Page 289 of In Love with a Cruel Billionaire

Shit. Oh, shit. Diana fought hard to keep herself from blushing as she tried to bluff her way out, asking innocently, "What about it?"

"Uh huh."

"I just wanted to try wearing black.That's all."

"Sure it is." Mairi's tone was sly.

"I'm not kidding—-"

Her sister-in-law waved her words away, asking eagerly instead, "Who is he?"

"I really don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, come on. I'm just really excited that you've finally found a guy you like."

Diana made a show of checking the time. "I'm going to be late."

"Spoilsport," Mairi grumbled. "But because I'm a nice person, I promise I'll keep your secret—-"

"Goodbye, Mairi."

"And don't worry, I'll make sure to take care of Damen, too."

She was about to end the call when she realized too late what her sister-in-law meant to do. "Mairi—-"

"Talk to you next week, Di!"

"No, wait—-"

But the screen had already turned black, and Diana bit back a groan. While Mairi always meant well, she also always ended up having her best-laid plans backfire.Which means, Diana thought uneasily, Mairi taking care of Diana's brother would most likely end up the opposite and have Damen banging on her front door and thinking the worst.

Diana took a deep breath.

Isaiah 26:3, Isaiah 26:3, Isaiah 26:3.

Mairi might be a walking trouble magnet, but even she couldn't get in the way of the Lord.Right?
