Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 458



Before Oliver left, he helped Roy take a bath and let him sleep first.

He thought he might be out of sorts because of the kidnapping.

He looked back at the previous video.

Unexpectedly, Roy seemed to have changed. He usually stayed up late if Oliver didn't read him stories.

Instead, he seemed very excited after Oliver left.

In the video, he picked up the drawing paper on the table, as if he was drawing.

And he sat there for a long time, then took his little album and went to bed.

He soon fell asleep with a smile on his lips.

Oliver was curious about what he had drawn and how happy he was.

And he rarely fall asleep so fast.

Oliver looked around the bed and did not find the album in Roy's hand.

Then he looked down and saw that it had fallen to the ground.

He bent down gently and picked up the scattered drawing paper on the ground.

In case not to wake him up, Oliver came in, leaving only a dim lamp on.

Under the apricot yellow light, He put the drawing paper in his hand on the table one by one.

A child as Roy was, he had a natural aptitude for painting.

Even his freehand drawing was so vivid.

The picture showed a woman and a child on the swing.

Oliver could tell at a glance that the woman was undoubtedly Jane, and the boy was Roy himself. Seeing that he was smiling so happily, at this moment, Oliver had an idea that scared himself.

He thought that perhaps there was some kind of fate between Roy and Jane, as his attitude towards Jane and Tina was totally different.

However, he gave up the idea at the thought of Jane's performance.

How fickle this woman was.

Double-faced as she was, she didn't deserve to have anything to do with his son.

But the child was innocent.

Oliver did not ask Roy about him being taken away, but in the evening when he was cooking in the kitchen, he heard the conversations between Nanny Daisy and Roy.

Nanny Daisy had no idea that Roy had been taken away.

All she knew was that he went to his classmate’s birthday party.

So Nanny Daisy asked him if he was having a good time.

Roy, who seemed to have no scruples at all, told Nanny Daisy that he was having a good time. Then she asked him what did he do on the party.

Roy seemed to be very alert and told her that he played children’s games which she wouldn't be interested.

He seemed to stop Nanny Daisy from asking further.

At that time, Oliver came out of the kitchen, trying to observe Roy expression to tell his mood.

At a glance, he saw that Roy covered his mouth inadvertently after he had finished speaking. Oliver could clearly sense that he was afraid that he would spill the beans.

Oliver couldn't think of anyone who was able to let Roy keep a secret except for Jane.

He had a feeling that Jane was too good at leading children by their noses. It seemed that he was right.

Roy seemed especially willing to believe everything she said.

Oliver didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

But it's difficult for a kid to really keep any secret.

Although Oliver didn't ask him anything, his painting betrayed him.

He could tell that after Jane took Roy to a place with a swing to play with.

Perhaps his son liked to play on the swing.

Only then did he realize that he had been too careless.

Because when he used to take Roy to the amusement park, he seemed to be very averse to swings. To his surprise, Roy was so happy playing on the swing now.

Oliver hoped to see his son's laughter every day.

It was already midnight, and he still called Simon.

Simon, who had just met Oliver, was surprised to receive his phone call, thinking that something had happened again.

He answered the phone in fear.

It turned out that Oliver asked him to make a swing in the yard.

Simon said he would do it the next day.

[The next day.]

Because of what happened in the birthday party at the Garner family, the parents of the children in his class knew his identity.

Oliver wanted to let Roy stay at home for a few days first.

He also agreed.

He knew that Jane would not go to kindergarten, and he seemed to have no expectations. Not going to the kindergarten suited him.

Roy thought if only he could see her again.

However, he couldn't let Oliver know that he was with her before.

He was afraid that Oliver would find trouble with her and she might not speak to him anymore. He hated to see such a thing happen.

So he wanted to find Jane.

But he had no impression of the villa that she took him to that day, wondering where to find her. Seeing that something was bothering him, Oliver said, "Roy, what's wrong? Do you have anything to tell me?"

Roy immediately shook his head and said, "No, no.”

With that, he was about to leave.

Probably because he was afraid that Oliver would see what was on his mind.

"I have something to tell you," Oliver said.

Roy looked puzzled and asked nervously, "What's the matter?”

He was afraid that Oliver would ask about what happened that day, and that he would give Jane a hard time.

Oliver took his hand and walked out of the living room to the courtyard.

Soon, Roy saw the swing he had never seen at home before.

He was so happy that he asked Oliver to carry him to the swing.

He didn't expect his dad to give him such a surprise.

But he wished that Jane could play swing with him.

He couldn't tell Oliver about that.

As he thought about that, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Oliver asked, "Do you like it?"

"Yes, thank you, daddy,” said Roy.

"Daddy, when will Auntie Kim come to our house again?"

Oliver sighed, not knowing what to say next.

He wondered if he should tell Roy that she was a person who specialized in lying to children.

Or should he tell him that she was not as good as she looked and she was using him, or he should tell him not to ask anything about her.

Oliver was in a dilemma. He didn't want to see his son's disappointed expression.

He gave a hard push on the swing so that he had more time to think about how to answer his son's question.
