Chapter 109

Diana’s pov

Is he angry?

But why would he be angry?

I can’t find any reason.

It can’t be because Ryley hugged me; is he jealous?

I disregarded the emotions in his eyes, smiling wryly, “Whatever I do here seems to have nothing to do with you, Alpha Nathan.”

“Diana, I…”

Nathan seemed to want to say something more, but I didn’t give him the chance.

“Alpha Nathan, the message you had Healer relay to me, I remember it all. I believe you haven’t forgotten,” I said.

—

-Anything related to me, he doesn’t want to know.

He won’t be involved in the further investigation of Gummy Skull.

Nathan choked up, lips pressed into a thin line. In his amber eyes, there seemed to be a hint of struggle.

…What is he struggling with?

Realizing I was once again succumbing to curiosity about him, I frowned irritably.

“I don’t know why your attitude towards me suddenly changed, but continuing to investigate is really unnecessary. Since you’ve said we should step back to being strangers, I’ll abide by that. I hope…”

I stared at Nathan without blinking, enunciating each word, “You will abide by it as well. I won’t disturb you, and I hope you won’t disturb me anymore.”

Nathan looked at me with icy coldness, offering no verbal response.

I didn’t expect any reaction from him either.

For me, this conversation has come to an end.

The annoying music downstairs continues, along with the shouts of men and women, drilling into my ears like needles.

I don’t linger, I turn and leave with Ryley.

Ryley supported me to his car parked at the bar’s entrance.

Before he could open the back seat door, I sat in the front passenger seat.

There are too many doubts about tonight, not just because of Nathan.

Ryley glanced at me for a moment, said nothing, circled around the front of the car, and took the driver’s seat.

For a while, neither of us spoke. That’s normal; after all, Ryley has always been silent, unconditionally executing all my commands, giving a sense of security that betrayal will never come.
