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

Once she finished speaking, Ayla left the office.She would be lying if she said that it didn't pain her to cut off the clothes that she designed herself.

However, she wanted to show them how serious she was that she was willing to let go of anything that she didn't want to keep anymore.

Looking at Brian, Anna said, "Look at what that woman did.Are you still not willing to forget her?"

“How can he be so patient towards Ayla, and yet he shows me no compassion at all?’' she screamed in her head.

"You probably know what's on my mind already.I owe her a huge debt of gratitude, and I have to pay her back."

No matter how ridiculous it could get, he was going to give Ayla whatever she wanted and indulge her in every possible way because he was capable of doing it, and Ayla had the right to enjoy those privileges.

"You owe her so much and you're paying her back for it.But what about me? What about my love for you? And all the things I've done to make you love me back? Why are you trampling on my love so heartlessly? Are you really not capable of loving me back? Don't you feel indebted to me at all?"

Never had Anna imagined that Brian would say something like that.So what was she to him? She had loved him so much.

It was fine if he didn't want her love, but how could he just trample on it like it was nothing? 

"Anna, I've made this clear to you before.You should've mentally prepared yourself for this.But now, you're telling me that I owe you?"

Despite being with her for so many years, Brian never had feelings for her.Tears started rolling down Anna's cheeks.

"Fine! You don't owe me anything.I made a fool of myself.I hate you, Brian! And I hate myself for falling in love with you! She resented her love for him, but she didn't regret it.She had never regretted falling in love with this man, and she would never regret it.Brian watched as Anna ran out of the office.

Everything was so chaotic right now, but he couldn't force himself to want anyone other than Ayla.

Meanwhile, Ayla was wandering the streets all alone.

She realized that it was immature of her to skip work, but she didn't do it on purpose.

She was just afraid of giving in to Brian's whims all the time.

As she kept on walking, she didn't pay attention to the passing cars along the road.

The world was so small that she eventually saw the person that she had hoped never to see again.

Haley had been talking to Lucas along the way.She wasn't paying attention to the road.

On top of that, she hadn't renewed her driver's license that she had been using abroad, and yet she insisted on driving.

Unfortunately, she didn't notice that she would accidentally knock down Ayla.
