hapter 34
Diana’s pov
I suddenly withdrew my thoughts, focused all my attention on the race, and caught up with him again..
I shouldn’t underestimate Nathan… I silently told myself in my heart.
After about ten minutes, the race still had no clear winner.
Then came the last turn!
I immediately released the accelerator, lowered the gear, and chose the optimal route with my familiarity with the terrain.
Then I lightly pressed the accelerator and switched back to the outer lane of the curve after passing the top of the curve.
Nathan was slightly slower than me.
I pressed the accelerator hard. With centrifugal force, the car instantly unleashed its full potential and flew out.
Nathan was indeed excellent.
But he was less familiar with this track than me.
The cars crossed the finish line and I defeated Nathan by three seconds.
I unfastened the seat belt and got out of the car.
When I passed by Nathan’s car, he lowered the car window.
“It’s over,” I said to him. “You lost.”
He stared at me directly, his emotioris complex, as if he had something more important to tell me besides the race.
After a while, he suddenly asked, “Who are you?”
“What?” I twisted my eyebrows and said, “Don’t you know who I am?”
“Nothing,” Nathan turned his head and his gaze fell on the steering wheel. “Maybe I was thinking too much.”
I didn’t go
into his words, only gave him a cold look.
“Don’t forget our bet.”
After that, I left the field.
When I returned to the audience, they was completely silent.
As if none of them could believe that I would have won over Alpha Nathan, their expressions frozen and their mouths wide open.
Claud recovered from his shock and shouted loudly-
“Impossible! You must have cheated! Did you bribe the boss here? How could you possibly defeat Alpha Nathan! I don’t believe it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately chimed in.
“Yes! We don’t believe it! We demand another match.”
“Another race! Have another race!”
Many of them bet on Nathan.
ส
They even bet a lot of money because they thought the chances of winning were high.
Now their losses were huge, and everyone was trying to reverse the situation through some means.
I casually walked through the audience.
However, what surprised me was that Nathan would stand up and speak for me.
“The game is fair and just. I lost.”
His voice was not loud, but due to Alpha’s innate aura, it was still heard by everyone.
“Diana, I will fulfill your request,” he said to me.
I didn’t look back, but instead walked up to the organizer and took the sapphire brooch, pinning it on Victor’s left collar in front of everyone.
At that moment, I seemed to feel a burning gaze almost piercing my soul.
Even my wolf couldn’t help but shudder.
Victor noticed my frigid gesture and hugged me into his arms.
I shook my head to sign that he didn’t have to worry.
“Let’s get out of here. I’m tired,” I said.
Victor nodded.
On the way home, I sat in the passenger seat, leaning against the window.
The evening breeze blew over my cheeks, gradually clearing my thoughts.
I started to think about the sentence Nathan said to me not long ago-
“Who are you?”
“Nothing. Maybe I was thinking too much.”
What exactly did he mean?
Was he questioning my identity?
I once competed with him on the road in terms of driving skills. Did he discover my identity?
“What are you thinking?” Victor asked while driving.
“I’m thinking about Nathan.”
And I realized that’s might make Victor misunderstand and explained, “What I mean is, I’m thinking about what Nathan has just said.”
I told Victor about my doubts.
“So are you worried that Nathan might know you’re Healer?”
“It can’t be called a worry.” I turned my head and looked out of the car window. “I just feel that there’s no need to let those irrelevant know about my identity as Healer. It will only add to the trouble. Moreover, if he finds out that I’m Healer, he might even think I’m trying to harm Avia.”
I wrung my lips sarcastically.
About twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the villa.
“Thank you for driving me back. Be careful when you drive.
I unfastened my seat belt and prepared to get off the car.
Victor suddenly grabbed my wrist.
“Just now, when you said you were thinking about Nathan, I was upset at the
moment.”
I pursed my lips and didn’t know what to say.
Victor continued, “Diana, it’s been a year now. Do you still like Alpha Nathan?”
“I don’t,” I blurted out, faster than I thought I could.
“It’s okay. It’s okay, Diana. You can take your time.”
Victor’s voice paused slightly, and his grip on my wrist tightened slightly.
He stared at me and said in a gentle voice, “But I hope you can occasionally pay attention to others. For example… me.”
“Victor…”
“Diana, I’ve always liked you. I’ve liked you since we were children. You know it, right?”
I dared not look into Victor’s eyes, “I’m sorry.”
Victor stopped and looked at me sadly.
But I knew I had to express my ideas clearly.
I couldn’t let him continue to waste time on me.
This was not fair to him.
“Victor, I have always regarded you as a close friend.”
“We grew up together, studied together, went through hardships together… Why don’t you just like me?”
I couldn’t answer him.
Love was difficult to explain.
For example, when I met Nathan, was it just because of Mate that I fell in love with him?
Maybe part of, but it wasn’t the only reason.
!!
“Never mind. Forget it.” Victor released me with a gentle enough smile. “If answering this question would bother you, then I don’t need an answer.” Victor looked down at his watch, “It’s almost twelve o’clock, go back to rest”
I didn’t say much, got off the car and returned to my room.
The maid came in and asked if I needed to have some midnight snack.
1 shook my head.
“By the way, Miss, I have something happy to tell you.” The maid looked excited, “Lionel has already learned how to crawl.”
I was very shocked.
Most babies could crawl when they were seven months, but Lionel only needed three
months.
This was amazing!
“I’ll go see him,” I said excitedly.
The maid followed behind me, “But Lionel is already asleep.”
