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

A deep sigh came out from Toby as he looked at Ayla.

"Lala, are you still thinking about that man? So you haven't forgotten him yet," he said.

This was also the thing that Toby worried about the most.

As long as that man was still in her heart, she would just keep on suffering.

Ayla sighed and shook her head.

"It's all over now.I think I'll leave here after a few days," she said.

She thought about the big mess she had made today.

They might drive her back to Italy soon.

Ayla realized that she felt more relaxed now instead of having any burden in her mind.

"Are you sure you'll leave? Then where are you going?"

Toby was surprised by what Ayla had said.

When he heard that Ayla would leave this place, he took her hand again and held it firmly.

Ayla smiled sadly and shook her head.

"I just feel like I don't belong here."

She didn't have a home here, so she had planned on leaving this place.

Toby frowned and said, "No! You belong here, Lala.There's a question that I want to ask you right now.Do you still love me?"

He was hoping for a positive answer from her.

But to his disappointment, he only saw how Ayla shook her head.

"So you have completely forgotten me, haven't you?"

Ayla had fallen in love with Brian.

Toby knew that he had no place in her heart anymore.

"Toby, you should stop asking me this question.You do know that my answer will always be the same no matter how many times you'd ask."

Ayla couldn't describe the love she had buried deep in her heart.She had once been brave, but her bravery had only made her suffer.
