Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 125

Before Sally and Jessica could talk much, Oliver walked over and said, "We have to go back first. She has been here for a long time. She needs some rest."

Since Oliver said so, Sally didn't insist.

Jessica smiled apologetically. "We'll talk another day."

As soon as they left, Sally said to Martin, "Oliver has really become a faithful husband. I'll see how long he can last."

Martin, who had just taken a sip of red wine, was still enjoying the taste. After hearing Sally's words, he laughed and the wine almost shoot out of his mouth.

He really didn't expect Oliver to change his character one day. In the past, Oliver didn't even want to look at women.

Back in the United States, Martin and Carl had thought Oliver was gay.

But it turned out that they were wrong.

After a while, Scott walked over alone.

He looked around and smiled. "There are only people from Lambola City now."

Martin said, "I'm half from Lambola City. Sally is half from Birmingham. In that case, half of us are from Lambola City."

Sally was almost stunned by him. "Stop talking nonsense. I have nothing to do with you."

Wendy continued, "Miss Saletta, you're so beautiful and charming. Many people are willing to make friends with you."

"Really?" Sally picked up the red wine from the table and took a sip. "Some friends are very dangerous. The more you trust him, the easier for him to hurt you. So, I like to be alone now."

Scott and Martin heard it clearly.

Wendy continued, "Miss Saletta, you need to move on. It makes sense that once bitten, twice shy. But there's no need to be so cautious."

"Miss Wackerle, there's no need for you to worry about me." She finished the wine in one go. "The wine is really delicious."

Scott looked at Sally who was a little tipsy and asked, "Sally, are you drunk? Let me take you back."

"Mr. Deerman is here. She doesn't need you." Wendy's smile was a little stiff. Then she suddenly remembered what had happened to Mr. Zamani just now.

She knew that Sally's grandfather was a famous master of penmanship in Birmingham.

The reason why Sally came to Birmingham was to turn to her grandfather.

Later, she befriended Alice and learned a little about Sally from Alice.

Although Sally and Alice were cousins, Alice did not know Sally very well and did not treat Sally as a thorn in the flesh.

It was mainly because Sally was born in a big family in Lambola City. Her father was the famous tycoon in the transportation of Lambola City, and she was the only daughter in the family.

She worked in the Zamani Group and was always in charge of the departments that spent a lot of money. She knew herself well and never dabbled in the core business of the Zamani Group, so she was also at ease in Birmingham.

In public, Sally greeted Henry as Mr. Zamani, so few people knew that Henry was actually her grandfather.

Wendy was afraid that Scott would not listen to her at all. If he really wanted to send Sally back, she would feel embarrassed. After all, she was Scott's legitimate fiancée.

Wendy suddenly thought that she could let Sally know about Henry's illness so that Sally wouldn't go home immediately.

She didn't speak to Sally directly. Instead, she said to Scott, "Mr. Scott, Aaron's grandfather fainted by accident. Let's go upstairs and see him."

When Sally heard that she asked in a panic, "When did this happen?"

"Just now. He should have been in the lounge on the second floor."

Sally immediately pulled Martin. "Let’s take a look."

They reached the second floor. Alice sat aside and the doctor was examining Henry.

A moment later, the doctor said, "Fortunately, Mr. Zamani took the medicine in time. There's no big problem for the time being. Be careful in the future. Put the medicine in his pocket, just in case."

When Sally heard this, she was relieved.

Martin went out with the doctor and asked about Henry's condition.

Sally walked to Henry and said softly, "Grandpa, are you feeling better?"

"Sally, you're here. Don't worry. I'm okay." He held Sally's hand. "I should thank Miss White. She saved me."

"Jessica?"

"Well, if I didn't meet Miss White, I would have died. When you see her in the future, apologize to her for me. It was our Zamani family who wronged her in the past."

"Grandpa, you should rest first. Don't think about anything else. It's important to get well. Didn't you say you want to live a long life? I'm waiting to celebrate your 100th birthday."

When Jessica got into the car, Oliver asked her to take off her shoes.

At first, she was a little embarrassed and didn't take them off at all. After all, there were not only the two in the car. Simon was driving in front of her. It was really awkward to take off her shoes and sit in the car.

Oliver saw through her, reached out to pull the car's fender, bent down and took off Jessica's shoes, then put Jessica's feet on his legs.

Jessica wanted to pull her feet back, but Oliver grabbed them tightly. "Don't move. I'll give you a massage."

"No, I'll do it myself."

Oliver refused.

Oliver massaged her hands rhythmically. "Your feet seem to be a little swollen. Maybe you've been standing for too long. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you come with me. It's been a hard night for you."

"It's okay. I just happened to come to watch the fun. Otherwise, if I stay at home all the time. I'm going to be a fool. I want to go to work after the baby is born. Is that okay?"

"It's up to you." He said, then he shifted the topic to her feet. "Have your feet been swollen before?"

In the past, when she was at home, there were servants who took care of her and massaged her every day, so the swelling of her feet was not obvious.

"Swollen feet are normal. I'll be fine after a night's sleep." Jessica smiled. "Why do you even know how to massage?"

Jessica felt that Oliver's massage technique was professional, and she felt more comfortable after being massaged by him than by the servants at her home.

"I was ill for a long time." He said faintly, "I was in a car accident before, and my legs were almost crippled. After that, I lay in bed and couldn't move. I went to the United States to get a professional nurse to massage me every day, and then my legs regained consciousness."

Oliver had only mentioned the car accident before. She knew that his mother died in the accident.

He didn't tell her in detail that his injuries were so serious.

Now it sounded like he must have suffered a lot in the past, both physically and mentally.

These blows would be unbearable for anyone.

Jessica couldn't help but want to hug him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled up to the man beside her.
