The afternoon sun wasn’t as scorching as it was in the morning. It felt gentler and made Diana’s dewy skin glow.
When a stray lock of hair fell, it seemed like a ripple spreading out on a sparkling lake.
Jim’s mood lifted instantly.
With her head bent over and her neck exposed, Diana looked like she belonged in a beautiful painting. There was a delightful charm about her, with her hand resting on her swollen belly.
“Have you ever fallen in love?” Jim suddenly asked Diana as he looked at her.
He had never been in love.
Yet, suddenly, he felt an itch in the depths of his heart.
He clicked on the browser on his computer and briefly described what he was feeling right now in the search bar. The conclusion he arrived at was, “OP, you want to be in a relationship.”
Jim felt as though someone had hit him over the head with a hammer.
How could he possibly want to be in a relationship?
With a pregnant lady, no less!
He should be concentrating on his research. His mother said that one had to be single-minded in order to achieve great things, make history, and contribute to the medical field for the sake of the human race.
He was fated to give his all to the medical field. He couldn’t possibly start a relationship with a woman.
“I need the washroom,” Jim said as he stood up, retracting his gaze from Diana.
Diana was shocked by his sudden announcement.
She turned her attention away from the book and nodded in acknowledgement. A smile crept up her face.
Her plan was working!
Seizing the chance while he was gone, she hurriedly put the book down and walked to his computer and clicked open the internet browser.
But…
Jim’s previous search record was still there.
Diana read through Jim’s description.
Hmm…
