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

Brian raised an eyebrow.

"Is this yours? What kind of ring is it? Is it a wedding ring? Need I remind you that you're still Mrs.Clark?"

"No, that's not true.Mrs.Clark died two years ago."

Ayla was no longer the same person she used to be, nor was she his wife anymore.

"But I never stopped believing that you were still alive."

Brian held up the ring from his hand, and asked, "Who gave this to you?"

"It's none of your business! Just give it back to me!"

Ayla turned around and stomped her way towards him, trying to nab the ring away from him.

Unfortunately he wouldn't let her take it.

When she was about to take it from him, he raised his hand and made her miss.

As he held the ring up high, Brian said, "If you won't tell me who gave it to you, I'm going to throw this ring away!"

He was a man of his word.

Once he had said something, he would definitely do it! However, Ayla still refused to tell him.

Brian was a despicable man.

To protect Lucas, she wasn't going to tell him anything.

She was already standing on tiptoe, but she still couldn't reach it.

All she wanted to do was to take back her ring, but little did she know that their bodies were so close to each other right now.

Wearing only a thin layer of hospital gown, she pressed against his muscular chest.

It was only when she felt the tension from his body that she finally realized how close they were as of the moment.

Quickly backing away, she said, "Why won't you give me back my ring?"

Ayla stared at him intently.

This man’s presence in her life was bound to bring chaos into her peaceful life.

Had she been too careless yesterday? Why did she let Brian see her in the office by accident? It seemed that some things just couldn't be avoided.

"This one doesn't suit you."
