Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 172

Lambert looked at Jeff firmly and said, "It's Jessica."

"What?" When Jeff heard the name, he was so angry that he overturned all the go pieces on the table.

"Grandpa, please calm down. I have to tell you something. She's pregnant with my child, so I have to be responsible for her. You don't want me to be an irresponsible person, do you?"

Jeff frowned and couldn't understand what Lambert said. "It's nonsense."

"Grandpa, you know, Jessica had been pregnant before she married Oliver. That child is mine."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier, so that I could stop their marriage?"

"Because I didn't know Oliver would marry her. When I saw her at the Old Residence, they were already married."

Lambert felt heartbreaking to mention it. He hated himself for not knowing Jessica earlier.

"I'm old. I can't instruct you anymore. Does Oliver know that you are getting married to her?" Jeff asked.

"It was a mistake for Oliver to be with her. I think he will support us."

Lambert wanted to settle it while Jeff was bothered like this.

At that time, he and Jessica would hold a grand wedding in Birmingham. Even if Oliver made him a success later, he had to consider his reputation and would not have anything to do with Jessica.

So he had to settle the marriage as soon as possible.

"In Birmingham, how many people knew about Jessica and Oliver?" Jeff's tone softened.

He saw that Lambert had made up his mind. As he was about to die, he could not decide their stuff, especially for Lambert, the grandson he had always loved.

"Grandpa, don't worry. I'll take care of this. Not many people have seen Jessica before, and her photos have never been shown in the media. I'll deal with the bad news about their marriage."

Lambert had made up his mind. Even if the photos of Jessica and Oliver were found, it didn't matter. He still had Tina as his support.

Fortunately, Tina and Jessica were of the same build and height. If there were any objections on social media, he could make the look of Tina into Jessica, which would silence those gossip.

However, it would be the last resort.

Jeff looked up at the sky with considering eyes.

Now it was good to be like this. He actually quite like Jessica as his granddaughter-in-law. The reason why he kicked her out of the Williams family before was because of the severe overall situation. He did not expect that she was pregnant with the child of the Williams family.

Jeff would never let the Williams family's child end up on the street, which was why Lambert dared to talk to Jeff about this marriage.

Lambert was certain that his grandfather would eventually agree to his marriage to Jessica. Even though this matter was extremely ridiculous to many people.

He knew his grandfather well. After all, he had lived with Jeff for more than 20 years. Usually, he was really good at reading people. From Jeff's simple words, he could infer his real thoughts.

Although Jeff agreed, he had mixed feelings. He waved at Lambert and said, "You go back first."

Lambert then went back after leaving the Old Residence.

He knocked on the door of Jessica's room. It was silent for a moment. "Jessica, are you in there?"

Jessica was sleeping before she was woken up by the knock on the door. She got out of bed in a daze and went to open the door.

She saw that Lambert was back.

"Why are you back now? Aren't you supposed to be at the company?" Jessica asked.

Lambert smiled and said, "I have good news for you. I really can't wait to come back from work, so I come to see you."

As soon as Jessica heard the good news, she thought he would kick Vicky out. She said, "I'd like to hear the good news."

"Grandpa agreed on our marriage."

"What?" Jessica seemed to have been poured with cold water, and she suddenly woke up.

'Jeff has always valued the reputation of the family, how could he tolerate me entering the Williams family again?'

"From now on, you will be Mrs. Williams, not Oliver’s Mrs. Williams, but mine." Lambert said.

Jessica was quite angry and said directly, "I don't agree."

Lambert did not expect Jessica to refuse so directly without any hesitation.

"Why? Didn't I treat you well?" He said.

"Lambert, if you insist on giving me the name because of the coming baby, it is not at all worth it. You could find any woman since you're so rich and powerful. Why would you want a woman of dubious background like me?"

"Who said you had dubious background? We've known each other since we were young. Although we weren't childhood sweethearts, I knew you would be my wife when I met you again."

"This is your wishful thinking. I never meant that to you."

Jessica was now talking to him in a direct manner. Before the car accident, she thought they were still friends, so she didn't talk about it openly. Anyway, she couldn't let it go now. She didn't want to marry Lambert. Lambert's recent behaviors scared her. She thought he must have some mental problem.

"You're willing to marry Oliver before you met him before. Why can't you marry me now? Besides, we've always been very close." Lambert said.

He told her about taking care of her in Hayden's studio and picking her up from Lambola City.

Lambert did not know that Jessica had completely remembered the past. He still wanted to leave her a good impression by telling her about their past.

"Grandma told me that I married him because I was desperate at that time. If it were now, I wouldn't be with him anymore." Jessica said coldly.

"Marry me. I will give you a grand wedding so that all the women in Lambola City will envy you and treat you well. I'll keep my words." Lambert said.

"Weddings are just window dressing. I don't care about it, nor what others think. If you try to be nice to me, just let me go. I'll be grateful."

"You said you had no choice but to marry Oliver then. You don't want me to treat you like him, do you?" Lambert said coldly.

"You..." Jessica had no idea when Lambert became so crazy.
