Already knowing the truth about her mother's absence, Diane was pained and disappointed. She couldn't believe that she would do something like that simply because she didn't want her and Christian together.
She felt her heart bleed even more when Christian noticed something off about her and approached them.
First glancing at her dad, he shifted his gaze to her and took her hands. "What is the matter? What made you upset?" He asked as his gaze softened.
At the same time, Brian approached them. "She is sad because our mother feigned being sick as an excuse to not be here today."
Hearing that, Christian quickly glanced at Diane again and already tears had formed in her eyes. "It's fine," he said, bringing her into his arms.
