Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 491

Chapter 491: Chapter 491 The Habits of Love

Diana stopped typing and edged closer to the gap in the greenery.

She wasn’t standing particularly close, but the area was so quiet that she could clearly see the two figures.

For some reason, the man didn’t answer the woman’s question. He seemed more interested in whatever was on his phone.

The woman looked a little displeased, but her teasing complaint remained playful.

“You promised you’d spend time with me. Is there really something on your phone you can’t put down?”

Only then did the man reach out and slip an arm around her waist, apparently trying to soothe her.

Diana watched them walk away, their backs gradually disappearing from view.

For some reason, she couldn’t seem to look away.

She remained there, lost in thought, until a voice interrupted her.

“What are you spacing out about?”

Rose had grown concerned when Diana didn’t return, so she’d come out to look for her. Seeing her standing there in a daze, she walked over and patted her shoulder.

“What is it? What are you looking at?”

Diana snapped out of her thoughts and smiled, her eyes narrowing slightly.

“The scenery here is so beautiful that I lost track of time. Come on, let’s head back. It’s freezing out here.”

Rose glanced in the direction Diana had been watching.

There was nothing there now.

By the time they returned to the villa, their food had already arrived.

Diana’s eyes lit up.

She hurried over and waved Rose toward the table.

“With food this good, I’m going to eat until I can’t move!”

She popped a piece of dessert into her mouth, then called over her shoulder, “I’ll thank Mr. Knight later. I’m not the type to take advantage of free food without showing some appreciation.”

Rose frowned as she approached and patted Diana’s back.

“Slow down! You’re eating so fast you can barely swallow.”

Diana pouted. “I’ve been working all day. Of course I’m starving.”

“Liam’s going to lecture you again if he finds out.”

Rose shook her head. Liam certainly didn’t go easy on Diana when it came to taking care of herself.

Diana lowered her head and continued eating.

“He doesn’t know yet.”

“You haven’t told him? Did you even let him know you were coming here today?”

Diana reached for a napkin.

“Not yet.”

“Why don’t you tell him now? That way, he won’t worry if he can’t reach you.”

Diana waved a hand dismissively, her eyes half-closed in a carefree smile.

“There’s no need. He’s on a business trip, so he won’t be coming home tonight. He’s probably still busy. By the time he realizes I’m not home and asks about it, we’ll already be back.”

Rose studied her for a moment.

Diana had always been afraid of upsetting Liam, yet now she’d gone out for the day without even telling him.

In the past, she would have shared practically everything she did with him.

“Fine, do whatever you want,” Rose said at last. “As long as I’m here with you, it’s no big deal.”

“Are we going to the hot springs later?”

The door swung open, and Ryan walked in.

He’d just arrived, and the sharp chill of the spring evening seemed to follow him inside, sending a cold draft across Rose’s face.

His gaze settled on her.

Taking in the atmosphere between them, Diana speared a piece of cake with her fork and smiled knowingly.

“This is the kind of couples’ activity you two should be enjoying together. I’m not going to be a third wheel. I know when to give people some space.”

She was remarkably perceptive when it came to these things.

The closeness between Rose and Ryan was unmistakable. They had a natural intimacy about them now, the kind that made it obvious when someone else was intruding.

Diana had no intention of spoiling their time together.

Only then did Ryan glance casually at her.

“She came here to spend time with you today. I won’t get in the way. Enjoy yourselves, and I’ll take you both back to the city tomorrow.”

He glanced at his watch.

“There are plenty of activities here, and the hot springs are worth trying. I have an online meeting to attend, so you two go ahead and enjoy yourselves.”

Diana blinked.

Was he really handing Rose over to her for the day?

He was being surprisingly generous.

Besides, with Ryan occupied by a meeting, it would hardly make sense for Rose and Diana to spend the evening sitting around the villa.

“Okay, okay. Let me message Liam first.”

Diana lowered her eyes to her phone. Liam’s profile picture was pinned at the top of her WhatsApp chats, and she tapped on it.
