Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 186

She knocked on the door. After a while, she heard an impatient voice coming from inside. "Who is it?"

When Jessica saw Vicky's sleepy eyes, she knew that she was sleeping.

"Am I disturbing you?"

Vicky said snappishly, "What's the matter? Why didn't you say it at the dinner table this morning? I just fell asleep and you come to knock on the door."

"I'm sorry. I was afraid that I was rude this morning, so I come to talk with you. I didn't expect you to sleep."

Jessica felt that she was a little presumptuous.

Vicky had lived here for so long, and she had never thought of learning her habits and preferences because she had never taken her seriously.

She knew that she wouldn't stay here long and she would definitely leave.

Jessica turned around and leave, but Vicky called out. "Since you're here, come in."

Jessica entered her room. She found that the decoration of Vicky's room was incompatible with the ancient classical decoration outside.

She suddenly felt familiar. After a few seconds, she realized that it had the same decoration style as that of the GrandVille Apartments living room, and it looked more luxurious.

Oliver's mother, Maggie, used to like the Baroque style best.

'Could it be that Vicky, like Lambert, likes to follow suit? It seems that they are connected.'

Although Lambert grew up in the Williams family, he had learned secrets from his mother.

Jessica felt disgusted, but she had to keep smiling.

Her mind told her that she came here to ask for help, not to judge her.

"Do you have plans to go out recently?" Jessica stopped beating around the bush and asked her directly.

"What? You want to chase me away?"

Vicky did not believe what Jessica had said as she would break with Lambert. Perhaps, she had deliberately lowered her head to numb her nerves to change her idea of not allowing Jessica to marry Lambert.

Jessica smiled and said, This is your son's home. Why should I chase you away? I'm the one who wants to leave actually."

Vicky looked suspicious. Because she was Daniel's mistress, most of her friends were women raised by rich people outside, like her.

To successfully break up other people, they did everything they could.

There was a mistress association, they made suggestions to kick away the legal wife. They worked hard.

"How can I believe you?" Vicky said.

"I came to you today to ask you to find a chance to take me out. As long as I get out of this yard, I won't come back voluntarily even if I die. Can you trust me?"

Jessica spoke with sincerity.

She spoke this from her heart.

"Don't you want to marry Lambert?" Vicky tried to trick her. "The Williams family is a dream place for women of Birmingham, whether Lambert's father or Lambert, you're sure you won't regret it?"

Taking about this, Vicky seemed to remember what happened then, when she had finally won Daniel's among many competitors, but in the end, because of the family marriage, Maggie easily took away her lover.

Jessica felt funny. In her eyes, her son was the most popular man in the world.

Indeed, she felt sorry for Vicky, who spent the first half of her life on Daniel, who was not her husband; and for the rest of her life, she only cared about her son, Lambert.
