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

Chapter 150: Clipping Her Wings

 Lucas was anxious as he asked Anna, "Do you know where Lala is?"

He understood what Anna was saying.

The more hurt Ayla was, the more afraid of coming back to this villa she would be.And she would feel the heartache multifold if she returned here.

Anna shook her head.

"I can't tell you where she is because I don't know either."

She couldn't tell him.If Brian came to know that she had told Lucas, he would hate her for the rest of eternity.She was still the same as before, always turning a blind eye to the women around Brian.

What else could she do when she knew Brian so well?Lucas grasped Anna's hand.

"Are you lying to me?" he said angrily.

"Are you helping Brian? Do you want Brian to be with Lala? In that case, you won't get what you want either." Lucas also understood Anna.

If a woman loved a man, she wouldn't let other women lay claim to him.

Ayla might be a special case, but she didn't belong to Brian in the first place.

Anna shook off Lucas’ hand.

"I think you will find her if you put your heart to it.You don't need me for that."

That was all she could say and do.

Brian hardly paid attention to the love she felt for him, ignoring it as if it was something cheap.But she couldn't give up so easily! Lucas watched Anna get in the car and drive into the villa gates.

This was, perhaps, no longer the place that Brian wanted to live in.

Lucas got in his car and drove back downtown, stopping only at the gates of the Clark Group's offices.He waited for evening to come and for the lights to come on.

Ayla continued to stay in office in order to avoid going home and being in the same room as Brian.

Moreover, she wanted to finish the designs in advance.
