Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1107: How Can He Let Go of You?

He said his life was still hers, and she could take it at any time.

Dianna didn’t speak again. At that moment, someone walked over, "Dianna, why were you in the bathroom for so long? Hurry back with mom, Yuric is getting anxious waiting for you."

Dianna turned around; Jodie Young had arrived.

Jodie Young was very afraid of Cain Shaw and Dianna rekindling their past relationship, so when both of them disappeared, she quickly came to find them. As expected, the two were together, and Jodie Young looked a bit displeased.

"Mr. Shaw, we are all adults now. We must consider the consequences of our actions. Your current situation has you walking in and out of dangerous situations. If you get close to Dianna, it will definitely bring her danger."

"Moreover, Mr. Shaw, you’re a married man now, a father. If others see you with Dianna, what will they say about her? Do you want Dianna to be labeled as a homewrecker, a mistress who ruins families?"

"Our lives are very peaceful now, as you can see. Dianna is doing well. If you still feel guilty towards her father, please stay away from us; the further, the better."

"Dianna, let’s go." Jodie Young took Dianna’s small hand and led her away from the place.

Cain Shaw stood where he was, watching the silhouettes of the mother and daughter disappear from his sight.

Cain Shaw always felt that Jodie Young was a sharp-tongued person. Three years ago, her words extinguished all his hopes and enthusiasm. Just now, her words once again rooted him to the spot, unable to move.

...

The birthday party ended, and Jodie Young and Dianna were about to head home.

The Thatcher family personally saw them off. Mrs. Thatcher smiled, "Dianna, you should ride with Yuric; let him take you home."

Yuric Thatcher had already taken out his car keys, "Dianna, I’ll drive you home."

Jodie Young was pleased with this arrangement, "Great, Dianna, let Yuric drive you home. I’ll take the car and return. You young people should chat and strengthen your bond; I won’t be the third wheel."

Both families were trying to matchmake Yuric and Dianna. Yuric gazed at Dianna’s cool and pure face, his handsome face slightly blushing.

At this moment, Dianna suddenly spoke, breaking the harmonious atmosphere, "Yuric, you don’t need to take me home. I’m going back with mom."

What?

Jodie Young froze, and both President Thatcher and Mrs. Thatcher’s expressions changed.

Everyone could see the intention for an alliance between the Young and Thatcher families. Now, Yuric just wanted to take Dianna home, and she had refused. Her message was very clear.

"Mr. Thatcher, Mrs. Thatcher, Yuric, thank you for tonight’s invitation. I’m heading home now, goodbye." With that, Dianna turned and left.

The Young family’s driver respectfully opened the rear car door, and Dianna got in, closing the door.

"Dianna..." Mrs. Thatcher started to speak but stopped.

"Josephine, Yuric, Dianna is a bit tired today. She’s been buried in her studies all day at school; she’s probably exhausted from studying. It’s fine, I’ll have a proper talk with her later. That’s it for tonight." Jodie Young quickly said her goodbyes and got into the car. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

...

In the luxury car, the atmosphere between mother and daughter was a bit tense. Jodie Young straightforwardly said, "Dianna, you’re not a child anymore. I believe you understand the intention between our family and the Thatchers. I’ll choose an auspicious date when we get back to arrange your engagement with Yuric. As soon as you graduate, you’ll get married."

Dianna looked at the scenery flashing past outside the window and said softly, "Mom, I don’t like Yuric and I won’t marry him."

"Then who do you like? That Cain Shaw?" Jodie Young, known for her strong personality, was now furious.

Hearing the name "Cain Shaw," Dianna’s eyelashes fluttered, and then she lowered her head, "I don’t."

"Dianna, are you deceiving me or yourself? I heard your conversation with Cain Shaw in the corridor. Cain asked if you hate him; why did you say ’hate’? If you had just said you didn’t hate and that you’ve forgotten the past, Cain Shaw wouldn’t appear in your life anymore. But you said ’hate’; your hatred binds Cain Shaw, how can he let go of you?"

Jodie Young was genuinely angry. In the corridor, one said ’hate,’ the other said ’my life is still yours.’ They obviously hadn’t let go of each other.

Jodie Young felt that these two were already dangerously close to rekindling old flames; any sign would reignite their past relationship.

Dianna’s face looked gentle and serene, "He owes me. Why should I let him go?"

"Dianna, what do you want from him? Wake up, he is married, his son is already three years old!" Jodie Young exclaimed emotionally.

Dianna didn’t want to argue with her mother about this. She spoke, "Stop the car."

The driver quickly pulled over the luxury car, and Jodie Young saw they had reached the school.

"Dianna, it’s so late, you’re still going back to school? Didn’t you plan to sleep at home tonight?"

Dianna opened the car door and stepped out, "Mom, go home. I’m busy at school; I still have to work on my graduation thesis."

"Dianna, I’ve spoken with your mentors and professors. They really like you and want you to stay at the school. For a girl, becoming a university professor is enough for you to outshine those high-society debutantes. You must listen to me on this."

Dianna gave Jodie Young a look, "Mom, I’ve told you, I don’t want to be a professor."

"Then what do you want to do? Do you want to follow in your father’s footsteps?"

Hearing her mother’s suddenly raised voice, filled with coldness and sarcasm, Dianna didn’t want to say anything. They simply couldn’t communicate with one another.

Dianna turned around and entered the school.

...

In the school dormitory, Dianna took a shower and then went to bed. She lay there but couldn’t fall asleep, tossing and turning.

From the lower bunk, her roommate Julie poked her head up and whispered, "Dianna, can’t sleep? A girl tossing and turning at night can only mean one thing, you’re infatuated, thinking about your lover. Come on, tell us honestly, who’s the lucky guy? Let us see who has captured the heart of our beautiful Dianna."

Dianna was known for being hard to woo. Not just the wealthy second-generation sons, even the female students were curious about what kind of man Dianna would like.

Hearing the gossip and excitement in her roommate’s voice, Dianna closed her eyes, "I don’t have anyone I like."

Ugh~

Dianna turned over, extending her small hand under the pillow. Soon, she touched something cold and hard. It was something Cain Shaw had given her three years ago, and she had kept it with her ever since.

Dianna’s soft fingertips traced over the object’s cold, textured surface. She had touched it so many times, she could draw its tiniest patterns from memory.

He’s married and has a son.

Dianna felt that three years ago, she should have killed him!
