Chapter 119

Diana’s pov

There was a moment when I naively thought Nathan still had some feelings for me. Why else would he stop Avia? But soon, reality slapped me hard.

Avia looked at Nathan with resentment and innocence, tears streaming down her face.

“Nathan, do you still love Diana? Even after she repeatedly embarrassed me?” she asked.

“No,” Nathan answered without hesitation.

“Then why stop me?” Avia questioned.

Nathan held Avia’s hand, speaking gently, “I just don’t want you to dirty your hands; she’s not worth it.”

Dirty…

Not worth it…

I chewed on those words, a needle–like pain spreading in my heart. But more than that, it felt absurd. Just like Nathan regretted being attracted to “someone like me,” I regretted falling in love with him.

After Nathan’s explanation, Avia’s sadness vanished instantly. She glanced at me, a hint of triumph barely concealed.

She nestled in Nathan’s arms, her voice sweet. “I knew it; you only have me in your heart, Nathan. I’m so happy.”

Nathan remained silent, gently patting Avia’s back, appearing very tender.

“Oh, by the way,” Avia lifted her head from Nathan’s embrace, “I’ve rested enough; we can continue our engagement ceremony now.”

“Sure,” Nathan focused on Avia, leading her towards the staircase.

As Avia passed by me, she no longer restrained herself, looking at me with disdain, reveling in her triumph. Through silent gestures, she told me, “Diana, you lost.”

Avia’s display meant nothing to me, yet, for some reason, I still felt profoundly upset. I even began to despise myself.

How could I let myself become so pitiful? Like a wretched clown…

Nathan and Avia’s footsteps gradually faded behind me. Suddenly, they halted.

I heard Nathan’s displeased voice, “What are you doing here?”

Turning around, I saw Moss standing opposite Nathan.

Today, Moss looked exceptionally different. He wore a more expensive pair of narrow–framed glasses with a chain, his hair slicked back, leaving only a few strands to cover half of his eyebrow. Dressed in a well–tailored black tailcoat, he looked remarkably handsome and suaye, a far cry from the man in the lab coat
