Chapter 1245
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
âWhy not?â Diana chuckled brightly. âA divorce means that two people have decided to stop living with each other and put an end to their suffering. That naturally calls for a celebration.â
Oliver nodded. âThat makes sense â
He had put the phone on loudspeaker mode.
Fanny could hear everything that he talked about to both Diana and Julian.
This was the first time he allowed her to overhear his phone conversation.
Whatâs more, it involved Diana.
Hearing them talked so casually about each otherâs marriage, even joking about divorce, made it clear that there was no romantic inclination between both of them.
Things were clear and non-ambiguous; like a ray of sunshine shining into a river, making the water glisten. So crystalclear it was, the fish swimming in it could be seen.
Fannyâs mood turned for the better the more she thought about it.
A bright smile lit up her face. Although she didnât look up, Oliver could sense that she was in a good mood from her side profile.
Despite being more reserved and solemn compared to before, his tender heart was something he could never change.
He didnât expose Fanny for that secret smile she hid, and went on talking.
âIâll wait for the good news of your divorce. Iâll bring my entire family to celebrate with you when that happens.â
They were having an enjoyable chat, while Julian was fuming mad.
Julian finally understood what it felt like to shoot himself in the foot.
His bad mood stood in stark contrast with Fannyâs good mood.
Familyâ¦
Thatâs how Oliver described Fanny to Diana. It made her even happier.
Fanny had seen so much and experienced so much, yet she was delighted by such a simple and sweet term.
âDr. Channingâ¦â
âYes, I will send you some information regarding the training squad,â Oliver said.
âAlthough Iâm currently in charge of them, there will be no favoritism whatsoever to anyone who joins the team.
So⦠Youâd better consider thoroughly the intensity and harshness of the training before deciding whether to send your son to the squad.â
In other words, Sean was bound to suffer the moment he joined.
âAs for the specific living conditions, training curriculum, and intensity, I can only say that things arenât so simple,â Oliver explained. âBut every child who comes out of the training squad leaves as a stronger individual with an amazing network.
âButâ¦â
He paused for a moment.
âIsnât Sean just slightly over three years old?â
âYes,â Diana said with a nod. Her heart ached even more at the mention of Seanâs age. âSean himself is insisting on joining the training squad after finding out about itâ¦â
Things between the mother and son pair were at a deadlock precisely because of this.
It had been a few hours already. The atmosphere at home was almost like that at the funeral.
âDoes your training squad have children of such a young age?â
âNever before,â Oliver admitted honestly. âEven when Julian and I joined the successor training boot camp, the predecessor of the training squad, we werenât that young. If Sean joins the squad, I can promise that heâll stay alive, but Whether he will get hurt or to what degree, Oliver couldnât guarantee that.
Diana understood what Oliver left unspoken. âYou donât suggest for Sean to join at such a young age too, do you?â
âYes. If it were my child, I might make him wait a while longer before joining the squad.â
âI got it. Thank you. Iâll discuss it with Julian.â
After hanging up, Oliver sent some information to Diana.
Her face paled as she looked through the information about the training squad.
âChildren who join the training squad have to learn to use guns?!
