Diana’s eyes widened in surprise.
She found it hard to believe that Jim actually knew James. When she looked up, her shock deepened.
The person standing right before her was unmistakably James himself!
Earlier, with so many things blocking her view, his presence had been obscured. Now, after pushing everything into
the room, his entire face was revealed.
Although it was the same face, the same physique and height, James’s eyes…
Looking into Diana’s eyes, there was something significantly different with him from before. There was no disdain
and no evident disgust; only respect.
Yes, genuine respect!
He even bowed low, portraying Diana as the master between them.
“Ms. Winnington, the professor told me to deliver all the items to you. In the future, if you need transportation, feel
free to call me. I’ll bring whatever you need.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt all felt like a dream, somewhat surreal.
Diana couldn’t quite grasp it. “Are you now…the driver for the Hughes family?”
James shook his head. “You sound a little mystified, Ms. Winnington.”
Compared to before, James was behaving in a very calm manner. There was no impatience in his voice.
More importantly, his patience was not an act. It was clear that this man was genuinely happy with his current life.
Meeting him again and experiencing the feeling of being abandoned once more…
If it were in the past, Diana would have undoubtedly felt uncomfortable. But now, aside from a slight twinge of
sadness, she didn’t feel anything else.
What she wanted to do was quickly ask him about her biological father. Facing James, she couldn’t put on a
pleasant expression.
“My father…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Jim interrupted her. Diana then remembered she was still on the phone with
him.
“Diana, are you satisfied? Are you happy with my gift?”
Jim was a straightforward person. Diana told herself that while she didn’t speak to him very nicely sometimes, he
never seemed to mind. He always cared about her mood.
“James… Is James the real gift?”
“Of course,” Jim said, nodding. “The file I gave you earlier contains information about your background. I knew
you’d be curious, so I kept James by my side.”
James could hear their conversation perfectly well. He didn’t show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he continued to
smile at Diana.
Diana felt uncomfortable with James’s overly kind attitude. She said to him, “Actually, you don’t have to smile at me
so warmly.”
Disappointment flashed across James’s face. “Ms. Winnington, did I do something wrong? Is there something I could
have done better?”
He even appeared a bit awkward, as if he had committed the unspeakable.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis wasn’t the James Diana knew, and it certainly wasn’t the attitude he should display in front of her.
Diana felt even more uneasy.
“You haven’t done anything wrong. Just, your previous attitude towards me…” Diana thought about the past. She
paused, before continuing, “…wasn’t like this.”
Surprise colored James’s face. “We knew each other before?!”
James’s attitude felt oddly familiar to Diana.
She hesitated, and asked, “Did you… lose your memory?”
James shook his head, looking confused.
“I don’t know if I’ve lost my memory. All I know is that I work here for the professor, and I’m the Hughes’s regular
employee. I usually handle driving duties, and occasionally help with gardening at home.”
His tone was calm. Apart from memory loss, Diana couldn’t think of any reason for someone to completely
transform into someone seemingly unrecognizable in such a short period.
“He has amnesia,” Jim said, sounding cheerful. “Lenny might remember his past after seeing you. As for the matter
about your father, you can ask Lenny once he regains his memory. But during this time, I hope you can stay in
Jacroaof.”
Jim wanted to keep Diana in Jacroaof. He considered her mood, and wanted her to stay here willingly.
It was why he allowed James to appear before Diana.
