Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 382
Diana now had a bright smile on her face.
“Come on. I’ll buy you dinner tonight.”
Oliver didn’t refuse.
Diana needed support from the people around her now, and to do things to distract herself from the sadness.
The two chatted as they walked.
“Where’s Julian? Why isn’t he here with
“What do you mean that you and Fanny are siblings?”
Diana and Oliver spoke at the same time. Then they exchanged glances, smiling in amusement.
“You go ahead.”
“You go ahead.”
They seemed to speak at the same time again, and Oliver took the initiative to say, “It’s exactly what I meant. You
mistook us for a couple last time, and I didn’t explain. But now…”
Diana was now divorced. ”
Oliver couldn’t deny his heart, and wanted to get closer to her. However, he didn’t mention his feelings. Now wasn’t
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe time right. He would scare her away if he did, and they probably couldn’t even be friends once that happened…
There was plenty of time in the future anyway, and he wasn’t in a hurry to let her know his feelings.
Oliver met her eyes and admitted sincerely, “I didn’t want to hide the truth from you.”
At this moment, Diana was keenly aware of what was going on. A flash of embarrassment and suspicion flashed in
her eyes, but she remained calm and said jokingly, “It seems you really do consider me a friend now. You didn’t feel
the need to tell me the truth before this, after all.”
Oliver smiled brightly, and his expression reminded her of spring.
“You’re right about all that.”
He was already happy that he could stand beside her like this.
“What about you? Was Julian so willing to get a divorce just like that?”
Diana found his comment a little strange but also awkward at the same time. It was as if he was trying to peel away
the cover to the surface of her happiness.
“Yes, he was willing.”
After all, the woman he loved wasn’t her.
She thought about the pictures Kayla had sent her, and her lips curled into a sneer. “He’s been bringing up divorce
for a long time, but there was a delay because of pregnancy, and it didn’t happen till now.”
Oliver saw the loss and pain in her eyes, and he chose to say nothing and didn’t comment on it.
He simply pretended they hadn’t touched such a heavy topic and said, “Let’s take my car.”
Walking out of the cemetery and to his car, Oliver naturally pulled open the passenger door for Diana and waited
for her to get into the vehicle.
Diana paused for a moment before pulling open the back door instead. “I’ll sit here.”
The distance would make her feel more comfortable.
Oliver smiled and closed the passenger seat door, then went to the trunk and pulled out a bolster.
“Here, for your lower back.”
A woman who had just suffered a miscarriage should be mindful of such issues, and he was being very thoughtful.
However, it confused Diana.
“When did you prepare this?”
“Today,” Oliver said. “When I left the hospital to buy some flowers for the babies.”
He wanted to always be prepared, in case he met her.
Fearing such words would pressure her, Oliver added, “My colleague in the hospital has also just miscarried, and I
heard about it. I thought of helping her by bringing this for her, but I met you first, so I brought it out for you to
use.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe pressure on Diana’s heart disappeared instantly.
She breathed a sigh of relief. “I thought you bought it especially for me.”
If he had done so, she would need to consider if Oliver really had a crush on her.
But now, after hearing his reason, she sighed deeply at herself for being too self–absorbed. It was just like last time,
when she mistakenly thought he was in a relationship with Fanny.
How could someone like Doctor Channing, who didn’t lack anything in life and was so good–looking, be interested in
a divorced woman like her?
“I was being too self–absorbed, sorry.”
Oliver was also smart and already knew something wasn’t right. When he heard her words, he knew she was
speculating about feelings that went beyond friendship.
However, he didn’t point it out because her movements were more relaxed and natural now, which proved that she
was comfortable with friendship. Not doing anything special for her made her more at ease.
He was glad he lied about the bolster.
Diana pulled out her phone to browse for food recommendations, but still had little appetite after scrolling for a
while.
She looked up with her beautiful eyes and asked quietly, “What do you want to eat, Doctor Channing?”
