Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 44

Jessica was going to the hospital to visit her grandma. But she was upset at the thought of seeing Tina again after work. Perhaps because of pregnancy, her hormone level changed a lot, and she had been bilious.

She returned to GrandVille Apartments very late. She was a little hungry, so she asked the servants in the kitchen to make some supper.

After a while, someone knocked on the door, but it wasn't Daisy who came in.

Jessica asked casually, "Why isn't Nanny Daisy here? Is she not feeling well?"

"Madam, I will serve you from now on."

Jessica knew that she was Nanny Winnie, but she didn't know her very well. She only knew that she was a servant who had been working in the kitchen.

"Okay, you can go down first. I'll send the bowl downstairs myself later."

"Yes, madam. If you need anything else, just tell me."

Jessica finished a bowl of porridge, went down to deliver the bowl, and took a walk. She strolled around the garden and saw Nanny Winnie walking towards the backyard with a basket in her hand.

Jessica immediately realized that Nanny Daisy was not busy, nor was she feeling unwell. It turned out that she went to serve Tina.

She felt pretty upset. Since she came to GrandVille Apartments, Nanny Daisy was the person who treated her the best. It was familiar and sad to see someone who was good to her would go for Tina.

When she was a child, Jason was nice to her before Tina arrived at the White Family. Ever since Tina was there, it was as if the White Family didn't have her as a daughter. Tina was really good at stealing the people around her.

Jessica suddenly became sentimental.

Nanny Daisy should have just listened to Oliver's arrangement. Besides, she could leave if she wanted. If Nanny Daisy was too good to her, she didn't know when she would be able to repay her kindness.

Thinking about that, she felt much better.

When Jessica returned to her room, she saw a photo sent by Jasmine on WhatsApp on her phone. She thought it was about work. So she opened it and saw a picture.

It was taken the moment when she went on stage to receive the first prize she had won in a dance competition held by the school.

She was wearing light makeup. After looking at the photo for a while, she barely recognized herself. She almost forgot that she still had such a pure and energetic moment.

Staring at the photo, she smiled. Although she was very poor in the past, she still had a happy life in school. She was young, free, and unrestrained. She didn't know when she entered this cage and couldn't move.

Jessica was chatting with Jasmine and did not notice that Oliver had already entered the room.

Oliver suddenly walked in front of her, and Jessica realized that the shadow of a figure was covering her. She stood up in a hurry and saw the man's deep eyes and gloomy face. She had no idea what he was thinking and why he suddenly stood in front of her.

Jessica bit her lip. "You're back."

The man suddenly grabbed her phone and saw the photo of her at first glance.

"Is that you?"

Jessica was still angry at his rude action just now. She just nodded and didn't want to talk to him.

"Can I get back my phone now?"

Oliver held the phone and handed it over.

"By the way, Nanny Daisy will work at the backyard temporarily. I asked Nanny Winnie to take her place."

"Thank you. You don't have to tell me about this. It doesn't matter if it's Nanny Daisy or Nanny Winnie."

After saying that, she regretted it. It was good enough for her to have a servant to take care of her. How could she be so picky about who the servant was?

"If you're not used to it, I can get Nanny Daisy back."

"I'm good." After Jessica finished speaking, she went into the bathroom.

Nanny Daisy was the one Tina wanted. She knew that Nanny Daisy and Jessica were close to each other the day she arrived. Although Oliver did not give her the freedom to go out, she could still choose a pleasing servant in GrandVille Apartments. This small request would be satisfied by Oliver. Sure enough, Oliver agreed. Only by separating the people who were protecting Jessica could Tina carry out her plan well.

At this time, Tina was on the phone with Marina in the room, discussing the plan.

When Jessica came out of the shower, Oliver was no longer in the bedroom.

After she went to bed, she didn't dare to sleep. She was afraid that Oliver would catch her off guard when he came to bed.

After a while, Oliver entered the room in his pajamas. It seemed that he had gone to the bathroom of the guest room next door to take a bath.

When she saw the man come in, she sat up and said, "Did I spend too much time in the bathroom, delaying your bath?"

Jessica was clearly estranging him with her words.

"It's okay."

"Well, I'm going to Fox Mountain Residence on a business trip tomorrow. I want to rest early."

Jessica was afraid that the man would harass her after she fell asleep. She might as well give him a little warning, which wouldn't make the man embarrassed because of being turned down.

"Then go to sleep. I'll go back to the study first. I still have some work to do."

She didn't expect the man would be so considerate. It was probably because he felt a little bad about sending Nanny Daisy away and he became compassionate. People were emotional animals. The two of them had lived in the same bed for so long. Even if it were only a cat or a dog, he should have pity for it.

Looking at the woman sitting on the bed and speaking timidly, no matter how heartless he was, he didn't want to let her down too much.

Jessica left early in the morning on a business trip.

Tina arranged for Nanny Daisy to clean up her yard after breakfast, while she stayed in the living room of the main building.

Finding the right time, she went straight into the guest room. Fortunately, Jessica didn't bring her suitcase for the trip. Otherwise, Tina might lose the opportunity to find the tulip earrings forever.

She opened the suitcase and rummaged through it. There was not even a jewelry box inside.

Tina didn't give up and searched every corner of the room. She couldn't even find any other jewelry, let alone the tulip earrings.

As she rummaged around, she also laughed at Jessica in her heart. She didn't expect that after she had been married to Oliver for so long, he didn't even give her a piece of jewelry. She was such a lowly woman. Thinking about the large sum of money that she signed with Oliver, Tina was so happy.

But this time, she had failed to find what she wanted, which made her feel a little uneasy.

'Jessica, you forced me to do this to you. Don't blame me.'
