Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 644

In the past few years, Master Channing’s health had deteriorated even further. He spent most of his time recuperating in the hospital and stayed there more often than in his own home.

As Oliver pushed open the door and entered, he saw the old man’s hand gently caressing a string of rosary beads. It seemed his father was waiting for him.

Oliver’s heart sank, but he still said, “Did you expect me to oppose this?”

“In the past few years, when have you not opposed any of my suggestions?” Kenneth looked at Oliver with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “I didn’t expect you to agree to this proposal, either.”

Oliver didn’t move. “What is it?”
