Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420

Things with Oliver had been a little awkward lately, so wouldn't it be better to call Fanny?

Anyway, Fanny was Diana's investor now. If anything happened to her, Fanny's money would be affected.

"Location?"

Diana ended up calling Fanny and explained her situation briefly. Still, she didn't expect the latter's response to be so quick. There wasn't even a trace of doubt, and Fanny immediately asked for Diana's location.

"I'll send someone over."

Diana didn't think too much about it and checked her location on her phone before replying, "33, Hawkins Road."

"Got it. I have a shoot now, so I'll be hanging up."

Even though Fanny had been brief and to the point, it lifted the burden on Diana's shoulders. She quickly asked the driver to stop by the side of the road, and quietly waited for the person Fanny had arranged to come.

She never expected it to be Oliver.

From a distance, she saw the figure of Oliver in a white lab coat approaching her.

Diana was stunned. "Why are you here?"

For half a month, she had been busy with studio work and had avoided contact with him. She was surprised to see the person Fanny had sent was him.

The sweat on Oliver's forehead was obvious. When he heard Diana's words, disappointment flashed in his eyes for a brief moment before it was gone as he said, "You don't want to see me?"

"No, that's not it!" Diana said, shaking her head hurriedly.

She just...

Hadn't figured out how to reject him yet.

"It's cold," Oliver said, looking up at the sky as if he hadn’t seen her hesitation. He handed her the jacket in his hand. "Put this on."

It was a men's long jacket, and it was black in color. When Diana put it on, it immediately wrapped her petite figure firmly, only revealing her bright, stunning, dainty face; the ensemble served to make her look more charming, more than her usual attire.

There were already many scrutinizing gazes around them.

Oliver looked nervous. "You've been in the limelight lately, and it can't be helped that there are a lot of eyes on you."

He reached out and gently tugged Diana's wrist, taking her toward his parked car. "If you have a bad feeling again, make sure to call promptly like you did today, okay?"

"Maybe..." Diana lowered her head in embarrassment, not quite moving along with him. "Maybe I was just being paranoid. They're all looking at your white lab coat and this black jacket on me..."

It was only then that Oliver realized that there was something wrong with what he was wearing.

it seemed they were approaching dubious topics again.

Diana didn't like the ambiguity, so she spoke up decisively, "Oliver..."

But then, she hesitated again.

"Yeah?" Oliver responded. "Go ahead."

Just as Diana was about to reject him formally and clear up the air between them, a car came right at her.

"Watch out!" Oliver exclaimed as he yanked Diana protectively toward the sidewalk.

Diana was safe, but Oliver suffered a slight graze.

She grew anxious upon seeing that he was injured.

"Let me see your injury!"

She fussed over Oliver in the men's coat she was wearing, anxiously circling around him.

Just then, the same feeling of being watched suddenly became known again. It had a strangely penetrating power; a gaze that could see through someone all the way, and it made Diana's heart jump wildly in her chest.

She was so spooked, she stopped checking Oliver's injuries and frantically glanced around to find the source of that feeling.
