Chapter 67
It had to admit that at some point Diana Swift was a woman who knew the current affairs very well, and she still felt guilty and wanted to make up for him. So when she faced Josh Hunter now, she seemed extraordinarily well-behaved.
The shutters in the office slowly fell, and the light changed from strong white light to a soft warm yellow, and the light and shadow were dim.
In the silence, there was a rustling sound of clothes and documents falling on the ground together.
Probably Diana worried that someone outside would hear what they were doing, so she didn't dare to make any sound from beginning to end, but she still made the muffled sound.
In fact, Diana didn't need to worry about that. As the New Year was approaching, the employees were basically on vacation. There were very few people in the headquarters of Lux Hotel Group and even fewer people in the top-level CEO's office. In addition, Josh had pressed the "Do Not Disturb" button, so no one dared to get closer to the office.
But thing was, Diana already entered the office for hours, those chief assistants on the opposite were confused and didn't know what should do, they were so embarrassed.
When someone called and said that there was a document in urgent need of Mr. Hunter's approval and sign the document, they only replied "Mr. Hunter is busy", and at the same time they couldn't only imagine what their boss was doing, which made thing become even more embarrassing.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Josh called the inside line and calmly informed them to get off work.
They were eager to disappear quickly, and they packed their stuff in hurry.
Diana kept ensuring that no one was outside, only then did she dare to put on her sunglasses and follow behind Josh and walked out in small steps, and the way she walked was weird.
Maybe it was because they already had sex, and when they went home at night, Josh did not do it again. Diana could sleep in his arms soundly.
The next day was New Year's Eve, and it was rare that it wasn't snowing anymore.
Diana and Josh got up early to go to the mansion of the Swift family.
At noon, they stayed at the house of the Swift family for a reunion dinner. During the dinner, Edward Swift, Diana's uncle, revisited the old story and started to tell them that they should have a child after three years that they married.
"Uncle Edward, I'm only twenty-five, you don't have to worry about me. There are many girls at my age who haven't married yet, and are still in graduate school looking for jobs." Diana put down her chopsticks and acted like a spoiled child.
But Edward Swift already knew that she would act like this and he got the idea to deal with it, "You are not Twenty-five anymore, and you will be twenty-six when this year is over. And you haven't gone for a further study nor looked for a job. At least those girls have achieved one of these. Besides, having a baby will not affect any of it. Carl, just tells her, are there quite a few girls in your school who get married and have children while studying for graduate school?"
Carl Swift was Diana's elder cousin. He worked in a well-known university and has made great achievements in academic research. In his early thirties, he was awarded the title of associate professor.
He smiled and replied, "There are quite a lot, not to mention graduate students, there are quite a lot of undergraduates. Last year, a junior wanted me as her tutor. This girl is smart and well-behaved and thought that if she could be a graduate student then she could work in my laboratory. But I never thought that she would get pregnant before she finished her junior year."
Edward was satisfied with what he said after listening to it, and then looked at Diana and wanted her to know the truth.
Immediately afterward, Sheldon Swift, Kelly Swift and Hedy Swift, and all the cousins all looked at her in agreement.
Diana was eating soup, but she was so nervous right now.
Fortunately, Josh Hunter spoke for her, "Diana is still young, we can make preparations and recuperate our body first, and we will not be in a hurry to have children in a year or two."
After saying so, he toasted to everyone at present.
Since Josh had said so, anyone else could not say anything. After all, there was no way to force Diana to get pregnant.
They had a hard time finishing dinner at the Swift family and arrived at Luxury Bridge in the evening. The elders of the Hunter family also asked the same questions as the elders of the Swift family asked. It was not long for they arrived at the house, they had started to say something related to the children's things, and if they both didn't answer, they would ask them directly.
However, it was much easier for Diana stayed with the Hunter family because Renee Hunter was home in time for the Chinese New Year. She, who was in her middle age and didn't marry, most of them focus on asking her and it helped Diana a lot.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the night had come, and the TV was on, the advertisement was full of joy, and the main house of the pavilion of the Hunter family was also full of laughter. The youngsters all ran out of the alley to carry fireworks from the trunk of their cars after they finished eating. On the way back, they also compared with each other whose fireworks were more up-to-date and advanced.
