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

 "Hi, Ms.Evans.Are you also here to have coffee?"

Ayla approached Yareli.

"I'm just here to deal with some private affairs.But now that I have time, shall we have a cup of coffee together?"

She had already planned to go to the Clark Group's office to find Ayla.It was good that they ran into each other here at the coffee shop.

Ayla nodded.

"Sounds lovely."

Afterwards, they ordered a cup of coffee and sat at a table by the window.

"So, Ms.Evans, have you dealt with the private affairs you mentioned earlier?"

Ayla glanced at the portfolio that Yareli had put aside.

"No, not really."

Yareli was certain that the girl she met earlier was not her daughter.

Puzzled, Ayla looked at her, and said, "So, does that mean you're not done with it yet?"

"Actually, I've been looking for my daughter who has been missing for twenty years already."

There was no need for Yareli to hide that fact from her.

As a matter of fact, she already thought of Ayla as her own daughter.

"Your daughter? I thought you never got married?" they wasn't expecting that someone perpetually single like Yareli actually had a daughter.

It seemed that she still had difficulties of her own.

A bitter smile appeared on Yareli’s lips.
