Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 41

Jessica had been in a good mood recently. Since Oliver had accepted the fact that she was pregnant, she didn't need to hide it anymore. Especially Nanny Daisy, when she learned the good news, she began to plan the pregnant women's diet for her.

Nanny Daisy made different kinds of delicious food for her every day, which made Jessica get plump.

Oliver also asked the chauffeur to drive Jessica to work every day, and she was very grateful to him for that. She gradually began to think that Oliver was not a bad person. But...

One day, Jessica was strolling in the backyard after dinner.

In addition to the main house where she and Oliver lived, there were two wing houses in the backyard. Since there were workers bustling about the west wing, Jessica went over curiously to see what was going on, and it turned out the west wing was being decorated.

Jessica wondered if there would be someone else moving in. Apart from the people from the old Williams' mansion, she knew none of the other relatives of the Williams Family, nor had she ever heard Daisy mention anyone.

Jessica looked at the furnishings inside, which were to women's liking.

Oliver had been excessively kind to her recently.

'Is he going to have a mistress at home?'

In fact, that woman was not much of "a mistress", because her marriage with Oliver was a deal, to begin with, and it could be ended at any time.

'This is good anyway.'

Jessica hoped that Oliver and that woman would end up being together so that she could leave with ease.

When Jessica came back, she happened to meet Nanny Daisy.

"Daisy, is someone going to move in the west wing?"

Nanny Daisy looked a little flustered and stammered, "Madam, I... I don't know much about this."

"Alright, it's okay."

It seemed that the fact was pretty much as she expected.

Jessica planned to wait for Oliver to bring it up himself, while she acted as if she knew nothing of it.

After having dinner at home, Jessica was strolling about, which was a new habit she developed. Unconsciously, she walked to the west wing in the backyard.

This time, Jessica heard a woman talking inside. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard a familiar voice coming from behind.

"Sister, why are you leaving?"

Jessica turned around and saw Tina, stunned. "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here? This was supposed to be my home. It's you who took my place." Tina turned to the servant and said, "Go get some tea and snacks. I want to chat with my sister."

At this moment, Jessica saw that it was Nanny Daisy whom Tina was talking to.

Nanny Daisy was also embarrassed. "Madam, the young master asked me to come over to help."

Jessica's face turned pale all of a sudden.

'What happened? Why is Tina moving in GrandVille Apartments, while the others seemed to have known it long ago?'

When Nanny Daisy came out with the tea, Jessica had already left the backyard and back to the bedroom.

Jessica recalled the encounter between Tina and Oliver, and the one she knew was when they were in Fox Mountain Residence. At that time, Tina took Oliver's room card, claiming that she would get him back. Seemingly, Tina had put her words into practice.

Then Jessica thought of the other day when she met Marina and Tina in the mall. Apparently, there was more to it than what they said then. It seemed that they had long made a plan to move in.

Jessica paced back and forth in the room, thinking about this messy relationship.

'Then what about Vincent? Did Tina really dump him? Highly likely. Vincent deserves it.'