Diana and Josh were talking to the elders inside the house. And Diana said that she had eaten a lot at night, and Josh took her out for a walk.
The elders all teased them. Diana didn't mind what they said, she even felt happy. After pouting with the elders, she got up and held Josh out.
It was cold on P City's winter night, they could exhale their breath. They walked along the narrow old alley.
In fact, the house of the Swift family used to be located live in this alley, but when Diana was in high school, they moved away. Twenty years have passed, and this alley seemed to be the same, everything hadn't changed.
When Diana Swift saw the wire pole at the entrance of the alley, she suddenly pointed at it and said, "Do you remember it?"
Josh just looked at her.
"When I was young, my classmates and I used to jump on the rubber band here. The rubber band can be detached, so we often fixed one side to the pole."
"Then one time after we split up the group, we still need a person to hold the rubber band, and you just came back from school, so I asked you to do me a favor."
"But you were particularly indifferent at that time! You just glanced at me and did not say anything, and then you just went home. I was so angry at the time! I scolded you with my classmates for a long time!"
"Really?" Josh thought for a while and replied seriously, "I don't remember. "
Diana rolled her eyes and knew that he must not remember so many things.
She took this opportunity to blame what Josh did in the past.
Josh listened to her carefully but was quiet because he really didn't remember what Diana said.
In the first two years of his arrival at Luxury Bridge, he was still not accepted that Jacob George had a daughter and he had a sister. Even when he heard his classmates call his name in school, he would tell himself in his heart: My name is not Josh Hunter, my name is Josh George.
The teacher gently asked him his name, he would write Josh George after the registration form without hesitation.
Although he didn't remember what Diana said, it was because he didn't trust or care about the world at that time, and he probably couldn't believe in Diana Swift.
But when he heard what Diana when they were children, Josh Hunter suddenly remembered what Nathan Jones said before.
He said, "Do you remember when you first arrived at the Luxury Bridge when you were a child, Diana liked you so much. She always comes to you with snacks."
"Dude, don't you remember? At that time, Rein always said that you don't like Diana and said that she already didn't like Toby Hunter anymore."
Josh turned his head," Nathan told me that when I was a child when I first arrived at the Luxury Bridge, you liked me so much."
Diana, who was still talking, suddenly stop, "I did, but it was because you are handsome." Diana Swift didn't deny it but explained carefully.
"Am I ugly now?"
Diana was shocked at what he asked.
"Of course not."
Diana never hesitated to praise Josh Hunter's appearance, after all, he did a handsome man. Even the time they just got married, they always fought, but in the end, she would say, "For the sake of your face, I will let this thing over."
Josh Hunter seemed to smile, and said again, "What about now?"
Diana Swift was speechless.
They had already walked to the pole at the entrance of the alley. Diana pursed her lips tightly, and her heart was beating so fast, but she just didn't answer.
The cold wind was blowing at the entrance of the alley, the street lights were shattered, reflecting the snowflakes that suddenly fell in the middle of the night, and the childish faces of the children across the street who were laughing and chasing with fireworks sticks.
When Diana was struggling with how to answer, Josh suddenly hugged her from behind, wrapped her whole body into his coat, and wrapped his arms around her from behind. His lips were pressed against her ears, cold and wet, with a bit of itchiness.
Diana was blushing and she had avoided him.
It seemed that something was changed between them.
She had always told herself not to think too much, and she was afraid that it was because she liked him, then she would be blind by her feelings; the second was, she was afraid that he would let her down.
But now she could clearly feel that it wasn't like she was thinking too much.
She said slowly, "You need to answer me first."
"What?"
"Do you have a crush on me?" She hurriedly explained to herself after she spoke out, "I am not thinking too much, it is just that you have been nice to me lately. You can't blame me if you are not. Because what you did make me misunderstood. For example, because I came back from Paris early, you bought me a lot of things...."
Josh Hunter smiled, "Did you just realize it?"
