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

The moment Brian returned to his villa, he saw that Anna was sleeping on the sofa.Was she waiting for him to come home? He walked towards the sofa.

"Anna," he called out softly.

"Brian, you're home."

Anna opened her eyes and saw him standing in front of her.

"Why are you sleeping here? If you're sleepy, go upstairs and sleep on a bed.In the future, I'll be a lot busier, and I'm not sure when I'll be able to get home," he said.

Shaking her head, Anna replied, "It's fine.Are you hungry? Let me prepare some food for you."

"No, I'm not hungry." Brian sat on the sofa.

"Anna, who is this Wenny of Starlight?"

Anna was currently pouring a glass of water when her hand froze because of what he said.

"Brian, why are you suddenly asking about her?"

"Am I not allowed to ask this question? I should've personally met this designer, but I haven't had much Spare time on my hands lately."

Brian turned his gaze towards Anna.He knew that she was hiding something important from her.

"Miss Wenny is from Antawood." She couldn't tell him that Wenny was actually Ayla.

However, since he had asked about her, she knew that she shouldn't hide too many things from him.

"I see.It's getting late.You should go to bed."

After saying that, Brian went upstairs.

While he was in his study, he sat at the desk, trying to recall the phone call earlier.He wondered why Wenny was avoiding him and not talking to him too much.

Meanwhile, Anna went back to her room.

She was tossing and turning, having a hard time falling asleep.

When she had finally had enough of her restlessness, she got up and dialed Ayla's number.

At the same time, Ayla just happened to be standing in front of her window, remembering what Brian had said to her tonight.

She was a bit worried.She hoped Brian didn't recognize her voice.
