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?
He 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 good-looking. One could even say he was quite superior. His jawline flashed before Diana's eyes, and she admired how smooth it was.
