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

Ayla got up from the bed and went to the study.

Meanwhile, Lucas was standing in the study, talking on the phone.

Little did he know that the door wasn't firmly closed.

"Dad, I'm not gonna go back right now.I'll go when I want to go back.You don't have to force me."

Tatum had lost everything because Brian successfully foiled every one of his plans, so he needed to ask for Lucas' help.

In truth, Lucas wasn't opposed to the idea of going back, he was just concerned about Ayla.

If she weren't suffering from the drug addiction right now, he might consider coming back.

And considering the fact that Tatum was the one who made her suffer, Lucas bore a bit of grudge against him.

No matter how much Tatum had helped him in the past, he was still the one who had hurt his beloved woman.

"No matter how busy you may be, you can still find the time to come home, Lucas,"said Tatum.

"I said I'm not going back.End of discussion," Lucas said, turning his head towards the window.

"Besides, this is all your fault.I need some time to adjust."

"It's not my fault.I never wanted Ayla to die.I just j wanted Brian to give into my demands!"

Tatum I explained.However, Lucas refused to listen to him.

"I'm gonna hang up now.I have some things to do."

Hurriedly, he dropped the call because when he turned around, he saw that Ayla was there.

"Lucas, if you have things to do, you should go back.You don't have to stay with me all the time.It's no big deal!"she said with a smile.

During the past month, Lucas stayed by her side almost every minute of every day, which made her feel guilty.She didn't want to impose on him.

"Lucas, I'll take good care of myself.And when I get better, I'll leave."

"No!"

He felt so bad when he saw the look on her face.

There was no way he could allow Ayla to leave on her own.

She would just end up suffering even more.

Besides, he had the capacity to provide the woman he loved with a life of comfort.Ayla wasn't sure whether she could survive or not, so she thought that Lucas should just leave and forget about her.

She had something she wanted to do, and it was to see Brian's face every now and then.
