Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 77

Lambert also came to Hayden's studio, but he was a teacher there.

Hayden was getting old, and he was glad to have such an excellent helper. But Lambert only came to the studio on weekends, and if Jessica came, he would come.

And Oliver heard about that.

This woman surprised him again.

One day, at the dinner table, while the three of them were eating quietly, Tina suddenly said, "Sister, I went shopping yesterday and bought some things for the babies. I bought some for your baby too. After the meal, I'll ask Nanny Winnie to send them to your room."

Jessica glanced at her. She didn't know what Tina's real purpose was, so she said coldly, "No, thanks, you can keep them for your baby."

Jessica didn't expect Oliver to allow Tina to go out freely, which made her uneasy. She wasn't worried about Tina's actions, but if Tina could get help from Marina, she might not be able to deal with them. She knew Tina and Marina must have been planning something.

"Mr. Williams, you can't blame me for being selfish. I've bought something for my sister's baby but she refused my kindness." Tina said.

Oliver glared at Jessica, who was eating with her head down. "You don't need to do that. She doesn't deserve your kindness."

Jessica paused. She didn't expect Oliver to say something so harsh to her in front of Tina. She felt humiliated.

But hearing his words, Tina was greatly satisfied. "Mr. Williams, I did that because you asked the butler to pay for my bills with your card, so I think I should buy something for my sister. Mr. Williams, you're so nice. But my sister is not grateful to you at all."

Hearing them echoing each other, Jessica was no longer in the mood to eat anything. She threw the knife and fork to the plate.

As soon as she stood up, she heard Oliver snap, "Sit down."

The atmosphere was frozen. It was the first time that Tina had seen Oliver be so angry.

Jessica was also scared. After they visited her grandma, he really treated her well as he had said to grandma. They had been polite to each other, which made her think that this man had gotten rid of his bad temper. But he became the same Oliver as before.

Jessica knew she would get nothing if she kept going against him, so she had to sit down again.

Tina smiled and said, "Mr. Williams, don't be angry. Let's eat."

Jessica said nothing, just lowered her head and continued eating.

She felt that eating with them was great torture.

After Oliver left, the tense atmosphere began to ease.

Tina laughed smugly. "Jessica, so this is how you and Mr. Williams get along. Has he abused you secretly? Let me see if you have bruises on your body."

Then she reached out to tear Jessica's clothes but was stopped by Jessica. "Take your hand away. Don't dirty my clothes."
