Chapter 127

Diana’s pov

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

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.

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

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.
