Chapter 1427


    Jim said patiently, “Go and take a look.”


    He sounded as if he was smiling widely.


    Diana put down the handset. She put the receiver facing up, so that she could call for help with


    anything she needed.


    She wanted Jim to hear what was happening, to prove that she wasn’t deliberately keeping silent.


    When she opened the door, she saw many clothes bags hanging on a rack, like presents waiting for


    Diana’s selection.


    Next up was a meal trolley. It was piled with food; the first thing she saw was fresh caviar and birds’


    nests.


    Diana could smell their delicious aroma. Unfortunately, she didn’t have much appetite right now. She


    didn’t even have the appetite for durians, which she used to crave so much.


    All she wanted was to see James Winnington again. There were some things that he needed to tell her,


    so she could find clues to progress to the next step.


    “Mr. Hughes,” Diana said, lifting her hand as a sign for the server to shift the things away. She didn’t


    need them.


    She also told Jim, “In the future, please don’t go to such an extent for me. I’m getting fatter, and I really


    don’t want to eat anything sweet. I’m also not hungry at such ate hour, and I shouldn’t be eating


    something as rich as caviar.”


    Jim probably did it out of the kindness of his heart. He was simply showing concern for a pregnantdy.


    Diana wondered if saying that would hurt him.


    As she expected, Jim sounded angry. “You might not be hungry, but your babies need the nutrients.”


    His words stunned Diana. Why did it sound so familiar…?


    He sounded just like a mother-inw who cared only for her grandson, and not her daughter-inw…


    As if a pregnantdy was just a vessel with the aim of giving birth to babies.


    Anything could be sacrificed for the sake of the baby.


    However, such unbridled greed, binge-eating, and physical strain on the body waspletely


    unnecessary.


    Diana was determined to maintain her figure during this pregnancy. Julian had agreed to it, too.


    What’s more, Jim was a top-notch researcher in the medical field. He couldn’t possibly not know that a


    fetus was but a high-level parasite.


    No matter what happened to a mother’s body, it would absorb nutrients from the mother’s body for the


    sake of survival. As long as there was no difort with the pregnancy, nothing would go wrong, even


    if the pregnant mother went hungry.


    Conversely, if the nutrient intake of the pregnant mother was too high, her body wouldn’t be able to


    absorb them all after the fetus had its fill. It would then all end up at fat umted on the mother’s


    body.


    Jim’s words upset Diana.

    “Mr. Hughes, I am the babies’ mother. I don’t think they need me to eat so much to keep them alive.”


    It was already sote. She just had a meal outside, and couldn’t possibly keep eating. She wasn’t a


    pig, for goodness’ sake!


    As for the clothes…


    “Also, I’m here on a holiday. Of course I’d bring my own clothes. I don’t need you to go to this extent for


    me, Mr. Hughes.”


    Diana decided to make herself clear. “Actually, all the attention you’re giving me during my pregnancy


    is causing me mental stress.”


    “You don’t need to be stressed,” Jim said very naturally, “I’m doing this for the sake of your babies, not


    for you.”


    Diana sighed. She really didn’t know how tomunicate with Jim anymore.


    He probably said that in order to make her feel less pressured.
