Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 259

When Jessica arrived at QN Town, it was already night.

Jessica was observing the surroundings along the way. QN Town was a picturesque small town with dainty bridges and green rivers, and the air was clean too.

Compared to the small town in her memory, it didn't have changed much.

The car stopped at the entrance of a small yard.

"Miss, this is my aunt's house." Lorry said.

Jessica got out of the car. Lorry had already taken her suitcase out of the car.

He helped her carry the suitcase and knocked on the door of the yard.

Then a white-haired old man opened the door.

"Lorry, girl, come in quickly." The old lady said.

Jessica saw that the old lady was about the same age as grandma. And she heard Lorry calling her Lillian, so she followed, "Hello, Lillian."

"Good girl, come on in."

Jessica followed them into the living room.

"Girl, you must be hungry after sitting in the car for so long. We don't have as much delicious food in the countryside as in the city. I made some home-cooked food. Take a break and I'll bring the dishes up."

The old lady said to Lorry again, "Are you still going back to the city today? Do you want to have dinner here?"

"No, I won't eat here today. I have to go home."

After he finished speaking, he left, leaving only Jessica and Lillian.

Jessica was embarrassed. She was only a future tenant, but the old lady was so hospitable.

"Let me help you."

Jessica went into the kitchen and helped her put the dishes on the table.

"Girl, let's eat first. As we eat, we talk. I, an old woman, have been cooped up at home all day. I don't even have someone to talk to. It's great that you're here."

As Lorry said, she probably lived alone for too long and was too lonely.

"Thank you, Lillian. Sorry for causing you trouble. I'm going to stay here for a while. I think Lorry has already told you."

Lorry had mentioned it on the phone before, and Jessica heard it clearly.

"No problem. The house is so big. I can't wait for someone to live here."

Lillian was hospitable.

"Girl, what's your name?"

Only then did Jessica remember that she hadn't introduced herself to the old lady.

"Jessica White. You can call me Jessica." She said.

"Mmm, a nice name matches a beautiful lady," Lillian said in delight as if she had found a treasure. She kept staring at her, forgetting to eat.

Jessica was probably too hungry to care too much, so she wolfed the food down.

Lillian's home-cooked dishes were fantastic.

She had been tired of the food in the hotel for a long time. And now, the taste of the home-cooked food gave her a good appetite.

Jessica was embarrassed and said, "Lillian, eat please."

"Girl, you can eat more if you like. Make here your own home. I suppose Lorry have told you that I don't have any relatives either. And I naturally feel close to young people."

"Thank you, Lillian."

After dinner, she took Jessica to her room.

She had tidied up the guest room once she heard that someone was moving in.
