Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 244

"What's her name?" Gavin asked.

"Her name is Jessica White. Isn't it a wonderful name? She's also a beautiful girl." Ian said proudly.

Gavin leaned heavily against the back of the sofa when he heard her name.

A trace of sadness suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He said to himself, "Why is her name Jessica?"

Ian looked at his father in shock and asked. "What's wrong? Is she really someone you know?"

He didn't know the girl in the photo, but he was very familiar with the name.

Jessica was a character in Emily's favorite novel.

Once when he was chatting with her, he had suggested that since Emily was so into that character, it

would be great for their daughter to call it that in the future.

She readily agreed.

Gavin couldn't figure out why the girl in the photo looked a little like Emily, and even her name had

something to do with her.

"When you went to her house, did you meet her parents?" Gavin wanted to know.

Only then did Ian remember not asking Jessica anything about her parents.

"No, I didn't, and she hadn't mentioned."

Ian thought that for so many days, other than Jessica's grandmother, he had never seen any other of

her family members visit her.

"I don't know what's going on with her parents, but except my friends, I met her grandma this time."

"Her grandma?" Gavin asked in confusion.

"Jessica's grandma."

"Have you seen her grandma? Then do you have a picture of her grandma? Show it to me."

In addition to Jessica's photos, Ian's camera was full of pictures of Birmingham.

He played again and finally found the photo of Jessica's grandmother, Jessica, and him before he left

Birmingham.

Although Jessica was lying on the bed in the photo and her grandma was in a wheelchair, and he was

standing in the middle, everyone laughed happily.

When Ian looked at the photo before, he didn't notice anything special.

However, looking at it again, he felt it really looked like a family photo.

Gavin grabbed the camera in Ian's hand. Looking at it in the camera, at first glance, he could not see

anything.

"Upload the photo to the computer immediately. I want it to blow up."

When Gavin said that, he was a little excited, which made Ian nervous.

"Dad, I haven't seen you flustered before. Why are you so nervous now?"

Ian asked the servant to take the laptop to the living room. He connected the power cord and quickly

sent the photos to the computer.

While Gavin was waiting, his palms were sweating.

Ian blew up the photo to the max.

Gavin took out his glasses, put them on, and looked carefully at the three people in the photo.

Although he had not met Emily's mother, he occasionally saw someone waiting for her at the door

when he sent her back at night.

At that time, he parked his car aside and watched Emily enter her house.

Emily's mother always came out to pick her up.

Gavin could recognize her in the photos.

However, from the photo, she didn't seem to be living well all these years.

After Emily died, Gavin went back to seek the forgiveness of the Youngren family.

At that time, they kicked him out, saying that seeing him would only make them sadder.

That was the last time he went back to Birmingham.

Ever since Gavin had not returned.

Gavin understood why he felt familiar when he saw Jessica.

He remembered that Emily's brother-in-law was from the White family.

Jessica should be Ian's aunt's daughter.

It should be destiny that they would know each other eventually.

That was great. At least Ian went back to Birmingham and met people from the Youngren family.

All these years, he had been repenting. Was it terrible for the Youngren family that he never let Ian go

back?

It seemed that God had its own plan and Ian met her.

"How is her grandma now?"

Gavin could tell from the photo that Emily's mother was sick.

"They have been in the hospital and should be discharged soon. Jessica told me that when she was

discharged, she would take her grandma back to the countryside."

"To the countryside? How are they now?"

"Terrible. I haven't contacted them in the past few days, so I'm going back to Birmingham to see if

something bad happened."

"If you want to know something about them, you can send someone to investigate, and you don't have

to go yourself."

"I have a bad feeling, so I want to confirm it myself. If anything happens to them, I can take care of

them."

"Shall I ask someone to help you?" Gavin asked.

Ian didn't expect his father to be persuaded. He thought if he couldn't get in touch with Jessica, his

father wouldn't stop him from going back. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"No, thank you. I know you don't want to have any contact with people in Birmingham."

Ian took out his cell phone to call Jessica again in front of Gavin. If the call couldn't get through, he

would have an excuse to go to Birmingham.

He dialed the number, and Jessica's phone had been turned off.

He called Oliver again and thought that no one would answer him. Just as he was about to hang up the

phone, a low voice came.

"Oliver, you've finally answered my call. What's going on? Why is every one of you seem to have

disappeared and can't be contacted?"

"Jessica's grandmother passed away. I was helping. I didn't have the time to answer your call."

The smile on Ian's face immediately froze. "What? How could it be? When did it happen?"

"Two days ago," Oliver said.

Gavin sat there. Looking at Ian's expression, he guessed that something bad had happened.

Ian hung up the phone and threw it on the table. "Dad, her grandma passed away."

Gavin was not as shocked as his son. He had digested the news in a short time.

"I'll go back to Birmingham with you," Gavin said.

"Really?"

Ian thought that his father was homesick when he saw the photos of Birmingham.

Or he didn't want to stop him from going back, so he went back with him.

Gavin had been sorry for the Youngren family all these years. He had never thought of getting the

forgiveness of the Youngren family but just wanted to go back and attend that old lady's funeral.
