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

Rage flared up in Toby's heart when he saw Brian kissing Ayla.He wanted to step forward and beat Brian up, but he couldn't.He was afraid that his impulsivity would only make Ayla suffer in the end.

"Mr.Brown, I want to spend time with my wife alone.You can leave now."

Brian let go of Ayla, faced Toby, and asked him to leave.

Although Toby was still worried, he knew that he couldn't stay.

When he looked at her and saw from her eyes that she seemed fine, somehow he felt relieved.

He had no other choice but to turn around, get in his car, and drive away.

After watching Toby's car disappear, Brian turned to Ayla.

"Since I didn't allow you to go out, you let your old lover come here for a tryst, huh?" he said coldly.

There was a hint of accusation in his voice.

"No, I don't even know how he got here.You misunderstand."

After what he had witnessed, Ayla knew that it would be hard for her to explain the truth to Brian.

"Okay, fine.You don't know.But if I didn't come on time to see everything, you are going to hide it from me and say nothing, right?" Ayla lowered her head, looking aggrieved.

She didn't want to retort because she knew that if she talked and explained too much, he would think that she was being defensive.

Finally, Brian didn't force her to talk.

It turned out that he came back home early today because he had to go on a business trip.

This time, she helped him pack his luggage.

"How many days will you be away this time?"

Ayla couldn't help asking.She wasn't used to his absence now.

Before, she felt happy and relaxed every time he went on a business trip.But now, there was a sense of reluctance in her heart.She didn't know why she felt this way.

"Why do you want to know my schedule? So you can tell your old lover when to come here?"

Actually, Brian didn't know how long he would be away this time.He could only come back after he dealt with some matters there.

"If that's what you think, I can't do anything with it.I don't want to explain myself to you anymore."

Ayla felt that everything she would say made him unhappy.

Brian stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, stood up, and walked to the edge of the bed.

He then wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind.

"You look so unhappy.Is it because I am still here or because I am leaving?"

Deep in his heart, he hoped that her answer would be the latter.

"Will you believe what I say this time?"
