The woman nodded. “It is Professor Hughes.”
Noticing that Diana had her guard down and was willing to talk, the maid went on, “The professor instructed us to
deliver some things to you, but we didn’t get any response when we knocked on your door. We couldn’t only go by
the balcony.”
When they knocked, Diana and Betty were immersed in the fun of soaking in the tub.
Not only were the sounds blocked out by the room door and walls, but they were also blocked out by the glass door
in the washroom.
What’s more, Betty loved chatting and singing in the bath. It was completely understandable that Diana did not
manage to hear the knocks on the door.
Diana began walking closer to them. “Deliver some things?”
She trusted Jim very much. She genuinely saw him as a friend. Upon realizing they were his subordinates, she
relaxed. “What things? Why is Jim staying next door to me?”

random, dangerous people from staying next to you. It ensures a quiet and peaceful environment for you, and your
safety. You’re pregnant, after all. The professor was worried about you getting shocked, or if you might be in
danger. He didn’t want to leave it to chance.”
In other words, no one wasn’t staying in the rooms next door. He had booked them for her sake.
Diana looked at the figures standing outside at the balcony behind the billowing curtains. People who didn’t know
might misunderstand and assume they were trying to attack a pregnant lady.
She rubbed her belly, feeling the lingering fear in her heart, and mumbled, “I wasn’t shocked until you guys came
in.”
The ladies were stumped by Diana’s comment.
They knew they didn’t do their job well today, but they had too many things to deliver to Diana within a limited time.
If they didn’t manage to do it in time, they would be slapped with further rules and restrictions back at the Hughes
residence.
For all they knew, they might even be punished. They didn’t want that happening. Since they didn’t bear Diana any
ill will, they decided to jump onto her balcony.
Diana was rather curious. “What did you bring?”
Until now, she still had no idea what they were tasked to deliver to her.
She genuinely thought that Jim was too thoughtful and considerate. Coming to Jacroaof was already thanks to him.
Coupled with his care over her hotel stay, it made Diana feel bad.
Perhaps she should have followed the driver back to the Hughes residence and say hello to Jim.
She had rejected him before, and was now embarrassed to ask him about it again. She had no choice but to forgo
the thought, and check out the things the maids delivered.
The maids showed everything they brought on the floor. In an instant, the floor was filled with many items spread
out in a line.
There were strawberries, cherries, durians, mangosteens, and many fresh coconuts filled with juice. Each coconut
was accompanied by a set of tools to crack it open. It was clearly prepared by someone thoughtful and detailed.

His bookish air and maturity of a professor was like a refreshing spring breeze.
Diana continued checking out the items. Aside from the fruits, there were also some snacks. They weren’t the usual
breads and biscuits, but hand-made buns and rolls. There were tiny and bite-sized, and looked as if she could eat
them one after the other.
The maid could tell that Diana had her doubts, and quickly offered an explanation.
“These are handmade by the professor. They have no preservatives, and can only last for six days. After that,
they’ll do bad and you shouldn’t eat them. We’ll come by and deliver fresh buns to you regularly.”
Diana didn’t care about the second half of what the maid told her.
All the more she didn’t care about the timing. She thought the maid didn’t know that she was just a tourist, and was
going to leave in around five to six days. In fact, she was planning to stay for only three to four days.
The scenery at Jacroaof was pretty good, the mountainous views making one feel relaxed and cheerful.
Even so, Diana missed Richburgh and its cold, hard ridges. It gave her the feeling of home.
What’s more, it was where her bossy, overbearing, and silly husband who couldn’t sweet-talk her even if his life
depended on it stayed.
Thinking of Julian, she blushed.
