Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1450

Back to Diana’s phone conversation, Jim chuckled when he heard her question.

Aside from his laugh, Diana could make out some other sounds in the background.

It sounded like someone was chatting. Either that, or there was an ongoing discussion. Or perhaps even some gossiping.

Diana suddenly felt antsy. “Professor Hughes… Are you…are you teaching a class right now?”

If she remembered correctly, Professor Hughes was addressed as such because he was indeed a professor in a college.

Although Diana heard that he seldom lectured and that his title was just a form of address, there was still a remote possibility that he might be in a class.

“I am in a class,” Jim admitted. He switched out of loudspeaker mode, and the noises in the background suddenly disappeared.

All that was left was Jim’s voice echoing into her ear drum.

It felt like a hard slap on Diana’s cheek.

Goodness!

What in the world did she just ask him?

She asked him if he liked her when he was in a class!

“Ms. Winnington,” Jim said, his magnetic voice ringing in Diana’s ears. “If I remember it correctly, this is your second time asking me this.”

Diana rubbed her nose awkwardly. Was that so?

“My memory has deteriorated since I became pregnant. I…”

Diana was about to apologize, when Jim spoke up again, “But it’s all right. Facts are facts, and nothing will change no matter how many times you ask the same question.”

Diana’s heart leapt at Jim’s words.

“What do you mean by that, Professor Hughes?”
