Chapter 1403
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Yvonne nodded.
âI understand. You can rest assured and leave her in my hands. Iâll definitely take good care of her health.â
When Fanny heard their conversation, she joined it, which was unexpected.
She was an actress, once a quite outstanding one. After spending the afternoon with Yvonne, she had already grasped the essence of Yvonneâs appearance, movements, and gestures.
In front of Oliver, she learned to imitate them vividly.
âMr. Channing, donât worry. Iâll cooperate well with Yvonne and present you with a healthy and interesting Ms. Smith.â
She didnât refer to herself as Mrs. Channing, but used Ms. Smith instead.
Her speech was filled with various forms of irony. Her deliberately exaggerated expressions amplified her sarcasm.
Oliver took a deep breath, struggling to suppress the anger in his heart. Then, he turned and left.
She had just undergone a miscarriage not long ago. He shouldnât be angry with her; taking good care of her health was the top priority.
When he left, her mind wouldnât be occupied solely with thoughts about the matters in bed. She wouldnât be in a rush to get pregnant and have a child.
Seeing him walk away, Fanny immediately turned around. She glanced at Yvonne, her eyes languid like a cat.
Then, she threw herself onto the sofa with a casual kick, sending her slippers flying a considerable distance, even brushing against Yvonneâs cheek.
Yvonneâs expression instantly turned unsightly.
âMadamâ¦â
Fanny immediately covered her ears with the sofa cushion. âIâm not listening. Iâm not listening!â
Yvonneâs face became increasingly unpleasant.
After all, she was Oliverâs nanny for many years, and he respected her deeply. Therefore, when he asked her to take care of his wife, she readily agreed, thinking Oliverâs wife would also give her the same respect.
However, when she thought of the slippers flying by her face just now, she couldnât muster a smile anymore.
For a moment, Yvonne stood still without moving.
When Fanny heard no movement or sound, she began shouting and commanding Yvonne., âWhatâs going on? Canât you see my slippers have run far away? Hurry up and pick them up for me!â
She was an actress, once and now. Even if she didnât pursue acting anymore, she could still make a living through itâliving her life.
Fanny looked at Yvonne, who was showing a hint of disdain, and became more determined about her upcoming role. She was going to be the arrogant and overbearing rich mistress who treated others with disdain.
But when Oliver was around, she would transform into a pitiful, innocent, and clueless woman.
Fanny refused to believe that Yvonne could continue staying here with her acting so insufferably. After all, her greatest strength was making people uncomfortable.
Fanny stared at Yvonneâs slightly plump figure, and the smile on her face grew colder. From now on, she would show no mercy to anyone from or related to the Channings.

Cecilia and the man across from her were getting along well. They discussed various topics, from the customs of the Leaf Country, to the vast farms in Tuou.
They even made plans to go cherry-picking together.
âUnfortunately, I have a cold now,â Noel said.
He had been eating poorly and not sleeping well lately, leading to a weakened immune system. As a result, someone in the office who had a cold easily passed it to him.
On the way to the blind date, his nose had started to feel stuffy. Now, it was starting to itch. Even his voice had changed.
âIf I werenât sick, we could book plane tickets now and gone to Tuou to pick cherries.â
âOh?â
Cecilia was excited; she felt like her heart had flown out of her chest when she heard his suggestion.
It had been quite a while since she had left town.
