Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 690

Who could she be looking for at the Channings?

Oliver Channing, who else?

She didn’t even know anyone else.

As for Simon Channing…

Julian remembered that she didn’t look very happy at the mention of his name. What’s more, Simon was the one who dragged her to the Pabians’. That probably only served to worsen her impression of him.

“Sir.” Noel could feel the mood in the car worsening, and became cautious even in his breathing. “Shall… Shall we look for her at the Channings’?”

“No need.”

It seemed she wasn’t in any danger whatsoever.

She even looked like she was in a great mood.

Why did Julian even bother?

“Let’s go home.”

The moment he issued his instruction, the limited edition Rolls Royce drove off slowly in the night.

Diana was completely unaware of what was going on outside. She had agreed to meet Simon here.

As she had guessed, he did know the reason Julian was so upset after seeing Oliver. However, he didn’t want to talk about it over the phone and requested for her to come to the Channings’ residence instead.

She was willing to do anything as long as she could unravel the knot in Julian’s heart and make him stop feeling so melancholic before the new year began.

At that time, Simon had just returned home.

Now that he had the intention of returning to the Fulchers, he decided not to celebrate the new year or have a meal with the Channings.

With Oliver taking the reins in the family business, Simon’s identity in the Channings no longer remained a secret.

Even though gossip mongers dared not make a peep before Simon, he didn’t want to be subject to their judgment and stares.

He would rather meet Diana instead.

The thought of her made him recall the fine fuzz behind her ear.

As if glowing from the memories, his usual dark and sullen face brightened.

“What exactly is going on with Julian?”

It had always been like this—her mentioning Julian each time she met him.

Julian Fulcher, Julian Fulcher!

They clearly shared the same father, same grandparents, and same ancestors. Why did Julian have everything, whereas Simon had nothing?!
