Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 493

Chapter 493: Chapter 493 The Doubts She Couldn’t Ignore

Diana’s hands trembled.

Her thoughts were a tangled mess. Everything that had happened seemed almost unreal, as though she’d imagined the whole thing. Yet she couldn’t be certain that the man she’d seen yesterday was Liam.

Nor could she rule out the possibility that other luxury hotels used the same tableware.

She had no conclusive proof. Not yet.

Diana leaned against the sink for a long time, feeling as though someone had reached into her chest and torn her heart out.

Yesterday, she’d expected Liam to call her as soon as he had a moment. He hadn’t.

And just now, he hadn’t even told her exactly where his business trip was taking him.

She knew she was overthinking things. After all these years together, she shouldn’t doubt him or judge him over a few small inconsistencies.

Their relationship had once been the envy of countless people.

How could Liam possibly have betrayed her?

But...

Diana clenched her fists and splashed cold water on her face.

Only after she’d composed herself did she turn and walk out.

“Finish breakfast, then go take a nap. You don’t look well.”

Liam had just set down his bowl of soup when he looked up and noticed how pale Diana was.

His expression changed. He immediately got up, walked over to her, and pressed a hand to her forehead.

“Why are you so pale? Are you feeling sick?”

Without waiting for an answer, he scooped her into his arms.

“Come on. We’re going to the hospital.”

“There’s no need.”

Seeing the worry etched across Liam’s face, Diana pressed her lips together, keeping the turmoil inside her under control.

“I just didn’t sleep well last night. I don’t know why, but I felt strangely anxious and couldn’t fall asleep.”

Then she suddenly flashed him a grin.

“Don’t you think I’m acting a little weird?”

Liam looked down at her. The urgency in his expression gradually eased, though his arms tightened around her instinctively before he finally set her down beside the dining table.

“What’s going on?”

“I don’t know. I just suddenly felt uneasy.” Diana picked up her spoon and took a sip of soup before winking at him playfully. “You haven’t done anything to hurt me, have you?”

Liam pulled out a napkin and gently wiped the corner of her mouth. Then he leaned down, cupped her face, and spoke through clenched teeth.

“Diana, what kind of nonsense is that?”

“Are you angry?”

Diana smiled up at him.

Liam sat down and gave her a pointed look.

“What do you think?”

“Fair enough. Why would you betray me?” She waved a hand as though the matter meant nothing to her. “If you really did, our marriage would be over before it even got started.”

She lowered her head and resumed eating the slices of ham on her plate.

That was Diana for you. She said whatever came to mind, whenever it came to mind. Her words sounded like a joke, sometimes even a mischievous tease. She’d always been outspoken.

But for a brief moment, Liam’s eyes darkened.

The man who was usually gentle and patient with her suddenly looked stern. He pressed his lips together and took her hand.

“That’s not funny. Hearing you say something like that hurts.”

He meant every word.

The thought of their marriage ending had nearly driven him to the edge.

He and Diana were supposed to grow old together. He would love her and cherish her for the rest of his life.

He’d spent far too many years trapped in darkness. Diana was the one who had led him out of it.

They were inseparable, woven so deeply into each other’s lives that the thought of being torn apart felt unbearable.

He had never imagined a future without her. Not once.

Diana stopped sipping her soup and met his eyes, watching the emotions churning beneath his gaze.

Then she giggled.

“I get it. Is there any soup left? I want some more.”

Liam studied her face. She looked perfectly normal again, just as she always did, but something inside him remained unsettled, like a knot tightening around his chest.

“There’s more. Sit tight. I’ll get you some.”

He ruffled her hair, picked up her bowl, and headed into the kitchen.

As soon as he was gone, Diana’s hand slackened around her spoon. Her expression slowly faded, leaving her looking strangely distant.

*****

In the kitchen, Liam had just picked up the ladle when his phone vibrated in his pocket.

He glanced at the screen. The incoming call was from an unsaved number.

He declined it.

The caller tried again.

Liam’s expression turned cold. He rejected the call once more and blocked the number.

A message arrived almost immediately.
