Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 90

After getting out of the car, she felt that it was cold outside.

Although the weather in Lambola City was cold, it was dry. It was much more comfortable than the wet and cold weather in Birmingham.

After checking in, Jessica immediately fell asleep on the bed. She was still in a daze until night and didn't want to get up, but her stomach was growling so hard that she struggled to get up. It was already past 8 pm.

She was staying in a small hotel. At this time, it had already passed dinner time, so she asked the lady at the front desk whether there was a place to eat.

The receptionist told her that there was a food stall nearby, 300 meters south.

Night fell and all the lights were on.

Jessica walked down the street and thought of Birmingham at night, which should also be like this. Usually, at this time, she had already gone home from work and had dinner.

It was only a few days, and she had become a member of the people displaced from their homes. She was really homesick, but she had no home in Birmingham. Only her grandma was still there.

When she thought of that, tears began to flow unconsciously.

It was much colder at night than it was during the day. The howling cold wind quickly blew away the tears and her face was full of tears. Jessica wiped her face with the corner of her clothes. She told herself to be strong.

Soon, she saw the food stalls ahead, surrounded by blue and white striped plastic canopies. Many people came here to eat at night, and there were steams everywhere.

Jessica went into a stall nearby to sit down and ordered a bowl of beef noodles.

Perhaps it was not to her taste. When she took her first bite, she felt that the taste was far worse than the noodles she had usually eaten. Perhaps she was too hungry. She had walked so far to eat, so she didn't bother to go to another food stall. After eating the bowl of noodles reluctantly, she felt her whole body immediately warming up.

On her way back, there were suddenly a lot fewer people on the street. Just as she was about to arrive at the hotel, a shadow flashed by and robbed the small bag on her body. The strap of her bag broke quickly. Before she could react, the shadow had already disappeared.

Only then did Jessica realize that she had met a thief. There was not much cash in it, but her documents were all in that bag.

She reacted immediately and began to run after him.

Just as she was about to catch up with the thief, she bumped into a man walking out of the hotel garage. She said sorry and wanted to run forward, but the man caught her.

Jessica was out of breath and her eyes were fixed on the thief running in front of her. She didn't even look at the man and said, "Sir, I'm chasing the thief. Please let go of me. Wait for me here. I'll apologize to you later."

No matter how hard she struggle, she couldn't shake off the man's arm. Then she turned to look at the man. "It's you? Why are you here?"

"Jessica, long time no see."

Jessica had no time to reminisce with him and said anxiously, "Vincent, my bag was stolen by the thief in front of me. Can you help me chase him? All my important documents are inside."

"Why are you chasing? Just apply for duplicates later."

Jessica was so angry at his words that her stomach hurt. He didn't help her but delayed her time. The thief would have run away long ago.

Unexpectedly, Vincent sneered. "Jessica, when Tina told me that you liked telling a lie, I didn't believe it. But now you're actually making up such a ridiculous story about having my child. I haven't slept with you before. How could you have my child?"

"What did you say?" Jessica was sweating and her face was pale.

Vincent felt that Jessica was indeed sick.

"I said I've never slept with you. How could you have my child? Isn't that clear enough? For the sake of our past relationship, I'll send you to the hospital, but don't tell a lie in the future."

Vincent asked the staff at the garage door to drive out the car, picked up Jessica, and put her in the back seat. He got into the driver's seat and drove to the hospital.

Jessica was still pondering Vincent's words in the back seat.

"Vincent." Jessica said faintly, "The night before your engagement, I was with you, right?"

Vincent was driving, shocked by her words, and almost hit the car ahead. "The night before the engagement, I was with Tina. When did I have sex with you?"

Jessica's mind was buzzing with pain. What exactly happened? It was clear that Tina gave her the room card that night and told her that Vincent would come to her. After she entered the room, the man inside was already taking a shower. If it wasn't Vincent, who was it?

Jessica thought about it in fear.

She still couldn't believe it and asked again, "Vincent, are you sure you remember correctly?"
