Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 121

Jessica had heard her name.

And Jason and Marina left her a bad impression, so she was unwilling to talk to the woman, who claimed to be her sister.

"Jessica, do you like these shoes too? If you like them, I'll give them to you." Tina handed Jessica the shoes.

"No need."

"I had wanted to give you baby products as gifts, but someone didn't allow me back then."

Jessica was a little curious about the person Tina was talking about. "Who didn't allow you?"

Before Tina could answer, Garfield came in.

"Mrs. Williams, I wonder anything has happened because you stay here for quite a while, so I came in to take a look."

Garfield was standing outside the door, but his eyes were fixed on Jessica. When he saw Tina talking to her, he was afraid something would happen, so he went inside to stop them from communicating.

Actually, Jessica was not that curious. It was obvious that Tina say that on purpose because she wanted to disturb her mood since she thought that she had lost her memory. But Jessica was not a fool.

"Nothing. Let's go."

Garfield glanced at Tina and left the maternity shop with Jessica.

Then he reported to Oliver that Jessica had met Tina.

When Tina returned to her backyard, Simon came.

"Miss White, Mr. Williams asked me to tell you if you get close to Mrs. Williams or say something to her in the future, you will be grounded. "

"I really didn't mean to. We happened to meet at the maternity shop."

"It's useless to explain to me."

After Simon left, Tina threw all the things she had bought on the sofa.

Since then, Jessica had never seen Tina again and never wanted to contact her sister. She had been drawing in the study.

She hoped that she could finish it and sent it as a new year's gift for Oliver.

...

Sally was at work when she suddenly received a call from Scott.

"You called me late yesterday. What's the matter? Have you figured it out?" Scott asked.

"Nonsense. I've something serious to tell you."

"Well, I'll text you the address. We can have a talk face to face."

Sally went downstairs to the parking lot and drove to the address that Scott gave her. It was a hotel.

She was waiting for him at the coffee shop on the first floor.

Scott arrived but didn't see her.

"Why don't you go upstairs? You're afraid I'll do something to you?"

"You have a fiancée and I should keep a distance from you. I am asking you for help now, so I shouldn't cause trouble for you."

"Sally, you've changed a lot."

"Change can prove that I'm living a wonderful life. As my old friend, aren't you happy for me?"

Scott smiled. "What can I do for you? You won't come to me if you don't need anything from me, right?"

Sally said with a smile. "I heard that your family is going to enter the market in Birmingham."

"Why are you interested in that?"

"I have a friend who wants to cooperate with you. If you're convenient, I'll ask him to come here now."

"Who?"

"Lambert."

"Not Oliver?"

"Does Oliver need me to introduce him to you?"

"Well, you can ask Lambert to come here."

Sally immediately called Lambert.

"Sally, I want to settle down in Birmingham."

"Why? Aren't you a cosmopolitan?"

"Because you're here."

Sally thought that was nonsense. "You have a fiancée. You should keep that in your mind."

She didn't know him well, nor did she bother to think about his thoughts. But she knew that they would never be together again.

Soon, Lambert arrived.

After she introduced them to each other, she left immediately.

She didn't want to hear their conversation. Even though Oliver found out about it later, it wouldn't be a big deal because she just helped introduce them to each other.

She had done the same thing for Jessica once. It was fair for her to do that for Lambert.

At the end of the year, many parties were going to be held.

Oliver's desk was filled with invitations.

He didn't like those events, so he asked Simon to decline all the invitations.

Simon reminded him, "Mr. Williams, you should attend some of the important parties. At the end of the year, all the groups are busy preparing for the next year's business, so there are many business parties, and people hope they can get deals done while socializing."

"Choose one of them for me."

Simon had already chosen one but he asked, "Mr. Williams, there's a gathering of famous celebrities tomorrow night. Is this okay?"

"Okay."

"You'll need a female companion. Will you go with the secretary or Mrs. Williams?"

Oliver stopped working, thought for a few seconds, and said faintly, "I'll go with my wife."

Oliver returned to GrandVille Apartments in the evening and went to the study, where Jessica was drawing.

He didn't want to disturb her, so he quietly walked behind her, took a look at her painting, and recognized that was hibiscus.

He felt surprised. So she was drawing his mother's favorite hibiscus flower, but she had never shown him.

"You're back." Jessica was drawing with her head lowered, but she noticed the man was standing behind her as if she had eyes on her back.

"Hmm. How do you know I'm back?"

"I can feel you," she joked.

In fact, it was the familiar smell on his body that told her that Oliver was here.

The man said, "Thank you."

"For what?"

"Your painting."

"Is it good?"

"It’s perfect, sweetheart."

"Don't praise me. I'll be complacent."

"Don't sit still. You should have a walk from time to time."

Jessica had been sitting for a long time, and now her body was stiff. She stood up and almost staggered, but the man held her in his strong arms.

"Have you been busy recently?"

She asked that because Oliver had worked overtime and went back home very late.

"There are a lot of things at the end of the year. Let's go on vacation on the holidays, okay?"
