Chapter 1241
The next second, she heard Oliver say, "It's fine. I don't regret marrying Fanny."
She was overjoyed when she heard that.
She experienced happiness like never before, as if fireworks were exploding in her heart. There was an itch in her
throat, almost driving her to push that door open and calling Oliver her honey sweetly.
However, Master Channing's next words stopped her hand, which was almost reaching the door handle.
"Do you love her? Do you have no regret because you're making amends on my behalf, or because you really love
her?'
Making amends for Master Channing?
What wrong did Master Channing do to her?
Over the years, it was all thanks to the Channings for taking her in that Fanny was able to grow up peacefully and
healthily.
Although she wasn't their darling, the Channings' influence and Oliver's presence gave her an admirable life during
her youth. Later when she joined the entertainment industry, despite having to walk on eggshells at home with the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChannings, she never suffered at work because Oliver was willing to invest in her career.
She had always felt grateful for the Channings and Oliver.
"What's the big deal whether I love her or not? Marriage is all about getting used to each other. I'm used to Fanny
being around me since we were kids, and that's the same now. I realized that as long as I've gotten used to it, this
marriage can go on. Not only can it solve your problem, but it can also help me maintain the image of having a
happy marriage.
That's pretty good.”
The fireworks in Fanny's throat exploded for good.
Yet, she didn't feel an ounce of joy at all.
All that was left was the bitter taste of sorrow that spread from her throat to her chest, almost breaking her heart
into many tiny pieces.
Her heart was bleeding.
Fanny clenched her fists, and stood at the door in a daze. She no longer had the courage to push the door open.
It was only until the secretary came over and saw her standing there, and called her Mrs. Channing, did the two
men inside finally notice her presence. Oliver stood up, and opened the door to his office.
His height advantage allowed him to hide the flash of panic in his eyes. His experience managing the company over
the past four years had trained him in hiding his feelings well.
He found that it was easy for others to see through him if he didn’t hide his emotions. When that happened, he
often found himself at a disadvantage in negotiations and work.
Thus, he had to make himself look solemn and severe.
The man who used to feel as warm as a summer breeze, felt more and more distant as the burden on his shoulders
grew heavier and heavier.
"Have you been here for a while?”
He certainly knew what Fanny had overheard standing at the door just now, but he didn't explain himself.
That clearly showed how little he cared for her.
Just like he said, Fanny was just someone he had gotten used to.
He hadn't given up on Diana and fallen in love with Fanny over the past year, as Fanny had thought.
Instead...
While it might be true that Oliver no longer loved Diana, it was also true that he still didn't Move her.
Facing the truth hurt so much.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFanny looked down and nodded, not daring to look at him.
She used to act in so many movies, so shedding tears was as easy as pie for her. She could always sob sorrowfully
whenever her character was sad. Viewers often commented that her crying scenes were very convincing.
But at this moment, she couldn't bring herself to cry despite being overwhelmed with sorrow. She couldn't cry, and
she couldn't laugh either.
Just as Oliver said, perhaps she had gotten used to it too.
She had gotten used to him hurting her in their relationship.
At the end of the day, she was the one who asked for this marriage.
When Oliver just started taking over the Channing family business, many of his relatives were upset about it. Many
thought that Simon could still take over the business, even if Oliver didn’t.
No one expected Simon to turn out to be a son of the Fulcher family.
The moment news broke out, everyone in the Channing family who were previously suppressed suddenly became
emboldened to fight for a piece of the pie.
Oliver found himself in the midst of the storm, having to manage the Channing business while guarding himself
against the schemes of his own family members.
Yet, he still failed.
