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

Ayla couldn't say no to him when Toby insisted.She wasn't sure how long she could hide the truth from him.

But if she rejected him too many times, he would be suspicious.

After leaving the cafe, Toby drove her back to her school.

"Lala, can you have dinner with me tonight?"

Toby eagerly waited for her response.

He even was very reluctant to leave Ayla.

Ayla felt guilty again to lie to him.

But she had no other choice.

She gave him a half-smile and said, "Toby, I have work tonight.Let's do it sometime later."

Toby thought for a moment and then said, "Okay! This is my card.It has my new phone number.Call me if you have time."

"Okay." Ayla nodded with a smile and took the card from him.

The card had his title printed on it.

"Executive Director and Deputy CEO of Smith Group".

After exchanging goodbyes to each other, Toby left and Ayla went back to attend her classes.

When she returned to the villa after school, Brian hadn't come back.

She was temporarily relieved for his absence.

So, Ayla helped Maria prepare the dinner and waited for Brian to come back.

She knew today she'd have to give him an explanation for her seemingly rendezvous with Toby.

"Mrs.Clark, you can have your dinner.Mr.Clark hasn't called yet.He might not return tonight."

Maria was worried about Ayla's health.

It was almost midnight now, and still she didn't eat or drink anything.

She had been waiting for Mr.Clark since she returned from school.

Ayla smiled at Maria and said, "Don't worry.I'm fine.He'll be back soon."
