Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24

It was only when she saw the familiar blue police uniforms around her that she realized that she was in a police station at the moment. She finally felt a little relieved.

Oliver somewhat regretted patting her from the back, but she was on the phone at the time. He had only patted her lightly when she did not respond after he called her a few times.

He didn’t expect her to have such an exaggerated reaction.

“I’m sorry.” He quickly distanced himself from Diana in a very gentlemanly manner before handing her the police return statement. “Everything’s all been taken care of, and that molester has already been locked up. Please don’t be afraid.”

This was the third burst of warmth Diana felt after going through the unpleasant experience of being

molested.

The first was this man coming forward.

The second was the milk tea he bought her.

The third was what he said just now: that she didn’t have to be afraid anymore.

As it turned out, someone could see through her facade of strength and actually noticed that she needed comfort.

There were people other than Julian who cared about her.

Such pure kindness made Diana, who had just argued with Julian, feel warm inside.

“Diana! Who are you talking to?!” Julian shouted into the phone several times, though he didn’t get a response. He instantly stood up from the chair, his eyes burning with a killing intent.

But Diana didn’t pay attention to her phone. In fact, she was busy signing the receipt for confirmation. When she saw the man’s name, she read it out softly. “Oliver Channing, is it? Can I buy you a meal?”

She didn’t like to owe favors. Plus, she wanted to express her gratitude as he had helped her so much today.

Diana believed that Oliver was largely responsible for how quickly the molester was apprehended and imprisoned. Much of the credit lies in Oliver’s actions.
