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.

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.”
