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

Ayla and Lucas looked around at the surroundings as they finally arrived in front of the gate of the Woodsen family's villa.The door lock was already rusty and the beautiful garden had been surrounded by a lot of weeds, looking desolate.

"We can go inside if you like.Do you want to come?"

Lucas looked at her and asked.

"No.I can't get in."

She shook her head lightly and sighed.

He held her hand and said, "Since you are here, why don't we come inside and have a look? Besides, no one is here except us."

Ayla was about to react when she saw that Lucas already opened the rusty iron lock on the gate.

"Lucas.” The man turned to her with a smile on his face.

"Let's go! Why? Don't tell me you don't want to come in and see what's inside?"

Lucas noticed the uncertainty in her eyes as she looked a little paler.

So he added, "You don't have to be afraid.I'm just here with you.Okay?"

While holding their hands together, Ayla started to walk slowly on the slate road.

This place was so familiar to her.

Three years had only passed, but this place already changed a lot. While walking slowly, Lucas encircled his arms around her waist tightly.Then he asked, "What do you think, Lala? Did this place feel familiar to you? If you want, I can buy this villa."

 This place was like her home.

Even though her surname was Woodsen, she was also aware that she was not a real member of the Woodsen family.

So in the future, Lucas could make this place her real home.

But Ayla shook her head as a sign of disapproval and said, "No, you don't have to do that.Besides, it doesn't belong to me.I won't stay in Antawood forever.The day will come and I will leave this place."

 "Lala, you have to remember that your home is where I am.I will give you a complete and happy family.Trust me."

Lucas stared at her intently as he promised to her.

He was willing to give her everything she wanted, as long as it would make her happy.

Ayla heaved a sigh and modded.She had no hope anymore.She used to live here before.

However, this place was no longer the home where she used to live three years ago.

They just walked around the villa and satisfied themselves with the view before they decided to leave.
