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

Chapter 110: You Should Have Died Two Years Ago 

Anna had no choice but to leave the study.She stood for a moment outside, leaning against the wall, taking deep breaths to center herself.

Brian's increasingly indifferent attitude towards her was making her more uneasy with each passing day.

Brian never asked about the work that she was responsible for, but tonight he had offered to meet Wenny.

If this happened, he would find out that Wenny was Ayla, who he had waited and looked for two years.

 And if Brian as much as saw Ayla, there would be no place for Anna in his life.

Only if Anna became pregnant with Brian's child would she have the chance to be with him.

Brian leaned back against the leather seat.

Anna had acted strange tonight, which caused him to wonder if something had happened.She had always allowed him to dominate her, and had never raised an objection, no matter what he did.

But ever since she had returned from Italy, her behavior had changed.

He trusted her, which was why he didn't restrain her too much.But he didn't like women who would cross the line.

Ayla prepared soup and four dishes and called for Lucas.

"It's time for dinner.You must be hungry.Aren't you?"

"I'll eat any number of dishes you cook," Lucas said, sitting down at the table.

"I can have only one meal every day if I eat the food you cook every night!"

 "Okay, then you should eat all of this.We can't waste food," Ayla said, putting down a bowl of rice before him.

"I don't want to waste them," Lucas said, and practically inhaled the food.

As she watched him eat with gusto, Ayla remembered cooking for Brian, only for him to pick at the food.

He hadn't liked her cooking at all.
