Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 454
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
As it turned out, the little boy Diana rescued when she was a child was Julian. It was a fact Oliver found hard to accept.
âI saw Julian when I was younger, and he wasnât as chubby as he was in this picture. His face doesnât look quite the same, either. Are you sure this is Julian?â
Right after he asked this question, Oliver felt that he was a clown.
Julian was Madam Fulcherâs biological grandson. Obviously, it was impossible for the older woman to make a mistake.
Enter titleâ¦
âYes. Back then, the activity for all the heirs to gain experience was arranged under my husbandâs orders. I remember that you participated in it as well. My husband praised you, saying that you were a talented child whoâs just as good as Julian.â
Here, Madam Fulcher gave Oliver an admiring look.
âBack then, my husband was a little muddle-headed. He was afraid his health wouldnât allow him to support the family for long. He seemed to think that others would be intimidated by Julianâs identity and wouldnât display their full abilities while competing with Julian. So, he pulled some strings and had Julianâs appearance changed in a short period of time.â
It was also to increase the difficulty in Julianâs training.
Not only did her husband make Julian fat, but the man also modified Julianâs originally handsome face. He feared the children from other prestigious families would recognize the boy and defer to him.
âI seeâ¦â Oliver finally understood. âDo you remember Julian having a high fever back then?â
âOf course,â Madam Fulcher said. She got angry as soon as the matter was mentioned. âHis grandfather tortured him so much, to the point that a high fever was deemed insignificant!â
Madam Fulcher had been affectionate with her husband her whole life, but she would never let go of her grudge toward him when it came to Julian.
âBack then, Julian suffered a lot. Fortunately, someone saved him,â Madam Fulcher said with a sigh. It was obvious she refused to talk about it anymore.
âItâs getting late, and the weather forecast said itâs going to rain tonight. You should leave now, my dear.â
Whenever she thought of Kayla saving Julian, her heart would ache.
If it werenât for that heavy debt of gratitude, that accursed girl wouldnât have the chance to cause such a ruckus in the Fulcher family and meddle in Julianâs marriage!
During their conversation, the sky had already turned gloomy. Fall was a season filled with heavy rain and thunderstorms, after all.
Oliver knew it was inconvenient for him to stay for too long, but he still pressed on, âDo you know who saved Julian in the past?â
âI do,â Madam Fulcher said. âBut nobody wants to bring that up again.â
Was that why Madam Fulcher was so good to Diana?
But judging from Madam Fulcherâs tone, it sounded like she didnât want to talk about it anymore.
Oliver didnât press further and left the old mansion with mixed feelings. He got into his car; instead of driving away in a rush, he sat in the driverâs seat and lit a cigarette. The dim glow illuminated his features, and faint traces of sadness could be seen on them.
He wasnât sure what Diana would think once she found out. Her connection with Julian went far beyond their marriage. Was it fate that Oliver had uncovered the facts of their bygone past?
Raindrops fell quickly from the sky; Oliver raised his hand, holding his cigarette outside the car.
It spluttered and went out upon coming into contact with the rain, leaving him in the throes of melancholia.
Back at the old mansion, Julian stood by the window with a displeased expression.
âWhy didnât Oliver take Diana home after dinner?â
Vans, who had supposedly already left the mansion, appeared behind him. He couldnât help but shake his head as he replied helplessly, âMaybe something else was going on. I saw him talking to Madam Fulcher.â
âWhat could be more important than taking Diana home?â Julian sneered in response, annoyed. âHe even stayed behind to chat with Grandma on purpose.
Heâs clearly avoiding her!â
He then threw a photo on the table; it was one of Oliver and Diana in the studio, taken last night.
âLook at this! Dianaâs shown interest in him, but he keeps backing away. Even when he left, he didnât bother to look back. Diana was the one who chased after him to say something. Itâs obvious whoâs pursuing who!â
