Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 129

Carl stayed in the room, jet-lagged and unable to sleep at all.

He went down to the first floor and sat on the bar to drink.

Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder. "When did you come back?"

"Alice, why are you here at night?"

"I'm bored. I've been through a lot of trouble lately. My grandpa's not feeling well. Fortunately, he's much better now. I came out to take a breath."

"Is Mr. Zamani getting better now?"

"He's fine now but has to rest more. He can't be angry or emotional."

"I have nothing to do ever since I'm back. I'll visit him another day. I love to hear him talk about his antique collections."

"I didn't expect that you love such traditional things."

"That's right. I'm such a traditional man."

"You are such a talker," Alice ordered a glass of wine and sat beside him. "By the way, I want to ask you something. You have to tell me the truth."

"Just say it."

"Is that Jessica who married Oliver?"

"That's right, aren't you going to bully her again? Oliver won't let you off now."

"How dare I bully her? I used to hate her, so I found fault with her. But I never succeeded. You all protected her."
