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

Brian's eyebrows knitted in a frown.

Was Arlene walking back home because she had no money? It was hard to believe that the daughter of the Woodsen family had a crisis of money.

Maria and Ayla's conversation confused both Brian and Jaime.

However, Brian only glared at her and said nothing.

His icy stare made Ayla shiver.

She lowered her eyes and said, "Mr.Clark, I won't come back this late next time."

Ayla was so disappointed of her misfortune today.Her intention of going out today went down in vain.She couldn't tell anything to Toby.

Brian's eyebrows furrowed.

"There will be no next time.If it happens again, you don't have to come back."

Brian was astonished of her patience and energy.

It was so late and she was wandering around the road alone.How did she even think that she could walk herself back to home?

Ayla didn't say anything.

She just lowered her head and watched Brian walk into the main villa.

Jaime gave her a curious look before he drove away.

Meanwhile, Molly practically dragged Toby back to her house.

It was rare for Hayden Smith and Miley Jones to see their daughter and future son-in-law come home together.

"Dad, Mom! See, Today I brought Toby along with me," said Molly with a smile.

She held Toby's arm closely and pulled him down to sit on the sofa beside her.

The servant immediately served two cups of tea and fruits.

"You two went shopping? Why did you buy so many things?"

Miley noticed the driver bring in more than ten shopping bags.

"Mom, don't come at me.I bought some for you too! See? I'm a good daughter," said Molly, grinning.

"Of course, you are! Tara, bring some soup for Molly and Toby," Miley ordered the servant.

"Mom, let Toby live here tonight, please?"

Molly leaned her head against Toby's shoulder and pleaded to Miley.

Toby however, wasn't feeling good.

He was so worried for Lala.

Since she ran away like that, it had been bugging him.

In fact, he doubted that Molly had said something to her, but he couldn't question Molly.

Everything he had now was given by the Smith family.

If he left the Smith family, he would lose everything he had achieved.
