Fanny recalled the desperation she felt that night and the pain of losing her baby. The memories were like a snake, coiling around her heart and suffocating it.
Oliver didn’t have the willpower to resist Fanny’s temptation, especially when she whispered in his ear about pretending that she was Diana.
Was that what she thought of him?
Why did she choose to mention another woman at such a time when she was so intimate with him?
“I don’t love her anymore,” he said. He saw Diana as just a friend right now.
In fact, sometimes, he preferred contacting Julian instead. At the very least, Julian could give him some tips on pursuing his wife and help him stabilize his relationship with Fanny.
However, Fanny didn’t believe him.
She was certain about Oliver’s attitude toward her from the bottom of her heart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have hidden the truth about his father causing her parents’ death from her!
All the more he wouldn’t have told her that she was merely his tool to bear children for him right after she lost their baby!
He was just settling for her because he couldn’t get Diana!
Whatever it was, Fanny no longer cared.
It was precisely because she no longer cared that she could mention Diana’s name so indifferently.
There were no emotions in her eyes, except for cold calculation.
Fire burned in Oliver’s eyes. Since when did Fanny turn from someone self-centric to someone like this?
In the past, the mere mention of Diana’s name would send Fanny to the depths of sorrow.
But now, she kept mentioning Diana’s name so casually, even using her to flirt with him.
The fire in his eyes burned brighter, and he yanked her cheeks. He said furiously, “Say that again!”
“What?” Fanny couldn’t be bothered to put up a front.
