She waved her hands, suppressing a sudden wave of morning sickness that hit her.
Strange.
Did her babies know that she was feeling disgusting right now?
Diana didn’t want to be in the same place as James. She stepped back, clearly expressing her intention to avoid James.
James looked hurt.
He looked exactly the image of a middle-aged man who was wounded by his loved one. It repulsed Diana even more.
“Even if you’ve lost your memories, there’s no need to act pitiful with me.”
If James of all people claimed to be pitiful with her, no one else under the sun could be considered pitiful.
James finally said, “You know me?”
An expectant look flashed past his eyes.
Diana knew how that felt. When she lost her memories in the past, she eagerly looked forward to anyone who could tell her anything about her past.
It was as if knowing her past could help her piece together a complete life. No matter how good life was, she felt that something was missing without her memories.
It was a very strong sense of lacking.
Right now, James was looking at her with the same expectation.
Diana said with disdain, “You didn’t have much of a conscience in the past.”
She threw him a distant, cold glare. “You were a man who could abandon his own three-year-old daughter.”
After pondering for a moment, she remembered what Julian said about her birth circumstances, and corrected herself, “You’re not fit to be a father, and you’re not actually the girl’s father.”
James lost his memories, but his mind was still working fine.
James came closer, and asked again, “Ms. Winnington, do you need a ride?”
He didn’t bring up the past again. He simply looked on cautiously.
How ironic.
Diana used to see James treat Kayla the exact same way, with the same caution that a parent would exercise when cajoling their child, for fear the child would get angry.
Right now, she no longer cared for that. She didn’t want it anymore.
Yet today, it happened so suddenly, right in front of her.
She was frustrated to no end, and immediately lifted her arm to hail a taxi. She wanted to just hop onto a car and leave this place for a while.
But when a taxi stopped upon seeing her raised arm and the driver took a good look at her face, he immediately drove off as if he’d seen a ghost.
