Wyatt, however, wasn’t smiling.
He didn’t know what kind of dirty games Razor was playing there, but that was dangerous.
Although Diamond had kept her distance and didn’t bother going anywhere near Razor, what if that car had overturned and somehow implicated Diamond?
What would she have done?
She had just started racing a few hours ago. She wasn’t that proficient in dealing with such madness. If she had been hurt, how could he face her family or Diamond herself?
The more he thought about all sorts of things which could have gone wrong, he regretted inviting her to the event.
If he hadn’t invited her, she wouldn’t have ended up agreeing to join the club and be targeted like that.
Although she ended up winning and no one was hurt, Wyatt still didn’t feel at ease despite her teasing remarks.
Feeling angry with himself and at Diamond, he gritted his teeth and walked toward her, ignoring the other people who were congratulating her.
Without saying a word to anyone, he grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the others.
"Hey, Wyatt! What are you doing?"
"Don’t you dare do anything stupid there!"
"Wyatt!"
His friends started calling out to him, their voices laced with worry and warning.
However, he didn’t bother to listen to them at this point. He just wanted to bring her somewhere far where he could speak some sense in her.

Diamond, on the other hand, was grinning like an idiot inwardly despite the painful grip Wyatt had on her.
’Hehe. His feelings for me should be so deep!’ she couldn’t help but feel jittery at the thought of that.
She could see that he was very angry. If she wasn’t a woman, he might have given her a blow.
Honestly, she was happy seeing him like that. While others were happy and congratulating her, he was the only one filled with worry about what might have transpired on the track if that situation occurred.
In her eyes, that was sincerity. He was very sincere to her, and that feeling was touching.
She didn’t feel that she invested in him for nothing.
So, what if he berates her for a moment?
It has been a long time since anyone berated her.
****
Wyatt brought Diamond to a secluded corner, and none of his friends followed him.
Seeing that it was just the two of them, he stopped and turned around to face her. When he saw her expression, he nearly exploded on the spot, but he calmed himself down.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening them.
He looked at Diamond, who had adjusted her expression and no longer looked like someone seeking a beating.
"You .... Let us not race again, in the future, okay?" he wanted to berate her badly, but as he looked into her eyes, he found himself pleading and saying those words.
So, what if he berates her? Could he stop her from doing what she feels like doing?
Even if he berates her, she is an adult. He was just her friend, so how could he stop her from doing it when he was doing it as well?
