Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 289

Jane followed Oliver up to the second floor.

Oliver took her to the study he had used before and asked her to wait there for a moment.

She looked around and found that there was basically no change for this room except for those things in common use.

Jane didn't have the courage to act recklessly here. She just sat quietly and waited for Oliver to come back.

Oliver went to Roy's room on the second floor and saw him sitting at the table and drawing. The papers were scattered all over the floor.

He arranged the paper in order gently.

"Roy, someone will come to see your paintings later, okay?"

Roy ignored Oliver and was drawing.

"If you don't answer my question, I'll take it as a Yes." Oliver gently patted him on the back.

Roy hated to be touched by others, except for Oliver.

When Roy was slight conscious, he refused the servants at home to help him bathe.

At that time, the babysitter had no choice but to asked Tina for help. But that didn't stop Roy from yelling and crying.

Roy had been a demanding child since he was a baby.

So Oliver had to help Roy take a shower every day.

He also tried to reduce the chances of business trip for Roy.

If he really had to go on a business trip, he would take Roy with him.

In the past few years, he had learned to sacrifice so that Roy could live a better life.

With the permission of Roy, Oliver went to the study next door and asked Jane to go with him.

However, the smell of her was too pungent.

When they were in the car earlier, Oliver had asked Simon to open all the windows because of her smell.

He was afraid that the smell of Jane would be harmful to Roy.

Oliver said in a calm voice, "Jane, I have a request and I hope you could understand. Could you please take a shower first?"

Jane was shocked.

Not knowing what Oliver meant, she was worried.

Could it be that Oliver had deliberately tricked her to his house instead of asking her to check on his son? He wouldn't have known her identity within such a short time, would he?

Oliver saw the panic on Jane's face and said, "Miss Kim, I didn't mean anything bad. I didn't know if you have a child and whether or not you could understand my feelings. But as a father, I had to take everything into consideration for the safety of my son. With all due respect, you smell too bad. I'm afraid it's not good for the respiratory system of my child."

Jane didn't expect that she had to take a shower and change her clothes before meeting Roy.

It would have been fine if Oliver didn't ask about her child. But he mentioned that in particular, which was like a sharp sword directly targeting at her.

Oliver's child could be treated well like this, but her own baby died without any apparent reason.

Jane quickly calmed down.

"Then I might come and visit another day." She said.

"You don't have to. I had already asked the servant to prepare some clothes for you. And you can tell me when you're ready."

What he said did not make Jane feel at ease. Instead, she remained even more vigilant.

It would be quite risky to change clothes at Oliver's place.

If she had known that Oliver would directly bring her here to see Roy, she wouldn't have worn such a smelly perfume.

"That's not appropriate. I..."

Before Jane could finish her words, someone knocked on the door of the study.
