Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 169

A few days after Jessica had moved in, guests visited here.

She was sunbathing in the yard at that time when she saw an elegant middle-aged woman walking towards her. Amy followed her.

Amy led the woman to Jessica and said, "Miss White, this is Mr. Williams's mother, Vicky Larner."

Jessica had never heard Lambert mention his mother before. All she knew was that Lambert grew up with Jeff at the Old Residence.

Jessica looked at the woman in front of her and found that she must be very beautiful when she was young.

No wonder Lambert's father couldn't forget her for such a long time that he has been holding a secret relationship with her even after he had got married.

Telling from her exquisite and luxurious clothes, she knew that Lambert's father treated this woman well materially.

Jessica stood up and nodded to her, "Glad to see you."

She stared at Jessica and then gave Jessica a strange and thorough look. "You are Jessica?"

Jessica nodded. "I am."

Vicky turned around, glanced at her, and said, "Let's talk inside."

Jessica followed her and walked into the living room.

As soon as they came in, Vicky sat directly in the main seat.

Jessica had to stand by. After a few seconds, it seemed that Vicky had no intention to allow Jessica to sit down.

Just as she was about to sit, Vicky said, "I'm the elder here. I haven't asked you to sit down yet."

Jessica was just about to sit. At Vicky's words, she sat directly on the sofa instead, adjusted herself to a comfortable position, and leaned on the back of the sofa.

"I'm being polite because you are older than me," Jessica said.

Vicky's face was livid with anger at Jessica's words.

"Amy, serve the tea," Vicky said sharply, trying to set some rules for them.

Amy immediately replied, "Yes, Mrs. Williams."

When Jessica heard that Amy was calling her Mrs. Williams, she guessed that it was actually proclaimed by herself.

She remembered that Oliver's father had never divorced Maggie. How did this woman get the title of Mrs. Williams?

"How many months have you been pregnant?" Vicky asked coldly.

"Only a few months." Jessica didn't want to share anything more with Vicky about her personal affairs.

"I heard from Lambert that he will be responsible to the child in your belly, so he brought you here to have rest."

"I'm not quite sure about it. You'd better ask Lambert." Jessica said.

At this moment, Amy came up with tea. "Mrs. Williams, please have some tea."

"Leave us alone," Vicky said. She pretended to be the hostess in the house, which made Jessica surprised.

"I heard you and Oliver had a short marriage." Vicky began to get down to business.

Jessica remained silent and started to drink tea.

Jessica sneered. Vicky was really an expert in making unfounded countercharges. It was she who didn't respect Jessica first. Now she laid all the blames on Jessica.

"Well, I have no time drinking tea with you." Jessica stood up and returned to her room.

Vicky was left sitting alone in the living room furiously.

When Vicky met Daniel, the Williams family did not enjoy the current status and wealth.

Later, for the development of the Williams family, Jeff broke them up and let Daniel marry a girl in the famous Mellis family in Birmingham.

She had always been an outsider, even after giving birth to Lambert. She was never recognized as a member of the Williams family even after Oliver's mother had died.

In the past, in finding the best way to Daniel's heart, she had been trying her best to do everything to please him.

She had always been proud of her son who had grown up and become an outstanding man. Now, a woman who did not care about her at all was going to steal her son away. She was really annoyed.

Jessica stayed in her room all day. Out of sight and out of mind.

In order to relieve her boredom, she began to knit. She started to knit a little scarf for the child in her belly.

She brought these knitting tools from her previous home. Now they perfectly helped her to kill time.

In the evening, Lambert came back very late.

He went into Jessica's room and found that she was knitting. He noticed that she was grim-faced.

Soon, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so clever and could learn to do anything."

Jessica said tonelessly, "I can't even get out of the door. I'm just having fun."
