Chapter 127

Diana’s pov

Nails pierced through the flesh of my palm, warm liquid oozing out.

Yet, I couldn’t sense any pain.

My breath paused briefly,

Then, I asked, “Are you serious?”

Nathan abruptly looked up, seemingly surprised that my initial reaction wasn’t denial but a thoughtful inquiry.

In that moment, a hint of frantic astonishment flashed in his icy, indifferent eyes.

I even thought he regretted the impulsive suggestion.

But words were spoken, and evidently, there was no turning back. Nathan chose silence.

Honestly, just as Nathan couldn’t anticipate my response, I struggled to understand his reaction.

So, even though I hadn’t agreed to Nathan’s absurd proposal, I provocatively said, “No problem, I can go along if you find someone. I’m up for it.”

“Diana!”

Before I could finish, Nathan couldn’t bear it any longer. He sat up straight, his gaze intense, fiery anger as if he wanted to turn me into ashes.

I found it amusing and perplexing. “Didn’t you suggest this? I agreed, so why the urgency now?”

Nathan’s hand, resting on the sofa’s armrest, unconsciously tightened, knuckles paling.

As I observed the indentation and even cracks on the sofa’s surface, I felt a pang of pity. I regretted inviting him to sit.

“Diana, have you no shame?” Nathan seemed to suppress his anger forcefully.

Blinking, I couldn’t fathom why he was so angry.

Frowning, I reiterated, “You proposed this.”
