Chapter 1256

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1256 Like a switch that had been flipped, Julian instantly became alert. His expression changed, shaking off his previous nonchalance.

“Oliver, what do you mean by that?”

Julian looked tense, and even his jawline seemed sharper than usual. Oliver couldn’t help but laugh. It had been a while since he felt this relaxed, and even Julian’s reaction made him feel a bit giddy.

Julian seemed to think that Oliver was laughing because of him. However, it was a gentle and good-

natured laugh.

“Are you not only interested in Diana, but also in me…?”

Oliver’s laughter grew louder, so much that his entire frame shook. He had to try to suppress his laughter. He smiled at Julian, saying, “You don’t have that much appeal.”

Julian’s shoulders slumped instantly. “Well, I was afraid that since you couldn’t win over my wife, you’d try to win me over instead as a last-ditch effort.”

“Does having a wife make you so special?”

It seemed Julian only talked about Diana from day to night.

Oliver didn’t expect Julian’s response.

“Of course! It’s the best!” Julian bragged.

He had worked hard to win Diana back and remarried her, so why shouldn’t he proudly talk about his wife?

“I have a wife too,” Oliver said; he couldn’t stand Julian’s smug demeanor.

He couldn’t let Julian be victorious in both business and love.

But after saying that, he regretted it. He did have a wife, but his situation with Julian was different.

“But my wife might leave me at any moment,” Oliver added, which instantly made Julian choke on his words.

At that moment, Julian sensed Oliver’s helplessness, and his expression became serious. “What’s going on?”

“Why do I feel like you care more about my wife than I do when I mention her?”

Oliver asked.

“Of course,” Julian said boldly. “If your wife doesn’t leave you, it reduces my number of rivals.”

He had figured it out. Oliver’s interesting remark earlier was a way to rile him up when he saw that Julian was romantically content.

With this in mind, Julian became even more enthusiastic. He couldn’t help but pat Oliver’s shoulder.

“Come on, spill the beans.”

Two handsome men were now huddled together in a corridor corner, whispering in secrecy. With their behavior, it was hard not to stir up people’s imaginations.

Oliver could sense the increasing curiosity of those around them.

He decided to push Julian away with his finger.

“Ahem, give me some space.”

He was embarrassed.

The fact that Oliver was feeling embarrassed in front of him was quite surprising to Julian. The distance between them had suddenly shrunk, and any past animosities seemed to have disappeared.

“You actually seem quite endearing when you’re embarrassed,” Julian said, surprised.

Oliver’s face turned red from his somewhat ambiguous tone.

The next second, however, his sharp tongue left Oliver speechless.

“I finally understand why you can’t win over my wife. You two are fundamentally similar, and my wife likes someone who is shameless and strong like me. You, on the other hand…are too gentle. My wife doesn’t like that.”

Oliver was stunned. “Do you have to keep provoking me?”

“No, that’s not it.” Julian waved his hand quickly. He didn’t want to invite a love rival for himself. “Come on, why is your wife about to leave you?”

“My father…” Oliver paused, casting a glance at Julian. After a brief hesitation, he decided to lay it all out. “My father did some unforgivable things to my wife.”

Julian instantly tensed. “Father-in-law and daughter-in-law… Seriously? The Channings wouldn’t go that far, would they?”
