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

Chapter 160: Two Of A Kind 

Ayla lowered her head, her gaze fastened to the shiny, black shoes before her.Her sight traveled upwards and met with the eyes of the man that owned them.

"Why are you here?"

Brian didn't plan to go there, but the thought of Ayla all alone changed his mind.

However, he did not expect the scene that greeted him.

Lucas hadn't explained himself probably for Ayla's own good.

Perhaps he too, wanted to protect Ayla.

The disappointment on her face didn't go unnoticed by Brian.

‘Does Ayla really care about Lucas?’ Brian carefully kept his roiling emotions from showing on his face.

"Can't I be here?"

Despite her unhappiness, Ayla forced a smile.

Seeing this, Brian was irritated almost immediately.

Why did she pretend to be strong in front of him? Ayla looked at Brain and shook her head.

"I didn't mean that."

She didn't want to let Brian see her embarrassment.

She had always told him that she would rather be with Lucas, but how could she keep up the pretense when Haley introduced herself as Lucas’ legitimate fiancee? "Shall we get going? Didn't you have something else to do?"

Brian wrapped his arm around Ayla's slender waist and gently led her towards the elevator.

She reluctantly followed, as Zayn, who had been accompanying her, had left earlier.

"You were aware of everything that was happening, weren't you?" Ayla asked.

Their bodies almost made contact in the constricted confines of the elevator.

Ayla felt disconcerted as Brian's hot breath touched her skin.

"Yeah," Brian replied quietly.

He didn't bother lying to Ayla.He was certain he knew more about Lucas and Haley than she did.

"You've always known, haven't you?"

Ayla regarded him thoughtfully.

Did he do all of this for her sake? Was she being too stubborn? She suddenly felt a twinge of tenderness in her heart.

Brian enveloped Ayla tightly in his strong arms, and rested his chin atop her head.

His voice was soft when he spoke.
