said, “You know me?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAn expectant look flashed past his eyes.
Diana knew how that felt. When she lost her memories in the past, she eagerly looked forward to anyone who could
tell her anything about her past.
It was as if knowing her past could help her piece together a something was missing without her memories.
It was a very strong sense of lacking.
Right now, James was looking at her with the same expectation.
Diana said with disdain, “You didn’t have much of a conscience in the past.”
She threw him a distant, cold glare. “You were a man who could abandon his own three-year-old daughter.”
After pondering for a moment, she remembered what Julian said about her birth circumstances, and corrected
herself, “
You're not fit to be a father, and you're not actually the girl's father.”
James lost his memories, but his mind was still working fine.
Diana's attitude made something come to his mind. “You're that girl, aren’t you?”
He looked agitated.
It was an expression only a loving father would have, and it was something Diana desired desperately when she
was looking for her family.
Back then, she was only 18 when she stood at the door of the Winningtons’ residence, filled with hope and
expectations. She thought the moment she opened the door, she would be greeted with her father’s loving look,
filled with joy.
Yet...
James was agitated. He shooed her away, panicked. Meanwhile, Kate stormed toward her and slapped her hard in a
bid to please him. Both of them were scared of upsetting Kayla, and hurriedly shut the door to coax her.
The memories of the past still remained clear in Diana’s mind.
Despite knowing that this man standing before her wasn’t her biological father, Diana could not erase the anger
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand disappointment that she felt so deeply.
She began feeling discomfort in the stomach once more.
Diana uttered a silent apology to her babies, comforting and telling herself that there was no need to get angry with
James and hurt herself. She turned away, no longer wanting to see James.
James came closer, and asked again, “Ms. Winnington, do you need a ride?”
He didn't bring up the past again. He simply looked on cautiously.
How ironic.
Diana used to see James treat Kayla the exact same way, with the same caution that a parent would exercise when
cajoling their child, for fear the child would get angry.
Right now, she no longer cared for that. She didn’t want it anymore.
Yet today, it happened so suddenly, right in front of her. She was frustrated to no end, and immediately lifted her
arm to hail a taxi. She wanted to just hop onto a car and leave this place for a while.
But when a taxi stopped upon seeing her raised arm and the driver took a good look at her face, he immediately
drove off as if he’d seen a ghost.
