Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 153

Since Lambert mentioned Jeff, Jessica couldn't say anything more.

The driver still hadn't arrived. Jessica wanted to go out for a walk, which might help her remember something.

"Brother, I'm leaving first. I'm going to the mall for shopping."

Lambert did not insist on sending her home.

Not far from the Williams Group, there was a large shopping mall. So Jessica walked straight over.

The last time she went shopping at the maternity shop, she met Tina. At the first sight, Jessica realized that her stepsister couldn't keep the secrets.

Last time, she didn't want to talk with her. If she wanted to know what had happened in the past, her stepsister would be the best person to ask.

Sometimes, the more you wanted to see someone, the more quickly that person would appear around you. It was just like Murphy's law. The more you worried about something, the more likely it would happen.

When Jessica walked on the pedestrian street, a lady was wearing sunglasses and a mink coat in such a cold winter.

Jessica did not see her. Just as she was about to walk past her, she was grabbed by the arm.

"Jessica, don't you even say hello to your sister?" Tina said arrogantly, "Don't find excuses that you have lost your memory or you don't remember me. We had a meal together a few days ago."

Jessica smiled. She was thinking of her stepsister and here she was.

"Tina, I remember you."

"Since you remember me, why don't we find a place to catch up on each other?"

Jessica replied with her finger pointing to the cafe ahead. "What about there?"

The two of them entered the cafe. Fortunately, there weren't many people, which made it a good place to talk.

"Is there any news about Mr. Williams?" Tina asked.

Jessica had heard Jason and Marina call Oliver "Mr. Williams" before. At that time, she felt strange without paying too much attention. However, Tina also called Oliver "Mr. Williams" as well, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Since I am your sister, you should call him 'brother-in-law', not Mr. Williams." Jessica corrected.

Tina chuckled. "If I call him 'brother-in-law', then you should call him brother-in-law as well."

Jessica's face immediately darkened. "What do you mean by that?"

Jessica lost prudence at the moment to almost tell Jessica the triangular relationship between them. Although Oliver was not here now, who knew if there were his men around, so she did not dare to continue talking about it.

She smiled and said, "I was joking with you."

Jessica knew that this was not just a joke. It must be a hint. Looking at Tina's hesitant expression, she knew that she could not find the answer this time.

She said, "Did I invite you to be my bridesmaid at my wedding ceremony?"

In fact, on her wedding day, there was no bridesmaid at all. She didn't even have a normal wedding, and there was not a wedding scene as well, let alone the wedding ceremony with Oliver.

If it was she who married Oliver at that time, she would definitely make her wedding ceremony the breaking news and let everyone in Birmingham know that she, Tina, was Oliver's woman and the future hostess of the Williams Group.

Tina thought for a moment and replied after a few seconds, "I helped you do the make-up and dress you up."

There was an undetectable smile on the corners of Jessica's mouth. She had no memory of her first wedding dress.

Fortunately, the second time in Holland, she put on the wedding dress Oliver had designed for her. Now the wedding dress was hung in her cloakroom. When she was free, she would take a look and touch it.

It was as if that man had always been by her side.

"Last time I saw you enter the maternity shop. Are you pregnant too?" Jessica asked.

"You can have your baby, why can't I? In the future, if we take them out for a walk together, maybe they will be like twins."

"You are so imaginative," Jessica commented coldly.

"In the future, we can communicate with each other and share our experience on parenting. In fact, we used to communicate a lot although you don't remember."

Jessica couldn't believe that she would have communicated with her about these things in the past.

She would not believe that she would have talked about pregnancy with Sally.

At the first sight of Tina, she had no desire to talk to her.

"By the way, since you are married and have a child, why don't you come to the Williams family for New Year's Eve dinner with your husband? Where is he?"

"You are quite interested in my business."

Jessica wanted to know why she had told Tina so much. It was because Tina's husband was Oliver's friend, so she had to communicate with her?

"I don't mean to violate your privacy. It's fine if you don't want to reply."

Tina smiled and said, "My husband is abroad. He hasn't come back yet. Sooner or later, you will know who he is."

She indeed told the truth. On the marriage license, Oliver was indeed her husband before, and the man was now abroad and hadn't returned.

"Then it's boring for you to stay at home alone." Jessica tried saying some beautiful words.

"Not at all. I have my husband's most trusted servant look after me at home. Both him and I are satisfied." Tina looked pleased.

Jessica looked at Tina's clothes again which cost a large amount of money. It seemed that she did have a good life.

However, Tina's words made Jessica too bored to talk to her. Although she didn't finish the coffee, she looked at the watch and said, "I have to leave. We'll talk later."

"You're in such a hurry. I still have a lot to tell you." Tina really wanted to show her role to Jessica to frustrate her.

In the past, she was humiliated by Jessica and failed to repute. Now with the marriage license at her hand, she felt very confident and wanted to show off in front of Jessica.

However, Jessica couldn't stand up with her and stood up to leave.

The driver was already waiting in the parking lot at the entrance of the mall.

Jessica got on and said. "Garfield, please take me to Williams Hospital."

"Grandma, do you have my old stuff?" Jessica sat there for a while and couldn't help asking.

Grandma remembered that Jessica once came over with a suitcase and the grandma asked the nurse Lannan to put it away.

But she hadn't seen what was in the case. It would be bad if there was something that let Jessica down.

Grandma said, "Yes, I do. It's now in the nursing home I used to live in. I'll ask Lannan to bring it to you tomorrow."

Grandma said and glanced at Lannan.

Lannan replied immediately, "I'll bring it tomorrow morning."
