Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 417

Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 417

Diana wasn’t ready to accept someone else in her heart.

Especially one as familiar as Oliver.

“You and Fanny…?”

“We’re really only siblings,” Oliver repeated helplessly. “Should I show you pictures of us in diapers together to prove it?”

Diana hurriedly waved her hands. “N–No! That’s not what I meant!”

Rather, she just instinctively felt that there was something between them. But now, it seemed that she was wrong again.

After all, Julian had been by her side for three years, and she had been under the mistaken impression that he loved her. In the end, she was only a substitute for someone else. Besides, she had only met Fanny recently, so it was normal for her to have misjudged.

Seeing that Diana was a little lost in thought, Oliver didn’t press the topic and said, “I’ll be waiting for you to contact me.”

After he said that, the car door was pulled open, and Fanny climbed in.

At night after returning to the hospital, Diana lay down to rest as soon as she reached her room.

After a long day, she was tired. She fell asleep without much thought, but woke up early in the morning.

She wanted to continue sleeping, but couldn’t fall back asleep.

Diana raised her hand to study it, recalling the slap she had given Julian yesterday at the mall. Without thinking too much, she picked up her phone and searched for news related to Fulcher Inc.

Luckily, there was no word of what happened in SK Mall.

It seemed Oliver had handled the aftermath well.

Diana relaxed a little, and once again thanked Oliver for his thoughtfulness and consideration.

Yet, what he had said in the car yesterday….

Diana put down the phone, closed her eyes, and thought about it, then felt uncomfortable again.

Diana had given him a hard slap without holding back her strength, and Julian’s skin was a bright red. After a night of not getting it treated and smoking, his cheeks were now swollen.

The cigarette in his hand still burned, and the ashes fluttered as his hand trembled.

Julian dragged his eyes away from the photos, revealing reddened eyes that grew paler the longer he stared at the photos. Finally, he muttered, “I’m fine.”

Putting out the cigarette, Julian got up and walked to the bathroom, where he quickly washed his face.

He had lost an alarming amount of weight in the past few days.

Noel stood in the doorway and noticed that Julian’s shirt fell somewhat loosely around him, and his jawline looked much sharper and more defined.

Julian used to care so much about his surroundings, but right now, it was the complete opposite. He didn’t even notice the soot that rubbed against the soles of his shoes.

Noel saw the pictures on the couch and moved to put them away, but Julian stopped him with a look, ordering, “Leave them.”

Although it was hard to look at the photos every time, every picture of Diana was of her smiling.
