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

Chapter 131: Misunderstood 

After leaving the hospital, Brian went to Ayla's studio.The night had fallen, but the lights in the studio were still on.

When he went upstairs, he found that she was immersed in drafting her designs.She didn't even notice him.

Brian gleaned that Lucas hadn't come to see her again.

With Haley by his side, he would certainly be unable to sneak out to visit Ayla.

Because Lucas knew that in order to protect her, he mustn't come to see her.

Neither Tatum nor Haley would tolerate Ayla's existence.

Stepping into her office, Brian said, "Don't you have any plans on going home anytime soon?"

His abrupt appearance made Ayla raise her head in panic.

But within a few seconds, she managed to regain her composure.

"Oh, it's you.What are you doing here at such a late hour, Mr.Clark?"

She stood up to approach him.He then went to the sofa and stared at her.

"What? Are you going to lose your temper again?"

"It's so late.You're not here to discuss work with me, are you?"

Ayla wasn't sure what to feel when she saw him again.

"No, it's not about work.I just want to have dinner with you.Would you give me the honor of doing so?"

They hadn't seen each other for a few days, so he assumed that she hadn't eaten well in the past few days.

At first, Ayla wanted to refuse, but she decided to accept it instead.

"Sure! It would be mighty ungrateful of me to decline Mr.Clark's invitation."Brian took her hand and remarked, "You're a_ glib- tongued woman."

If this would make her happy, then he would gladly allow it.

The past few days had been feeling empty without her bickering with him.Together, they walked to a restaurant.

Brian had already prepared everything.
