Chapter 1099
"You mentioned before that if a woman with two children comes to see the boss, I should call you," Wanda said.
Wanda's voice was soft and gentle, as if trying not to startle Fanny.
However, to Fanny's ears, it rumbled as loudly as thunder. It genuinely startled her, and her heart seemed to
tighten.
After a while, she gathered the courage to reply.
"Alright."
She knew it.
It had been three years.
This day had finally arrived.
Fanny couldn't say whether she was happy or sad. She had feared and anticipated this day since she married Oliver
three years ago.
When Oliver returned home from work that day, there was an unusual absence of a prepared meal on the table.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFanny loved cooking, especially since her workload had become less hectic. She saw cooking as a pastime and
enjoyment.
In the past, Oliver wasn't picky about food. He would eat anything, especially when he worked in the emergency
department. He would be so busy, getting a bite was a
luxury.
Later, when Simon's identity was exposed, he deliberately distanced himself from the Channing family. With Simon's
actions, Oliver was forced to take over the family business.
As a new leader, Oliver wanted to make significant changes in the beginning to leave a strong impression. Not only
did he have to make proper and firm decisions, but he also had to ensure they were right and carried out properly.
He was busy for quite a while.
He became indifferent to his food choices. He ate everything without complaint, forgetting what he had eaten the
moment he finished his meal.
Later on, Fanny insisted on sending him meals every day. Gradually, he developed the habit of coming home for
meals every day. This way, she didn't have to run around outside.
Now, Oliver could answer without hesitation if one asked him what he had for dinner the previous night. He could
even tell if Fanny's cooking was slightly too salty or bland.
He would inquire when she would make her signature roast pork again, and if she needed him to bring her to the
market to get a nice pork cut to make it?
Three years passed like this, with their daily life routine revolving around the three meals in a day.
However, they hadn't shared a bedroom, let alone crossed any boundaries.
Sometimes, Oliver would become momentarily lost when he looked at their marriage certificate.
Had he really married the girl he had grown up with-the one he called his sister?
Even though they had no blood relation, they had grown up as siblings in the Channing family.
Since they registered their marriage, Fanny stopped calling him by name.
She had always referred to him as "Brother". Looking back, it was probably her way of reminding him.
Their marriage had been a last resort, a result of his wrongdoing. Oliver sighed, and felt a long-forgotten heaviness
in his heart.
He hadn't felt anything like this, not even when he had met Diana earlier today.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStanding in their empty home and staring at the vacant dining table, he suddenly felt at a loss.
After standing still for a while, he slowly removed his coat and changed into casual wear. Then, he slipped into
comfortable slippers.
Fanny had picked out all of these things. They were all very comfortable.
He circled the first floor again. There was no food on the table, and the kitchen was also deserted.
Was Fanny feeling unwell?
Oliver hesitated for a moment, and then began to climb the stairs. As he pushed open the bedroom door, he saw
Fanny with her back to him.
Before he could voice his concern, she said calmly, "When will we handle the formalities?"
Formalities?
What formalities?
Oliver was momentarily stunned. He remained that way until she said, "The divorce formalities."
Her eyes were bright and large, so different from Diana's smaller eyes. There was an extra layer of charm in them
that Diana didn’t have, and a hint of coyness.
It was when he met her eyes that Oliver finally remembered.
Three years ago, when he was forced to marry Fanny, he had signed an agreement with her.
