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

After standing up from the sofa, Brian approached the door and peeked at the peephole.A smile flashed across his lips when he saw who was waiting outside.

He opened the door and greeted, "Mr.Collins, how are you? It's been a long time since we last saw each other."

"Mr.Clark? What are you doing here? Where is Ayla?"

The moment Brian opened the door for him, Lucas immediately sensed some danger.Since the man before him was in Ayla's house, all he could think about was her safety.

"Why are you asking such stupid questions, Mr.Collins? After all, I'm Ayla's husband.I'm more curious as to why you're so caring towards her."

In that instance, Brian was blocking the entrance with his body so that Lucas couldn't enter.

'Maybe it's fortunate that Lucas and Ayla aren't living in the same apartment, ' he thought.

However, Lucas shoved Brian out of the way and forced his way inside.

"Lala, where are you?"

Despite looking at every nook and cranny of the apartment, Lucas couldn't find Ayla.

"Brian, where is she? What did you do to Ayla?"

Enraged, Lucas marched towards Brian and grabbed him by the collar.

"Where is she? Have you had enough of torturing her?"

"What are you talking about? I haven't done anything to her.Moreover, you ought to realize your position and mine."

Then, Brian shoved away Lucas' hand.

'How dare you take advantage of her? I won't allow you to lay a finger on her"

"You dare mention your position? I don't care that everyone is afraid of you, Brian.What are you to her? Nonetheless, stay away from her.Your presence will only cause her sorrow."

If he had known that this would happen, Lucas would have stayed beside Ayla.

In that way, Brian wouldn't be able to approach her.

Unfortunately, Brian found her.

As such, Ayla had to live under the shadow he cast upon her.

"I will cause her sorrow? That's rich coming from you.If you want to blame someone, look at yourself first.Just now, Ayla was at the airport.You should already realize what she saw there.So before making a decision, carefully think about if you can truly give her the happiness she deserves."

Brian could only glare at Lucas at the moment.He couldn't do anything yet, as Tatum was a cruel man.He needed to be careful about his plans.
