Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 48

Jessica looked up and down at her and said calmly, "You want to cook by yourself? Don't you have a kitchen in your yard?"

"I'm really bored in the backyard alone. I happen to have nothing to do now. If you want anything, just tell me. I just baked Mr. Williams a whole-wheat bread. When it's done, I'll slice it up and send it upstairs to you."

"No need. I don't have the luck to enjoy."

Just now, Jessica was quite hungry. But when Jessica suddenly saw Tina, she completely lost all of her appetites. Then, Jessica went back upstairs to lie down.

Tina called Nanny Winnie to the kitchen. "My sister came to the kitchen just now. She must be hungry. Do you want to bring her some food?"

Nanny Winnie was afraid that Jessica would think she was cold-shouldered, so she called Jessica.

Tina listened to Nanny Winnie as she asked Jessica whether she wanted to eat porridge or bread, and an evil smile appeared on Tina's face.

Nanny Winnie began to cook porridge in the kitchen. Tina was waiting for the bread to be well prepared. Tina moved to the stove and helped Nanny Winnie stir the porridge. While Nanny Winnie was not paying attention to her, Tina poured the medicine into the porridge. This time, she only used one-third of the volume she had used last time. Then she quickly stirred the porridge with a spoon.

Tina nervously put the spoon aside and pretended that nothing had happened. She ran to the oven and looked at her bread. "Nanny Winnie, I'm becoming more skilled in making bread, right?"

Nanny Winnie smiled and said, "Yes, you are much better than us."

Tina was overjoyed and thought that Oliver would like it.

Nanny Winnie got a bowl of porridge and took it upstairs.

Since Jeff knew about his granddaughter-in-law's pregnancy, he took out a jar of his own collection of the best dried orange peel which was collected a hundred years ago. The orange peel had the effect of relieving abdominal pain and preventing pregnant women from vomiting. There were no female elders in the family. But as the grandpa, he couldn't leave his granddaughter-in-law alone. So he asked Lambert to send the gift to GrandVille Apartments.

Lambert drove to GrandVille Apartments. Ever since Shank let Lambert come in last time, Oliver had ordered Shank not to open the door for Lambert again.

However, when he heard that the Old Master of the Williams Family asked Lambert to send something over, he couldn't make the decision himself. Now, Oliver was not here. So, Butler Shank had to call Jessica.

Jessica had just eaten a bowl of porridge. Then, she ran to the bathroom and vomited almost everything she had just eaten out. Now, her morning sickness was getting worse.

The phone in the room kept ringing. Today, she had been answering the phone all day. She was very whiny. Picking up the phone, she heard the voice of Butler Shank.

"Madam, Mr. Lambert Williams is outside the door now. Do you want him to come in?"

"Let Young Master receive him."

"Madam, I called to ask you because Young Master is not here."

Jessica hesitated for a moment. "Then let him come into the living room."

Jessica went to the cloakroom to change. Looking at her tired face in the mirror, she put on a little makeup to make herself not look so sick.

Lambert entered the living room and saw a woman sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. Lambert thought it was Jessica and just said, "Jessica."

However, when the woman holding the newspaper showed her face, Lambert found that it was not the woman that he knew.

"Sorry, who are you?" Lambert asked politely.
