The ladies found Diana incredibly beautiful.
No wonder their professor was spending so much effort on a pregnant woman!
“Over the years, the professor has never given anyone food he made himself,” the woman said, trying their best to
portray Jim in the best light possible. “There are herbs in them, so the taste is extra special.
“They taste good, and are good for your health. Whenever you get hungry at night, feel free to take them to fill
your stomach.”
No wonder Diana felt like the buns smelled special. Even the strong stench of the durians couldn’t mask that special
scent.
“Okay,” Diana said with a smile. She turned her attention to a huge gift box on the floor. “What is that?”
“Birds’ nests and bedsheets.”
The maids nodded at Diana as they spoke. With Diana’s permission, they entered the room to move everything

“These things are heavy. Please don’t touch them.”
They rolled up their sleeves and grabbed brushes and disinfectant liquid. One of them handed Diana a room card.
“We’ve cleaned the two rooms next door. Professor Hughes might go into the room on the right to relax and drink
some tea. He won’t go into the room on the left. You can go in there anytime to rest.”
That was exactly what Diana could do right now. It would make it easier for them to clean her room.
Diana wasn’t a clean freak; she felt the room was fine, so long as it wasn’t dirty or messy. There was no need to go
to the extent of ensuring that even the under sink pipes were clear of hair.
What’s more…
“My daughter is still in the bathroom.”
Diana began to understand why some of them gave way to her when she brought Betty back to the hotel just now.
They had recognized her long ago.
This was a thorough demonstration of Jim’s thoughtfulness as a host.
Diana figured that whatever Jim was thinking, as long as she insisted he was merely doing his part as a host, their
relationship would remain strictly as friends.
When Jim visited Richburgh, she and Julian would extend ten times the hospitality that Jim was currently giving her.
Such debts could definitely be repaid, as long as she had the heart to do so.
“There’s no need to clean my room,” she told the maids.
The daily housekeeping was enough. Diana didn’t like having so many people invading her privacy, anyway. The
reason she wasn’t angry at them for jumping on her balcony was because of all the gifts Jim was giving her.
“Please leave,” Diana said, opening her door. She kept the room cards with her. “Tell Professor Hughes that I’ll visit
him tomorrow.”
If she didn’t say that, she was afraid these people might refuse to leave her room.
As she had expected, the moment they heard that Diana would visit Jim, all of them looked relieved.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDiana found it slightly baffling. She stopped one of the maids to ask, “Is Professor Hughes unfriendly?”
“Huh?” She didn’t give Diana a direct response.
She simply looked at Diana, shocked. It was only when she realized who Diana was that she finally snapped back to
attention, and said, “Professor Hughes is a very nice man.”
It was an answer Diana expected.
Diana was relieved.
“I saw how all of you looked so nervous at the mention of his name, so I thought he was mistreating you.” She
sighed in relief. “But Jim is such a nice man! He can’t possibly mistreat you.”
The maid smiled, not saying anything.
It was only when she turned around that the smile on her face vanished, replaced with a look of melancholy.
Thankfully, she didn’t say anything wrong just now. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of taking a
black pill once she returned to the Hughes residence.
She didn’t want that. Everyone who took that black pill ended up in a terrible plight.
Every one of them signed an agreement before working for the Hughes household. That agreement wasn’t for
maids or bodyguards, but rather, for people trialing drugs.
