Jim was not the babies’ father, so Diana couldn’t think of any reason, apart from her, that could make him care so
much about them.
However, doctors couldn’t heal themselves. When Diana thought of this saying, she suddenly understood Jim’s
feelings towards her when she was pregnant.
Jim might have completely immersed himself in a role in his own mind, forgetting the theoretical knowledge he had
learned.
He only wanted to present her with things that looked good, were convenient, and nutritious.
In other words…
He might really like her.
Diana had a headache, and suddenly felt unsure of how to interact with Jim.
She silently repeated Julian’s name in mind, hoping he would come quickly to help her deal with this situation.

In fact, he regretted saying those words as soon as they left his mouth.
His family had reminded him: he must be like everyone else, and say the same things as them. That meant
following an unspoken rule among their people—telling lies.
To tell a lie, he had to say that he cared about Diana. That he wasn’t interested in the children in her belly.
Still, Julian had said that he entrusted the babies and Diana to Jim. In that regard, Jim could say anything he wanted!
In Jim’s eyes, the children in Diana’s belly were now his possession. This time, he must raise them well. He would
provide the best conditions for their growth, and eventually deliver them.
Finally, he would select the one he thought had the best development for his experiments.
He would definitely treat this child well.
Definitely!
But the prerequisite was that Diana, as the mother, must be happy.
Jim’s tone became cautious as he said, “Diana, am I upsetting you by saying this?”
It just took one simple sentence to make Diana’s resolve crumble. She was indeed upset, because she didn’t know
how to handle Jim’s well-intentioned gestures.
She only wanted Julian to come quickly.
She turned on her phone, but there wasn’t a single message.
In contrast to Jim’s enthusiasm, Diana felt that even if she was angry, she shouldn’t be angry with him—but with
Julian instead.
Where on earth did Julian go? There wasn’t even a single message from him!
Diana was angry, her mind in disarray. She remained silent for a moment.
On the other end of the phone, Jim continued to ask, “Did you like the gift I sent you?”
He had sent far too many.
Diana really wanted to distance herself from Jim as soon as possible. However, she couldn’t find a suitable excuse

Before leaving, she still needed his help regarding Nina’s affairs. She didn’t want to ruin this friendship, especially
when Jim had been good to her.
Those who invested their emotions in a relationship didn’t deserve to be hurt.
For Diana, who had always struggled to receive love, she cherished every bit of affection.
At that moment, she didn’t know how to respond.
Jim grew anxious, and asked, “Are you unhappy?”
He sounded genuinely concerned.
Feeling a bit awkward, Diana thought about how to subtly remind Jim of her marriage with Julian—that she already
had a husband.
Just then, Jim spoke again. “Lenny, where are you?”
“I’m here, Professor.”
Those words immediately sent shivers down Diana’s spine.
Lenny?
The man Jim was addressing… Was that James?!
