Chapter 132: Lunch at Hazel’s

Her eyes widened.

By the time their lips parted, she was breathless once again.

Her hands slid down his shoulders.

’’I warned this time,’’ he whispered, tucking the loose strands of her hair with both his hands.

Diana placed both her hands on his chest, letting them rest there as she tried to catch her breath.

And Maxim could not avert his gaze from the sight of it. From the sight of her.

She was the most beautiful vision to behold. Eyes so dazed as if she was hypnotized, cheeks tinted red from every dirty fantasy creeping in her head, and lips so swollen & wet that he wanted to bruise them in the sweetest way.

Diana Chen was the epitome of beauty, the kind he was never tired of.

She gently pushed him away and he stepped back easily without any complaints, one of his hands still fixated on her waist under her coat as he brought her down from the desk.

’’Angel is looking for me,’’ was the first thing she said, surprising them both.

’’Since we were together, I am certain that she did not call you to tell you that,’’ he mocked the woman who said those words after they just made out on his office desk.

’’She doesn’t need to call. It’s maternal instinct,’’ she adjusted her dress calmly, getting rid of his hand clinging to her waist in the process.

’’You are not the mother though,’’ Maxim deadpanned.

Diana’s lips thinned but she did not look at his face, ’’I am the Aunt. There is still a connection. You won’t get it.’’

"_"

’’Let me drop you there...’’

’’Cabs...’’ she turned around and rushed towards the door, ’’...are much more interesting,’’ And with that said, she left his office without looking back at him.

Maxim leaned back on the desk that contained some freshly wild memories and let his fingers sink into his hair.

He could still smell her scent wrapping around him even after she left.

It was crazy. He was going crazy.

She had been avoiding him for the past few days for who knows what. He let her do that to not overwhelm her and now that this happened.... Was he going to be on her blocklist after tonight?

’’Fuck,’’ Maxim dragged his hands down his face cursed into his palms yet he could not force himself to feel a pinch of regret.

He could still feel the softness of her lips against his while the scent of roses lingered around him. Those pretty lips. They could do much more. They could—

’You are so fucked,’ the annoying voice in his head was once again back to mock him.

...

The next morning.

Ivy, who was typing away insanely on her laptop paused when she felt the stiffness in the air, ’’You have been quiet. Is there something bothering you? Oh my god, are you sick again...’’

’’I am fine,’’ Diana interrupted the girl, rubbing her lips as she watched Angel crawl on the floor, feeling relieved that she had decided to get this new carpet. Now that Angel’s movements had increased, it would be better this way.

Angel was growing up and her features had started changing a bit. Her eyes were growing wider, a more animated version of how they used to be before and she was even chanting gibberish now, along with her movements.

Diana almost started feeling nostalgic until Ivy shattered the atmosphere by saying, ’’You have been rubbing your lips since yesterday. Do you have an infection? Is it serious?" she even put her laptop aside and moved towards her on the couch to check her condition.

Diana covered her lips with her palms. It was silly of her given that there was no way Ivy would know what happened between her and Maxim just by looking at her lips. Right? Right.

Ah.

’’No infection.’’

’’Oh no, you have dark circles too,’’ Ivy gasped dramatically, ’’We must go to the hospital...’’

’’I am fine,’’ her face flushed as she pressed the tip of her index finger on the girl’s head and pushed her back.

’’Dee...’’ Ivy turned silent all of a sudden.

Diana blinked, ’’W-What?"

’’Are you seeing a man?" Ivy stroked her chin.

’’What? O-Of course not. Why would you say that?"

’’You stuttered. You are seeing someone then. Is it that tattoo guy?" Ivy raised her brow.

Diana speechlessly glanced at the heart tattoo sitting on her wrist. Why was everyone after her tattoo these days? ’’I am not seeing anyone,’’ she pursed her lips.

’’How boring,’’ Ivy waved her hand, ’’I am going on a date tonight. I’ll be leaving Angel in your capable hands,’’ she winked.

’’You have a boyfriend?" Diana was surprised. Since Ivy had mostly been staying at home, locked up with her laptop, doing household work, or playing with Angel, she had not thought about the possibility of her having a boyfriend.

’’Hmm?" Ivy seemed surprised, ’’You go on dates only with your boyfriend?"

Diana was speechless. Fine, you win.

’’No, I won’t mind going on a date with fictional men,’’ Diana mumbled, ’’...because I lack experience with the real ones...’’

’’No shit? Are you serious? That’s crazy, Dee!" Ivy seemed to be on the verge of hyperventilating but luckily, her phone started ringing right at that time.

She answered the call while Diana returned her attention to Angel, her face growing warm for the umpteenth time at the reminder of yesterday.

’’Dee, for you...’’ Ivy handed her phone to Diana.

’’For me?’’ Diana was bewildered. Who would call Ivy’s cellphone and want to talk to her?

...

While Diana stood in front of a beautiful villa, she inhaled a deep breath.

When she answered the call, she did not expect it to be Maxim’s mother asking her to come over for lunch.

She wanted to give her an excuse saying that she was busy with work but Maxim, that betrayer, had sold them out.

He had told his mother that he was available today and would only leave if there was some emergency case.

And hence, here she was, being escorted by Maxim to his mother’s place.

The man came to stand beside her after finishing his phone call. He was holding Angel in one hand while carrying the little girl’s basket in the other.

For some weird reason, Angel seemed to be more fond of Maxim compared to Diana. She clung to him whenever she saw him. It almost made her a bit jealous.
