Chapter 1243
Fanny walked into the washroom for a shower.
By the time she was done, Master Channing had left.
"It wasn't appropriate for Dad to be around while you were showering," Oliver said.
Fanny nodded as she blow-dried her hair.
"So?” she pressed. "What wrong did he do to me? What did he do that made it worth for you, the son he was most
pleased with, to make amends to me with your entire life?"
"Your hair is still wet," Oliver said, not replying to Fanny's question directly.
He even blew her hair dry for her for the first time, just to avoid answering her question.
He didn’t even know how to do it properly.
Blow-drying someone's hair had to be done slowly, from the front to the back. Alternatively, one could hold the
ends of the hair and slowly dry it. However, Oliver flipped Fanny's hair over and blew at her scalp at the maximum
heat.
Water dripped from the ends of Fanny's hair that Oliver flipped over down her face, which eventually dried up. The

She was about to open her mouth to ask about things
between her and Master Channing when Oliver suddenly bent forward and kissed her.
"Fanny, don't ask."
If she asked...
They wouldn't be able to continue the marriage the way it was right now.
For the very first time, Fanny relented, even though she really wanted to ask that question out loud today.
Suddenly, the number they dialed to Julian and Diana went through.
"Hello?" That was Diana, sounding as clear and vulnerable as Fanny remembered her to be. It was just like her-she
looked vulnerable on the outside, but was in fact resilient on the inside.
She was a beautiful woman, indeed. Her beauty came from within.
Fanny had always been confident about her looks, and never found another woman who could surpass her in terms
of her beauty.
In fact, someone had even said that Fanny Smith wasn’t just a name or a noun, but more of an adjective used to
describe someone who was beautiful.
Now, the thought of how awestruck she was by Diana's beauty when she first saw the latter brought a chuckle to
her lips.
Perhaps all those people had never seen Diana.
Fanny was thankful Diana never entered the entertainment industry. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been that
popular in her day.
Oliver didn’t understand why Fanny suddenly chuckled. She even greeted Diana casually.
"Hello."
The shock in Oliver's eyes made sorrow grow in Fanny's heart.
Oliver never understood her.
Right now, Oliver probably thought that she would flee hastily from Diana, or get jealous. In fact, Oliver thought that
she should be jealous of Diana.
But why should Fanny be jealous of Diana?
When issues arise between a married couple, the priority shouldn't be to attack the other woman. The priority
should be to deal with the issue with her own husband.
Fanny looked at Oliver with cold eyes, which made Oliver's heart tremble.

However, she had already walked out. "Have a good chat."
Oliver didn’t manage to grab her hand in time.
Diana's panicked voice sounded from the other end of the call. "Dr. Channing."
She addressed him the same way she did in the past. Oliver looked in the direction Fanny left, but didn’t stand up to
chase after her.
"Ms. Winnington, what's the matter?”
He didn't call her Mrs. Fulcher.
Hearing that, the smile on Fanny’s lips turned cold.
She took a deep breath, and walked even further. She thought Oliver probably didn't want her overhearing their
conversation.
He used to ask her to leave whenever he was on the phone.
Apparently, their husband and wife relationship didn't have the intimacy that ordinary husband and wife shared.
"My husband is right next to me," Diana said as she pulled Julian over, worried that Fanny might misunderstand. "I'll
have him talk to you."
But by then, Fanny had already left.
