Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 270

Jessica and Lucas walked all the way down the street near the canal to the open-air market.

There were many people shopping in the market. What interested Jessica was the flowers sold here, which were rather beautiful.

There were countless kinds of tulips.

Many people bought several bouquets of tulips in brown paper, which would look very beautiful when they made flower arrangement at home.

Lucas found that Jessica seemed to be very interested in the flower stand. So he said to her, "The Keukenhof Garden is about to open. I'll take you to visit the sea of tulips."

Jessica said with a smile, "Okay, thank you."

Lucas hadn't had time to tell Jessica that one of the Kim family's businesses in Europe was about flowers.

However, there were plenty of opportunities to tell her in the future.

Lucas was not interested in those industries of the Kim family.

In the past, Gavin had always expected him to take over the business of the Kim family early, but he was unwilling to do so.

It would be better for him to do whatever he liked, which was a way to both earn money and enjoy liberty.

But he was also afraid that if he did not take over the business in future to make the Kim family decline, he would also bear an overwhelming burden.

Now when Jessica was back to the Kim family,Gavin would not force him to inherit the family business.

Lucas had decided to buy a bouquet of flowers for Jessica. But as he was about to pay the money, he remembered that the doctor had said that she could not get close to the flowers for the time being.

The doctor was afraid that the pollen might cause her skin irritation. It was detrimental to her recovery.

Jessica saw that there were many fish stalls in the market peddling the goods. Although she didn't know about the language, she roughly knew what they were doing.

The family of a few at the fish stall, both old and young, were busy entertaining customers to weigh the goods and receive the money. When they were available, they began to peddle the goods.

That was life.

A family gathered together to make a living and lead a happy life.

She envied them.

In contrast, she lived in a foreign country alone and had to rely on her friends here. And she spent a lot of money on seeing a doctor.

Jessica knew that she spent a large amount of medical cost for the lack of medical insurances.

For the rest of her life, she had to work hard to pay back the Kim family.

When thinking about this point, Jessica became depressed again.

She was getting increasingly sentimental.

Sometimes she didn't want to be this way, but she was often overwhelmed by the black hole of emotions, with no ways to fight against.

Lucas felt something wrong with Jessica.

So he quietly went to the fish stall on one side and bought fried fish to Jessica.

"The fried fish here is delicious. Eat it while it's warm." Lucas said.

Jessica stuck a piece of fish with a fork and put it into her mouth. The fish was tender, fragrant and fresh.

"It's really delicious. What kind of fish is it?" She asked.

"Its Dutch name is kpling, but I don't know how to say it in English."

As they tasted and walked, Jessica suddenly felt a pleasure in shopping.

Then Lucas took her to visit the University of Leiden, which was completely open to the public. The colleges of this university were scattered all over Leiden.

So he wanted to take Jessica to visit the law school first where the queen of Netherlands graduated.

When walking on the way, they met a big cafe.

At that moment, a ragged man suddenly came out of nowhere and walked up to Jessica.

But Jessica was shocked.

Lucas stepped forward and immediately pulled Jessica behind him, saying something to the man in Dutch.

Jessica didn't get him. But she peeked at the disheveled man, who was obviously a Chinese person.
