Chapter 788 Wait Another Year
Diana looked at Steven's sorrowful expression, her lips pressed together. It was one of those rare moments of calm between them since she had left.
Yet, the shadow of Queenie was everywhere.
Perhaps they really could never go back.
Still, he selfishly wanted to wait another year.
In a year, things would be clearer, and their relationship might improve.
Diana sat on the sofa, cradling the baby.
Steven took a seat opposite her.
"Are you not busy today?" she asked.
"I've wrapped up most of my work," he replied. "I thought I'd take some time to spend with you."
Diana shook her head. "You don't have to. I'm doing fine on my own."
The moment had passed; she had once hoped for Steven's company, but he had never been there for her.
As she gazed at the baby, watching him smile, she couldn't help but smile back.
"Little Harlan, you're so adorable! Give me another smile, come on."
Steven couldn't help but smile at her playful demeanor. Just then, his phone buzzed. He glanced down to see it was Queenie calling.
Remembering the man she was with, he stood up to take the call outside.
Diana recognized it was Queenie and felt a wave of calm wash over her.
Outside, Steven answered, "Hello?"
"Hey, Steven. There's a gala tomorrow night. Can you come with me?" Queenie asked sweetly.
Steven declined. "I have a business trip tomorrow. I can't make it."
