That thought made her relax and give up on the urge to find Julian. She continued talking to Jim. “Professor Hughes,
how have you been?”
“I’m fine,” Jim said with a smile. “In fact, I’ll continue being very fine from now on.”
His health was something he had the most confidence in.
“Have you found your father, Ms. Winnington?”
Jim always asked the most private questions.
The strange thing was, Diana didn’t feel offended by it. She could even sense the genuine concern in his voice.
“No,” she answered honestly, opening up to him gradually. “Something happened to a friend of mine recently.”
Firstly, Noel broke up.
Then, Fanny passed away. Diana didn’t sleep very soundly during the rainy night last night.
“Julian and I didn’t have the capacity to deal with this.”
She grew up not experiencing the love of her biological parents.
Now that she thought about it, life would always go on, whether she could find her parents or not.

taking very good care of you.”
If outsiders were to listen in on the conversations, they might think Jim was someone very close to Diana. In reality,
they were only acquaintances who had met two to three times.
Diana could blame her own husband and be displeased with Julian, but Jim had crossed the line saying that.
Diana felt defensive. She was about to speak up for Julian when Jim went on, “If a pregnant lady is in a bad mood, it
will negatively affect the fetus.”
Diana’s anger dissipated immediately.
Perhaps Jim wasn’t really blaming Julian. It was merely his occupational hazard.
He was used to thinking of things from the point of view of one’s health, and used to first thinking of her status as a
pregnant lady and of the babies in her womb when talking to her.
“I’m going to give you a present to put you in a better mood.”
In a tone that refused to take no for an answer, he continued, “You should be receiving a text right now. Follow the
instructions on it, pack your things, and walk to the entrance of Collina Villa. Someone will pick you up.”
With that, he hung up.
Diana wanted to ask about the Jennings siblings and about Vans, but she didn’t have the chance to.
She couldn’t possibly call Jim so quickly again. She could only read the text Jim mentioned just now.
The moment she clicked it open, she was shocked to see that the text contained three flight tickets.
The text also wrote: “Welcome Ms. Winnington and Mr. Fulcher, together with their beloved daughter, to Jacroaof
for a holiday!”
Given Diana’s financial capabilities, she didn’t need someone to give her the money to buy these three flight tickets.
What she needed was Jim’s thoughtfulness.
This friend was a pretty good one.
At least better than Nina, who hurt her with her words.
Since things weren’t looking so rosy in Richburgh recently, Diana considered accepting Jim’s tickets and going to
Jacroaof for some fresh air.
“Thank you for this present, Professor Hughes,” Diana texted him back. “I like it very much.”
With that, she pushed her door open, wanting to tell Julian about flying to Jacroaof with her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Julian was no longer waiting outside the door.
It was Layla. “Mr. Fulcher has gone to the Channings.”
She went on, “Before he left, he told me to tell you not to contact him for the time being if there’s nothing urgent.”
Diana knew Julian had been getting closer to Oliver as of late. Perhaps, Oliver was in deep sorrow.
Julian was probably there to keep him company.
She didn’t know how many days Julian was going to be there for.
Most likely, Oliver wasn’t in a very good state.
Of course, Diana knew it wasn’t a good idea to call Julian back.
However, Jim’s tickets were for this afternoon. She would make it if she packed her bags and rushed to the airport
right now.
Since she had never been apart from Julian like this, she thought it might be a good idea to seize this chance to
experience how “absence makes the heart grow fonder.”
“Call Betty here,” Diana instructed Layla, “I want to bring her to Jacroaof.”
This time, she would go for a trip with just her daughter.
