Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 260

After breakfast, Lillian took Jessica to a nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities.

Jessica didn't know where to go now. After chatting with Lillian for so long, she became more determined to stay in QN Town.

After resting quietly at the house for several days, she felt much more relaxed.

She had been living in depression for a long time. It was good for her to have someone to talk to, as if her grandma was by her side again, bringing her endless warmth.

When she was free, she learned to grow vegetables from her. She wanted to do more work to tire herself out so that she wouldn't think too much and could sleep early in bed every day.

Not long after that, Lillian went to Langwell's house to talk to his wife.

Langwell's wife inadvertently asked, "Why haven't you visited me for a long time?"

"There's a tenant at home. I talk to her and grow vegetables with her every day. I have a lot of things to do, so I didn't visit you for a while." Lillian said.

"A tenant?"

"A young girl." She said, "She's beautiful and nice. If only she were my granddaughter."

Hearing her compliments, Langwell's wife said, "Bring the young girl to my house another day. Only we old people gathered and chatted. I haven't seen young people for a long time."

"I'll go back and ask her. I'll bring her over if she is willing to."

When Lillian went home, she wanted to talk to Jessica about it.

She thought that if Jessica wanted to stay in QN Town for a long time, it would be better to know Langwell's wife as it would be much easier to live here.

The Langwell family was the most powerful family in QN Town.

She entered the courtyard and called for Jessica, but no one answered.

It seemed that she went out by herself.

Then she began to prepare dinner at home, waiting for Jessica to come back and eat together.

In the afternoon, Jessica also went out seeing Lillian go out.

If Lillian was at home, she would always go out with her. She was afraid that she, a young girl, would be bullied.

Jessica went to the place where her grandma took her based on her memory. There was a broken yard there. It seemed that no one had lived there for many years and it was completely deserted.

She circled back and forth there. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, she planned to go back.

Just as she reached a small bridge, she suddenly felt someone following her.

Jessica immediately quickened her pace and wanted to walk towards a crowded place.

But the countryside was bigger and less crowded.

Jessica immediately ran. Fortunately, she recovered well and ran fast.

Just as she was about to get home, at the entrance of the alley, a dark shadow knocked her down.

Jessica went black and immediately lost consciousness.

Lillian waited around at home, but there was no sign of Jessica, she began to panic.

In recent years, although the security of the countryside was much better than before, there were occasional accidents.

She immediately went out to look for Jessica, but she didn't find her.

She had to go to Langwell's house and ask them for help.

Langwell had not been home recently. So his wife was in charge of the family.

When Mrs. Langwell heard that a girl had disappeared in QN Town, she immediately sent her family to look around.
