Chapter 76
Jessica comforted her grandma and said, "Grandma, I'll bring him to see you as soon as possible.”
When she promised this, Jessica herself doubted whether Oliver would agree.
When she talked to that man in the evening, she asked with a bright smile, "Can I ask you for another favor?”
When Oliver heard her question, it turned out that she always smiled at him tonight because she had something to ask for. "What?"
"Can you come with me to visit my grandma tomorrow? She said I've been married for so long and hasn't seen you yet, so she wanted to see you."
Oliver thought it was something difficult. Since they were married on the surface, they should visit each other's elders. He really didn't know much about her family and elders, but he knew that she hated Tina.
He had never been to the White Family before, but the White Family insisted on marrying both daughters into his family. He despised such people and did not want to get along with them.
This woman seemed to have devoted all her heart to her grandma and spend all her free time in the hospital. If it weren't for her grandma, she wouldn't have married him, and he might not have had any interaction with this woman in his life, so it seemed that her grandma was some sort of matchmaker between them. He should visit and thank her. Oliver did not agree immediately. He remained expressionless and did not say anything.
When Jessica saw this man like this, her eyes immediately showed disappointment. Her smiling face gradually turned serious.
'He doesn't agree. He doesn't even care about me, not to mention my family. Well, I could tell grandma that he is on a business trip for the time being. Maybe I should talk about it with him later."
Oliver looked at Jessica's serious look. He said in a low voice, "Okay. I'll go with you to see your grandmother.”
When Jessica heard this, she was so happy that she grabbed the man's arm. She really wanted to give him a big kiss, but her sense of reason stopped her.
The next day.
Jessica got up early in the morning to dress up in a good mood like a happy bird. Oliver looked on coldly. If only this woman could stay by his side like this every day. He could consider not letting her leave and giving her a real wedding, but when he saw her slightly bulging abdomen, the thought vanished in an instant.
After Jessica changed her clothes, she saw Oliver sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face. She walked over and said, "Do I give you too much pressure to go to see grandma with me?"
Oliver sneered. "Let's go."
Oliver had Simon prepare the gift early in the morning, so the scene of the two of them in grandma's ward was that Jessica was holding Oliver's one arm, and the man was holding a gift box in another hand. Jessica felt very strange about them but the man was actually calm and indifferent.
Her grandma was mentally prepared for she could feel that their relationship might not be good, but when she saw them, she didn't expect them to look like sweet newlyweds.
Grandma asked Lannan, the nurse, to take the gifts from them and said to the two of them, "My children, sit down."
Oliver smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm sorry to have been married to Jessica for so long before I come to see you. I was afraid that it would affect your rest, so I didn't dare to disturb you before.”
Jessica echoed, "Grandma, I didn't let him come so early, for fear of affecting your treatment.”
Grandma was so happy to see the couple stand for each other in front of her.
"Anytime is fine. I'm happy to see you guys so sweet."
Jessica knew that they had succeeded in their act. A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, because, after all, they had deceived her. After looking at the man's expression, which was still calm. She quickly regained her composure.
As Oliver spoke, he peeled an apple. Jessica didn't expect him to do such a thing.
The last time he went to cook noodles, she was shocked. Today, she was even more impressed with him.
Grandma suddenly said, "Jessica, go to the first floor and see if my medicine is ready." Then she handed Jessica the medical card.
"Okay, grandma, I'll go right away."
After Jessica left, her grandma said to Oliver, "Child, I have something to say to you alone.”
"Grandma, please.”
"I just hope you can treat Jessica well. She has always been the apple of our family's eye since she was a child. Her father married into our family, but now everything in the company is his property. Ever since her father married his mistress, Jessica had been bullied by her stepmother. She was young and afraid that I would be worried, so she didn't dare to tell me and suffered a lot."
As she spoke, the image that Marina insulting Jessica occurred to her mind. Tears were almost flowing out, and she continued, "Since she's married to you, I hope you can treat her well. I know that she married you because of me. No matter why your marriage started, she’s already your wife. I don't need you to give her a luxurious life, I just want her to have no more ups and downs in the future.”
Although the White Family was not powerful, it was a rich family. Oliver didn't understand how did she live a miserable life when he first read her information. Now he Figured it out.
"Grandma, we're married. I will treat her well and protect her in the future. You can rest assured.”
When she heard his words, her eyes were blurred by tears, and a smile appeared on her wrinkled face. "I won't be a burden to her. I just want her to be happy, and then I will be satisfied."
Oliver had not felt any family warmth since his mother died. Especially after living alone in the United States for so long, he had never seen a family member since then. He hated his father, and he did not want to see him again. Jeff didn't care about him either.
He needed his friends more than his family.
Seeing that Jessica and her grandma were so close, he was touched. After a while, Jessica came back and saw that Oliver and grandma were having a nice chat. She asked, "What are you talking about? You look so happy.”
"Grandma is telling me interesting things about your childhood," Oliver said softly.
"Grandma." Jessica's voice was delicate, and she spoke in a completely different tone than usual in front of Oliver.
Oliver began to wonder what was the true color of this woman.
