Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 290

Jane knocked gently on the door of Roy's room, but no one answered.

She just opened the door and came in.

Roy continued to draw without looking at her.

Jane walked to his desk and sat cross-legged.

Instead of saying anything, she picked up the painting which was thrown on the floor, and looked at it.

Every child was born an artist, and Roy's paintings were even more outstanding than those of his peers.

He paints mostly scenes of a young boy and a tall man together.

They were obviously about the parental interaction between Oliver and Roy.

Judging from the paintings, the little boy's ability to express himself was extraordinary, perhaps because he was weaker than his peers in oral speaking.

But his language of painting was colorful.

Jane knew that his condition was only temporary. As long as his family loved him more, he would grow into a normal person in the future.

The two of them sat quietly in the room.

Roy saw Jane when she sat down, but they remained in peace since she didn't mean to talk to him, nor touch him.

The child must have seen a lot of people who would bombard him with questions as soon as they entered the room.

Whether it was the doctor Oliver invited or the servants at home, they all knew that Roy was Oliver's apple of his eye. They did not dare to neglect him at all, and all showed great enthusiasm to him.

Especially Tina. He felt even more uncomfortable every time he saw her smile.

Everyone in the family said that Tina was his mother, and he didn't feel any closer to her, but more disgust.

It was the first time he had seen someone who entered and kept silent.

Roy glared at her with his big innocent eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

No matter how much Jane hated Tina and Oliver, the clarity in the child's eyes made her feel a little ashamed.

She smiled and said, "I'm the one your father invited to treat you, but I don't think you're sick."

"You're smart. I hate those people. They don't even know me, but they treat me like a patient." Roy said.

Jane looked at the child's performance. He was like a normal person if not stimulated.

She wasn't quite worried.

After a few more words, she said, "It seems that you're well indeed, but you need to communicate with other children and participate in group life more."

Roy did not answer.

Jane looked at the time. She had to leave soon.

She stood up and patted Roy on the back as Oliver did. "Come on, little boy. Auntie has expectations on you."

Roy was quite calm, showing no violent reaction as when the strangers touched him before.

He turned his head and stared at Jane.

She walked to the door and waved at him.

As soon as she came out of Roy's room, she quickly went downstairs.

She wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Jane called Vivian in advance and asked her to come to GrandVille Apartments to pick her up.

She didn't want Simon to send her back.

When she inadvertently called out Nanny Daisy, she knew that people were apt to expose flaws in details they less cared about.

Facing Oliver, she was on full alert.

But it was easy for her to let her guard down when dealing with Nanny Daisy or Simon. That was the scariest thing.

Jane was familiar with GrandVille Apartments, so she hardly wasted any time, just walking straight to the gate.

When she arrived, she saw Butler Shank.
