Julian’s Stand-In Wife

“Why not?” Diana chuckled brightly. “A divorce means that two people have decided to stop living with each other and put an end to their suffering. That naturally calls for a celebration.”

Oliver nodded. ‘That makes sense “

He had put the phone on loudspeaker mode.

Fanny could hear everything that he talked about to both Diana and Julian.

This was the first time he allowed her to overhear his phone conversation.

What’s more, it involved Diana.

Hearing them talked so casually about each other’s marriage, even joking about divorce, made it clear that there was no romantic inclination between both of them.

Things were clear and non-ambiguous; like a ray of sunshine shining into a river, making the water glisten. So crystalclear it was, the fish swimming in it could be seen.

Fanny’s mood turned for the better the more she thought about it.

A bright smile lit up her face. Although she didn’t look up, Oliver could sense that she was in a good mood from her side profile.

Despite being more reserved and solemn compared to before, his tender heart was something he could never change.

He didn’t expose Fanny for that secret smile she hid, and went on talking.

“I’ll wait for the good news of your divorce. I’ll bring my entire family to celebrate with you when that happens.”
