Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 289

Jane followed Oliver up to the second floor.

Oliver took her to the study he had used before and asked her to wait there for a moment.

She looked around and found that there was basically no change for this room except for those things

in common use.

Jane didn't have the courage to act recklessly here. She just sat quietly and waited for Oliver to come

back.

Oliver went to Roy's room on the second floor and saw him sitting at the table and drawing. The papers

were scattered all over the floor.

He arranged the paper in order gently.

"Roy, someone will come to see your paintings later, okay?"

Roy ignored Oliver and was drawing.

"If you don't answer my question, I'll take it as a Yes." Oliver gently patted him on the back.

Roy hated to be touched by others, except for Oliver.

When Roy was slight conscious, he refused the servants at home to help him bathe.

At that time, the babysitter had no choice but to asked Tina for help. But that didn't stop Roy from

yelling and crying.

Roy had been a demanding child since he was a baby.

So Oliver had to help Roy take a shower every day.

He also tried to reduce the chances of business trip for Roy.

If he really had to go on a business trip, he would take Roy with him.

In the past few years, he had learned to sacrifice so that Roy could live a better life.

With the permission of Roy, Oliver went to the study next door and asked Jane to go with him.

However, the smell of her was too pungent.

When they were in the car earlier, Oliver had asked Simon to open all the windows because of her

smell.

He was afraid that the smell of Jane would be harmful to Roy.

Oliver said in a calm voice, "Jane, I have a request and I hope you could understand. Could you please

take a shower first?"

Jane was shocked.

Not knowing what Oliver meant, she was worried.

Could it be that Oliver had deliberately tricked her to his house instead of asking her to check on his

son? He wouldn't have known her identity within such a short time, would he?

Oliver saw the panic on Jane's face and said, "Miss Kim, I didn't mean anything bad. I didn't know if

you have a child and whether or not you could understand my feelings. But as a father, I had to take

everything into consideration for the safety of my son. With all due respect, you smell too bad. I'm

afraid it's not good for the respiratory system of my child."

Jane didn't expect that she had to take a shower and change her clothes before meeting Roy.

It would have been fine if Oliver didn't ask about her child. But he mentioned that in particular, which

was like a sharp sword directly targeting at her.

Oliver's child could be treated well like this, but her own baby died without any apparent reason.

Jane quickly calmed down.

"Then I might come and visit another day." She said.

"You don't have to. I had already asked the servant to prepare some clothes for you. And you can tell

me when you're ready."

What he said did not make Jane feel at ease. Instead, she remained even more vigilant.

It would be quite risky to change clothes at Oliver's place.

If she had known that Oliver would directly bring her here to see Roy, she wouldn't have worn such a

smelly perfume.

"That's not appropriate. I..."

Before Jane could finish her words, someone knocked on the door of the study.

Oliver said, "Come in."

A middle-aged lady pushed the door and entered the room. It was Nanny Daisy. Jane didn't expect that

among all the people she knew, Nanny Daisy was the one who had changed the most in the past five

years.

Nanny Daisy obviously looked much older.

The expression on Jane's face changed slightly. She was afraid of being noticed, so she turned away

and avoided looking at Nanny Daisy.

"Mr. Williams, everything is ready." Nanny Daisy said.

Then Nanny Daisy walked up to Jane and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Miss Kim."

Jane was in a dilemma.

She didn't know what to do and said to Oliver, "Mr. Williams, I hope you won't be there when I check

Roy later. I'm afraid that your presence might affect my judgment."

Oliver knew what she meant. After all, it was somewhat inconvenient for a woman to stay in the house

of a total stranger.

I'll stay in the other study until you finish your diagnosis.

Jane followed Nanny Daisy to the bathroom of the guest room. Nanny Daisy then put the clothes for

her and said, "Miss Kim, you can call me if you need anything."

"Thank you, Nanny Daisy." Jane said.

Nanny Daisy paused. She was wondering why Jane knew about her since she didn't introduce herself

when she went into the study. Moreover, Oliver didn't call her name.

After Jane finished speaking, she realized that she shouldn't have called Nanny Daisy by her name.

Nanny Daisy turned around to look at her again.

"Miss Kim, do you know who I am?"

"Mr. Williams told me earlier to look for Nanny Daisy if I ever anything."

She knew that Nanny Daisy wouldn't go to Oliver for confirmation because of what she said.

Jane took the clothes that Nanny Daisy had prepared and asked, "This seems to be the clothes of Mrs.

Williams, right? Why didn't I see her here?"

To hide her embarrassment, she had to gossip about some random questions.

It seemed that for any woman who entered Oliver's house, she was more or less curious about his

marital status. If Jane showed no curiosity at all, it would be noticed by Nanny Daisy as quite odd.

"Mrs. Williams had passed away." Nanny Daisy said.

"Oh, then Roy was such a poor kid since he lost his mother so early."

"No, Mrs. Williams was not the mother of Roy."

Jane knew that Nanny Daisy referred to Tina when she talked about Roy's mother.

Nanny Daisy was afraid that Jane would feel uncomfortable because of these clothes, so she added,

"Every year Mr. Williams would have someone send over new clothes of this brand, so these are all

brand new. Miss Kim, I hope you wouldn't mind that since time was limited."

Jane knew this clothing brand, which was prepared by Oliver in the past.

She didn't expect that he continued to do so after the death of Jessica.

He did so probably to pretend that he was an affectionate person.

For rich people, anything that can be solved with money does not seem to be a problem. They would

do anything to feel less guilty.

Jane said, "It's okay. I believe in science the most and I'm not superstitious at all."

She had never imagined to come back to this room again. The only suitcase she had used to be thrown

in this room.

She walked around the room before entering the bathroom.

Jane removed her makeup and saw herself in the mirror. She seemed to have completely accepted her

brand new appearance.

She almost forgot what Jessica used to look like.

It was only when she saw Tina that day that she recalled her previous appearance.

Jane changed her clothes and called Nanny Daisy to ask her about Roy's room. Then she warned that

nobody should get closer to her room.

She wanted to make sure that no one else could see her after removing the makeup.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
