Semua Bab Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Bab 1471 - Bab 1480

The afternoon sun wasn’t as scorching as it was in the morning. It felt gentler and made Diana’s dewy skin glow. When a stray lock of hair fell, it seemed like a ripple spreading out on a sparkling lake.Jim’s mood lifted instantly.With her head bent over and her neck exposed, Diana looked like she belonged in a beautiful painting. There was a delightful charm about her, with her hand resting on her swollen belly.“Have you ever fallen in love?” Jim suddenly asked Diana as he looked at her.He had never been in love. Yet, suddenly, he felt an itch in the depths of his heart.He clicked on the browser on his computer and briefly described what he was feeling right now in the search bar. The conclusion he arrived at was, “OP, you want to be in a relationship.”Jim felt as though someone had hit him over the head with a hammer.How could he possibly want to be in a relationship?With a pregnant lady, no less!He should be concentrating on his research. His mother said that o

Oliver was aware of this shortcoming of his, which was why whenever he was with Fanny, he never wore his heart on his sleeve. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to stop embarrassing himself before her.What if she didn’t like what she saw of him?Thus, Oliver wanted to hide his emotions from her.Yet now, he couldn’t help but expose his true feelings before her.The moment he sensed his ears turning red, he pulled his hand back in embarrassment and fled to the washroom to hide his anxiety.When he emerged from the washroom once more, he was still his usual polite and gentlemanly self. However, the words he said were cold as ice, breaking Fanny’s already broken heart even further. “Fanny Smith, your parents are watching you from up above. Please have some self-respect.”His words were deeply piercing.It almost made the tears in Fanny’s eyes fall.Thanks to her lengthy experience in acting, however, she was able to go through with this facade.She knew at which angle and which ex

Her diligence at doing handstands coupled with the frequency he was visiting her…Oliver’s brows furrowed. He was getting worried.He was worried that Fanny would soon get pregnant. She might eventually tell him that she wanted to leave him after giving birth to their child!That was her goal, wasn’t it?She was the one treating him as a tool.He could sense her affection for him vanishing, and he felt suffocated. He couldn’t help but look at her; he was about to stop her when he heard his phone ring.It was a call from his father.Oliver’s eyes turned dark. He glanced at Fanny before heading to the washroom. Very soon, he came out of the washroom once more, his face pale.“I’m heading home.”His father was on the verge of death.Shock flashed past Fanny’s face when she found out.She hadn’t taken revenge yet. She hadn’t even found out her parents’ names!How could that man just die like that?!At that moment, she couldn’t figure out if she felt happy or not. She instincti

“I got played out,” said the actress, Erin Lane. Her eyes were red. Erin grabbed Fanny’s arms, and squeezed hard. When she felt the warmth of Fanny’s body, she finally believed that Fanny wasn’t dead. “Ever since you…” Erin paused. Instead of saying that Fanny had died, Erin amended her words, and said “Ever since something bad happened to you, chaos ensued in the company. Mr. Channing did step forward to help manage things, but his oversight was limited only to famous actors and actresses. Things were tougher for unknown actors and actresses like me.”Erin had just signed a contract with the company, and Fanny didn’t have the chance to sign her up in a movie or drama. Fanny initially wanted Erin to be featured in the show she was prioritizing, but didn’t expect to suffer from a miscarriage during the filming. Right now, she couldn’t even save herself from her plight, not to mention others.One thing she didn’t expect was for Oliver to manage her company.She thought he would le

Oliver wasn’t willing to take over the family business. He was happiest when he worked as a doctor.But because of Kenneth’s deteriorating health, Oliver was forced to work for the family. Bogged down by the overwhelming demands of business, Oliver no longer had the chance to pick up his beloved scalpel.Although Oliver never spoke a word about it, Kenneth knew that his son wasn’t happy working for the company.He couldn’t even be with Diana, the woman he loved. Thankfully, he fell in love with Fanny, who loved him with all her heart.Kenneth was delighted to see that.But…His sins against the Smiths came back to haunt him like a nightmare.He was worried Oliver might find out about his secret, and that might drive a wedge between them as father and son. Therefore, he decided to come clean. Whether Oliver would be upset or shocked wasn’t part of his consideration.He was a father with a penchant for manipulating his son.But right now, he regretted it deeply.He was about to
