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

When Lucas came out of the school, he saw the two girls chatting.

"Molly," he called out.

"Lucas!"

Molly advanced towards him and hugged him affectionately.

Thereafter, Lucas wrapped his arm around Ayla's waist I and said, "You two know each other? Come, let's have dinner together."

Molly was taken aback.

"Lucas, do you know her?"

'This coquettish woman! First she seduced my husband and now she is trying to sink her claws into Lucas!'"No!"

"No, thanks!"

Both women blurted out simultaneously.

Lucas smiled cunningly at Ayla.

"Do you want me to drag you into the car again?"

He was reluctant to force her. "It's already quite late.I should be heading back."

She was in no mood for a fancy dinner with Molly.

"It's okay.I'll drive you home.I don't see your driver around."

Lucas opened the car door and she seated herself.

Noticing this, Molly griped, "Lucas, she is a vixen! She seduced Toby!"

She reminded him.Lucas ignored her warning.

He said with a smile, "If I marry her, Toby will be out of her life.Besides, I'll take her abroad.Isn't that great?"

He patted her on her back.Stunned by his naivety, she said, "Don't get caught up in her web.She is also intimately involved with Mr.Clark."

"Just forget it! Let's go! Why don't you drive in front of us and lead the way? You decide what we should eat."

Lucas ran his fingers through Molly's hair dotingly.

Ayla sat silently in his car.

"Lala, I don't care about your past.I just want to share a beautiful future with you,"

Lucas said sincerely.

‘'The future...is all too distant.'’

The happiness she sought was gone.

So was the loving, affectionate family.

She didn't want to hurt Lucas and she knew that Brian would make their lives sheer hell.
