A Night To Remember novel (Diane and Norman) novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Your Man Is Still Alive

Only after steadying her nerves did Diane see clearly that it was actually Christopher. He was still dressed in the attire he wore at the banquet, but his suit jacket had been taken off. He sat there only in his white shirt while looking lonely and slightly cold from behind, and he seemed like an ice block that radiated chilliness in all directions.

Obviously, he was sitting there and waiting for her. Since the house wasn’t big, she had no place to hide, so she could only brace herself and walk up to him.

“Why are you back? Are you here to grab something?”

Diane couldn’t think of another reason why Christopher had come back. Is he so obedient to Queenie to the extent that he came home since she asked him to? As the thought crossed her mind, she felt unhappy again. Without saying another word, she stood frozen at a short distance away from him.

Christopher turned to look at her and asserted his ownership of this house. “If I’m not mistaken, this seems to be my house.”

“I know that.” Diane stood there without moving, her back straight as her eyes shone with undisguised fiery rage. “I know that this is your house, Mr. Wayne—I even expressed my willingness to leave this house and stop bothering you. So, are you coming back today to sign the divorce papers with me? If that’s the case, I’ll praise the Lord. I can finally pack up my stuff and get out of here right away.”

Her blunt and smoothly-spoken remark caused a tremor in the depths of Christopher’s eyes. He had no idea since when the woman, who previously wanted to duck her head and hide at the sight of him, had become so fluent and articulate. After looking at this woman for a while, he stood up.

Diane’s heartbeat suddenly quickened as the white silhouette approached her. She was afraid, but Christopher didn’t notice it as the panic on her face was concealed in the dim light. All he saw was the tiny figure who stood stubbornly in front of him without backing away at all.

“What if I never sign the papers?” As he walked up to the tiny figure, he lowered his head and blocked the light above Diane’s head with his tall stature, enveloping her whole body in his scent.

Diane’s heart jumped. She looked up at Christopher’s face, and the distance between them was so close that she could see his dashing eyebrows and starry eyes so clearly; she could even see the reflection of her panic-stricken face in his eyes. While she tried hard to maintain her composure, she met his gaze and asked, “Aren’t you afraid of doing Miss Hayworth a disservice by doing so, Mr. Wayne?”

“So what if I’ve done her a disservice, and so what if I haven’t?” Christopher muttered casually as his thin lips parted slightly.
