Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 69

Simon was in a dilemma. His boss asked him to drive, but he noticed that madam was walking towards the car. In fact, his boss cared about her very much but pretended to be indifferent.

"Mr. Williams, madam is here." Simon quickly went around to help Jessica open the car door.

Jessica got into the car and said to Oliver, "Thank you."

Oliver leaned against the seat without saying a word, his eyes closed. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The car reached GrandVille Apartments and Simon finally breathed a sigh of relief because his work was finished.

However, Alice, who was lying in the hospital bed, was losing her temper because she heard Jessica being taken away from the police station by Oliver. She didn't expect Jessica to be saved by Oliver.

'Why is she always so lucky?'

Jessica went upstairs, straight into the bathroom.

When she came out, she saw Oliver was already in his pajamas and drinking tea on the sofa. She smelt a faint fragrance of shampoo from him. He looked at Jessica, who had just come out of the bathroom. Her long seaweed-like hair was still wet. Her face was red and her skin was smooth and bright after the bath.

The man's heart beat fast, but he said coldly, "Finally."

There was a hint of impatience in his words. It seemed that she had forced the man to take a bath in the next room again. "I need a long bath."

"How will you thank me for taking you out of the police station today?"

When it was mentioned, Jessica felt resentful. She thought that he became kinder because he had saved her, but she didn't expect him to ask for payment.

'Come on, if it weren't for you, how could I have provoked Alice? You don't feel guilty at all and even ask me for payment? Such a big joke!' Jessica complained in her heart.

She sat on the sofa, unwilling to do anything, and said coldly, "Even if you don't take me out, I'll be fine too. I'll just come out later."

Oliver sneered, "Well, let's see what you did. You went to a show with my biggest enemy, got yourself into the police station, and bothered me to save you."

"As my boss, I thank you for saving me. I will work hard in the Williams Group this year to repay you. But your words are too harsh. I met your brother and Sally at the coffee shop and we went to the exhibition together. I didn't expect to meet Alice there. I didn't hurt her at all. I watched her fall down the stairs when I came out from the toilet."

"Who will believe you?"

"There were a lot of people present. I had a lot of witnesses. And the art gallery had surveillance cameras that would prove my innocence."

"That's funny."

If he didn't help Jessica out of the police station, she would have had a hard time. Aaron had been trying to retaliate against the Williams Group. Finally, he had a chance, so would he let it go that easily?

But Aaron had underestimated Oliver and his secretary, his wife actually. Last time, Aaron made a mistake because he didn't know who he couldn't provoke, and now he repeated the same mistake.

Once a person repeated the mistake but still continued to be self-willed without any reflection, there would be a big setback waiting for him in the future.

But Jessica just muttered, "Whatever." She didn't like Oliver's tone.

"Why, don't you admit it? You're as funny as Lambert."

Jessica really felt annoyed hearing Oliver say those bad words about Lambert, after all, he had been busy helping her.

"Oliver, that's enough. Lambert is not a bad man."

"Yes, he is." Oliver sneered.

Hearing her words, Oliver was really angry. It was like the one that she loved was Lambert. She has never said something to defend him. He was jealous.

All Jessica knew was that Lambert and Oliver were not on good terms. Jessica wanted to talk back, but she didn't know what to say. She could just stop.

"Why? You don't want to speak up for him?"

"What's going on between you two has nothing to do with me. I just hope that you don't say bad things about the people who have helped me in front of me. I really want to get along well with you."

"So we don't get along well now?"

Anyway, Oliver could find a loophole to attack her no matter what she had said. She thought they should stop. Otherwise, she was afraid that the atmosphere would become worse. "It's getting late. I'll go to bed."

Jessica wanted to get up from the sofa, but Oliver grabbed her wrist tightly.

She was flustered. "What are you doing?"

"Ask for my payment."

"I'm your wife. You should save me."

"Yes, you are my wife."

Then Oliver grabbed her plump boobs. The woman's heaving chest turned him on, but he had been suppressing the impulse. However, when she wanted to leave, he couldn't restrain himself anymore.

"Oliver, let go of me. I'm not feeling well."

The sofa was not small, but the man pressed against her, making her hard to breathe.

"Don't move. I can't control myself if you move. I just want a hug." The man's voice was low and hoarse with some disappointment.

He has wanted her hug for a long time.

Oliver didn't want to force her. He wanted her to accept him and love him. Oliver was confused about such thoughts. But he would never admit that he has fallen in love with her. He just felt that he was inclined to be possessive.
