A Night To Remember novel (Diane and Norman) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46 Divorce

Stella’s mother had obviously believed in most of Diane’s words, and her whole body was trembling as she asked the question. This time, however, there was no need for Stella to push any further as Diane turned and walked away on her own.

Stella’s parents were not bad people. Diane was actually fighting a losing battle and being hurtful and on top of that, it wouldn't even make any difference to the situation. At best, she could only let a vicious woman like Stella be censured by her parents.

However, as Stella said, it was not illegal to induce abortion, nor was it illegal to provoke someone, less so to snatch one’s husband away! What more can I do? That’s the way the world works—the evil can get away with anything while the rest of us just watch on.

After her trip to the Mayfairs, Diane was feeling out of sorts. This dump lasted till the night and she still couldn’t feel at ease. In the end, she ended up having a wakeful night. She was not able to sleep for the whole night, and Christopher did not return either.

As she couldn’t fall asleep, she got up very early the next morning. She then packed some morning snacks in an insulated box and made her way to the hospital. Diane felt that she was at fault as Queenie got injured on her account, so she wanted to visit Queenie often and show her sincerity. This was what Diane believed in, and so she reached the hospital at 7.00 AM.

The VIP area was rather empty, and the walkway was rather silent as there weren’t many people around. After a short walk to the ward, she could see that the door was half-opened, so she pushed it open without much hesitation. As she was about to step in, however, what came into view left her stunned.

Unlike what Diane had expected, Christopher had not left. Instead, he was still at the edge of the bed, with one hand propping his head up as he faced the bed. She couldn’t see whether he was awake, but Queenie was. As Queenie was facing the door, Diane clearly saw that not only was the former wide awake, she was leaning over to Christopher and her face was a hair's breadth from his—she was kissing him.

Diane often felt superfluous when it came to this couple. This time, her existence had expressed her thoughts to the fullest. Christopher stayed by Queenie’s side the whole night, and she kissed him as soon as she woke up. Even though Diane wasn’t sure—since Christopher was sound asleep—what his reaction would be, she had a hunch that he would not reject the kiss even if he was awake.

In the midst of Diane spacing out, Queenie ended the kiss and lifted her face. A hint of shock flashed across her pale face when she saw Diane standing by the doorway. Shock was written all over her face, so Diane took a step back and closed the door.

Upon closing the door, Diane could feel her heart galloping in her chest. She couldn’t put her feelings into words and she felt as if she was a voyeur who just saw someone else’s secret. At that moment, she panicked and couldn’t help but feel upset. It’s a fact that Queenie has feelings for Christopher, but what about the man himself? The nickname ‘Q’ in his contact, the anxiousness while Queenie got injured, and now the whole night of staying by her side; he is also in love with her too, I presume?

All of a sudden, Diane felt envious but as she was ashamed of how she felt, she quickly suppressed her feelings. Clutching the meal box, she decided not to pay Queenie a visit anymore. After all, she was pretty sure both of them would not want her to interrupt their time now. Not only now, perhaps it will also be the same in the future. The both of them are a perfect match so they should be together.

A flurry of thoughts clamored around in her mind as she left the hospital and went home. She had never felt this chaotic sensation before in her whole life. Her heart was pounding and this unsettling feeling was still there even after she arrived home and sat on the sofa for a very long while. Diane’s mind only drifted back to reality when her maid reminded her that she was still holding the meal box in her hands, and it was only then that she handed it over and went upstairs.
