Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 80

Jessica then saw a cold face. The man was standing at the door in a thin shirt.

She said in a low voice, "Why are you standing outside? It's cold."

The man ignored her and walked upstairs.

When they got to the room, Jessica explained, "I came back late because I happened to meet my old

friend and we had dinner together."

Oliver said coldly, "Old friend? A man or a woman?"

"Don't be so sarcastic. I don't know why you're unhappy. Why don't you put it bluntly?

The man walked towards her and smelled her like a dog. "I don't like the smell of alcohol on you. Go

wash yourself."

Jessica didn't want to see his gloomy face, and she went into the bathroom with her bathrobe.

She had been out in the cold wind for a long time and met so many people at night. Lying in the

bathtub, she felt relaxed. Now, the small but warm bathroom completely separated her from the cold

man outside.

She pondered for a long time. Whether she was at the company or at home, her behaviors were

normal. But Oliver treated her in a way that was the same as she had just moved into GrandVille

Apartments.

She had just felt her future would be brighter, but the hope was gone again.

Lying in the bathtub, she didn't want to go out at all. She wondered what was waiting for her.

After the bath, Jessica dried her hair and then cleaned up every corner of the bathroom. She was afraid

that Oliver would nitpick about the details when he came in to take a shower.

When she walked out, she saw Oliver coming in from outside. They looked at each other and then

Jessica looked away, pretending to be calm. "It's getting late. Go to bed early."

She went to the other side of the bed and was about to lie down, but she heard a cold voice coming

from her head. "Why, you've enjoyed a good time outside and immediately go to bed after coming

back? You think my home is a hotel?"

Oliver approached her and said. "Tell me, where did you go today?"

"I've told you that I had dinner with my old friends."

Her tone became impatient.

Of course, she also felt guilty because she did spend most of her time with Lambert today. Oliver was

quite suspicious, and she didn't want to irritate him, so she didn't tell him that.

Oliver untied Jessica's pajamas. His eyes fixed on her body as if he was searching for something,

which made Jessica scared.

"Oliver, what are you doing?"

"I want to check if there are any marks on you."

Jessica grabbed the quilt and tried to cover her body. "Are you insane? Please don't insult me."

The man pulled the quilt off her.

Oliver's eyes were bloodshot, and the dark light in his eyes frightened her. He seemed to be about to

devour her.

Jessica shrank involuntarily. She knew that her struggle was useless. After sleeping with him so many

times, she knew very well how dominating the man was.

Oliver clearly knew that he couldn't enter her body, for fear of hurting her and the baby. He just wanted

to scare her.

Jessica pleaded in Oliver's ear, "Oliver, please, stop."

But the man didn't stop at all and kept kissing her neck as if he hadn't heard her.

Jessica was trying to push him away, but she was too weak.

Tears welled up in Jessica's eyes, and then they wetted the pillow. She was sobbing uncontrollably.

Oliver knew that was enough, so he moved away from her and left the room.

Jessica managed to get up from the bed, walked straight to the cloakroom, grabbed some clothes and

put them on, and then went downstairs.

She didn't want to be here for a single moment. She didn't know whether Oliver would be able to

control himself next time. She had to leave here as soon as possible.

It was still snowy outside, and the surroundings were quiet. The servants were sleeping. Jessica didn't

know what time it was in the morning. It was still dark outside. Only rows of street lamps lit up the way

for her.

Jessica staggered out of GrandVille Apartments.

The next day, Oliver went to work early.

Nanny Winnie did not see Jessica come down to eat, so she went upstairs and knocked on her door.

No one answered, and she did not dare to disturb her. It was not until it was time for the servants to

clean up that they found Jessica was not in the room.

Nanny Winnie called Oliver, "Young master, did madam go to work early today? We haven't seen her

since morning."

"I see."

Oliver was in the middle of a meeting, but he hung up the phone and walked out of the conference

room.

Simon followed him out.

"Is madam here today?"

"Mr. Williams, I'm going to take a look."

Simon went to the secretary's office and saw that Jessica's seat was empty. Her computer hadn't been

turned on.

Paul saw Simon and asked. "Simon, are you here for Jessica?"

"Did Jessica go out?" Simon asked. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Jessica called me early this morning, saying that she went to the hospital to see a doctor. And she

said she might need to take a few days off. Her work was temporarily handed over to me, and she

would ask Darcy for leave."

Simon went back to the conference room and whispered in Oliver's ear, telling him about Jessica not

coming to work.

Jessica's sudden disappearance scared Oliver.
