Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 44

Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 44

Oliver looked at the sky. He then packed up the documents and brought her outside. “What do you feel like having?”

“It’s on me. You get to choose,” Diana said.

Oliver accepted the offer. “I know a good western place around here. Let’s go there.”

Diana quickly followed him. While they were ordering, she cursed at capitalism. Yet, she still couldn’t figure out why rich folks like him needed to spend so much money on food.

Now that she had a creditor, her bank account was already in the red. As a result, she was very careful when ordering. Apart from the signature dish she ordered for Oliver, she picked all the cheapest items for herself.

To her surprise, Oliver had already paid for the meal when she went to pay.

“Didn’t I say this meal was on me?” Diana frowned. “I feel bad now that you’ve done this.”

“Can you buy me calabash candy?” Oliver suddenly asked while pointing at a roadside stall.

“Huh?”

Oliver sounded embarrassed. “I’ve always wanted to find out how calabash candy tasted, but I’d always feel too embarrassed to buy one.”

“That’s nothing. It’s just calabash candy.” Diana quickly made her way to the stall and bought all ten flavors that were on sale. The stall owner couldn’t resist striking a conversation when he saw Oliver standing next to her. “You two look perfect with each other.”

Diana nearly choked on her own saliva. Fortunately, Oliver was quick to react. “We’re not a couple.”

Not only did the stall owner doubt him, but he even flashed him a mysterious expression. “Young man, you’ve got to try harder!”

With that, he tied all ten calabash candies together like a bouquet of flowers and handed it over to Oliver. ”

Here. Give it to her.”

Oliver accepted it and nodded. There was a barely noticeable glimmer in his eyes.
