Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 40

Sally went to the bathroom and asked Jessica, "Why did you come out to eat with the three men? Fortunately, Lambert had something to do and didn't come to the appointment. Otherwise, it would be too buzzy."

Jessica saw that Sally was repeatedly trying to set her up with Lambert, so she said quickly, "Sally, I'm married."

Sally's eyes suddenly widened. "I always thought Lambert and you..."

"He is a friend I've just known."

"Does he know you're married?"

"Yes."

"Congratulations."

Jessica's abdomen would be obvious soon, so it would be found out by others by then. Now she confessed directly, lest it would be more awkward to be found out in the future.

After going back home, Jessica felt that she was a little uncomfortable. It took her a long time to fall asleep.

Fortunately, Oliver didn't come back with her at night. She was free to toss and turn in bed now.

When she opened her eyes in the morning, her mind was still in a daze. Noticing the man closely next to her, she suddenly sobered up completely. She didn't know when Oliver came back last night.

Jessica put on her clothes and went downstairs.

"Madam, you wake up so early. Why don't you take more rest?" Nanny Daisy's words implied an apology for waking her up in the middle of the night.

Jessica smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'll just sleep a little longer at noon."

"Madam, do you want to have breakfast now?"

"No need. I want to take a walk in the garden."

When Jessica woke up in the morning, Oliver was already awake. He didn't get up until Jessica went downstairs.

Oliver sat alone at the dining table for breakfast. Nanny Daisy said beside him, "Young master, I don't think madam has a good appetite recently. Shall we ask the doctor to take a look at her?"

"I'll arrange it."

Nanny Daisy also found something strange about Jessica, but she didn't dare to say it directly. She reminded Oliver to care more about Jessica. She guessed that Jessica was pregnant. If Jessica had a child with Oliver, the GrandVille Apartments would be lively in the future. After they had a child, the relationship between them would be much better than now. Thinking of this, Nanny Daisy smiled.

Daisy was a personal servant brought by Oliver's mother. She had never been married in her life. She had watched Oliver grow up and naturally cared about him wholeheartedly.

Just as Daisy was talking to Oliver, she saw Jessica coming back. She immediately said, "Madam, you're back. Do you want breakfast now?"

Jessica didn't expect Oliver to be up already. She walked around the river and came back. She wanted to go to the hospital after breakfast to avoid meeting Oliver.

She couldn't refuse again, so she had to agree. "OK."

Jessica sat at the table and ate breakfast quietly. The atmosphere was a little strange. The two of them had not spoken since they had a quarrel last night.

After breakfast, Jessica went upstairs to change clothes. Just as she took off her clothes, Oliver went straight into the cloakroom.

Jessica put her pajamas in front of herself to block her body. "I'm changing. Can you go out?"

"I've seen you all over. Why are you making a fuss?"

"Let me change my clothes first."

She usually wore a shirt and suit pants at work. On weekends, she only wanted to wear loose clothes and spend the weekend comfortably.

Jessica found a milky white woolen dress to put on and found that her body became a little fatter.

When Oliver, who was sitting on the sofa and pondering, saw Jessica walking out of the cloakroom, his dark eyes sparkled with light. The woman's body was delicately outlined by the woolen dress. Her black hair was scattered around her waist, and her whole body exuded a young girl's delicate and mature woman's charm. Oliver was stunned for a moment and looked down at his phone.

"What's the matter?"

"Grandpa will know about your pregnancy soon."

Hearing his words, Jessica began to get worried. She thought this man was still trying to send her to an abortion.

"What do you want me to do?" She asked timidly.

"I'll get someone to clean up your medical records at the public hospital. In the future, you can go to Williams Hospital for a checkup and give birth to the baby. I'll get the doctor to adjust the new records to fit our real situation."

It turned out that Oliver wanted to help her hide the actual number of days she was pregnant. "I'll listen to your arrangement. I'll pay you back privately for the cost of giving birth."

"If grandpa asks, you know what to say."

"I know." Jessica pursed her lips. "Then how will you explain to grandpa when I leave the Williams Family after I give birth to the child?"

"I have my own way."

"Thank you for helping me. I'll pay you back if possible in the future."

'This woman really talks big. Pay me back?'

Oliver glanced sideways at her. "I'll ask the driver to drive you to the hospital later. He'll take you through all the procedures."

"Okay, thank you."

This was good. Every time she came over for a checkup, she could see her grandma. Most importantly, her physical condition was not very good. If she could give birth in Williams Hospital, she would be very relieved.

Jessica spent the morning with her grandma in the hospital.

Her grandma could walk with her walking stick now. She took her grandma to the hospital garden to feel the sunshine and chat. Time passed quickly.

Her grandma loved dressing up the most when she was young. Now that her grandma was always lying in the hospital wearing the hospital patient clothes, Jessica planned to go to the mall in the afternoon to buy some clothes for her.

As soon as she reached the first floor of the mall, she met Marina and Tina.

Jessica wanted to ignore them, but Tina stopped her. "Jessica."

Jessica turned her head slowly. "What's the matter?"

Marina's mouth twitched. "What an impolite girl! You don't even know to call me auntie when you meet me."

"Speaking of impoliteness, I really feel ashamed of my inferiority. Some girl even stole her sister's fiancé."

Jessica didn't want to show any respect to these two b*tches. If Marina dared to retort, she would say even harsher words. Marina and Jason had bullied her mother. If it weren't for them, her mother would not have died of illness so early.

"You... b*tch." Marina's face turned red with anger.

"Mom, ignore her. There is a day for her."
