Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 40

Sally went to the bathroom and asked Jessica, "Why did you come out to eat with the three men? Fortunately, Lambert had something to do and didn't come to the appointment. Otherwise, it would be too buzzy."

Jessica saw that Sally was repeatedly trying to set her up with Lambert, so she said quickly, "Sally, I'm married."

Sally's eyes suddenly widened. "I always thought Lambert and you..."

"He is a friend I've just known."

"Does he know you're married?"

"Yes."

"Congratulations."

Jessica's abdomen would be obvious soon, so it would be found out by others by then. Now she confessed directly, lest it would be more awkward to be found out in the future.

After going back home, Jessica felt that she was a little uncomfortable. It took her a long time to fall asleep.

Fortunately, Oliver didn't come back with her at night. She was free to toss and turn in bed now.

When she opened her eyes in the morning, her mind was still in a daze. Noticing the man closely next to her, she suddenly sobered up completely. She didn't know when Oliver came back last night.

Jessica put on her clothes and went downstairs.

"Madam, you wake up so early. Why don't you take more rest?" Nanny Daisy's words implied an apology for waking her up in the middle of the night.

Jessica smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'll just sleep a little longer at noon."

"Madam, do you want to have breakfast now?"

"No need. I want to take a walk in the garden."

When Jessica woke up in the morning, Oliver was already awake. He didn't get up until Jessica went downstairs.

Oliver sat alone at the dining table for breakfast. Nanny Daisy said beside him, "Young master, I don't think madam has a good appetite recently. Shall we ask the doctor to take a look at her?"

"I'll arrange it."

Nanny Daisy also found something strange about Jessica, but she didn't dare to say it directly. She reminded Oliver to care more about Jessica. She guessed that Jessica was pregnant. If Jessica had a child with Oliver, the GrandVille Apartments would be lively in the future. After they had a child, the relationship between them would be much better than now. Thinking of this, Nanny Daisy smiled.

Daisy was a personal servant brought by Oliver's mother. She had never been married in her life. She had watched Oliver grow up and naturally cared about him wholeheartedly.

Just as Daisy was talking to Oliver, she saw Jessica coming back. She immediately said, "Madam, you're back. Do you want breakfast now?"

Jessica didn't expect Oliver to be up already. She walked around the river and came back. She wanted to go to the hospital after breakfast to avoid meeting Oliver.

She couldn't refuse again, so she had to agree. "OK."

Jessica sat at the table and ate breakfast quietly. The atmosphere was a little strange. The two of them had not spoken since they had a quarrel last night.

After breakfast, Jessica went upstairs to change clothes. Just as she took off her clothes, Oliver went straight into the cloakroom.

Jessica put her pajamas in front of herself to block her body. "I'm changing. Can you go out?"

"I've seen you all over. Why are you making a fuss?"
