Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 168

Jessica took the elevator to the third floor.

She took out the key and opened the door. The flowers in the living room had withered with remaining fragrance.

The room was the same as when they left that day, but her grandma wasn't there.

She used to see her grandma sitting on the sofa the moment she opened the door.

Her dear grandma often said, "Jessica is back."

Now her grandma went to the hospital with the room empty.

She didn't know when she could live with her grandma again.

After only a few days apart, she began to miss the day when her grandma stayed with her, which was indeed true life, simple, ordinary, warm, and loving.

Amy and Annie followed her upstairs.

Amy asked, "Miss White, what do you need to pack? Let me help you."

Jessica looked around and said, "Check if there's anything in the fridge and throw away the unusable things."

After that, she went to the bedroom and packed her suitcase.

Amy and Annie went to the kitchen and followed Jessica separately.

Jessica knew that they were also following Lambert's instructions and smiled. "Amy, look, my belly is so large. What trouble can I make? Don't worry, I won't commit suicide or jump off the building."

"I'm sorry, Miss White. It's our duty." Amy apologized.

Jessica lowered her head to pack her things silently.

And then, she put her few things into the suitcase and went to her grandma's room.

The drawer opened, she saw a piece of paper whose title wrote a hotel in Lambola City.

It was a letter of divorce between her and Oliver. Both of them had signed a note at that time, promising not to interfere with each other forever.

Her grandma checked the case in advance and took out this piece of paper when Jessica asked her for the case.

If she had seen it earlier, perhaps she would have remembered what had happened earlier as well.

She would also be mentally prepared instead of feeling faint at the gate of the mansion of the Williams family.

During the three days of her coma, she felt fully conscious and began to connect the past events. She pondered so much that she was too exhausted to awake.

Jessica folded the piece of paper and put it in her pocket.

She could not help feeling sad.

"Miss White, are you okay?" Amy asked beside the door.

Jessica turned and said, "Let's go."

Later, Jessica went back to Lambert's again and found a wooden sign at the door saying "Jessica&Lambert's House."

She could not help feeling a chill from the bottom of her heart.

With more helplessness and sadness born, she was a pity that she could have been his painting friend.

She admired Lambert's artistic talent which was among the little beauty of life she could discover through her eyes.

However, it was ruined by him.

Now she could only live in the shadow of others, not knowing when she would be free.

Amy asked with the case in her hand. "Miss White, do you want your case to be in the cloakroom or in the bedroom?"

Jessica woke up in the morning and found a set of maternity dresses on the bedside. Without asking much, she just got dressed.

She still didn't know where the cloakroom was.

"There's unnecessary, don't mess up Mr. Williams's things."

She didn't want to put her belongings together with Lambert's, which was really strange.
