Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 120

Lambert nodded, "That's right."

Lambert knew about Scott's past relationship with Sally during the investigation.

"So, do you want to cooperate with the Scott family?"

"I want to buy the land from them," Lambert said.

It was about the land again. Jessica had asked her to be the intermediary for the land and went to see Mr. Zamani before. Now Lambert came to her for Scott and the land.

It seemed that she could not avoid the land.

Although she was an executive at the Zamani Group, she was only responsible for the art area. She didn't know much about other things, nor did she get involved.

Sally smiled and said, "Then do you know the relationship between us and want to know him through me?"

"If it's not convenient for you, then forget it. I'll find another way."

The waiter knocked on the door of the room to serve dishes, which interrupted their conversation and gave Sally enough time to think.

"It's not a big deal. Although I broke up with him, after all, we used to be playmates. We still keep the friendship."

Sally didn't have many friends in Birmingham, and Lambert was one of them. They had been cooperating happily in the past. Since Lambert had said that, she couldn't refuse.

Besides, if she deliberately avoided Scott, she would feel a little intentional, as if she still cared about him.

Lambert asked again, "Will you feel awkward by that?"

"It's nothing." She began to gobble the dishes on the plate without hesitation.

When she got home in the evening, Sally wanted to call Scott first and arrange a meeting for Lambert.

She searched her address list and couldn't find Scott's number. She didn't know when she had deleted it, and she had no memory at all.

It was ridiculous. She used to think that she would never forget his number. At that time, it seemed that everything about him had been carved in her heart. But it had been only a few years, and she had forgotten all about him.

So the vows between lovers were nothing as time went by.

At night, Martin went to her place again.

Sally asked calmly, "Do you have Scott's phone number?"

Martin was stunned for a moment. "What? You want to see him?"

"Did he come to Birmingham? Why didn't you mention it?"

"Why should I? Didn't he contact you?"

"I have no relationship with him anymore. Why should he contact me?"

"It's good for you to know that. From now on, you are my girlfriend."

Martin then held her in his arms.

Sally struggled to break free and said, "I'm not his or your girlfriend. I'm just me. I'm the only one in this world. Who wants to be a subordinate to you stinking men?"

"I'm also the only one, so we're destined to be a couple."

Sally was reluctant to talk to him anymore. When she got Scott's phone number, she dialed it directly.

It had been a long time until the phone was picked up.

"Hello." It was a sweet woman's voice.

Sally thought Martin deliberately gave her the wrong number and asked carefully, "Is this Mr. Scott's number?"

"Yes, you must be Sally."

Sally was a little stunned. She didn't know who was that 'sweet voice'. And the other side had already uttered her name as if she had been seen naked. She felt very insecure.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"I'm Wendy. We had dinner together shortly before."

Only then did Sally match the voice with that beautiful face. She did not expect Scott to come to Birmingham and even brought his fiancée with him. Sally thought he was just here on business.

He used to go on business trips for ten days and a half months, which was quite normal.

"So it's Miss Wendy. I'm sorry to disturb you so late."

"If you have anything, you can tell me first. I'll tell Scott later. He is taking a bath."

"Never mind. I'll call him another day."

Sally hung up the phone immediately.

Martin came up and asked, "Is the phone through?"

"I got it through. It was his fiancée who answered the phone and said he was busy."

"Let's be busy, too."

Sally looked at the man in front of him warily. "What do you want to do?"

"You. "

" How could you think about such things all day?"

"It was just human nature."

"Didn't you work on the operation all day? Could you spare extra energy?"

"You don't know us. We doctors are naturally more energetic than ordinary people. I am the best among them, so I definitely have a lot of energy. So you should feel honored to meet me."

"I've heard that doctors are under a lot of stress, so doctors and nurses on duty in the middle of the night often spend time together when they're bored, don't they?"

"I'm not. I just wanna be with you."

Martin picked Sally directly and accidentally touched some cotton-made stuff.

The man's face turned cold. "Are you on your period?"

Sally nodded with a jokingly smile on her face. She could not help but laugh when she saw that he was in a hurry to have sex but did not know her situation.

"I'll let you go this time."

Jessica heard Lambert mention yesterday that a Japanese auspicious painting was easier to faint, so she asked the driver, Garfield, to send her to the store to buy it.

The shop was filled with various traditional paintings, more than she had seen when she was a child.

She bought a bunch of them, and Garfield followed her with them in his hands.

When Jessica passed the maternal and infant store on the first floor, she couldn't help but go in and take a look.

She felt awkward to know that Garfield was behind, so she turned around and said to him, "Wait for me at the exit. I'll go in and take a look. I'll be back soon."

She walked into the store and looked at the small clothes and shoes hanging everywhere. She was also full of longing for the child in her belly. She thought it would be so cute when her child wore these clothes.

She walked to the place where there were small shoes and saw a pair of pink baby shoes. They were soft and cute. Just as she wanted to pick them up, they were quickly taken away by the hand next to her.

She thought that it was not necessary to buy it now anyway. It was never too late to buy it after the child was born.

"Jessica." Just as she was about to leave, she heard someone calling her name.

She smiled and said, "Hello."

"Do you know who I am?"

The person who talked to Jessica was Tina. She heard from Marina on the phone that Jessica was going back to the White's. She happened to meet Jessica today and she wanted to know what she still remembered.

"Sorry, I don't remember."

"I'm your younger sister, Tina."

Jessica remembered the photos she had seen before. It seemed that Tina was almost different from what the photos showed.
