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

Chapter 81: Lucas Confessed His Love To Her 

Brian's room was reeking of alcohol.

Did he drink again? She didn't smell the overpowering alcoholic odor coming from him when they ran into each other at the restaurant earlier.

"I'm home." Ayla timidly approached him.

"Hmm," Brian grunted.

Based on the look on his face, he was probably furious.

He had told her not to get too close to other men, and today, she had dinner with Lucas, but all Brian did was to grunt at her and nothing else.

Ayla moved her lips, but she ended up not saying anything.

Should she explain to him why she was late tonight? Or was it even necessary to do so? He saw it with his own two eyes.

An explanation probably wasn't needed at this point.

Just like her situation with Toby in the past, Brian believed what he saw, and there was nothing left needed to be explained to him.As soon as she turned around, he stopped her.

"Aren't you going to explain yourself?"

Was she not even going to try to defend herself? When Ayla turned back to the man, she noticed that he was no longer sitting on the sofa and drinking.

He was now standing close to her.

"If I tell you my side of the story, would you even believe me?"

"I won't know until I hear it."

If Brian was being honest, he wasn't going to believe her.

To him, being ignored was unacceptable, and so he wanted to hear an explanation.

"Then there's no need to speak."

Ayla saw it in his eyes that he wouldn't believe her, so she'd rather not waste her breath.

Holding her chin with his fingers, he asked, "Do you know who exactly this Lucas is?"

"I don't know."

She had never been one to pry into other people's private lives, not to mention that she considered Lucas as a friend, but no more than a friend.

"If I tell you that he's wealthy, would you go with him?"

Although the Collins family had fallen from grace, they still had several properties left.

That was why Brian was Curious of the reason Lucas applied to be the vice principal of a school.

The salary of this position wasn't that big, and he didn't seem like he lacked money.

Upon hearing Brian's question, Ayla asked, "Did you have him investigated?"

"I didn't need to."

What he actually wanted to know was why Lucas approached Ayla.
