Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 48

Jessica looked up and down at her and said calmly, "You want to cook by yourself? Don't you have a

kitchen in your yard?"

"I'm really bored in the backyard alone. I happen to have nothing to do now. If you want anything, just

tell me. I just baked Mr. Williams a whole-wheat bread. When it's done, I'll slice it up and send it

upstairs to you."

"No need. I don't have the luck to enjoy."

Just now, Jessica was quite hungry. But when Jessica suddenly saw Tina, she completely lost all of her

appetites. Then, Jessica went back upstairs to lie down.

Tina called Nanny Winnie to the kitchen. "My sister came to the kitchen just now. She must be hungry.

Do you want to bring her some food?"

Nanny Winnie was afraid that Jessica would think she was cold-shouldered, so she called Jessica.

Tina listened to Nanny Winnie as she asked Jessica whether she wanted to eat porridge or bread, and

an evil smile appeared on Tina's face.

Nanny Winnie began to cook porridge in the kitchen. Tina was waiting for the bread to be well

prepared. Tina moved to the stove and helped Nanny Winnie stir the porridge. While Nanny Winnie

was not paying attention to her, Tina poured the medicine into the porridge. This time, she only used

one-third of the volume she had used last time. Then she quickly stirred the porridge with a spoon.

Tina nervously put the spoon aside and pretended that nothing had happened. She ran to the oven and

looked at her bread. "Nanny Winnie, I'm becoming more skilled in making bread, right?"

Nanny Winnie smiled and said, "Yes, you are much better than us."

Tina was overjoyed and thought that Oliver would like it.

Nanny Winnie got a bowl of porridge and took it upstairs.

Since Jeff knew about his granddaughter-in-law's pregnancy, he took out a jar of his own collection of

the best dried orange peel which was collected a hundred years ago. The orange peel had the effect of

relieving abdominal pain and preventing pregnant women from vomiting. There were no female elders

in the family. But as the grandpa, he couldn't leave his granddaughter-in-law alone. So he asked

Lambert to send the gift to GrandVille Apartments.

Lambert drove to GrandVille Apartments. Ever since Shank let Lambert come in last time, Oliver had

ordered Shank not to open the door for Lambert again.

However, when he heard that the Old Master of the Williams Family asked Lambert to send something

over, he couldn't make the decision himself. Now, Oliver was not here. So, Butler Shank had to call

Jessica.

Jessica had just eaten a bowl of porridge. Then, she ran to the bathroom and vomited almost

everything she had just eaten out. Now, her morning sickness was getting worse.

The phone in the room kept ringing. Today, she had been answering the phone all day. She was very

whiny. Picking up the phone, she heard the voice of Butler Shank.

"Madam, Mr. Lambert Williams is outside the door now. Do you want him to come in?"

"Let Young Master receive him."

"Madam, I called to ask you because Young Master is not here."

Jessica hesitated for a moment. "Then let him come into the living room."

Jessica went to the cloakroom to change. Looking at her tired face in the mirror, she put on a little

makeup to make herself not look so sick.

Lambert entered the living room and saw a woman sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. Lambert

thought it was Jessica and just said, "Jessica."

However, when the woman holding the newspaper showed her face, Lambert found that it was not the

woman that he knew.

"Sorry, who are you?" Lambert asked politely.

Tina looked at the man who came in. He was handsome and elegant. He was still holding something in

his hand. Tina could guess that this man was from the Williams Family, so she did not tell him who she

was, but called Nanny Winnie to receive the guest.

Although Nanny Winnie had been in GrandVille Apartments, she knew the Williams Family's eldest

son. "Mr. Williams, you're here. Please take a seat."

At this time, Tina knew that the man in front of her should be Oliver's brother. She had also asked

about Oliver's brother before. She only knew that he had no status in the Williams Family and was

excluded from the core of the Williams Family, so she did not care about Lambert too much. Now, as

she saw Lambert, she found that he was also an attractive man.

Tina smiled awkwardly. "So you are Oliver's brother. Nanny Winnie, go make the tea."

Tina spoke as if she were the hostess here. Lambert couldn't figure out what was going on.

At this moment, Jessica went downstairs. "Brother, you're here."

Lambert saw that Jessica walked down the stairs a little groggily. "Am I not here at the right time? Do I

disturb your rest?"

"It's okay."

"Grandpa asked me to give you some dried orange peel that he has kept for a long time. It is said that

it is good for pregnant women."

Jessica looked at a transparent glass jar on the coffee table. There were exquisite carvings on the

metal lid. At first glance, Jessica could tell the dried orange peel inside was of high quality. Jessica had

seen a lot of precious things when she was a child, and the dried orange peel was one of them.

"Please send my sincere thanks to grandpa. When I get better, I will go to visit him."

At first, Tina didn't pay attention to the black stuff in the glass bottle at all. But when Tina heard that it

was Oliver's grandpa who asked Lambert to send it here and it was something good for the pregnant

woman, she had the intention of having it all to herself.

Tina couldn't help but pick up the jar from the coffee table. She stared at it and said with a smile, "The

things in the bottle look very expensive. Since it's good for pregnant women, sister, you can't have it all.

Can you share half of it with me?"

Jessica didn't expect that Tina could say such things in front of Lambert. But, Jessica couldn't be angry

with Tina.

Lambert sensed that the atmosphere was a little strange. "Jessica, go upstairs and rest first. I have

something else to do. I'll go first."

"Let me see you off."

When Lambert got here just now, he parked his car directly on the parking lot at the gate. It was quite a

distance from the main building to the gate.

Lambert asked with confusion, "Who was that lady in there just now? Why haven't I seen her before?"

Jessica knew she couldn't hide it from Lambert and she didn't want to hide it. "That's my younger Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

sister."

Lambert had heard his grandfather casually say that Oliver was going to marry the younger one, but

then it was the elder sister who was married into the Williams Family.

He never thought that this elder sister was Jessica.

When he first met Jessica at the Williams Family's mansion, there was a subtle change of expression

on Jessica's face, and Jessica quickly regained her composure.

In Lambert's memory, Jessica was still a young and beautiful girl with two ponytails and big eyes. At the

time when they were both children, they learned the painting in Birmingham from Hayden, who was a

famous painter.

At that time, Jessica was the youngest but most talented student in the class. Because she was

beautiful, there were many boys around her. But for some reason, Lambert never saw that beautiful

little girl in the class again.

He could only recall the little girl's appearance blearily from time to time and he had forgotten her

name. When he saw Jessica again and saw her sweet smile, as well as her two rows of small white

teeth, the clear image of the little girl, appeared in his mind.
