Stanley nodded. “I’ve only been back for a little while. The only new friends I’ve made are Diana and the others.”

Lauren’s expression darkened, but she just nodded and told them to bring the clothes inside.

Stanley pitched in to help.

Lauren looked like she wanted to say something but held herself back.

Lynn followed them inside, carrying two gift boxes in her arms.

The villa was decorated warmly, clearly a recent move–in. A nanny was busy in the kitchen, and the dining table was already set with several dishes.

Diana nudged her. “Hungry?”

Lynn smiled, turning her attention away. “Don’t you think your client is looking at you a bit strangely?” she whispered.

Diana couldn’t help but glance at Lauren. Lauren was frowning, staring right back at her.

When their eyes met, the air felt off.

Diana hadn’t thought much of it before, but with Lynn’s comment and now seeing that look, something did seem strange.

They both forced tight smiles and nodded at each other.

Diana and Lynn went back to the car to get the last load of clothes.

Lauren brought them coffee. “Have a seat. I just took my phone in to charge. I’ll get you the final payment in a minute.”

“Thanks,” Diana said.

Lynn watched Lauren, whose eyes kept scanning Diana as if searching for something.

Noticing Lynn’s stare, Lauren smiled, averted her gaze, and left.

“Did you know her before?” Lynn asked quietly.

Diana took a sip of coffee. “No. She said she found the studio through a recommendation in the industry.”

“You haven’t made anyone mad lately, have you?”

Diana was puzzled. “No, why?”

Chapter 547 Pumpkin Pie

Lynn shook her head. ‘No reason. Let’s get the payment and go. I’m starving.”

Diana chuckled. “Okay”

As soon as Lauren left, Stanley brought them freshly cut pumpkin pie.

“Diana, try this! My dad made it himself,” Stanley said, eagerly offering it.

Lynn and Diana didn’t stand on ceremony, each taking a small piece.

As Diana ate the pie, she seemed to zone out. She looked at the pie. then at Stanley.

“What’s your dad’s name?” Diana asked.

Lynn. happily eating the pie. looked at her, confused.

Stanley grinned. ‘Gareth. My dad’s name is Gareth Williams. My last name is Webster, though. Gareth is my stepdad, but he’s been really good to me-

Diana spat the pumpkin pie into a nearby trash can. She stood up and kicked the can away with her foot.

Lynn jumped up and grabbed her arm. She knew about Diana’s issues with her father. So this order wasn’t a coincidence at all.

Stanley just stared at Diana. bewildered. ‘Diana…”

Diana looked at him with disgust. “Don’t talk to me!”

Stanley had no idea what he’d said wrong and stood there speechless. He’d only wanted to share something that made him happy.

“Dinner’s ready!” the nanny called from the kitchen.

Diana’s eyes swept over the dining table. She let out a cold laugh and started to pull Lynn toward the door.

“Ms. Williams, Lauren’s voice stopped her. Lauren walked over, smiling, phone in hand.

Gareth followed her down the stairs.

When Gareth saw Diana, his eyes widened in surprise. “Diana…” he murmured, his voice soft.

Stanley looked between them, trying to piece it all together.

And Diana had recognized the taste in the pumpkin pie.

Before Gareth had cheated, he used to make pumpkin pie for them every Thanksgiving. Back when they couldn’t afford to buy it, he’d make it himself.

Now they could afford it, but the homemade version had lost its old flavor.

Yet Diana had still recognized it.
