Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 251

"What's the name of the girl you're looking for? Do you have any photos? Show them to me." Lan said.

"Her name is Jessica."

After that, Ian took out his phone and showed Jessica's photo to Langwell.

Hearing the name, Langwell twitched the corners of his mouth unnaturally.

The familiar face seemed to bring him back more than 20 years ago.

At that time, Emily suffered the blow of Gavin's departure, coupled with the setbacks in her career, she was almost broke down.

After knowing that she was pregnant, she ran away from home.

In those days, if a woman was pregnant before marrying and didn't get married later, then this woman would face endless rumors throughout her life.

In particular, she was a famous singer at that time. Although she had temporarily broken off the contract with the company, once the news of her pregnancy broke out, it would have the effect of throwing a bomb into the deep water and she would never stand up.

Emily was afraid that if her family knew that she was pregnant and would force her to have an abortion. After all, this incident would disgrace the Youngren family.

So she hid in the countryside.

At that time, Terence sent someone to look for her. Her belly was not obvious. After finding her, he brought her back.

But the good times would not last, she left again.

And she wrote a sincere letter to her family. She wanted to go out and relax. If she stayed at home every day, she would have gone wrong sooner or later.

Terence had long found out that she was not in the right mood, so he agreed with her and let her go to the countryside.

At that time, her sister Zelda occasionally went to the countryside to visit her.

She didn't tell Zelda about her pregnancy. One day, when Zelda came to see her, her belly couldn't be hidden, because the summer was coming and she was wearing fewer clothes.

Although Zelda had been married for several years, she didn't have a child.

To get pregnant, she often went to the hospital and met a lot of women who were preparing for pregnancy, so that after they were pregnant, she often went to learn some experience.

When she saw Emily's slightly bulging belly and a familiar pregnant expression, she understood.

"Emily, are you pregnant?" Zelda asked nervously.

From beginning to end, she knew about what happened between Emily and Gavin.

Now, the Kim family had waned and left Birmingham. If Emily had a baby with Gavin, it meant that Emily would have the label of the unmarried mother and her future would be ruined.

Moreover, if her father, Terence, knew about it, he would not let her go.

At that time, there might be bloody fuss at home.

Knowing that she couldn't hide it, Emily said, "Zelda, I hope you keep it a secret for me."

Zelda held a glimmer of hope. If it weren't Gavin's child, she would have married the father of the child normally, and then gave birth to the child rightfully, which could have been remedied.

But Emily asked her to keep it a secret, it would prove what she was thinking.

"Emily, are you stupid? He dumped you and left. If you had a baby, have you ever thought about how you should live the rest of your life?"

"I want to have the baby."

"Then won't you get married? You don't have a job. How can you support your child? If father finds out this, he will kick you out of the Youngren family."

"Zelda, I've thought about everything you said, but I love him. I promised to give him a child. Although he's not with me now, I want to keep my promise."
