Chapter 24 A New Job
After taking care of Diana during her last illness, Howard’s attitude towards her had totally shifted.
He wasni
1 all distant and polite anymore. Sometimes, he’d even show some affection in front of Sophia, like they were a young couple in love
Sephia was over the mo
moon with Howards change. She was all smiles every day, and you could see her health getting better.
One day, Sephia pulled Dana aside with a mysterious look and whispered, “Diana, when are you and Howard gonna have a baby?”
Dianas eyes went wide in shock, realizing Sophia was already nudging them about having a kid.
Sering the hopeful look in Sophia’s eyes, Diana awkwardly smiled and said, “Grandma, we’re still young. Let’s talk about kids later.”
“Alright, Sophia sighed, Tm not trying to pressure you. It’s just that I’m getting old, and I don’t know how much longer I have…
“Grandma!” Diana didnt want to hear that and quickly interrupted, “Grandma, as long as you stay happy every day, you I definitely live along and healthy
“Well, I hope so” Sophia smiled kindly and then started chatting with Diana, dropping the baby talk.
Diana secretly breathed a sigh of relief
She understood Sophia’s desire for great–grandchildren.
But Diana and Howard had an agreement. Even though Howard’s attitude had improved a lot, Diana couldn’t believe it was love.
After the painful lessons of her past, she wasn’t hoping for any kind of affection.
But every time Howard got close, her heart would flutter. She wondered if she was falling for him
Just thinking about falling in love again made Diana shiver, so she decided to just let things happen naturally.
“Diana, we be moving back to Luxe Haven Apartments tomorrow, Howard said out of the blue during dinner with Sophia one evening.
“Why?” Diana blinked, puzzled.
Howard paused and said lightly. “It’s closer to the company”
Diana thought, Don’t you drive? What difference does it make where you go to the company from?”
“I want to stay with Grandma,” Diana lowered her eyes and said softly.
“We can come back every week to company Grandma for a couple of days,” lloward suid.
“But…” Diana started to say something but was interrupted by Sophia,
“Going back is good.” Sophia put down her utensils and said with a smile, “You two are so sweet in front of me every day. It’s better if you go back and just visit me regularly.”
“Grandma, Diana fooked at the smiling Sophia and called softly, blushing,
“Diana.” Sophia leaned in and whispered in Diana’s ear, “You and Howard can spend more time together and maybe a baby will come soon.”
Realizing Sophia hadn’t ghen up on the baby idea. Diana felt helpless.
Since Sophia agreed, Diana couldn’t argue and obediently agreed. Grandma, I’ll come back to visit you every week.”
“Alright.”
The next day. Duana and Howard moved back to Luxe Haven Apartments.
After returning to the apartment, Diana realized that while it was indeed closer to the Spencer Group, it was farther from the antique shop where she restored paintings
The antique shop wasn’t getting much business lately, so Diana decided to look for jobs online.
