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

Regardless of how sore her hands felt, Ayla grabbed her bag, and said, "How about this, Mr.Collins? I'll help you get out of here.Outsiders are not allowed to stay in the school for too long, so I'll just tell the guard you were here to help me with the work in the library."

Thinking that her suggestion was reasonable, Lucas said, "Thanks for your help."

"It's no big deal.Anyway, let's move it!"

Ayla flashed him a beaming smile.

Perhaps she was the type of girl who would easily trust people.

She showed her Student ID to the guard and said something to him, and then she and Lucas ran out of the school quickly.

"It's okay now.You can go home quickly.I'm going home, too."

Lyle must've been waiting for a while now, so Ayla had to get home as soon as possible.

As soon as she turned around, Lucas grabbed her wrist.

"Lala, you helped me.How about I treat you to dinner?" he asked.

Glancing at her watch, she said, "I'm sorry, Mr.Collins, but it's getting late, and I have to go home."

Lucas looked at the car nearby and saw a middle-aged man step out of it.

"It seems that someone has come to pick you up, so never mind.But maybe we can just have lunch together at that restaurant tomorrow.Would that be fine with you?"

He pointed at an ordinary restaurant across the campus.

Lucas seemed that he knew her well.If he suggested a high-end restaurant, she might've declined right away.

However, a simple meal at a simple restaurant was something she couldn't refuse.When Ayla returned to the villa, she insisted on staying at her room in the servants' house.The main villa was dark, indicating that Brian hadn't come home yet.

It looked like he had become quite busy after his vacation.

Maria cooked dinner for her and asked her to eat before she went back to her room.

Meanwhile, Lucas was holding a glass of red wine in front of the French window of his apartment.

He didn't expect to run into Ayla today.It was as if they were fated to meet each other.

"What's the matter, Lucas? Are you not in the mood?"

A voluptuous woman approached, taking the glass from his hand, and drinking it down in one gulp.She then kissed him and transferred some of the wine into his mouth.

"What are you doing here?"

Lucas pulled her away from him, his eyes turning colder than before.

"I heard that you were back, so I came to see you."

This woman was close enough to him that she had a spare key to his apartment.
