Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 112

On the following day, Oliver made breakfast before he went to work.

He asked Winnie to deliver the food to Jessica after she woke up.

Jessica hadn't gotten up yet. She had just returned home and was so excited that she fell asleep very late yesterday.

Seeing that Jessica didn't get up, Winnie didn't dare to go up, and left meals warming on the stovetop.

It was late in the morning. Jessica got up and went downstairs.

"Good morning, Winnie," Jessica said with a smile.

"Yo, madam, you are downstairs. The Young Master asked me to bring you food."

"I'll eat downstairs."

After having breakfast, Jessica was going to walk around the yard to try if she could retrieve some memories.

She walked in front, and Winnie followed. Unknowingly, they walked to the backyard.

Jessica saw that there were workers building the wall over there, and it looked like they were blocking the door in the backyard.

After a while, a woman's voice came from the yard.

"Winnie, who lives in this backyard?" She asked curiously because the surroundings were unfamiliar to her.

Now her understanding of other people and what happened before came almost entirely from Oliver.

Winnie looked at Jessica who was sincere and also became confused. In the past, Jessica had always known that it was her sister Tina who lived here. Why didn't Jessica remember when she came back?

The Young Master just told her to keep an eye on Jessica and not let her walk around. He didn't tell Winnie what was wrong with Jessica. Did Jessica really remember nothing?

It seemed that Jessica's character had changed a lot. In the past, she did whatever the Young Master said.

Now, Jessica looked completely different and completely ignored what the Young Master told her.

Afraid of saying something wrong, Winnie said, "A few servants live in that backyard."

Fortunately, Jessica did not ask again, and Winnie was relieved.

Oliver had been busy in the hospital and almost forgot that Tina was still living in GrandVille Apartments. He didn't remember until he came back yesterday.

Last night, when he was cooking, he thought of this and arranged for Shank to block the door in the backyard the next day.

He couldn't allow Tina to enter the main building at will, lest Jessica saw her.

Yesterday, he used the cold weather as the excuse to forbid Jessica from going out for a walk, but it was not the main reason. If it was cold, she could add clothes.

She was not allowed to go downstairs because he was afraid that if she walked to the backyard and saw Tina, everything would be destroyed before it even started.

Jessica had more contact with the servants at home, and the servants started gossiping in private. News of her loss of memory spread.

Tina couldn't go into the main building, so she confirmed Jessica's loss of memory after arranging for Daisy to visit her.

Now that she lived in the backyard alone and had a small door especially for her. She was much freer. Anyway, Oliver didn't care about her in the past. Now, he brought Jessica back, and he would completely ignore her.

Jessica lost her memory. It was so good for Tina because Jessica forgot about the tulip earrings.

Soon, Lambert knew that Jessica had lost her memory. He didn't believe that she would willingly follow Oliver back to GrandVille Apartments. Now he finally found the reason.

It seemed that it would be difficult to see her again in the future.

Lambert immediately called Toby and decided to work at the Williams Group.

His decision was also supported by Jeff, so he successfully entered the investment development department and became the head of that department.

Oliver got off work at 5 pm.

The people in the company could not believe that their president, who was usually a workaholic, was now off work on time.

Some people speculated that something serious might happen in the company because the First Young Master who never cared about the company's affairs now came to work.

Even the people in the secretary's office felt strange.

When Oliver got home, he went upstairs to see Jessica first.

He found her lying on the sofa reading a book. She was so absorbed in it that she didn't even notice him opening the door and coming in.

It was not until a cool fragrance rushed into her nose that she realized the man standing behind her.

"You're off work?"

"Why didn't you call me when you came in?"

"Because you're so absorbed."

"I was so bored that I went to your study to get a book to read."

Only then did Oliver realize that she was reading The Wealth of Nations.

In the past, Jessica had never dared to enter his study without permission, let alone touch his belongings.

Now, she really regarded this place as her home and was free here.

He still remembered the scene that Jessica was in the house. She was sitting on the bay window, her long hair like seaweed, naturally hanging over her shoulders. She quietly sat there reading.

At that time, she was reading books related to painting, but he scolded her. He thought she didn't deserve great works of literature after betraying herself. Perhaps those books were almost the only happiness she could find here.

"Is the book interesting?"

Jessica smiled and said, "I am not really interested in the books on your bookshelf. I can only read this book written in English."

"I'll ask the housekeeper to tidy up a study for you tomorrow. You can buy whatever you want to read."

"Didn't I have my study before?"

Jessica was a little curious because she remembered that when she was a child, she always messed up in her grandpa's study and didn't let him work.

Her grandpa had prepared a study for her at that time. She often drew and read in it.

She had a hunch that she had a study.

Oliver said "We just got married, and you have to work all the time. We haven't had time to decorate your study. But now, you can prepare what you want."

"I want a big painting table so that I can bend over the desk drawing."

The man nodded. "I'll accompany you to buy these tomorrow. Now I'll cook first."

Jessica looked at his back as he left. It seemed that he was really her husband because he satisfied all her needs.

At this moment, she really wanted to have a friend to share her joy, but since she was hospitalized, no friend had ever come to visit her.

Could it be that she had no friend before?

Anyway, after getting married, the relationship between Oliver and her was the most important.

Jessica thought about going downstairs to see what Oliver was doing.

She walked to the kitchen and bumped into Winnie at the door. Winnie was about to call her when she saw Jessica, but Jessica raised her index finger against her lips, shushing.

Winnie understood what she meant and walked away.

Jessica looked at the man cutting vegetables and was so focused that he didn't notice her.

She walked to the back, stretched out her arms, and gently wrapped her arms around Oliver's strong waist.

Oliver's hand paused as he cut the vegetables. The faint fragrance of Jessica made him feel that all this was true. The woman had now returned home, staying with him.

Jessica's small face leaned against the man's broad back, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Oliver."
