Chapter 423
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
After Oliver mentioned this, Diana also sensed that something was wrong.
âYes,â she replied as she finished disinfecting his wound. She added seriously, âYou were dressed in somewhat formal attire and sitting in a car when you gave me the sweet potatoes.â
At that time, cars were rarely seen in the countryside.
Even though Diana didnât have a deep impression of Oliver when they were children, she could vividly.
remember the black car.
âThe boy I saved was also dressed quite well,â Diana continued..
She had a keen sense when it came to fabrics since she was a child, and the delicate feel of the material still remained in her memory.
âSo⦠Do you know who it was?â Diana couldnât help but ask, since Oliver kept bringing up this topic.
âNo,â Oliver replied with a smile. âBut I can guess that he should also be from Richburgh, and comes from a wealthy family like me.â
âWhy would you think that?â
âBack then, it wasnât by chance that we were in the countryside. Master Fulcher had been the one to propose a group activity for the heirs. Those who could participate were either from wealthy or noble families,â Oliver explained. âIâve always felt that the boy you saved couldâve been one of the heirs, but Iâm unsure which family he came from.â
Diana nodded. âActually, it doesnât really matter who it was. Itâs something that happened so long ago. I only thought it was quite amazing since you mentioned it.â
She hadnât expected to have crossed paths with Oliver when they were children.
âArenât you curious if the boy you saved survived?â
Diana pondered for a moment before agreeing. âWell, I am a little curiousâ¦â
Still, it wasnât something she was fixated on.
âItâs fine,â Oliver said, seemingly grateful that he had finally found something he could do for her. âIâll find out for you.â
Diana was stunned. âThatâs okay. Youâre already so busy every day. Itâs not worth hanging onto something so small. Besides, the boy left the cave on his own, so he mustâve been alive and well enough to do so.â
âIf he was well enough to leave, that meant he was conscious, right?â Oliver asked. âThen, why didnât he stay to thank you?â
âI donât knowâ¦â Diana said. âPerhaps he was in a hurry to leave.â
Deep inside, she did think that the boy had been a little ungrateful.
âIâll look into it and find out who the boy was,â Oliver said with an eager glint in his eyes. âIâll contact you if 1 find anything.â
Diana finally understood. Oliverâs interest in investigating the identity of the boy she saved was a secondary goal. His main goal was to have an excuse to contact her.
But⦠What had she done to deserve such attention?
Diana studied Oliverâs radiant eyes. She sighed uncomfortably when his wounds caught her eyes again, and swallowed the words of refusal on her tongue.
Just as Oliver had said, she could refuse him once his wounds were healed.
But before that could happen, Dianaâs studio faced a crisis.
Although her studio was small, it was still located in the heart of the CBD. As such, the renovation and venue cost a lot of money.
She stocked up on a lot of highâgrade fabrics at the start of the business in order to please her customers after her studioâs opening, which took up even more money.
The that Fanny gave her at the beginning wasnât enough, so she transferred more later.
By the time Dianaâs business officially opened, very little money was left.
Recently, however, not only did the landlord tripled the rent, but the stockpiled fabric had also become moldy due to the weather.
The rent increase was absurd. Forget the dry weather in the north, it was even more outrageous for the fabric to grow mold in such a short time!
