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

Ayla waited for Toby in the cafe, but he didn't come, and it was already dark outside.

Would he come today? She was confident that her Toby would come.

But after the night fell, when he didn't show up, she decided to leave.

If she didn't leave now, she wouldn't be able to catch the last bus.

 When she was about to leave, a familiar figure walked into the cafe.

"I'm sorry, Lala.I'm late."

She beamed at him.

Finally, her Toby had come.

But, her smile only lasted for a short moment.

How would she explain things to him? She didn't even know how to start the conversation.

Although, she had prepared for this meeting and thought of many ways she could explain, but now they seemed not good enough.

"Lala, what's wrong? You look unhappy.Why? Are you sad because I'm late?"

Toby reached out and held her hand.

His eyes were full of concern.

"I'm really sorry, Lala.I was busy with some important work." Ayla shook her head.

"It's alright.I'm not upset because of that." Toby smiled.

"I thought, you are angry with me.Are you hungry? Let's eat something first, then I'll take you home."

Ayla was about to say something, but Toby didn't notice it.He called the waiter over to order the food.

In fact, Toby didn't have much time.

When he and Molly were at the mall, he lied to her that there was some emergency in the company and he needed to be present there.

So, he must return to Molly as soon as possible.

Ayla refrained herself from speaking.

He had been busy all day long, he must be hungry.

Also, it'd be the same if they talked after eating.

She also wanted to spend more time with him.

However, things didn't go as she had thought.

The steak was just served in front of them when Toby said, "Lala.Let's eat!"

Toby considerately cut the steak into small pieces before putting them on the plate in front of her.

"Thank you Toby."

Ayla was touched by Toby's kind gesture.

He was still so considerate to her.

He had never changed.
