Shining Bright After Rebirth

Chapter 967 Envy Himself

Nolan looked at Diana and said, “Diana, it’s alright, we’re not short of money. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters. Even though you didn’t win, you’re in a good mood.”

All night, her laughter had filled the room, even though she lost a lot of money to them.

Diana asked, “Nolan, do you think I’m really happy? Why can’t I ever win? Olivia said I don’t bet my life, just my luck.”

The other four were speechless.

That was blatant bragging.

Nolan laughed, “Diana, you’ve said all that, but isn’t the last part really what you wanted to say?”

Under the lights, Nolan’s features were sharp, his demeanor elegant. After years of working in the business world, he maintained his pure smile.

Diana suddenly realized that Nolan had grown up. He was now a capable man.

She wasn’t bragging. “Nolan, Nick, Barry, we’ve known each other since we were little. We’ve watched each other grow. It never felt like much before, but this year, it hit me that we’ve all

“Back then, each of you had grand ambitions. Nolan, you always wanted to be a CEO, and now your dreams come true.

“Nick, you always wanted to be a police officer. What happened?”

Diana then turned to Barry. “Barry, you used to dream of being a designer. After I left, you all should have gone abroad to study. But instead, you stayed behind to protect me. I’ve told you so many times–just go chase your dreams. Why didn’t you go abroad?”

Nick smiled, “Ms. Bishop, I wanted to be a police officer, to protect people. My dream has already come true. Besides being a cop, I’m your bodyguard.”

Barry gave a wry smile. “Ms. Bishop, you’ve been so focused on Steven these past three years that you didn’t see our efforts. We’ve all fulfilled our dreams. Now that you need us, we’ve come back to your side.”

Diana was both surprised and relieved. She patted her chest with a smile. “I’m glad I didn’t delay your dreams. Now that I know you’ve all made them come true, I can sleep well tonight. Good night, everyone.”

She smiled and stood up. Luna asked, “Diana, aren’t you going. to stay up with us?”
