Chapter 103
Having said that, Kate pointed out the earrings to Diana. “They do look like the ones you gave me, so it was clearly fate that you two met.”
It was much more than a similar resemblance.
Diana could remember anything her grandmother gave her. Even though she didn’t know the exact value, she could remember every detail of the item.
The ones on Lyra’s ears were clearly the same ones she had left at the lake.
“Since it’s fate, how about we have a drink together?” Kayla suggested happily.
Kate immediately called for wine to be brought over and poured a glass for Diana, Kayla, and Lyra. “Yes, that’s right. This is the first time you sisters have officially met, and Lyra came to congratulate me on my birthday. I’m so happy to see all three of you here, so let’s have a toast!”
Lyra and Kayla hurriedly took their glasses.
“Thank you, Mrs. Winnington.”
“Thank you, Mom!”
Diana refused to take a glass as she was pregnant. “I can’t drink.”
“Why are you always such a spoilsport? You always refuse me when I’m happy about something!” Kate was obviously a little upset, and even Kayla’s face twisted slightly.
However, it all didn’t matter now because Diana refused to drink.
Kayla started to get more anxious as time passed. “Diana, you refused to participate in the speech and mingle with the guests. Now, you won’t even toast to Mom. Aren’t you being a little too selfish? It’s her birthday!”
Lyra followed suit. “Don’t worry, Kayla. Diana grew up in the boonies, so no one taught her how to behave in settings like these. Right, Diana?”
Seeing how enthusiastic they were about getting her to drink, Diana’s vigilance intensified. Even if she wasn’t pregnant, she definitely wouldn’t drink the wine. She refused even more firmly, saying, “My wound from two days ago hasn’t healed yet, and the doctor forbade me from drinking alcohol.”
This served as a reminder to Kate, who finally remembered that Diana had been kidnapped and injured. According to Kayla, Diana suffered much that day. Her heart ached slightly for Diana, and she called someone to switch the wine with juice.
“Never mind,” Kate said, glancing at the two girls. “Diana’s not feeling well, so she can drink this instead.“
