Chapter 1348
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Even in the depths of despair, Oliver had a habitual consideration for others. Opening the car door for her just now was likely a result of this ingrained habit.
âItâs a pity,â Diana sighed. âOliver is such a good man! If Fanny hadnât met with this tragedy and had given birth to their little baby smoothly, she would have undoubtedly lived a very happy life.â
âYeah,â Julian sighed, agreeing. âEven the longstanding family feud couldnât affect their relationship.
Unexpectedlyâ¦death was the thing that caused their separation.â
As he said that, Dianaâs calmed heart started to stir again.
âI canât help it,â Diana said.
Considering her unborn child, she didnât want to cry again. But the thought of Fanny, who was suddenly gone despite being alive only a while ago, overwhelmed her. The thought of the little baby in her belly and how Oliver would be alone from now on distressed her deeply.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and slowly slid down her cheek. Her tears were a tribute to the departed.
Julian didnât press her too hard. He simply massaged her more attentively, occasionally giving her a comforting hug and a pat on the back, hoping to make Diana feel a little more at ease.
Even when they returned home, her mood didnât improve much.
Julian quickly called Nina over, thinking that having a friend over might help distract Diana from the tragedy of Fannyâs death.
Nina had been busy with work recently, and it had been quite a while since she last saw Diana.
Seeing her belly starting to show, and noticing her she involuntarily spread her arms and legs while walking, Nina couldnât help but be fascinated.
âYouâve changed your walking posture this month. Itâs quite unexpected.â
âMore than you think,â Diana replied. âWait until the late stages of pregnancy. Thatâs when the real change in walking posture happens.â
By then, even walking would become a challenge for her. She would likely be hobbling along.
Diana imitated her future walking posture for Nina, saying, âIâll look like a clumsy duck.âBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
Nina couldnât help but laugh at Dianaâs demonstration.
However, Dianaâs expression suddenly dimmed. âAlthough walking like this is ugly and challenging, itâs actually a rare experience.â
Fanny could have had the chance to experience it too. She was so thin. She was also accustomed to being a star and well-versed in body management. If she had been pregnant, she would have been the typical person with a large belly but a slim body.
Diana originally had the opportunity to share pregnancy tips and experiences with Fanny. She could have talked about the nuances of pregnancy, and shared parenting experiences.
However, before she could do any of that, Fanny was gone.
âThe last time we had dinner, I should have talked to her more.â
At that time, Fanny hadnât confirmed her pregnancy, but had been paying attention to her diet. She must have been looking forward to becoming a mother, to giving birth to a baby with Oliver.
Seeing Dianaâs mood starting to dip again, Nina held her hand. âDonât think too much. None of us can predict the future, and nobody knows what unexpected events life might throw at us.â
Nina had heard a bit about Fannyâs situation. âLast night, Fanny shouldnât have gone to the film set when the rain started.â
She wouldnât have fallen if she hadnât gone to the film set. She wouldnât have lost her life along with the unborn child.
âOliver is really something,â Nina lamented for her. âHis wife was pregnant. Why didnât he stop her from working?â
Why did Fanny insist on going to work?
âSheâs a workaholic,â Diana said, understanding Fannyâs trait. âIf Fanny wanted to go, Oliver couldnât have stopped her.â
Moreover, he was there with her at the time.
Yet, Fanny still miscarried.
And⦠It resulted in two deaths.
âYou have to relax,â Nina advised, as she saw Diana getting lost in thought about the situation. âI know youâre sad, but you have to think about the babies in your belly.â
Diana was already carrying twins, and was planning for a second cesarean section. It would be much more challenging than a typical pregnancy.
