Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 26

Jessica felt something strange and suddenly turned around.

Oliver immediately got up and sat straight, like a kid who made a mistake

The next day, when she woke up, she found herself lying on the bed, while Oliver had left.

She lifted the quilt and looked at her clothes, breathing a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing happened with them again.

She got out of bed and washed up quickly. She had to go back to her room to change clothes. Today was the opening day of the hotel, and she had a lot of things to do.

Jessica came out and saw breakfast on the table. She touched the edge of the bowl. It was still warm. It seemed that Oliver had just left.

She finished her breakfast and went back to her room. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she met Catherine.

Catherine stared at her with a strange look, which scared her.

"Jessica, did you come down from upstairs?"

When Catherine was waiting for the elevator just now, she saw that the elevator came down from the top floor. As a secretary, she knew clearly that the top floor was the president's room, so she was confused.

Jessica looked away. "I wanted to go to the top floor for a breeze. But I didn't expect that I couldn't enter the top floor, so I went down."

"Don't wander around. There are some forbidden places here."

'I know more than you, okay?' Jessica wanted to roll her eyes at Catherine.

The opening ceremony of the hotel went smoothly. Jessica wanted to leave the hotel early and go back to Birmingham.

She wanted to stay in the hospital with her grandma this weekend. She had less time to stay with her since she started working.

She packed her luggage and was about to take a taxi when saw a familiar SUV. It was Lambert's car.

She saw Sally sitting in the passenger seat.

The window rolled down, and Sally asked, "Miss White, are you going back? Come on, get in."

Sally was an outgoing girl. She looked about the same age as Jessica. The two of them got along well.

Jessica laughed and said, "I called a taxi, and it'll be here soon. I'll get out of your hair."

"Come on. We can talk and kill time."

Lambert also invited her to get in the car, so she could not refuse anymore. She opened the backdoor and got into the car. After sitting down, she said, "Thank you so much."

"Don't mention it. I think Mr. Williams is glad to do so." Sally said half-jokingly.

Jessica was a little awkward.

Sally didn't know about her relationship with Lambert and probably thought she was bringing a romance to them.

Lambert said, "It just so happens that I have to go back to Birmingham too."

Oliver finished his work and realized his promise. He said he would take Jessica to lunch with Martin and Carl.

He asked Simon to find Jessica.

Simon was speechless, after all, Oliver looked for Jessica through Simon every time. He saw Jessica carrying her luggage and getting into Lambert's car, but he couldn't tell Oliver directly. He was afraid that Oliver would kill him.

He had to call Jessica in front of Oliver.

"Mrs. Williams, Mr. Williams wants to have lunch with you. Where are you now?"

"Lunch?" Jessica repeated, afraid that she might have misheard.

"Yes."

"Please tell him that I'm on the way back to Birmingham."

After she hung up the phone, Sally asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"It's nothing. A friend wants to have lunch with me. I will talk to him when we go back."

Lambert drove quietly. Recalling what Oliver said last night, he didn't know if sending Jessica back would cause her trouble.

Sally didn't like awkward silence, so she kept asking questions. She suddenly turned to Lambert and asked, "There's an overseas exhibition in a few days. Do you want to attend?"

Lambert was immersed in his thoughts, and he didn't hear Sally at all. After a few seconds, he realized, "Excuse me?"

"It's nothing big."

Oliver was furious when he heard that Jessica had left.

Simon spoke carefully, "Mr. Williams, do you want me to take Mrs. Williams back?"

Oliver said in a cold voice, "No."

After a while, Martin and Carl came.

Carl walked around the room and didn't see any woman. "Where's your wife? Why is she so mysterious?"

"She's back to Birmingham."

"You can't even handle a woman?"

Martin reminded Carl on the side, "Mind your words. He'll tear you apart if you get him angry."

"How dare I?" He said on purpose, "There were so many ladies by Oliver's side last night. Did you piss your wife off?"

Oliver sneered in his heart. 'That woman wouldn't be angry. She said she is heartless. That is good. It would be much easier for us to divorce when the time comes.'

"Carl, if you continue to say that, I will send you you back to America."

Carl was lost for words.

"Mr. Williams, just pull over there." After the car entered the district of Birmingham, Jessica was about to get out of the car.

Sally said, "Where are you going? Lambert can send you there directly."

"I'm going to buy something nearby."

After Jessica got out of the car, Sally also looked at Lambert's expression. Sally felt that he looked strange, but she couldn't tell.

Jessica bought some food for her grandma before taking a taxi to the hospital. Knowing that her grandmother had recently recovered, she was grateful to Oliver.

When she was eating with her grandmother, something was always coming out of her throat. She felt a little uncomfortable, so she drank some water.

Her grandma saw this and asked, "Jessica, are you feeling bad?"

"I was working overtime yesterday. I'm a little tired, but I'll be fine after a rest."

"Are you in a special condition?"

"What?" Jessica didn't understand what her grandmother was saying.

"I think you're pregnant. That's what your mother looked like when she was pregnant."

Pregnant...
