Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1473

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 expression she looked best and most alluring.

What she needed to do right now was to make use of her face, the only leverage she had left, to leave this place as soon as she could.

Yet, her hatred towards the Channings and Oliver intensified with Oliver’s words.

If this stalemate between them were to drag on further, no amount of acting skills would be enough for her.

She thought it was best to be direct with Oliver.

She stood up and, like a moth to a flame, pounced onto Oliver without any warning.

There was a cold, hard wall right behind him.

Strange.

It didn’t feel cold.

Conversely, it felt like a fire that had to be put out, especially in this season.

Temperatures began rising.

Fanny leaned in, and whispered into his ear, “I didn’t do anything to Yvonne.”

That was the only way to avoid letting him see the intensifying hatred in her eyes.

Were her parents watching her from above?

What right did he have to mention her parents?! Until now, she had no idea what their names were!
