Chapter 1240

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1240 Fanny felt uncomfortable under Oliver’s glare.

She pushed him lightly. Out of spite, she grabbed his phone.

“I’ll help you call him back.”

There was no need for him to glare at her like that.

Fanny didn’t want to give him. She did love him, but it didn’t mean that she accepted his behavior-especially when it involved another woman.

She wasn’t so desperate to the point of being unable to live without him.

Oliver held her hand down.

“My anger just now had nothing to do with Diana, but everything to do with your attitude,” Oliver said. He looked straight into her eyes, as if wanting to see through her.” Fanny, there’s no need for you to get sensitive every time you hear Diana’s name.”

She was a good woman in her own right. Why did she have to live in Diana’s shadow?

In fact, the two of them were rarely associated with each other. Aside from the dividends issued by the studio, they were practically strangers.

Fanny burst out laughing.

Oliver was being overly serious.

“I got it,” Fanny said, grateful that he clarified himself right at the moment of conflict.

It was the same a year ago, when she asked for a divorce. He explained himself immediately, and said that he no longer loved Diana. He wanted her to tell him if he did anything wrong, or made her upset. He would correct himself immediately.

In other words, he wanted this marriage to continue on.

After that, Fanny remained emotional for a long time.

She was so happy, she couldn’t sleep the entire night. She had loved him for so long; and now, he was finally willing to look at her.

On the second day, she told him that she was willing to continue their marriage.

Since Oliver was willing to turn back, what reason did she have to give up on their marriage?

This went on for another year.

Up until the past few days, Fanny was still happy with things between them. She had made the right decision to give up acting and transit to working behind the scenes. The peaceful and harmonious married life she currently enjoyed was what she wanted.

She didn’t have a happy childhood. Despite being adopted by the Channings, she suffered living under someone else’s roof. It was only until she got married to Oliver that she felt completely accepted by the Channings.

Everything was going great.

As usual, she drove to Oliver’s workplace after finishing up her work to wait for him.

Things had been like this over the past year.

They would go to work together, and leave work together.

It felt like they had gone back to when they went to school and returned home together. Back then, Oliver would always call her Fanny.

Fanny never addressed him as her brother. She didn’t want him to be her brother.

After they got married, she would sometimes suddenly address him as that. It felt like a term of affection that only they would understand.

Her calling him her brother seemed to bring them back to their days of youth, when Oliver had been exceptionally tender and gentle.

Fanny thought everything was going well.

But that day, when she walked to the door of his office, she heard him talking to Master Channing. Master Channing’s health had been deteriorating over the years, and he was greatly dependent on medication to survive.

He usually didn’t appear in the office.

The fact that he was here probably meant that he had something important to discuss with Oliver.

Fanny stood at the door, not in a rush to interrupt them.
