Chapter 727 Dark and Empty
âPlus, Iâm telling the truth! Queenie is truly exceptionalâ¦â
Steven shot him an icy glare, and Yanson quickly shut his mouth.
Only then did Steven leave with Evan.
Evan walked up to Yanson and patted his shoulder. âYanson, youâve got a real trash mouth!â
âWhat?â Yanson was stunned. She glared at Evan. âEvan, are you out of your mind? What are you so angry about?â

âYouâre the one whoâs out of your mind! Seriously messed up! Whatâs it to you if someone else is a hick? And you call yourself a playboy? Take a look at all the women youâve hurt. Instead of meddling in other peopleâs relationships, why donât you go and sweetâtalk your current girlfriend?â
âHey⦠whatâs gotten into you, dude?â
Yanson was irritated. This punk had changed so much in such a short time that he barely recognized him anymore.
Owen casually crossed his legs and whispered, âAlright, just let it go. Nobody can say a bad word about Diana now. If they do, heâll definitely bite back.â

Yansonâs interest was piqued as he looked at Owen, feeling fired up. âOwen, youâve been back for a few months now. Seems like I missed a lot while I was gone. Whatâs the scoop?â
Owen shook his head with a lazy smile, leaning back. âLetâs not get involved in other peopleâs drama. Letâs just drink.â
Yanson furrowed his brows, looking at the trending topics on his phone. âIs Queenie really pregnant?â
Owen shook his head. âNo idea.â
He usually loved gossip, but this piece of news was a bit too hot to handle.
Yanson shot him a cold glance. âFine, donât tell me. Iâll find the answers myself.â
Steven went straight to the parking lot with Evan, his mood at rock bottom.
In the past, whenever he went out for business dinners, Diana would call to remind him not to drink too much and to come. home early. Sheâd always have a pot of herbal soup waiting for him.
But it had been almost a year since Diana left, and now, when he went out in the evenings, no one called to check on him.
anymore.
He took a deep breath and leaned back in his seat. âLetâs go home.â

Evan glanced at him through the rearview mirror but stayed quiet as he drove.
Forty minutes later, they arrived.
Steven stared at the dark mansion, his eyes filled with melancholy.
He told Evan, âYou can head home now.â
3/5
Evan had never seen Steven this down before, but he kept quiet, knowing what was going through his bossâ mind.
He was lonely now. Back when Diana loved him, she wouldâve been waiting up at this hour.
She wouldâve had hot herbal soup ready for him, but now the mansion was pitch black, making Steven feel even more empty inside.
Evan understood Stevenâs sadness and decided to twist the knife with a grin. âOh! Ms. Bishop must be asleep by now. Back then, whenever Iâd drop you off, sheâd always make me a bowl of her special health soup. I slept like a baby after drinking that.â
With that, he dashed off.
Steven rolled his eyes.
He knew Evan was doing this on purpose.

After watching Evan leave, he took a deep breath and walked toward the mansionâs entrance.
4/5
Though heâd already given up hope, disappointment still hit him when he pushed open the door.
The living room was dark and empty â no Diana, not even a light left on for him.
He went straight upstairs to the dressing room to change.
Passing by the laundry area, he noticed his pile of dirty clothes had vanished.
Looking up, he found them all neatly hung in the closet.
His heart, heavy with sadness just moments ago, suddenly flooded with joy.
Gazing out the window, he remembered Diana pushing him through the snowy grounds for a walk. The snowy scene that night had been pictureâperfect.
The smile in her eyes had been so genuine, so full of love!
Smiling to himself, he changed and headed for the bathroom to
shower.
After drying his hair, he walked without hesitation to Dianaâs room next door.
