Chapter 166
This was bliss!
That was the only thought in Diana’s mind as she picked up her utensils and took a bite of her hot noodles and a sip of her spicy soup. Popping a piece of meat in her mouth, she savored the flavor on her tongue as
her toes curled in satisfaction.
Oh, it was just so delicious!
As she ate, she added more vinegar to the dish. The more she ate, the more hungry she got. She managed to finish two servings in a single sitting.
Whoa, she really broke the record this time! She had thought it would be impossible for her to finish both dishes.
She hadn’t expected her appetite to be so good. It must’ve been because it had been a stressful day trying to hide and endure everything Julian threw at her today. Now that most of the things had been resolved, she was binge eating!
After a satisfying meal, she couldn’t resist the urge to rest.
Even so, she still forced her tired body to collect the takeaway containers and head downstairs to throw them in the rubbish bin that the servants used. That way, Julian wouldn’t find out about this… Right?
But when she snuck back into her bedroom, she suddenly realized there was someone else in her bed.
“Diana.”
Julian narrowed his eyes as he sniffed the air that was heavy with the smell of vinegar. “Your taste seems to change frequently, and you’ve been eating a lot lately.”
Was it because the Fulcher family kitchen wasn’t providing enough food for her? To the point she needed to call for takeaway in secret?
Never mind that she had ordered takeaway, but eating junk food was bad for her health! She just had at miscarriage. Shouldn’t she be more concerned about her body?
A wave of anger washed through Julian when he thought about her not caring about her health.
Diana’s legs turned weak when she saw the man before her. She didn’t know why Julian was in her room. Even though she called it her bedroom, essentially, this was the room they both shared. While Kayla had lived here, he hadn’t entered it.
Julian hadn’t seen such vulnerability in Diana for a long time, and he sighed somewhat helplessly. “If you suddenly have any cravings, just let me know next time. I’ll get someone to buy it for you. You don’t have to sneak around and order takeaway like this again.”
Diana’s eyes widened in surprise when she heard that.
He would…buy it for her?
It wasn’t like they were back to their intimate relationship, right?
Julian obviously picked up her question by the look on her face, so he added uncomfortably, “Grandma will think I’m making it up to you when she finds out. She’ll be happy to know that I’m treating you better, and it will make her lower her guard sooner.”
His words washed away any confusion she had, and she immediately understood. It wasn’t like Julian cared about her anyway, right? It was impossible he was concerned and wanted to buy her food whenever she had cravings. He simply wanted to put on a realistic act for the sake of getting a divorce.
But… Wasn’t he putting a little too much effort into this?
Diana glanced at the man lying on the bed, his collarbone inadvertently revealed when he shifted. She blushed at the sight of his exposed skin.
