Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 179

Jessica asked Amy what happened.

"Madam went out this morning. She may be tired and is resting in her room. I'll ask her to come out for

dinner now."

When Vicky came out, Jessica could see at a glance that she had just cried and her eyes were still

bloodshot.

She said, "A few days ago, you asked me to cook something you like, but I'm really not good at

cooking. Today, I asked the cook to help me cook these dishes. Would you like to try them?"

Jessica spoke in a much more humble manner today.

Vicky saw that she was so humble to please her, and the anger she had suffered in the morning eased

a little.

She pretended to cough, picked up her chopsticks, and tasted every dish. "It's not bad like today. But

don't you expect that by pleasing me in this way I will agree to your marriage to Lambert."

"I know you don't like me marrying Lambert. I know I'm not good enough for him, and I don't want to

waste his time."

As Jessica said this, Vicky's eyes flashed with a glint.

Since Jessica said so, she was the best breakthrough. It was much easier than begging Jeff and

persuading Lambert.

"Do you really think so?" Vicky was afraid that Jessica would play tricks on her because she couldn't

understand why a woman wouldn't want to marry such an outstanding son of hers.

Jessica looked into her eyes and said solemnly, "I don't have to lie to you. You know I'm not afraid of

you."

Vicky thought so. Ever since she came to Lambert's house, Jessica had not paid attention to her, and

she had been contradicting her in words.

"Then what you've been telling me before is to take Lambert away from me."

"That's because our words are too irritating. I did it on purpose." She said truthfully, "Seeing that the

date of marriage is approaching, you don't want me to marry him, and I don't want to marry him. We

have the same goal."

Jessica wanted to persuade Vicky to stand on her side. In this way, Lambert would probably relax his

vigilance and would have agreed to let her go out shopping with Vicky in the future.

If Vicky could be trusted in the future, she might be able to help her escape from Lambert.

After this meal, the two of them had less grudge.

Jessica no longer deliberately tried to annoy Vicky.

For the next few days, she and Vicky were at peace.

Jessica was wondering if David had helped with her fake id. She wanted to call now, but she could only

use her home phone.

If she had used the home phone, there was no doubt that the contents of the call would have been

known to Lambert, and if he knew, she would really be shooting herself in the foot.

Jessica had been observing Lambert recently. She had to find a time when he was too busy to pay

attention to her.

Otherwise, with Lambert's vigilance, he could have easily spotted her escape.

Lambert knew that Jessica had run away before, so this time, he would not let her go easily.

Lambert's study and Jessica's painting room were open to each other. When he had brought her to see

the studio, he had opened the door between them.

At that time, Jessica only felt a little disgusted. Seeing that the layout of the studio was exactly the Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

same as that in GrandVille Apartments, she had never come here to draw.

Now, in order to understand Lambert's habits, she began to paint in the studio.

One day, Lambert came back and couldn't find Jessica.

Annie told him that Miss White said she wanted to draw today. She should be in the studio.

Lambert walked over and noticed that the door of the studio was open.

He then saw Jessica sitting in front of the drawing table, painting landscape paintings. Lambert saw at

a glance that the Painting Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden was placed in front of Jessica.

He had seen Jessica not coming to the studio to paint before, probably because she had been angry

with him, so she deliberately did not enter the studio he had set up for her.

Over the past few days, he had also believed that Jessica had probably given up. He knew that she

was someone who knew the current situation very well. Otherwise, she would not have been willing to

marry Oliver. At that time, Oliver was still crippled in a wheelchair and had a bad reputation.

Lambert walked gently behind Jessica and stared at her back.

Jessica had already known that it was time for Lambert to get off work. That was why she came to the

studio at this time. She knew that he was standing behind her at this moment.

However, she pretended not to notice and she was still copying different paintings of mountains and

rivers, trees and stones.

Lambert said softly, "If you want to draw a landscape painting, I'll teach you. With more copies of these

drawings, the landscape paintings will look more rigid."

After all, Lambert was a professional teacher, and he had always had a tendency to sermonize her.

Jessica said, "I'll just draw whatever I want. Today, I happened to get interested and copied some of

what was on the drawing book."

"I think you've drawn a lot. You'd better have a rest. It's not good to stand for a long time." Lambert

said.

Jessica was pregnant and it was extremely uncomfortable to sit and draw, so she had to stand.

Lambert was very careful and thoughtful.

"It's okay. I don't feel tired."

After saying that, Jessica stopped writing, put the brush pen in her hand on the pen rest, picked up a

wet towel, and wiped her hands that were stained with ink.

She said to Lambert, "You'd better get busy with your own business. I'll take a break and draw. When

I'm bored, I'll read."

Lambert had been really busy recently. Every day, he tried to get home early and did whatever he could

bring home.

Now, he was working in the study next door, and Jessica was painting in the studio. They were so

matched, so he couldn't help but feel comforted.

"Okay, I'm right next to you. If you need anything, call me."

Lambert strode to the study next door and opened the two separate doors completely so that he could

still see Jessica in the studio from time to time.

When Jessica saw Lambert open the partition door, she had no objection. This was exactly what she

wanted.

Although she had known Lambert for a long time, she didn't know much about him. Because she had

not paid much attention to him before.

Besides, ever since Lambert joined the Williams Group, he had changed dramatically, making Jessica

almost unable to find what Lambert used to be like.

With a virtuous face, she smiled and said, "Okay, go do your work."

Lambert entered the study, sat at the desk, turned on his computer, and began to work.

Jessica also began to find some new sheets to copy.
