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

Chapter 72: The Pain Numbed Her And Made Her Cold

'What's the point?' Ayla sneered.

Right now, everything was pointless to Ayla.

If he wanted to tell her something, he would.

But if he didn't want her to know anything, or if he was going to take another woman on a business trip, then it was better if he didn't tell her.

"What time is your flight?"

Ayla said to him after a long time of hesitating to speak.

Was she beginning to care about him? She had barely ever asked him about anything, not even what he wanted for dinner.

But no matter what she cooked, Brian never complained.

As he rested his chin on her slender shoulder, he said, "Send me off at the airport."

She didn't have the right to refuse him.Her face was a bit swollen, but she didn't feel any pain.They were seated at the back of the car.

Ayla looked out the window at the vast snowy land.

"It's so beautiful," she muttered.This winter, she had lost everything, and her heart was sealed in ice, causing it to become colder than snow.

She felt so numb that the only way she could fall asleep was through taking sleeping pills every night.

If it weren't for Brian putting pressure on her, she might've swallowed all the pills to forget everything.

Embracing her, he said, "Accompany me on the business trip."

The sound of his voice was so calm and certain, but somehow, there was still a bit of doubt in it.

Ayla shook her head.

"I'm not used to it."

Never had she left this city, and she didn't have any plans to do so either.

At least not right now.

"You're so stubborn.I'm starting to believe that you only agreed with Arlene to be her substitute and marry into the Clark family because of my wealth."

Nobody in this world could be richer than Brian.

He was enjoying a good life, but that was only because he made greater efforts than everyone else.

"That's right.I'm tired of being poor, so I came after your money."

Ayla didn't deny his claim.

Maybe he wasn't the only person thinking that.

Perhaps Toby, Arlene, and all the members of the Smith family were of the same mind.

She was a girl who had nothing.

What else could she want other than money? Didn't she choose to do this because she wanted to have more? But despite what she said, Brian didn't get mad at her.
