Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julianâs Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 44 Oliver looked at the sky. He then packed up the documents and brought her outside. âWhat do you feel like having?â
âItâs on me. You get to choose,â Diana said.
Oliver accepted the offer. âI know a good western place around here. Letâs go there.â
Diana quickly followed him. While they were ordering, she cursed at capitalism. Yet, she still couldnât figure out why rich folks like him needed to spend so much money on food.
Now that she had a creditor, her bank account was already in the red. As a result, she was very careful when ordering. Apart from the signature dish she ordered for Oliver, she picked all the cheapest items for herself.
To her surprise, Oliver had already paid for the meal when she went to pay.
âDidnât I say this meal was on me?â Diana frowned. âI feel bad now that youâve done this.â
âCan you buy me calabash candy?â Oliver suddenly asked while pointing at a roadside stall.
âHuh?â
Oliver sounded embarrassed. âIâve always wanted to find out how calabash candy tasted, but Iâd always feel too embarrassed to buy one.â
âThatâs nothing. Itâs just calabash candy.â Diana quickly made her way to the stall and bought all ten flavors that were on sale. The stall owner couldnât resist striking a conversation when he saw Oliver standing next to her. âYou two look perfect with each other.â
Diana nearly choked on her own saliva. Fortunately, Oliver was quick to react. âWeâre not a couple.â
Not only did the stall owner doubt him, but he even flashed him a mysterious expression. âYoung man, youâve got to try harder!â
With that, he tied all ten calabash candies together like a bouquet of flowers and handed it over to Oliver. â
Here. Give it to her.â
Oliver accepted it and nodded. There was a barely noticeable glimmer in his eyes.
âSorry.â Diana was stunned by the stall ownerâs unexpected words. She quickly waved at Oliver. âYou donât have to give these to me. I bought these for you. You can eat it all.â
Oliver did as she said.
Diana let out a long sigh of relief. Thankfully, Oliver didnât have such intentions. He also kept his distance. throughout the journey. Otherwise, it wouldâve been rather awkward if anyone commented on how they were together.
As long as she did nothing wrong, there was nothing to be afraid of.
After buying the calabash candies, Diana felt she had finally returned the favor. The redness in her cheeks from being teased gradually faded away. She watched while Oliver walked past the subway entrance with the bouquet of calabash candies. Then, the two politely bid farewell to each other. Diana got into a taxi after a passenger coincidentally got off.
Ever since the incident in the subway, she no longer tried to cut down on her spending in this regard.
Safety came first.
However, the number that kept increasing on the taximeter made her very anxious. The taxi driver suddenly paused the taximeter when they were stuck in traffic. âThereâs heavy traffic. I wonât charge you for the rest of the journey.â
Diana was overjoyed. She wasnât expecting the day to go so well. âThank you, mister!â
After Diana got off, the taxi driver didnât drive away. Instead, he made a call on his phone. âMr. Carter, the mission is complete. Madam arrived home before ten.â
Noel nodded. After hanging up, he looked at the man who was resting with his eyes closed. They were both on a plane. âMadam has arrived home.â
âOkay.â Julian pinched his forehead. By the time he opened his eyes, he no longer seemed tired. âSend me the photos of her and Oliver.â
âThe planeâs about to land and the signal isnât so good right now. Why donât I send the photos to you after the meeting?â
They took an overnight flight just to make it in time for an important business meeting.
Julian wasnât someone who would delay his business affairs, but he could also guess what was on Noelâs mind. He sneered. âLooks like she really doesnât know her place.â
Julian checked his bank account. âBut she hasnât transferred any money. It seems Mr. Channingâs money isnât exactly easy to extort.â
âSilly woman.â
