Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 689

However, the thought of Oliver scheming against her and forcing her to the Pabians’ residence made her resistant against him.

She pondered for a moment, and finally decided to reach out to Simon.

After all, Simon had a part to play in inviting her over to the Pabians. He probably shared a good relationship with Oliver. She might be able to find something out from him.

Standing at the door of the Channings residence, Julian didn’t see Simon in it after driving over.

It was almost the new year, yet Simon wasn’t home.

Nobody cared about where he went. Julian, unable to locate him, had no choice but to return to the villa.

Diana was still waiting for him, after all.

Yet when he returned home, not only was Nina not there yet, but even Diana wasn’t around.

The wall decorations were left forgotten on the table, which told of how much of a hurry Diana must’ve been in when she left. She didn’t even bother tidying up the place before leaving.

The servants thought they wanted to use the decorations again, and didn’t dare to keep them.

The servant in the kitchen saw him return and said happily,” Sir, the pastries are all wrapped up. When shall we bake them?”
