A few minutes later, Oliver finished his call and came back from outside.
Jessica couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
"It's nothing serious. It's just something in the company." The man said, then sat back beside the computer.
Jessica opened the book to the previous page number, but she was not in the mood to read it again.
She looked at Oliver from time to time and found that his eyes were a little empty. She didn't know if he was out of his mind or because he was too tired.
However, Jessica knew that it must not be a small matter to make him out of his state.
Because Jessica rarely saw his emotions fluctuate too much. No matter what he heard, he was calm.
Jessica's mind was in a mess.
She had just asked. Since the man didn't say anything, there was no point in asking anymore.
Jessica was a little upset. The joy of finding the painting teacher just now was also dispelled by the call that Oliver had just received.
She stood up and said, "I'm a little tired. I'll go back to the bedroom first."
Oliver saw that she was still wearing her daytime clothes and asked, "You haven't taken a bath yet. If you are not convenient, I'll help you."
"I can do these things myself. You should get busy with your work first."
Jessica wanted to go back to the room to take a bath and calm down. Otherwise, she would keep wondering what he was thinking.
Oliver still went back to the bedroom with her, turned on the water pipe, adjusted the water temperature, and then went out.
Jessica lay in the bathtub, her mind gradually calmed down.
The quieter she became, the more uneasy she felt.
After losing her memory, she longed to find out what had happened to her in the past.
She always felt insecure because she didn't know her identity completely.
It was as if everything was in a fantasy.
She was afraid of waking up tomorrow, everything would change again.
She didn't know how long she had been lying in the bathtub, but she felt that the water was a little cold before she came out.
Oliver had been in the room for a while. When he heard a noise in the bathroom, he knocked on the door and walked in.
"Why do you come here? You go do your own thing. Don't worry about me. Did I need you to take care of me when I took a shower?" She joked.
Jessica seemed to have washed away the irritation just now. Her mood suddenly brightened up and she began to joke with Oliver again.
"Because you used to prepare the bathwater for me. When I finished, you would come in and help me clean up the bathroom." Oliver said.
Jessica said, "I didn't expect me to be so good to you before. It's really hard to imagine."
In her memory, how could she do such a service job, let alone to this man?
It turned out that women really change quickly. What they thought they would never do before, they would make the biggest compromise to their loved ones.
Oliver just smiled, then took out the hairdryer from the drawer and dried her hair.
"Okay, you can go out now."
Jessica said with a smile, then kissed the man and said, "Thank you, honey."
It was the first time Oliver had heard her call him honey. He carried her out and then came back to clean up the bathroom.
Hayden, on the other hand, said less. More often, he showed her, but he suddenly became much more enlightened.
The two-hour course was soon over.
Jessica was about to send Hayden out when Oliver's car arrived home.
He came back so early especially to see Hayden. It was all because of Jessica, then he showed respect for the teacher.
Jessica introduced, "Oliver, this is Mr. Halper. He taught me to draw when I was young."
Oliver reached out his hand and said, "Mr. Halper, thank you."
This was the first time Hayden had seen Oliver. Besides being as handsome as Lambert, Oliver seemed a little indifferent and sharp.
"Thank you, Mr. Williams, for looking up to me and inviting me to be Jessica's teacher."
Oliver wanted to keep him sitting for a while, but Hayden thought it was better to leave first.
Jessica saw that Mr. Halper was a little awkward and said, "Mr. Halper is tired too. Let him go back and rest first."
Oliver arranged for Simon to drive Hayden home directly.
Simon opened the door of the Bentley and nodded. "Mr. Halper, please."
"No, I'll just go out and take a taxi."
Although Hayden was not poor, he had never been in such an expensive car before.
Jessica said, "Mr. Halper, it's okay. Simon, drive carefully on the road."
"Yes, Mrs. Williams," Simon said.
