Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 565

The smile on Diana’s face deepened as she replied graciously, “Thank you.”

She thanked him for his praises, which untangled the knot in her heart and made her less resistant against white.

“This umbrella is for you.” She fished out a black and white umbrella from her bag. “See if you like it?”

Oliver was sharp, and immediately understood what Diana said. “You picked this out specially for me?”

“Yeah.” Diana didn’t want to tell Oliver about it, but that would make it look like she was overly concerned about it. But since he had asked about it, there was no need for her to lie. The more casual she was about things, the more it would calm things down between them. “I prepared it, since you requested for me to bring you an umbrella as a way of repaying you.”

She was simply repaying his kindness, nothing more.

Diana caught the tinge of disappointment flashing past Oliver’s eyes.

She knew Oliver’s feelings for her, and didn’t want him to be sad. So, she changed the subject rather awkwardly and said, “You’re probably the only person who doesn’t bring an umbrella in this whole hospital.” She remembered the colleague who had just left and asked, “Were you intending to ask a colleague for help to buy lunch instead of heading out?”
