Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 202

When Lambert arrived at the Old Residence, he saw Jeff sitting in the living room, lost in his thoughts.

He knew something must have happened, which made Jeff unhappy.

"Grandpa, I was busy this morning and didn't get your call in time." He smiled and said, "I've heard that you're not feeling well recently. Have you seen a doctor? How are you feeling now?"

Jeff said with a gloomy look, "I'm fine."

"Grandpa, why did you call me over?"

Jeff should have something to say for he specially arranged Hugh to call Lambert over. And it was something that could not be said over the phone, so it was not a small matter.

"How have you been doing in the company lately? It's been quite well?" Jeff asked.

"Thank you for your help, grandpa. I'm completely used to working in the Williams Group now."

Lambert was puzzled by Jeff's question and did not know why he asked such questions.

"I think as you just took charge of the Williams Group, you should focus on your work. What are your plans for your marriage to Jessica?"

Lambert had just planned to talk to his grandfather about the marriage, as his grandfather had only agreed to his marriage with Jessica, but had not decided on the date of the wedding and other arrangements.

He had planned to hold the wedding after Jessica gave birth to the child, but he was afraid that something bad might happen. So the soon, the better.

Of course, Lambert had one more thing to ask Jeff for. He wanted to invite his mother to the wedding, so that his mother's identity would be exposed to public, which meant that the Williams family accepted her.

Lambert felt a little embarrassed to ask. But he thought since Jeff could even agree to his marriage, it shouldn't be difficult to have his mother attend the wedding either.

As long as Jeff agreed, the other people would not say anything about his mother. Then they would put his mother's name into the pedigree of the Williams Family step by step.

Lambert thought all his plan could be realized naturally.

However, he saw his grandpa was a bit unhappy just now.

So he didn't intend to bring up these things first but just waited for Jeff to speak to him.

He hadn't expected Jeff to ask about his marriage.

Lambert swallowed hard and said nervously, "Grandpa, I want to hold the wedding as soon as possible and make Jessica my wife. Our baby will be born soon, and there will be many things to deal with after that, so we might not have time for the wedding then."

"I think it's better not to hurry. There are a lot of things to prepare for the wedding. Jessica is pregnant and shouldn't spend too much energy on that. After the child is born, there's still time for you to prepare for the wedding."

Jeff said as if the wedding was not a big deal. He was extremely regretful that he had allowed Lambert to marry Jessica.

He thought it was stupid of him to let Lambert marry the woman whom Oliver loved before Oliver could stand up and say anything.

Now that he knew what he had done was stupid, he needed to grasp the chance to remedy the situation.

When Lambert heard Jeff say like this, he slightly frowned. He didn't know why his grandpa suddenly changed his mind.

Jeff had been very open-minded before, and he helped Lambert both at the Williams Group and in the stock market.

Now, his attitude was completely different. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

'Could it be that grandpa knows something?'

He thought that his grandfather had been in poor health recently and had no energy to worry about anything else. Jeff even didn't go to the Williams Group but let Lambert manage all the stuff.
