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

Brian didn’t expect that he'd bump into that stupid woman while entering the villa.So, he didn't even help her when she stumbled back and fell on her bum.

His eyes turned cold as he watched her with pursed lips.

Ayla hissed in pain before raising her eyes and met with Brian's icy glare.

She gulped and apologized immediately, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice you coming."

"Who are you going to meet in such a hurry?"

Brian sneered at her making Ayla flinch.

Of course, she couldn't get lucky all the time, and the devil had to come at this time just to prove that.

"I was just going to school."

Ayla whined as she got up staggering slightly.

She refrained herself from saying anything else, because she knew he would not believe her anyway.

According to Brian, everything she said was just an excuse.

"Really?"

Obviously, Brian didn't believe her.

Ayla took a glance at her watch.

She'd be late today.

Her eyes shifted back to Brian when she noticed the red mark on his neck.

Observing it carefully, she realized it was a lipstick mark.

That meant, he was with another woman last night.

That was the reason why he didn't return home.But, she didn't care about it.

In fact, she'd be relieved if he was with other women.

He'd let her live in peace if he had other women.

 Even if it was a hopeless wish and literally would be a dream, she wanted it to happen.

After that encounter, Ayla left without saying anything further.
