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

Brian's gaze made Ayla uncomfortable, so she just shook her head reluctantly.

"No, I won't drink that much anymore."

Only when she gave him a satisfactory answer did he finally let her go.

"It's almost Chinese New Year.Pack up your things from the maids' house and move back in here.Don't make me say it again."

Since he had allowed her to meet Arlene, she must uphold her end of the bargain and move back in.

Stunned, Ayla asked, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't force me to do anything?"

Why did he change his decision overnight? She wouldn't agree to his request even if she was drunk.

"I'm making you do this for a good reason.If you want Arlene to have a good life, you need to come back."

He remembered how she went to his room every night like she was making a report recently.

At the thought of it, Brian felt very unhappy.

"I don't believe she's living a good life right now.Do whatever the hell you want, I'm not going to move back in."

She went into the bathroom and put on a bathrobe.

Upon hearing her words, Brian realized that he had given her too much freedom.

When Ayla went downstairs, she ran into Maria, causing her to tighten her garb because she felt abashed.

"Hi, Lala! You're awake.Do you happen to have a headache?" Maria asked.

"Would you like some water with honey? Allow me to make one for you!"

"No, thanks.I can do it myself.But I'm going to change my clothes first,"

Most of the servants would jump to conclusions if they saw Ayla wearing a bathrobe and coming out of the main villa this early in the morning.

When she went back to her room, she stared at herself in the mirror.

How much did she drink last night that she ended up losing consciousness? She didn't even have a clue if she vomited or not.

After changing into a more appropriate set of clothes, she walked out of the room, and soon went to her baby's grave in the backyard.

Her heart was torn.

She still couldn't forget her unborn child.

This place was exclusive to her, and nobody not even the servants were allowed to touch it.

As Brian sat at the table, staring at the dishes, he suddenly lost his appetite.

That woman disobeyed him out of the blue.

"Where's Ayla?"

Since she left early in the morning, he hadn't seen her yet.
