Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 114

Oliver brought Jessica to a place that mainly sold antique furniture.

After inquiry, Simon knew that painting tables were available in the shop.

The boss quickly stepped forward. "Sir, Miss, we just got a bright yellow pear-patterned painting table. Please follow me inside to take a look."

Jessica joked, "Boss, don't greet me as 'Miss'. I'm the wife of this handsome man."

Seeing this, the boss smiled and said, "The gentleman is very lucky to have such a beautiful and good-natured wife."

Oliver walked straight ahead expressionlessly.

Simon said on the side, "They are a perfect match."

The boss kept smiling beside Simon.

When she entered the room in the back, Jessica immediately saw the painting table. The lines were simple, and the surface of the table was of the original color of the wood. She leaned over and pretended to sleep on it to try the stability.

Her funny look amused Simon, who was standing behind.

In the past, Jessica had a stiff face all day and looked pensive. It was rare to see such an interesting side of her.

Oliver glanced at Simon, and the latter immediately covered his mouth.

The boss stepped forward and asked, "Madam, what do you think?"

"This one is good. Do you have any other types?"

Perhaps it was a person's nature to make comparisons while shopping.

Jessica knew that men generally didn't like to go shopping with women. Maybe he was no exception, so she said to Oliver, "Are you bored? Why don't you wait outside with Simon first?"

It was she who wanted to shop here. Oliver was not interested in these at all. If it weren't for her, he probably wouldn't have come here for the rest of his life.

Oliver said, "If you're interested in these, you can spend more time here. You can buy anything you like."

Then the boss realized that Oliver was a big buyer today, so he immediately asked the shop assistant to serve him.

Jessica glanced at Oliver and thought to herself, 'Are you stupid? You are also a businessman. Why are you so reckless? It was just a waste of money.'

"You can go out for tea first. I can shop myself. I feel uncomfortable when you're following me all the time."

Oliver glanced at Simon.

Simon said, "Mr. Williams, let's go outside first. Otherwise, Madam won't enjoy her shopping."

Oliver had never gone shopping with a woman. According to Simon, women seemed to have this common habit, so he turned around and went out.

Simon continued, "According to the news that I have seen, many shopping malls have specially arranged a place for men to rest. They call it the husband's depository. There're such places in our group's shopping malls."

Oliver was confused to hear that. It seemed that going shopping with one's wife was never an easy thing. But that was an awful stereotype.

The shop assistant took Oliver into an elegant tea room to drink tea. The place was exclusive to VIP guests.

Jessica chatted with the boss as she looked around. Besides drawing tables, there was a lot of antique furniture inside. She was also fascinated by it as the place was similar to her grandpa's collection room and she found a familiar feeling.

After a while, other guests came in.

Jessica saw a couple of great age differences. The woman held the man's arm and they looked very intimate. Jessica didn't have the nerve to take another look.

She didn't want to delay the boss's business, so she stopped looking around and planned to buy the painting table and leave soon.

"Sir, how much is it?" Jessica pointed to the drawing table and asked.

At this moment, the woman who had just come in walked to Jessica's side, looked up and down, sneered, and said, "Can you afford it?"
