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

Ayla smiled at him.

"Lucas, I'm fine.Anyway, I need to go.I have to go back to work now."

She couldn't afford to stay here for too long.More importantly, she didn't want to cause an even bigger misunderstanding.

"Lala, is he really worth all this effort?" Lucas just couldn't understand her.

This woman had been with him for more than two years, and still, he couldn't figure out what she was thinking most of the time.

Perhaps he never could.

Ayla took a deep breath.

"Lucas, you need to know that I'm doing this for myself, not for Brian.Your question makes no sense."

It was true.She did it all for herself, and she wouldn't change any of it for Brian's sake.If everything was predetermined to happen, then she would start from square one.

"In that case, don't push yourself too hard.And don't let anyone bully you, you hear?"

Lucas had already known her decision, but he still couldn't change her mind.He had no other choice but to let her do whatever she wanted.

Ayla nodded firmly.

"l know, Lucas.Please don't go against Mr.Clark.I doubt you can defeat him.And don't worry! He won't do anything to me."

"Lala, what are you going to do if he dies?"

If Lucas were to enact his revenge, he wanted to make sure that she wouldn't suffer in the process.

And if she were happy with Brian, he might even toss out the idea of vengeance.His words left Ayla stunned.

"What do you mean by that, Lucas? Why do you think he'll die? Are you planning to do something to him?"

The sound of her anxious voice and sight of concern in her eyes were like daggers to Lucas’ heart.It was just a hypothetical question, and she had already gotten so anxious about it.

Then, she was probably lying if she said that she didn't love Brian anymore.

Lucas forced a smile.
