Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Jane had thought about it before she had a child.

After the baby was born, she would sit on the sofa, hugging the baby and reading stories to them. However, this would not happen anymore. The baby had already left her, they had passed away. Every time she thought about it, she regretted not reading more stories to the baby or telling the baby about the world when she was pregnant.

Jane believed that the baby in her womb would be able to hear her voice.

In the years she lived in Holland, Gavin was afraid that she would indulge in the sadness of losing her baby.

So he never allowed her to attend any occasions with children present.

There were no pictures or things related to babies at home either.

Jane had hardly get in touch with a child over the years, nor had she communicated with babies. In fact, she knew that she could not take care of a child at all.

After her child had gone, she had not dared to look at the face of any children for a long time. She was afraid that she would not be able to extricate herself from the pain of losing her child. Therefore, she could only imagine her child's face on his birthday and draw works to comfort herself as a way to vent her depression.

Now, Roy seemed to be very familiar with her. Just as Jane sat on the sofa, he leaned directly into Jane's arms.

Jane was extremely uncomfortable at first. The kid was so little and she just couldn't push his soft body away from her arms.

Since he was about to lose his mother, and that would be caused by her.

Jane could not refuse to let him stay in her arms.

So, this scene took place in Oliver's office.

Roy seemed to treat Jane as his mother. He leaned his head against her and listened carefully to the story that Jane was reading to him.

Of course, there was no storybook in the office.

Jane could only take out her phone and find a story to read to Roy in a hurry.

When Jane was reading the story, her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

However, Roy seemed to be completely immersed in the story, he giggled from time to time.

For some reason, Jane seemed to have an illusion that her child was still alive in this world. And just like Roy, her child might be laying in their mother's arms and listening to stories happily.

Soon, she realized that she was delusional.

She was daydreaming.

As the door of the office was opened, Oliver came in.

Jane then knew that it was time for her to wake up from her dream.

Oliver looked at the two people on the sofa in surprise.

Especially the way Roy looked when he snuggled in Jane's arms, he looked exactly like a happy child.

It had been a long time since he had seen Roy smile like this.

As soon as Oliver came in, Jane stopped reading the story.

But Roy was still waiting for her to continue.

Jane whispered, “Little kid, your father is back. I should go.”

As she spoke, she was about to push Roy out of her arms.

Because Jane felt that it was really inappropriate.

This was her enemy's kid. Why did she act kindly in front of a child to hide their actual relationship? It was really not the right thing to do.

However, Roy had been holding her arm tightly, you could tell that he had no intention of coming down at all.

Oliver was dumbfounded for a few seconds before he said, "Roy, Miss Kim still has other things to do, so don't waste her time."

"Okay, I won't waste Jane's time. I know you are very busy, can you promise me that you will read me a story again the next time we meet?"

Roy asked in a childish voice.

But Jane knew that they would not meet again.

Tina was already gone, and soon Jason and Marina would be dead.

Sometimes, it was better to make them alive and suffer than to let them die.

When they died, everything was over.

She just hoped that every day that they were alive was torture for them.

Jane knew that she would leave Birmingham soon, the place where she had lived since she was a child.

She had a family here who used to love her the most. She was not willing to leave her hometown if it wasn't because she had to.

She had to adapt to a new environment at this age.

Perhaps this was the life that everyone in the Kim family had to go through.

Just like her father, Gavin, he went to Europe for his work when he was her age.

Compared to her father, she was already in a better situation.

Because Gavin had already succeeded and could provide a shelter for her, but when he was her age, he had to start from the very beginning.

Jane felt that everything she had done was insignificant compared to what her father had done. Then how could she still be not content and complained about it?

She wanted to say an official goodbye to the child in front of her because she didn't want to lie to him anymore.

Of course, she could finally fulfill Oliver's wish.

Oliver had been trying to drive her away from Birmingham.

As long as Tina died, he didn't need to chase her away anymore, she would leave herself. She would not want to stay in Birmingham even for another day.

Regarding the cooperation between the Kim family and the Garner Group, everything would be handed to her brother Lucas, he would deal with them.

Anyway, Lucas had always been looking forward to coming to Birmingham.

He had stayed in Birmingham for a long time this time and was already overjoyed.

Therefore, Jane could leave without any concerns.

"Goodbye, Roy."

Jane said it in an official way.

Goodbye, they would never see each other again.

It was not only to Roy but also to Oliver.

Now that she had learned from Tina that Oliver had nothing to do with her child, the only thing she hoped was that she would never interact with Oliver again in her life.

Just as Jane was about to turn around and leave, Roy seemed to feel something

He ran to Jane and stretched out his little finger, "Miss Kim, let's make a promise. In the future, you have to read me a story again.”

Jane never reached out her hand.

After a few seconds, Oliver realized that Roy was afraid that Jane would change her mind, so he wanted to pinky swear.

Oliver saw that Jane was embarrassed, so he walked over and held Roy up.

"Roy, don't be so rude," Oliver said.

After all, this movement seemed somewhat compelling.

Jane could only sneer in her heart.

Perhaps it was because Roy had inherited Oliver's character, he also hoped to force others to obey him for everything.

However, Roy was not her child. Jane felt that she had no obligation to realize the will of Oliver's child.

Jane left gracefully. She smiled and waved her hand to say goodbye to Oliver and Roy.
