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

Chapter 107: All He Wanted Was A Home  

Ayla stood up, her gaze not leaving the middle-aged man before her.She was stunned into speechlessness.

"You're Ayla, aren't you?"

Hayden was excited, surprised, and disbelieving at the same time.

"Yes, I am."

Ayla hadn't expected to meet Hayden on the next day after she returned.

"Hello, Mr.Smith," she said politely.

 Hayden hadn't expected to see her again.

It had been more than two years, and he had thought that something bad had happened to Ayla.

"So you are still alive," he said, his voice joyful.

Ayla nodded.She had only met Hayden a few times and they weren't that familiar with each other.But the way Hayden looked at her confused her to no end.

"Are you free now? Can I buy you a cup of tea?" he asked, looking at her with hopeful eyes.

Ayla looked at her watch before nodding and saying, "Okay."

She couldn't refuse his polite invitation.To her, so far at least, Hayden was a good man.

They got into the car and Hayden mentioned the address of a nearby tea bar to his driver.it wasn't long before they were seated at a table.

"What kind of tea do you want to drink?" he asked.

"Green tea, please," she said mildly.

Hayden turned to the waiter and said, "Two cups of green tea."

Once the waiter had left, he turned to Ayla, the question shooting out of him.

"Where have you been these past two years? I was very worried when I heard that you had an accident."

"I was in Italy, Mr.Smith.I had a good and peaceful life there," she said honestly.

"That's good."

What could be better than her being alive? Hayden had never thought he would meet Ayla again.

 "You look much older,"

Ayla observed as she looked at him.

In just two years, more than half of Hayden's hair had turned white, which made him look older than his actual age.
