Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 416

Getting frostbite as a child was common for Diana, but meeting someone from such a good family as Oliver wasn’t.

So, she immediately recalled the past; her eyes lighting up as the memory came rushing.

“You were the boy back then! You were wearing a suit and a tie, and even gave me two sweet potatoes to eat!”

“Yes, that was me,” Oliver replied with a smile. “I’m honestly surprised you remember.”

Oliver was so relieved, like the thing he was most worried about had finally fallen into place.

“How was the person you wanted to save? Was he okay?”

Diana’s excitement faded a little at the mention of that.

“I don’t know. I tried very hard to help him warm up all night. When I went back with some firewood the next day, he was gone.”

Oliver hadn’t expected that turn of events. “He was about our age, I think. He looked very frail, and I didn’t think he could have left on his own.”
