The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

Hayden heaved a sigh and looked at her.

Then after a while, he said, "What are you talking about? I'm already old so why would ! still think about women? If our children heard such inappropriate words from us, they would laugh at us."

"Are you saying that what I am talking about is nonsense? Haven't you noticed that you're not being in your normal self these days? You do know that your health is not good yet you still choose to stay inside your study until midnight almost every day.If you're not thinking about women, then who's running in your mind? Don't tell me that you're still thinking about that bitch? She already died more than twenty years ago.In a car accident remember?"

While she was talking, Miley looked straight at Hayden's eyes.

Back then, she just couldn't stand that her husband was with another woman.So what if that woman was her husband's first love? It was not that hard for Miley to kill a woman.So even the woman was with a baby in her belly, she still let her die in a car accident.

"Enough! Don't you dare mention it anymore!" Hayden shouted.

If it was not because of that car accident, he wouldn't have lost the woman he dearly loved and their child.

Hayden promised her that he would divorce his wife first before he gave her a wedding.

He had her planned to be his wife but he never expected that in just a snap, he would lose everything.

The only thing that sank into his mind was the fact that the woman he loved together with their unborn child had died in a car accident.

Within all the past years, Hayden had tried hard and done his best just to maintain this marriage.

Even though he had devoted all his time and feelings to his family and work, he still failed in the end.

Miley couldn't just feel at ease because of her many doubts.

They were always arguing and fighting each other because she couldn't believe Hayden easily.

Molly and Toby walked down the stairs together when they heard the noise downstairs.

"Dad? Mom? It's already late.Could you please stop fighting?"

"Go to your bed, Molly, and sleep!"

Hayden never intended for his daughter and son-in-law to hear about their quarrels, but they had heard it many times already.

"Dad, you should go to bed early.You know that your health is not getting good right?"

Toby walked to Hayden and pulled him to another side, while Molly decided to take Miley to the second floor.

Toby sat beside Hayden inside the study room.

"Dad, are you okay?"

"I'm okay.Just go to your bed.You still have work for tomorrow."

Hayden wanted to cheer himself up so he went to see Ayla.
