Chapter 264 His Vanquisher

• Is he showing care for me now? He was the one who made me stand behind him for half an hour. He even forgot about my existence at one point! Diane felt rather resentful toward him. "I'm fine. I don't need you to worry about me, President Wayne." Even though she was throwing a mild tantrum, her tone was rather soft, and it sounded like she was expressing herself in a coquettish manner.
• Christopher couldn't lie—he secretly enjoyed it. It was rare for her to speak in such a tone, after all. "It's good that you're fine." Christopher's tone was softer after that. "I told Rosalind to prepare some soup for you. You can have some later." Diane didn't say anything in response. After a period of silence, Diane considered asking how she was supposed to deal with Wilcox and Emilia. Her question was at the tip of her tongue, but she eventually decided against it as she didn't want to start another fight. Forget it. He can do what he wants; it's none of my business. He's Christopher, after all. As Scott said, my unintentional acts might accidentally hurt his pride. I might as well not ask any questions at all. At that thought, Diane felt rather embarrassed, especially since he was still holding her hand.
• "You had a meeting even after working hours, so I bet you have more work to do, right? You don't have to spend time with me. You can go ahead and do your work," Diane offered. She wore a sincere gaze in her pair of glistening eyes, but he knew that she wasn't trying to be sweet to him. She simply wanted him to get out of her sight.
