Chapter 498: Chapter 496: UNEXPECTED CALL

The next day, Diamond woke up early despite sleeping late, went to the gym with the two friends from next door, returned to her suite for a wash and changed into some warm clothes.

She was waiting for the moment the two guys were going to call her. They were supposed to go and have breakfast together outside that morning.

Since it was going to take a while, Diamond slept on the bed as she played with her phone and checked the messages.

As she was doing so, a string of numbers suddenly appeared on the screen, interrupting her browsing session.

Looking at the code of the number, Diamond frowned as she wondered who this person was.

She barely gave her number to other people, so who might be calling her?

Nonetheless, she didn’t instruct Andrea to look at the caller like she always does.

Thinking of having some faith in human beings, she swiped the screen and put it on speaker as she answered, "Hello!"

A female voice sounded on the other side, [Hello, is this Diamond?]

Diamond frowned once again as she heard that. This person truly wanted her, but who was she?

Her voice sounded more mature. There was this tinge in the voice that just made her imagine someone older, roughly around her mother’s age or above.

If that person was young, then she would need some throat medicine and deal with whatever voice issue she was having.

"Yes, this is me. Who is this?" she asked, curiosity written all over her face.

[Thank goodness it’s you. It’s me, Grace. We met on the plane to Iwarim the other time. Do you remember me?] the woman enthusiastically replied, giving more details regarding her identity.

Upon hearing that, Diamond’s mind began to overwork overtime, trying to recall who this Grace was.

{Mother, it’s that lady who wanted you to become her son’s girlfriend at the airport?} Andrea, seeing that his mother wasn’t getting the idea pretty soon, decided to lend a hand.

Diamond’s eyes lit up when she heard that she couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, "Lady Grace, it’s you?"

Honestly, she wasn’t expecting the lady to contact her. Back then, when she gave her the number and told her that she had boyfriends, despite Grace’s continuous persuasion, she thought that she would never call.

After all, which mother in the right state of mind would push her son towards a woman who would let her son compete with others?

Mothers can accept their sons having more wives, but being one of the husbands, wasn’t something that they would accept.

They would fight with everything that they have to make sure that such things don’t happen.

That was the reason why she gave Grace her number. After that, she nearly forgot that she once did something like that.

Even if the mother agrees, was the son a fool to accept such kind of arrangement?

She didn’t think so.

Knowing that it was Grace, Diamond became very excited, as she was curious and anticipating the reason why the older lady called.

[It’s me, indeed. Hehe, I thought that you had forgotten me?]

Diamond eyes squinted when Lady Grace said that she couldn’t help but chuckle faintly as she answered, "Hehe, I almost did. Who made it hard for you to call? I thought that you threw away my number on that day!" her tone very teasing, as she brushed away her embarrassment of nearly forgetting the other.

Lady Grace burst into a hearty laughter upon hearing that. Diamond smiled wryly as she waited for her to calm down.

After a while, Lady Grace responded, [I have never forgotten you. Since I liked you at first sight and wanted you as my daughter-in-law. I cannot forget you.]

Upon hearing that, Diamond’s lips twitched as she realized that Lady Grace was still true to her original intentions, even after all this time. Didn’t she forget?

"Hehe, you were really serious?"

[I never joke. I have been busy with my son. Been trying to put sense into his head. You know as mothers, sometimes we need to give our children a push.]

Diamond rubbed her face as she stifled her laughter at how overbearing Lady Grace was. She could picture the conversation between mother and son, and that picture was simply hilarious. She just wanted to laugh.

"This ..... won’t your son hate you for doing so?"

[Hehe, he dares? This lady is simply doing what’s best for him.]

Diamond’s brows arched as a smile blossomed on her face. She really liked what the other had just said right now.

"Hehe, what makes you think that I am best for him? Lady Grace, I am not a good person. And last time I told you that I have boyfriends and will continue having more. Are you sure that you want to send your son to someone like me? What if he sees me in person and doesn’t like me? What if I see him and I don’t like him?" although Diamond was happy with how eloquent Lady Grace was, and how the other looked at her, she couldn’t be blinded by all that.

The harsh slap of reality was too painful to experience it firsthand.

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while before a response came. [Child. Do you know what I liked about you apart from your beauty and demeanor?] freёnovelkiss.com

Diamond frowned when she heard that she didn’t have the answer to that question and it bothered her.

"No, I don’t!" could it be money? She couldn’t help but wonder.

But Lady Grace was rich. There was no way that she was aiming for her money when she didn’t even know how rich she was, right?

[It’s your honesty. You were very direct from the beginning and didn’t play with your words. Such honesty is very rare nowadays. My son is a bit naïve when it comes to relationships. He spends more time buried in his studies and work. Because of that, when he finds someone to date, he gets fooled easily.

He gets in too deep and at the end of the day, he gets hurt badly. As a mother, I don’t want my son to suffer like that. He is busy most of the time, so finding him someone who will also be busy and at the same time, helps put pressure on him to concentrate on other things as well. That person is you.]
