Cain Shaw couldn’t believe that the daughter-in-law the Thatcher family had chosen for Yuric Thatcher, his sweetheart, was... Dianna!
At this mont, chatter from the elite ladies reached his ears,
"Look, Dianna is here!"
"Three years ago, President Young brought back his daughter Dianna, and she quickly made a na for herself among the upper-class ladies, ousting the previous ’Number One Ice Beauty’ of Crestfall and taking her place."
"Isn’t she just an ice beauty? Have you ever seen her smile? She thinks she’s above us and never mingles with us."
"Now, there are so many rich young n pursuing her that they’re lined up all the way to Gallia. Who knows how many people have driven luxury cars to her school just to wait for her. She’s certainly in high spirits."
"Say no more, the Thatchers and Youngs have a deep connection. Mrs. Thatcher and President Young have been best friends for over ten years. This ti, Young Master Thatcher’s birthday party is specifically waiting for Dianna to arrive. Isn’t it obvious? Dianna is set to marry into the Thatcher family, marking a high-profile union between the Thatcher and Young families."...
Cain Shaw listened to these discussions expressionlessly. Now Dianna had beco the object of envy and jealousy among these upper-class ladies. The mont she appeared, she beca the focal point.
It seed that the union between the Thatcher and Young families was already well-known, and Dianna was indeed going to marry... Yuric Thatcher.
At this ti, Mrs. Thatcher warmly greeted them, "Jodie, Dianna, we’re over here."
Jodie Young looked up and saw Mrs. Thatcher. She politely nodded to the executives gathered around and then walked over with her daughter, Dianna.
"Dianna, you’ve arrived?" Yuric Thatcher ran over to Dianna, his eyes shining as he looked at her.
Dianna’s once immature features had matured, her face small like a lotus, adorned with a pair of cool, bright eyes, resembling a spring pool gently flowing, glimring with light.
Her beauty was captivating, and her eyes even more so, making n want to kiss her at first sight.
Dianna gave a slight nod, "Mm."
Mrs. Thatcher affectionately took Jodie Young’s hand, "Jodie, Yuric has been waiting for Dianna since early morning. Look how happy he is now that she’s here."
Jodie Young and Mrs. Thatcher were good friends. Back in the day, when she divorced Jason Hollis and ca to City of Crestfall alone to start her business, it was extrely challenging for a woman. Mrs. Thatcher, Josephine Thatcher, stood by her and gave her great support, and the two friends’ relationship was exceptionally strong. Jodie Young was now entrusting her daughter Dianna’s lifelong happiness to Yuric Thatcher.
Jodie Young smiled and said, "Josephine, my Dianna has a cold personality, unlike other girls who are sweet and lovable. Please be more accommodating in the future."
Before Mrs. Thatcher could respond, President Thatcher waved his hand with a smile and said, "That’s precisely why I find Dianna’s untainted nature truly precious."
The Thatcher family was of literary heritage, and President and Mrs. Thatcher had sharp eyes. They imdiately took a fancy to Dianna.
In private, the couple used these four words to praise Dianna’s innate dignity.
President Thatcher’s words imdiately made Jodie Young smile. There isn’t a single mother who wouldn’t be happy knowing her daughter was valued and loved by her future in-laws.
"By the way, Dianna, let introduce you to soone. This is Cain Shaw!" Yuric Thatcher introduced Cain Shaw to Dianna.
Cain Shaw...
Upon hearing this na, Jodie Young’s face changed dramatically, and she imdiately looked over at Cain Shaw.
Cain Shaw’s gaze was fixated on Dianna. Perhaps he hadn’t realized it himself, but ever since Dianna appeared, he hadn’t taken his eyes off her.
Dianna looked up, her cool, bright eyes falling on Cain Shaw’s handso face.
She had noticed him the mont she entered.
He stood there in the center of the dazzling lights, tall and straight, towering above, impossible to ignore.
Three years have passed...
"Dianna, have you heard of Lord Shaw? He’s a legend in Starfall City, a powerful force. Oh, and he’s also my uncle, so you can call him Uncle," Yuric Thatcher said excitedly.
Jodie Young knew about the past between Cain Shaw and Dianna, though it wasn’t really the past, because it ended before it even began.
Encountering each other again at this birthday party caught Jodie Young off guard. Her daughter was now nad Dianna, not Tanya Sullivan, and she didn’t want any of her daughter’s past to be known by anyone, especially not the Thatcher family.
Jodie Young watched Cain Shaw and Dianna nervously, quickly saying, "Dianna, greet him, call him uncle!"
Jodie Young emphasized the word "uncle," reminding Dianna of Cain Shaw’s married status.
Dianna looked at Cain Shaw without any emotion, her delicate face as calm as if she were looking at a stranger. She spoke, "Hello, Uncle."
Cain Shaw also showed no emotion, his deep eyes like a cold pool, unreadable. "Hello, Miss Hollis."
Upon eting again, they were now strangers.
"Yuric, the birthday party is officially starting. Hurry up and invite Dianna to dance the first dance," Mrs. Thatcher urged.
Yuric Thatcher quickly adjusted his clothes, then bowed politely in front of Dianna, extending his hand, "Dianna, may I have this dance?"
Dianna hesitated for a few seconds, then placed her small hand in Yuric’s, "Okay."
Yuric led Dianna onto the dance floor.
Elegant and lodious music played in the background. Yuric held Dianna’s soft, boneless hand, his other hand gently placed on her slender waist. Though she had a cold nature, her body was extrely soft, epitomizing "ice muscle jade bone."
Yuric carried out these moves cautiously, uncertain if Dianna would be offended. Dianna knew his feelings, yet she constantly kept him at a distance.
Initially, Yuric was unsure if Dianna would accept his dance invitation, but he was pleasantly surprised when she agreed.
Now, doing these intimate gestures, Dianna seed neither to reject nor oppose them.
Tonight, Dianna stepped a little closer to him.
This made Yuric delighted, "Dianna, how about I drive you ho tonight?"
Dianna did not respond.
"Dianna, do you have ti tomorrow? I’d like to take you out for a al."
Dianna still didn’t respond.
Yuric felt a bit awkward, realizing that it seed like he was performing a monologue. He glanced at Dianna; the girl had her lashes lowered, quiet and beautiful like butterfly wings resting, yet it was unclear what she was thinking.
She seed... a little distracted.
Yuric changed the subject, "Dianna, are you afraid of my uncle? There’s no need to be. My uncle is a remarkable person. He already has a son, his son is three years old..."
Before Yuric could finish, Dianna suddenly lifted her head. Her cool, bright eyes fixed on his face, "He... has a son?"
Yuric always thought Dianna seed distracted, but when the topic turned to Cain Shaw, she appeared interested.
Yuric nodded, "Yes, my uncle and aunt are very much in love. They got pregnant in the first year of marriage and had a son."
