Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 35

Oliver soon knew that the woman that night was Tina.

He carefully recalled that the figure of that woman that night was indeed somewhat similar to Tina's. When he tried to remember that woman's face, Jessica's face suddenly popped up in his mind, which startled him.

After all, they were sisters, so it was normal for them to look alike.

Oliver now looked at Jessica's indifferent face, feeling angry. This woman was so annoying.

Since he knew it was Tina, he didn't want to have anything to do with the White Family anymore. He had already paid the money, and now it was even.

This matter was over, and he would never think about it again.

These days, every time Jessica went for an ultrasonic examination, the doctor would tell her that the child was healthy and tell her about the size of the child. She, who used to have no feelings for the child in her belly, now began to look forward to this little thing.

When she went to the hospital to see her grandmother, she told her grandmother about her pregnancy.

Her grandma was so happy that she burst into tears, "Congrats, Jessica. I'm happy for you. I will take good care of myself so I can see your baby be born. Thank God, it's good enough."

"Grandma, you will definitely recover completely. By then, we will be happy together with the baby."

"You have your own family now. Just have a good life with him. It's good enough for me if you can bring the baby to see me sometimes."

On her way back, Jessica began to look forward to living in the countryside with the baby and her grandma. She secretly cheered herself up and tried to hold on longer.

Now that she was in GrandVille Apartments, she had almost no communication with Oliver. She was afraid of him.

Watching him enter the room with a straight face, Jessica felt like the room got colder immediately. She didn't know if he was unhappy again. As long as he didn't vent his anger on her, she would just turn a blind eye to it.

Suddenly, the man said, "Have you contacted the father of it recently?"

She just whispered," No."

"Aren't you going to let him know?"

"The child in my belly has nothing to do with anyone else. I will raise it up by myself."

"I didn't expect you to have such backbone."

"I have no backbone. I don't want it at all. However, since I have to keep it, I will treat it well, just like how my mother treated me."

Jessica didn't know why she mentioned her mother, and she couldn't help but sob.

Watching Jessica cry and her shoulders tremble, he also remembered the way his mother hid in the room and sobbed alone when his father left home, which made him frown.

"You can sleep in the bed tonight. It is getting colder. If you catch a cold, it will affect me."

"No, I'll take care of myself. Even if I'm sick, I promise I won't affect you."

The man who had been sitting suddenly stood up from the sofa, "Did you deliberately set yourself against me?"

"How dare I? It was you who asked me to sleep on the floor, wasn't it? I'm afraid that I will offend you unknowingly again. It's hard to tell if I'll be killed by then."

"Why are you still so stubborn? You are pregnant with some other man's baby now!"

Jessica's eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Oliver, "Okay, I'll sleep on the bed."

"Do you think if you sleep on the floor, you can avoid me?"

Jessica really thought about this. She would stay as far away from him as she could because sometimes when he got crazy, he was like a monster.

She knew that she couldn't escape in any case, "Whatever."

He got angry again about the way she talked, and he felt that he would even be driven mad by this woman. He really didn't know what he would do if he didn't leave the bedroom right away.

At first, he came back today and wanted to get along well with her. Anyway, he was not interested in other women now. He never had any hope of marriage. Now that there was a woman at home, he could think of it just as a chance to experience his marriage life, and anyhow, it would be over in a year or even less. He didn't care much about who the father of her baby was, after all, he deeply believed that he had no feelings for that woman.

Oliver went to the balcony of the study and lit a cigar.

At this moment, his phone rang. It was Carl.

"What's up?" Oliver picked up the phone and said with a cold tone.

"Ever since you got married, you've been staying at home with your wife all day and have completely forgotten us. Come on, we are waiting for you."

Before Oliver could answer, Carl hung up.

Oliver put out the cigar in the ashtray, put on his clothes, and went downstairs.

Nanny Daisy was cooking night snacks in the kitchen. When she heard the sound of Oliver coming downstairs, she came out and asked, "Young master, do you want to eat some night snacks before going out?"

"No."

"Is madam asleep already? Should I send some snacks upstairs?"

Recently, Jessica came back very late every day. When she got home, she went to bed. It had been a few days since she hadn't eaten night snacks. Nanny Daisy felt that there must be something between the two of them but she knew that she was a servant and should never ask about it. However, she liked Jessica and she could tell that the young master did not hate his wife that much as he showed. He just didn't know how to express his feelings. Nanny Daisy was anxious for the young master and always wanted to help him.

Oliver said coolly, "Go ahead."

Nanny Daisy immediately smiled hearing his words, "Okay."

Nanny Daisy went up to the second floor with a bowl of soup and knocked gently on the door. "Madam, it's me. I bring you some night snacks."

Jessica had just put away the bedding on the floor. "Come in."

"Madam, the young master asked me to bring you snacks."

"Thank you. Just put it on the table."

Jessica had already begun to have some pregnancy reactions and had a bad appetite.

"Young master just went out. There may be something urgent. You can have your soup and go to bed early."

She knew that Nanny Daisy had deliberately said something nice about Oliver, but anyhow she was very grateful to her.

Jessica picked up the bowl and quickly finished the soup.

After washing up, Jessica lay on the bed and felt a long-lost sense of happiness. She just hoped that Oliver would not come back tonight so that she could sleep soundly.

In the middle of the night, Jessica was sleeping soundly when she heard a knock on the door.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and got out of bed to open the door. It was Nanny Daisy standing at the door.

"Madam, Young Master asked you to pick him up."
