Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 75

After that, Jessica left the garden.

She walked up the stairs and looked up. She found that the study door seemed to be open.

At this moment, Oliver looked in a good mood in the study.

Hearing the footsteps, Oliver went out.

"Where have you been?" Oliver looked at Jessica who was going upstairs.

"I met someone I didn't want to meet in the garden just now."

Oliver was slightly stunned. The person she didn't want to meet here was probably Tina.

"What, are you unhappy to see her?"

"Do you think I should have a good relationship with her?"

"In that case, you should understand how I feel when I see you every day, so don't always criticize how I treat you in the future. We're even."

"I'm not like you. My thing happened before marriage, yours happened after our marriage."

"What's the difference?"

Jessica thought about it. The relationship between the two of them was really strange. She actually cared a little about the fact that he was with another woman after marriage. That woman was Tina.

She had never asked Oliver about him and Tina.

"Forget it. Let's not talk about this."

Jessica opened the bedroom door, put the bag on the desk, and looked at Oliver behind her. "That piece of land of the Zamani Group has been sold. What are you going to do?"

Oliver twitched his lips. "I'm glad to see it."

Jessica didn't understand what it meant. "Isn't this land very important to you?"

"I never said it wasn't important."

"But you seemed okay with that land being sold."

"I will never let the thing that I like escape."

Jessica looked at him as if he had a plan in mind. It would be good if he had other plans. At least, she wouldn't feel guilty for ruining the Williams Group business.

She said carefully, "You won't make things difficult for me when I leave in the future because of this, will you?"

As soon as she said this, Oliver put a straight face and he said coldly, "Of course not."

When Jessica heard him say no, she smiled and said, "Thank you."

However, her smile made Oliver look gloomy.

The man didn't want to stay in the room any longer, so he got up, left, and went back to the study.

He lit a cigarette, lost in his thoughts. He did not understand why that woman had always wanted to escape.

'Could it be that she is still thinking about the man in the past? Am I not good enough for her?'

If she wanted that Tina to leave, he would agree as long as she asked, but he would never take the initiative to do so.

Jessica washed up in the room and fell asleep on the bed until 8 pm.

She had been feeling very tired recently, but when she went to check, the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with her. She just thought it was a normal reaction during pregnancy.

In the evening, during dinner, there were only Oliver and Tina at the table.

Oliver rarely ate dinner at home, and Tina almost took this chance. "Mr. Williams, the doctor said that the child in my belly is very healthy. The pregnant woman should be in good mood. But it's a little stuffy since I've been staying in GrandVille Apartments for a long time. Can I go out occasionally?"

Oliver thought that if she stayed here unhappy, she would provoke the woman upstairs and upset her. It was better to let her go occasionally.

"Well, I'll ask the housekeeper to arrange a time for you to go out."

"Thank you, Mr. Williams."

Then, Tina pointed to a dish and asked with a smile, "How does it taste? I specifically asked Nanny Daisy to teach me how to make it. She said you like it."

If Tina hadn't specifically pointed it out, he wouldn't have eaten anything different. Maybe he wasn't thinking about the food. He was thinking about when the woman upstairs woke up and was supposed to eat with him, but she wasn't there, so he didn't have any appetite.

After Tina asked, Oliver never that dish again.

Seeing this, Tina knew that her plan didn't work. She was afraid that she would say something wrong and he might take back what he had promised her to go out, so she had to shut up and eat with her head down.

Oliver was no longer in the mood to eat, so he left the table.

...

After Jessica agreed to go to Hayden's studio to draw, she bought the tools and materials and rushed to the studio on Saturday morning.

Jessica slowly began to regain the feeling of drawing in the past. With Mr. Halper's guidance, she ended her first day of drawing pleasantly.

After leaving the studio, she was going to visit her grandma in Williams Hospital. Her grandma was recovering well and didn't use a wheelchair anymore. Nurse Lannan could often help her walk around the hospital.

Jessica took her grandma out to take a walk.

"Grandma, when you get better and don't need a doctor, I want to pick you up. I don't want you to stay in the hospital alone."

"Jessica, don't worry about me. I'm old. There are many people in the hospital. It is interesting here."

Jessica hoped that her grandma would get better soon and she could leave GrandVille Apartments as soon as possible. The good days for her and her grandma were about to come. It turned out that hard life really passed. They had gone through the most difficult days and started to get better. She had relatives, friends, and teachers. And her own baby.

"Grandma, if you wait for me for a while longer, I will definitely take you out of the hospital. The doctors say that you only need to recuperate for a few more days before you can go home. At that time, you just have to come to the hospital regularly for a checkup."

"How is he treating you? Can you bring him along sometime and let me see him?"

In fact, it was very convenient for Oliver to see her grandma, but she didn't know if that man would agree.

If he really met her, if she found out that their relationship was not as good as she had said before, her grandma would feel bad.

This made Jessica a little struggle.

'Do I have to give that man a chance to blackmail me again? Every time I asked for his help, there would be requests from him.'
