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

Ayla was in a light trance.

Yes, she had been thinking when Brian would come home.

But she didn't expect that it would be at this time.And it seemed that he had been there for a while.It was just that she didn't notice him.

"You're back."

She finally managed to greet him after standing there in a daze for a long time.

Brian glanced at the snowman coldly before he turned to look at Ayla's flushed face.

"Do you still want to play?"

Of course, she wanted to play wildly in the snow for a long time.But when she looked at his cold eyes, she could only shake her head.  

Without saying a word, he held her cold hand and took her back into the villa.The villa had a heating system, so the inside was more comfortable.

Brian took off his jacket and threw it on the sofa casually.

His gaze swept over the flowers on the side table, which added warmth in the living room even in the cold winter.

Ayla had really taken this place as her home.She had added a woman's touch to this cold and empty villa.

But he wasn't angry at all.He didn't seem to hate such a change.

As long as she didn't cross his bottom line, he would let her do whatever she wanted.

After all, he believed that she would never go too far.

"Mr.Clark, what do you want to drink?" Ayla asked.

Standing aside, she felt that the atmosphere around them was a little depressing.

"Coffee," Brian replied without even looking at her.

His eyes were fixed on the TV screen.

She glanced at him and asked tentatively, "Can you drink something else instead?"

His face looked tired.It seemed like he hadn't taken a good rest recently.

"No," he directly refused.

"But I think..."

He turned his head and glared at her.

Such a sharp gaze made her swallow the rest of the words she wanted to say.

Ayla turned around and walked to the kitchen.

"Does Mr.Clark want to drink coffee?"

Maria immediately asked upon seeing her.

"Yes." She nodded helplessly.
