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

Everyone returned to their party mood once Ayla left.

Her leaving didn't affect the party much.

The party was still lively.

Toby, however, looked at the way she went from time to time.

Did Lala run away? What if something happened to her? Although he was engaged, and she was married, he still cared for her.

What a ridiculous situation they were stuck in! They didn't even get a chance to explain things to each other.

Few minutes later, Molly went to the restroom to fix her makeup.

When she was about to enter the washroom, Ayla came out and saw Molly.

She nodded politely and greeted her, "Miss Smith."

"Mrs.Clark, you don't need to be so polite with me.You can call me by my name.Also, since you and Toby are friends, you must also call me Molly."

After applying the face powder on her face, she took out a red lipstick and applied it as well.

Then she turned to Ayla and gave her a disdainful smile.

"Miss Smith, you've misunderstood.The relationship between me and Toby is nothing like what you've interpreted," Ayla explained.

Perhaps she had a little hope in her relationship with Toby in the past, but after today's face off, it was gone.

"I could only hope so.Anyway, I'm going to marry Toby.You're also invited with Mr.Clark!" Molly smiled.

After Ayla smiled back with a nod, they both went back to the banquet hall, pretending to develop a friendship between them.

"Molly."

When Toby saw Molly and Lala coming back together, he felt uneasy.

However, Molly overlooked his reaction and smiled enthusiastically.

"Toby, Mrs.Clark just congratulated us! Shall we drink a toast to her?"

"Molly, Lala doesn't..."

Before he could complete his sentence, Molly already had handed a glass of wine to Ayla.

"Mrs.Clark, please.For good times' sake, let's drink.I heard that Mr.Clark is very good at drinking.You shouldn't have a low tolerance, therefore," Molly said teasingly.

Ayla being the polite girl that she was, couldn't refuse her.

"Miss Smith, Mr.Brown, I wish you a happy married life together!"

Ayla said then raised her glass and drank it up in one gulp.

"Mrs.Clark, wow.You really have a high tolerance.I'll join you too."

Molly also drank it up in one gulp.

The two women found it a way to express their inner turmoil.
