Chapter 743 The Pricey Villa
1/5
Diana continued speaking to Lily softly. âI know how much you love your parents. Theyâre the ones in this world who care for you most, who forgive you unconditionally. Donât make them go through the pain of losing you.
âYou need to wake up soon. Your parents need you now more than ever. Mark is already working on their estate. Iâm telling you this because I want you to have a reason to keep fighting.
âNo matter what you went through that night, time will help you. let go of it all eventually.â
Diana watched as Lilyâs eyelids fluttered once more, but she still showed no signs of waking up.
Seeing it was time, she gave Lily a pill and then left the room.
Micah was scheduled for surgery today, and as she left, she noticed Tom wasnât around.
Diana headed directly from the hospital to the market. She bought some ribs, a whole chicken, and lots of vegetables. The market had no heating, and she shivered as the cold seeped through her.
Back in the car, she glanced in the rearview mirror to find her nose bright red, her hands stiff from the chill. She got herself a
of hot chocolate, and after a sip, she felt warmth spread

Looking down at the cup, she thought maybe it was the weather,
but this hot chocolate seemed especially comforting.
After a few sips, Diana started driving home, ready to make dinner.
Steven had messaged her, saying heâd be home for dinner tonight.
That meant she had to go out and buy groceries. Steven didnât like having servants around, so a lot of things fell on her shoulders.
Diana thought, âWhatâs with this weird quirk? Canât he use things other people have touched?â
A little annoyed, she let her mind wander on the drive back to the villa. When she pulled up to the house, she noticed a car she didnât recognize parked out front.
Not thinking much of it, she parked in the garage and gathered up the bags of groceries.
Despite the load, it didnât bother her at all.
As soon as she stepped inside, she heard Owenâs voice.
Steven rarely brought friends home, so hearing Owenâs voice surprised her.

âSteven, I never thought youâd move here. These villas are nearly impossible to buyâhow did you get one?â
Sitting on the couch, Steven gave him a calm look and replied, âBecause you didnât offer enough. I paid double.â
âDouble?!â Owen was stunned. âThat must have cost a few hundred million!â
Stevenâs expression remained steady. âYes.â
Owen sat there, dumbfounded.
He marveled at Stevenâs wealth.
Owen had wanted one of these villas himself, but they were never available.
Diana blinked at Stevenâs words, surprised that he had paid double just so they could live here together.
She thought to herself, âHeâs insane. If he has that much to spare, why not donate more to charity?â
She tossed her keys onto the entryway table with a loud clatter.
Seeing the bags in her hands, Steven quickly got up to help her.
Diana didnât refuse; the bags were heavy, and holding them for too long would get tiring.
She pointed to the kitchen and said, âJust take it all in there. Iâll

go change and be down to start dinner.â
Steven looked at her warmly. âAlright.â
4/5
Diana walked across the living room without greeting Owen. Both he and Yanson had always looked down on her, and theyâd insulted her for Queenieâs sake more than once before. With their spoiled attitudes, she didnât feel the need to play polite.
She didnât think they deserved it.
Watching her walk past without a word, Owen knew why Diana. ignored him.
He knew she likely despised him, considering he had never seen her as anything more than an annoyance. If it werenât for Steven, he mightâve said even harsher things.
After all, he had met Queenie first, and he was well aware of how much Steven had once cared for her.
Naturally, heâd been on Queenieâs side back then.
And he wasnât about to force any friendliness with Diana now.
When Steven returned, Owen got up and said, âIâd better head out.â
Steven stopped him. âHold on. Thereâs something I need to discuss.â
Owen slouched back into his seat with a lazy grin. âWhatâs up?â
