Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 298

For a moment, Oliver did not understand who was the aunt that Roy was talking about.

After a few seconds, he remembered that the only woman who had recently come to see Roy was Jane.

How could Jane remember that woman?

But since his son asked, he had to answer.

"That aunt is busy. She's not a native of Birmingham. She might have left here and returned to her hometown."

"When will auntie come to our house again?"

Oliver had never seen Roy be interested in other people and have so many questions.

Today was the day when Roy talked to him the most.

Most of the topics were related to that woman.

It made Oliver a little uncomfortable.

However, seeing that his son had begun to ask him questions, he had no choice but to listen.

When Roy heard Oliver say that Jane was not in Birmingham, his expression immediately turned gloomy.

Oliver was afraid that Roy would be sad, so he said, "I will tell you as soon as I hear from that aunt in the future, okay?"

Roy returned to his room disappointedly.

He picked up his brush and began to draw the image of Jane he had seen that day.

First, he drew the image of her sitting on the ground, then he added Jane's image into the picture which he had painted before. It was a picture of Oliver and him.

Oliver came over to bathe Roy and saw the painting he was drawing.

He was a little astonished.

Roy had never painted another woman before. How could he quietly add a woman's image into the painting?

He thought that Roy's relationship with Tina had improved, probably because he had gone too far at night and felt guilty.

"Roy, who are you drawing?" Oliver asked deliberately.

"It is the aunt who came to see me last time."

Oliver immediately regretted bringing Jane home that day.

Roy was still a child and did not know how to tell the difference. He did not know what Jane had said to Roy when she came that day.

He didn't expect that he would be deceived one day. It was mainly because that he was too eager to find a good doctor for his son.

Oliver thought that in the future, he couldn't let Roy know anything about Jane.

He didn't know if Jane had left. He hoped that after this exhibition, Jane would never come to Birmingham again.

[...]

Marina had been lying in the hospital recuperating, but Jason couldn't accompany her every day.

Jason still had work to do in the company.

Now the company's business, after the last blow, began to shrink.

In the past, when the company was booming and made a lot of money, it blindly expanded the scale and recruited a lot of people.

Now, all the staff of the company was waiting for the boss to change the current situation quickly.

The atmosphere in the company was very bad and full of complaints. Previously, under Marina's leadership, the company had attained great achievements under working overtime and staying up late. Now, the mission was shelved because of Marina's injury.

Jason struggled every day to deal with the affairs in the company.

He really had no choice. He wanted to ask Tina to seek help from Oliver. He wanted the subsidiary company under the Williams Group to split some projects and let the White Group do it.

Tina initially disagreed because she knew that Oliver didn't value her, and now it was for the sake of Roy that he cared about her.
