Chapter 1470
Jim was momentarily stunned.
"In love?"
He shook his head. "Whether I've been in love or not has nothing to do with Julian and you."
Diana shook her head, smiling bitterly. "It does matter.
Because I've loved, I know he wouldn't give up on me like this."
Ignoring his calls and deliberately not responding to him before was just her being a little petty. She knew he would
tolerate her and come to her side faster than expected, because she was loved.
Because Julian loved her, she could act without restraint.
Hearing Diana's resolute voice, Jim lowered his head. What caught his eye was her brightly sparkling eyes,
especially when talking about Julian.
And yet, a coldness flickered in the corner of her eyes, seemingly directed at him. She looked at him as if he were a
pitiable person.
But how could he be pitiable?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe became a university professor at a young age, owned a laboratory, had considerable wealth, and had a mother
who fully supported his research endeavors.
In fact, Jim thought Diana was the pitiable one.
"Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter. The conclusion won't change."
He took the phone from Diana, but had no intention of calling Julian for her.
"Julian won't come."
Diana nodded, not arguing with him.
At this point, Jim must have made sufficient preparations to prevent Julian from coming to Jacroaof.
She didn't think she could persuade Jim to change his mind, not with her strength. She also couldn't contact Julian
under his watchful eyes.
What could she do?
Diana scanned the room. Seeing that Jim didn't show any signs of anger but had already returned to his computer,
she breathed a sigh of relief.
She then strolled slowly toward him.
Jim was very focused when he worked, and he was goodlooking. One could even say he was quite superior. His
jawline flashed before Diana's eyes, and she admired how smooth it was.
In the past, whenever Julian was working, she loved standing beside him to watch him.
Now, the person by her side had been forcibly replaced by Jim.
Diana felt a pang of discomfort, and her yearning for Julian overwhelmed her like a tide. Her eyes became slightly
moist, but she held back her tears, suppressing the worries and longing in her heart.
She stood silently by Jim's side, not saying a word.
Jim was fully focused on his work, and didn't seem to care about her presence. Feeling tired from standing, Diana
took the initiative to bring over a chair and sat down. She hoped to find another opportunity to use Jim's computer.
His phone was too loud for any discreet actions, but with a computer, even if she couldn't contact anyone, she
could still post online to attract attention.
If she could draw Julian's or the police's attention, she and Betty might not be stuck here anymore.
However, Jim was too serious about his work. A considerable amount of time passed, and he didn't even lift his
head once.
Diana had no choice but to stand up and pour him a glass of water.
Seeing a cup placed on the table’s edge, Jim picked it up and drank. After finishing, he continued working without

Diana was speechless.
So, he did get thirsty. He simply didn't have time to get water himself.
Diana wanted to create an opportunity for Jim to go to the bathroom quickly, so she continued pouring him one
glass after another.
After three glasses of water, he seemed to finally realize who was pouring water for him.
Jim looked up at her, and said, "Take a break."
It meant she didn't have to do this anymore.
Diana didn't respond. After pouring water, she had been reading a book.
Since she could see when Jim stood up, there was no need to rush. She picked up a book Jim brought with him,
which illustrated various shapes of herbs in traditional medicine.
Diana only glanced at it a few times, but found it particularly interesting. She wasn't interested in the medicinal
effects. She simply liked beautiful things.
She thought it would be a good idea if she could replicate these shapes, and design a series of traditional medicine-
inspired fashion line for her studio.
She had never sold ready-made clothes, and had always done custom orders. This might be a breakthrough to
expand her business. And so, she read the book with great concentration.
