Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 113

Oliver was stunned for a few seconds, then turned around and kissed Jessica gently on the forehead.

"Why are you here? The kitchen is full of cooking oil fume. Hurry up and go upstairs."

In the past, her mother told her that there were many things a girl could do. In the future, she should never trap herself in the kitchen. She knew that she had never been interested in cooking.

"It's so boring for you to cook here alone. I'll be here for you. Do you need any help?"

"I'm good. You may go and put on more clothes."

Oliver saw her come down in her pajamas. The heat was always on in the room, but it was chilly winter.

"I'm not cold at all. My hands are warm."

As she spoke, Jessica held Oliver's face and pinched his cheek archly.

Only when Oliver was young, his mother, Maggie, had teased him like this. He did not expect Jessica to do this to him.

He used to hate it when people touched his head or pinched his face. But Jessica, standing on her toes, was rubbing his hair and pinching his face. Suddenly, he felt very satisfied.

He put down the things in his hands and then wrapped Jessica in his arms. It felt good to warm each other.

He whispered in her ear, "Thank you for being with me."

The two made out for a while. When they heard the soup in the pot growling, Oliver let go of Jessica. "It will be ready soon. If you feel bored, go watch TV."

Jessica went to the living room, turned on the TV, and it was on the financial channel.

The host said the stock price of the Williams Group was soaring. And there's a male guest noting the recent personnel changes of the group.

In particular, the host mentioned that Lambert, the star of the art world, had joined the Williams Group in a high-profile way.

Photos of Lambert and videos of his art exhibitions were also on TV.

Jessica was watching attentively.

When Oliver came in, the news about the Williams Group was just over.

"What TV show are you watching?"

"Is Lambert your elder brother or younger brother?" Jessica asked with her eyes wide open.

Oliver was stunned for a moment. "Why do you want to ask him?"

He didn't know whether Jessica remembered anything.

"I saw him on TV just now. He looks a little similar to you and your names are nearly the same. Naturally, I thought he was one of your family."

It turned out that she saw him on TV. It seemed that Oliver was thinking too much.

"He's my half-brother."

Jessica said, "Oh," as if she had asked a question that was not very appropriate.

Because when she asked her grandma why her father didn't come to visit her when she was sick, her grandma told her that her father remarried after her mother passed away, and there was a stepsister about the same age as her, so he probably had an affair long ago.

Her family was far from rich but was still messy, not to mention a big family like the Williams Family. The market value of the shares mentioned on TV just now shocked her. How could she marry Oliver with such an honor?

"I just saw on TV that he was also a famous painter. Your families are all so outstanding."

Oliver smiled. "Dinner is ready. Let's go."

After dinner, Oliver offered to take her to the yard.

It was more than Jessica couldn't wish.

During the day, when she went out, Winnie followed behind. Without knowing anything, she felt extremely bored.
