Brian had hated Kyle since he was a child. Seeing him together with Diana, Brian instinctively followed them. He wanted to check out what Kyle was planning. He never expected that Kyle would take Diana to his grandfather’s house and convince her to move in!
Brian disliked men who played tricks to earn women’s hearts; he thought it was shameful and ridiculous for a man to do that. That was why he kicked down the door and broke into the house.
So, after all that, he never expected Diana to scold him so harshly. No one had ever been like that with him before. Brian was still mad when he thought of what she had said.
Back in the dormitory, Diana was still perplexed by the change in her roommates’ attitude.
“Diana, it’s all our fault. Can you forgive us? We really want us to be friends again,” one of them smiled sweetly at Diana.
Diana was suspicious. “Did someone say something to you?”
The girls looked at each other and squeezed out a smile. “No. We only just found out the truth. We were so bad to you before, we’re sorry.”
“Really?” Diana slowly came to believe their words. Then she added, “Who told you the truth then?”
Though Diana was kind, she wasn’t completely stupid. She didn’t believe her roommates would change like that in such a short time. It was impossible for them to change so drastically in a matter of days. Something must have happened that she didn’t know about.
They looked at each other and smiled at Diana. “We can’t tell you. He asked us to keep it a secret.”
Looking at their awkward expressions and words, Diana could tell who the man was. It had to be Brian.
Thinking of him, Diana had a strange feeling. She couldn’t tell whether it was happiness or unhappiness. She had been quite harsh with him earlier that day. And now she felt very mixed up.
The girls looked at Diana, unsure of what to say. They were frightened now.
Diana shook her hand at them and said, “It is over now. You don’t have to worry.”
Diana knew her roommates were bad people. Still, she couldn’t be happy when she thought about what Brian must have done to change their mind. He probably offered them money or threatened them.
Now everyone would think she was intimate with him.
“One last thing; you’d better not tell anyone about this. Otherwise, that man will do something terrible.”
Diana was actually trying to protect them, but they thought she was threatening them.
So, did she think she was some kind of queen just because she was having an affair with a rich man? They kept smiling, while internally, they hated her. Brian had warned them not to hurt her so they would have to keep their grudge to themselves, for now.
Their discussion was over and Diana returned to thinking about whether she should apologize to Brian or not.
After she had calmed down, Diana considered that Brian might have just reacted out of anger.
She knew him. If he didn’t show a sign of embarrassment, he was honest. What’s more, despite his many faults, he never lied to her.
Diana started to think she had made a mistake.
Even the issue with her roommates, she didn’t like the way Brian had handled it, but she had to admit that he had solved the problem. And he had done it to look out for her.
Taking a deep breath, Diana took out her phone and texted Brian. “I am sorry for what happened this afternoon. Maybe next time you could explain things more clearly.”
Diana put her phone aside and started to review her books.
