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

With Lucas' help, Ayla finished two days' worth of work by nine PM.As she stared at the neatly organized bookshelves, a smile appeared on her face.Lucas said to her, "Isn't it good that I helped you?"

"Indeed! Thank you very much.It's getting late, we should go!" Ayla walked out of the school along with him.

"It's really late.Would you like to have dinner with me?" he said, leaning against the car.She wanted to refuse him, but when she saw how exhausted he was, she didn't have the heart to reject him this time.

"Sounds great!"

Lucas drove Ayla to a high-end western restaurant for dinner, and Lyle followed behind them.

"Would you like to have steak or pork chop?"asked Lucas.

"Either is fine," Ayla said, smiling.

She really didn't care either way.

In truth, the choices didn't matter because she never liked western food.

Looking at her, Lucas said, "I'd suggest you try the spaghetti.They make an amazing spaghetti here."

"Okay." She nodded.

In front of him, she acted very reserved.

"Lala, has your chauffeur been following you all this time?"

Lucas glanced at the car outside, wondering what kind of relationship Ayla had with Brian.

Was it purely a sexual relationship?In that case, Brian didn't have to keep her by his side, and she didn't seem to be willing to accept his affection.

If Ayla willingly accepted everything that he had given her, then she wouldn't have chosen to eat cafeteria food, and she wouldn't work at the library for money "Yes.It is already late in the evening, and Lyle gets worried about me."

In reality, she just didn't want to talk about Brian.

"With a luxurious car like that, you probably don't have to eat such crude lunches in your school cafeteria.Aren't you afraid of being undernourished?" asked Lucas.

"Not at all."

Ayla began eating the spaghetti.She needed to save money.

Even though it was difficult to earn money, she still wasn't going to touch Brian's money.

It was already nearing midnight when they finally left the restaurant.

Instead of Lucas, she asked Lyle to drive her home.
