Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 383
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julianâs Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 383 Dianaâs eyes were like apricots, round and full. They were akin to ripples on water, and just a glance left one feeling thrilled to the point of being reluctant to breathe.
Oliver wasnât someone easily distracted by appearances, but he was still slightly dazed at the way Diana looked at him.
His brain seemed to have received an electric shock; he was momentarily stunned to the point he was unable to speak. After a few moments, he finally said, âIâm fine with anything.â
His answer was so different from Julianâs. The latter wouldâve snatched her phone roughly and said, âFood recommendations? You donât need those. Just follow me.â
Julian had always been a domineering man, and would never say things as Oliver did.
However, Oliver was willing to go along with her words.
The two men were really different.
Diana rarely had contact with men other than Julian. Now that she had learned she had mistaken the relationship between Oliver and Fanny, she became even more cautious, lest she misunderstood anything between them.
âThen, letâs go to this restaurant,â Diana said, sending the location to Oliver.
The place was close to the city, and more people were around the area. Though it wasnât private or intimate, the restaurant had a good atmosphere that was suited to the two of them dining together.
âSure,â Oliver said as he opened his navigation app and glanced at it. âI go to this one often.â
The restaurant was known for its spicy food, but Oliver couldnât really stomach spices and would usually take the milderâtasting ones.
Dianaâs current condition made it unsuitable for her to eat too spicy things either, but she probably chose this location more for the environment rather than the food.
She was still a little on guard toward him, it seemed, and would prefer a place with more people around.
Diana instantly lit up. âHowâs the food there? Is it tasty?â
âItâs okay,â Oliver replied. âItâs good value for money.â
Again, his replies were much different from Julianâs. Julian didnât bother thinking about price when he ate, let alone value for money. His mindset was simply about whether he wanted or felt like having it.
The same mindset applied to her and Kayla, too.
He had never asked Diana if she would feel hurt about anything.
Diana felt a dull ache in her heart when she thought of him, and subconsciously shifted her gaze to look out the window.
Oliver saw the shift in her mood and continued driving silently without comment.
Diana didnât speak again until they were seated at the restaurant.
âWhatâs going on with you and Fanny?â
They couldnât have gone from lovers to siblings without a good reason, right?
âShe was adopted by my family,â Oliver said. âBut her position is special, and itâs rarely brought up.â
Diana quickly understood why Oliver had never explained his relationship with Fanny.
âIâm sorry,â Diana said. âLooking at it that way, the hush money that Nina and I accepted before feels like we shouldnât have taken it since your relationship wasnât what it looked likeâ¦â
âThatâs fine,â Oliver said with a calm look, his eyes as warm as ever.
Although Oliverâs temperament differed from Julianâs, they both had the similarity of not letting others easily tell what they were feeling.
The two men really werenât ordinary people.
Oliverâs voice was light and patient as he explained, âNow you know that sheâs my sister and her relationship with my family, which is also a secret. Nina will know about it from you eventually. After all the ups and downs, there will still be a need for hush money.â
Diana was speechless.
âWhy didnât I realize how eloquent you were before this?â
With his words, all the guilt Diana felt when she and Nina had first accepted Oliverâs hush money dissipated instantly.
âThere are many things you still donât know about me. You can take your time finding out.â
Just as Diana was about to reply, a server brought the food and placed a small ticket at the edge of the table.
âHereâs your food. Enjoy!â
Diana smiled politely in response. âThank you.â
