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

Brian frowned at the thought that everything had something to do with Ayla.He shouldn't have underestimated her.

"Mr.Clark, shall we investigate this matter as weil?"

Although Jaime's opinion of her had improved, he was still a bit worried.Because Ayla, the adopted daughter of the Woodsen family, had stirred up a ruckus and it hadn't subsided yet.

"No, that's not necessary.There are a lot of people doing it already.Sooner or later, the truth will come out.You can rest for a few days.You shouldn't go running around working all the time."

Brian patted Jaime on the back.

"I'm alright, Mr.Clark.I think you should keep an eye on Miss Ayla Woodsen.I'm worried that she has ulterior motives."

He was still suspicious of Ayla's true identity.

No self-respecting woman would subject to being a substitute bride unless she was up to something.

"I got it.It's not that big of a deal.If you have some spare time on your hands, watch over the TH Gang for me.If you see them making any moves, tell me right away." Brian turned his gaze towards the window.

He was going to be busy in the coming days.

Nodding, Jaime replied, "I understand."

"Let's have dinner together," Brian remarked as he went out of the room.

Jaime followed him and watched him approach Ayla, hoping that she wouldn't cause Brian any trouble.She was sitting on the sofa lazily.

When she noticed that Brian had returned, she bolted upright.

"Do you...want something to drink?"

Ayla said reluctantly as she turned to the glass in front of her.

Looking at her, Brian asked, "Are you planning on tricking me again?"

He wasn't worried about Jaime's warning because this woman was neither conniving nor capable of trickery: Ayla looked back at him.

"I'm not."

That was because she didn't want to fall into the trap that she prepared again.Should she feel lucky that she had put sleeping pills into his milk instead of laxatives?

 "Why don't you drink that glass of wine first to prove that you didn't do anything to it?"

It seemed that he was taking advantage of the situation.Ayla tried to drug him last night, but he didn't end up drinking any of the milk.And now, he was asking her to show her sincerity by drinking the wine she was offering.

Despite her reluctance, she gulped it down to prove her innocence.

"Incredible.Your drinking capacity has improved drastically!"
