Oliver didn't expect that Simon would arrange for Jasmine to come over.
He looked at the time, and it was getting late. If he looked for someone else at this time, it would be too late, so he gave up.
By the way, Oliver also wanted to see if Roy could accept women other than Jane.
Jasmine knew that Oliver had a son, but she had never seen him before. So she went to a toy store and bought a transformer.
Little boys usually like transformers, she thought.
Jasmine got everything ready before he drove off.
When she arrived in the GrandVille Apartments, Oliver and Roy were at the door and talked to each other.
Jasmine got out of the car nervously.
"Mr. Williams. Sorry to have kept you waiting." Jasmine smiled.
She glanced at Roy and said with a smile, "Are you Roy? It's my first time meeting you. My name is Jasmine."
After Jasmine finished speaking, she reached out a hand and wanted to shake hands with Roy.
Seeing this, Oliver said in a low voice, "Let's get in the car first. It's getting late. We'll be back soon."
Jasmine took the hint and took her hand back.
When they got into the car, Jasmine took out the transformer from the passenger seat and handed it to Roy. "Do you like it?"
But Roy did not take it or speak.
Oliver knew his son well. Roy would not talk to strangers easily, nor would he accept gifts from strangers.
Only then did Oliver say, "Thank you for your gift."
Oliver took the gift and handed it to Roy.
Only then did Roy receive the gift.
He was quietly playing with the toys in his hand.
Jasmine, on the contrary, told Oliver some interesting things about University A from time to time.
Oliver listened as if he had seen Jessica when she was studying at the school.
He was wondering what she looked like at school.
He had seen a photo of Jessica at school when they had just gotten married.
One day, when he returned to the room, he saw Jessica sitting on the window with the cell phone in her hand and suddenly laughing happily.
Just as Jessica saw him and hid in the bathroom, he walked to the window and accidentally saw the photo on Jessica's phone.
In the photo, she smiled so beautifully, like a blooming hibiscus.
That was a different person from the one who had a stiff face all day in the GrandVille Apartments.
Oliver's thoughts had drifted away.
As Jasmine spoke, she looked at the abstracted Oliver in the rearview mirror.
Jasmine knew that Oliver seemed to keep a distance from other women deliberately over the years. There was only Jessica in his mind.
It was only after Jessica died that she understood.
She was a student in the same class as Jessica. When she talked about her story at University A, it was also about what Jessica had experienced when she was in school.
Jasmine didn't want to take it seriously with a dead person.
No matter how much Oliver loved her, she no longer existed in this world.
After her father, Tom, died, Jasmine learned the whole truth and knew that Jessica was the reason why she was sent abroad to work.
His father was shot in Bali Island because he was there to save Jessica.
She didn't expect that Jessica, the colleague who had been by her side, was the woman the Williams brothers were fighting over.
Back then, she was still staring at Oliver infatuatedly in front of Jessica.
