Chapter 1452

She opened her eyes, and smiled apologetically at him.

The next moment, the smile froze on her face.

Wait…

Fear and doubt filled her eyes in an instant.

“Professor Hughes, how did you get in here?”

This was hers and Betty’s room. How could she rest easy knowing that a man could come in so
easily?!

“I have the room card,” Jim said. He raised the card in his hand, and glanced at another room card on
Diana’s bedside table. “Since you have mine, I should take yours, too. Fair exchange is no robbery.”

He smiled.

Was this the way to a fair exchange? The thought sent chills down Diana’s spine.

If Diana continued making excuses for Jim and thinking that he was just another normal, good person,
she would truly be a fool. She wondered if the conclusion she arrived at before she fell asleep had
been right after all.

“Professor Hughes,” Diana said, feeling even more calm in the face of danger.

Although she was just over the age of twenty, she had gone through much more compared to ordinary
people. She had



experienced various situations that might shock many.

Diana knew that she was greatly vulnerable right before Jim. Delivering an ultimatum, questioning him
loudly, or even making a scene would be useless.

Collapsing right now was even more useless. It would only make Jim more smug. What she needed to
do was to figure out her relationship with him.

“I remember you saying that you’ve known me for a long time.”

This time, Diana wasn’t in a rush to ask about Jim’s feelings for her. He refused to tell the truth both
times when she asked him, after all. She had to try another way, and see if she could find out when
things started between them both.

“Yes,” Jim said. The topic Diana raised seemed to spark Jim’s interest.

His eyes lit up like a child who received some candy. Joy filled his gaze, as if he were looking at
something as wondrous as the Northern lights.

He was a handsome man. Diana couldn’t ignore that fact.

She looked at Jim, and clenched her fists.

Very good.

She told herself to calm down.

This man didn’t seem harder to deal with than Julian. In fact, even at such a time, Diana was able to
perfectly make use of the psychological qualities that she picked up from

Julian.



She continued probing, her voice crisp and clear, “Well, when was that? Professor Hughes, when did
you first get to know me? Why don’t I remember you?”

Jim seemed to be immersed in his memories. “Our beginning was very interesting.”

He looked at Diana’s stomach, and gestured, “Probably when you were this young.”

Diana’s heart leapt. “Are you saying that our fate started when I was in my mother’s womb? My mother
and yours…?”

Diana couldn’t ignore something that had to do with her birth circumstances. She clenched her fists
even tighter, clearly becoming more anxious than before.

Jim wasn’t pleased to see that. “Relax. I won’t hurt you.”

He said it genuinely, and for some reason, Diana believed him.

The lights were dim in the hotel room, which was very suitable for a pregnant lady to rest.

Jim had her in mind when thinking of such details, even at a time like this.

He was worried Diana might get tired listening to him speak, and took extra care by making sure he
spoke softly, as if he were telling bedtime stories to a child.

“Our mothers know each other.”

He smiled.

“James Winnington isn’t your father, but Kate Renforth is indeed your biological mother.”
