Chapter 839
It was almost impossible not to get lost in those alluring eyes.
“With me by her side,” he asserted, “I will never let anyone harm her.”
Eventually, Michael had managed to persuade Diana to go home, albeit reluctantly.
As soon as they got into the car, Michael immediately asked her, “What did Stella tell you when you guys were alone together?”
Diana had noticed earlier that Michael had been acting really weird lately. At first, she chalked it up to him being overwhelmed with joy since finding out that their niece was alive after all. But now, it was beginning to look like something fishy was going on
“Nothing in particular,” she told him. “We were just catching up.”
She paused before adding with a frown, “What’s up with you, anyway? Why do I have a feeling that you’re unhappy for some reason?”
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized how improbable her conjecture was. She might have been very close to Stella, but it was Michael who was related to her by blood, and he had maintained a good relationship with his niece all along. They had seemed to be at odds with each other for a while when Stella’s parents died, but it had only been a brief quarrel and nothing more. Diana simply could not believe that her husband would be upset that his niece had returned.
But why was he acting so bizarrely now?
Seeing that she was beginning to suspect something, Michael turned gloomy. He sighed heavily and pulled her into his arms.
“Diana,” he murmured, “you know that I love you, right?”
Diana was startled. She fell silent for a moment before bursting into laughter.
“Of course I know that!” she exclaimed, hugging him tightly.” Who else would you love if not your own wife?”
“If someone comes to you with some lies about me to break us apart, who would you believe-them or me?”
