Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 472

Who could have done it?

A rare hint of fierceness flashed in Oliver's eyes. After some thought, he decided to visit his family.

When Fanny heard Oliver was returning home, she was shocked. After all, the family head used many methods before to have him return. Yet, he failed in persuading Oliver to even drop by for a short visit. Even later on, Oliver had only made a few trips to the hospital when the old man had been admitted.

But now...

Oliver was actually returning to the family residence because of Diana.

Not only had he returned, but he had also gathered all of his cousins from the fourth branch of the family.

Some of them were annoyed and shouted, "It's raining! Why the hell did you call us out on this day?"

"Yeah! A certain someone has already gone off to work at a hospital. What's this? Is he regretting his decision and is trying to meddle in the family's affairs?"

"Dream on! Someone who voluntarily left just can't come waltzing back in. That's just wishful thinking!"

Before Oliver entered the house, he could already hear the discussions going on inside.

However, he wasn't intimidated at all, nor did he show any signs of wanting to retreat. He simply continued walking forward, stepping all over the threshold.

When those inside heard the noise from the door, they all tuned to look.

The dampness of the rainy night still clung to Oliver's body, but there was no sign of any wetness on his feet. He looked like he had just emerged from clean earth, with the dampness buried deeply in soil and the dryness of sunlight.

It was impossible to ignore him in that state. Then, someone greeted him first.

"Oliver."

"Oliver."

Then, several more of his cousins called out to him.

Oliver nodded, acknowledging them all. Someone immediately brought a chair for him.

"Please sit."

Oliver smiled; it was as warm as the spring breeze, though accompanied by an invisible oppressive pressure.

"No need for that. I only came here to catch up with everyone today."
