Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 101

The elevator door was opened unhurriedly.

Oliver saw the two people in the elevator and looked at Jessica. Both of them pretended not to see each other.

Lambert, who was standing by, was nervous.

Oliver stepped aside and waited for the next elevator.

In the end, only Martin took the plane with him. The others had their plans.

Jessica and Lambert drove all day to Birmingham.

On the road, it was Lambert driving while Jessica was resting in the back seat.

She had only been gone for a few days, but it felt as if she had returned from another life.

Lambert said, "I have an empty house near Mr. Halper's studio. You can live there for now."

As he spoke, he took out two keys from his pocket.

"I'm good. I'm going to the hospital to visit grandma," Jessica refused, "Thank you, Mr. Williams."

"Don't mention it."

"I can handle it myself."

"I'll take you to the hospital."

Lambert drove to Williams Hospital and left. When Jessica reached out for the car keys, she saw two keys beside the steering wheel. Lambert put them there secretly.

Jessica went to the ward. She was relieved to know her grandma was all right.

She had been worried and didn't dare to call. She was afraid that when her grandma asked, she didn't know what to say. Before she left, she told grandma that she was on a business trip.

And now she finally came back from that business trip.

"Jessica, I haven't seen you for days. Why have you lost so much weight?" Grandma's caressed her little face with wrinkled hands.

"Grandma, the doctor said that I should control my weight when I'm pregnant. If the child grows too big, it won't be easy for me to give birth."

Grandma complained, "Why does the company still arrange for you to go on a business trip?"

"I'm pregnant, not sick. It's good for me to have something to do."

Her grandma worried her, knowing that she had always only reported good news. Her grandma felt something weird, but she didn't know what was wrong.

Jessica chatted with her grandma for a while before finding a hotel near the hospital to stay.

The next day, she woke up in the morning without having nightmares. So she felt refreshed.

Jessica went to replace the certificates, then went to Hayden's studio. She left too suddenly and did not tell Mr. Halper.

By now, he probably knew.

She arrived at the studio. Hayden didn't expect her to be back. "Jessica, you're finally back."

"I'm back. I won't leave anymore."

"You're such a silly girl. If there's anything you can't solve, we can all help you."

"It's over. I'm okay." Jessica smiled and said, "I need to trouble you. If there's a suitable job for me, can you introduce it to me?"

There were usually a lot of people who came to the studio to buy or order paintings. Hayden sometimes introduced these jobs to his students.

"Sure. Don't worry."

After talking to Mr. Halper and her friends in the studio, she regained her confidence in her future. Her world returned to peace, and it was such a good day.

She had to go to GrandVille Apartments again before she enjoyed her day.

Oliver should not be at home at this time, so she drove straight there.

It was Shank who opened the door.

"Madam, you're back."

Jessica didn't correct him. "I'm here to ask Tina something. I'll be leaving soon."

"Miss White is in the garden. She's been asking about you these days. Please."

"Thank you."

Tina was sitting in a chair basking in the sun. She hadn't rested well recently. She was restless when she couldn't find Jessica.

Yesterday, when Oliver and the others were back, she didn't see Jessica. She hadn't heard anything yet and was worried.

She was startled when Jessica suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Jessica, you're finally back. I thought you were going hide someplace where Oliver couldn't find you. Why did you come back?"

"Tina, I want to ask you something. You have to answer me honestly."

"What's wrong with you? You asked me to be with Oliver and said you were leaving, but now you're back."

"Don't worry. I'll do as you wish. I've broken up with Oliver. You'll be Mrs. Williams."

Tina couldn't hide the ecstasy in her heart. "Really? In that case, you can ask anything. I'll tell you whatever I know."

"In Holland, whose room card did you give me that night?"

Tina didn't know why Jessica asked that. She was a little flustered. She didn't know how much of it Jessica knew and pretended to be calm. "What do you mean? It was Vincent who asked me to give you the room card."

"I saw Vincent a few days ago. He wasn't the one that was with me that night. He was with you."

Tina mumbled, "I thought he went to your room first and came back to me. Besides, it's none of my business which man was in your room."

"Are you sure you don't know?" Jessica asked again.

Tina quibbled, "This is your business. What does it have to do with me? If you don't believe me, you can find it out yourself."
