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

As soon as Brian came back, the servant brought him a cup of coffee.And when she was about to leave, he stopped her.

"Wilma, get a cup of milk for Lala."

However, Ayla shook her head in refusal.

"No, thanks.I don't want one."

"Have a glass of milk before you go to bed.Go to sleep early.You have work tomorrow."

Brian was implying that she was almost late for work today, so she should be earlier tomorrow.

However, she wasn't sleepy yet.If she were sleepy, she would've locked the door and gone to sleep.Her mind was a mess as she thought about Lucas’ matter.She thought that she might've made the wrong decision.

If she hadn't returned that time, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

"What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about Lucas?"Brian asked calmly, noticing that she was staring blankly into space again.

‘What on earth is on her mind?’ Glancing back at him, Ayla asked, "How can I miss him? Now that you're here with me, do I really need to think of another man?" Brian fixed his gaze at her bare face.

Even with such fair skin, free from embellishments, she was still so beautiful and charming that it caused him to gradually fall for her.

"Whether it's true or not, I like it."

Wearing a smile, he picked Ayla up and carried her to the bedroom.She wrapped her arms around his neck.

What was about to happen was unavoidable, and she didn't want to escape anyway.

As he stood beside the sofa with a glass of wine in his hand, Lucas contemplated on how he could help Ayla.

Not only did he want to take her away from Brian, he also hoped that she wouldn't be taken advantage by anyone anymore.

Back then, he had used her for his own interests as well, but now, he wanted to make up for his sins with all his might.

However, Tatum had been putting pressure on Lucas.

Recently, there was even a batch of goods that had been confiscated by Jaime.

Tatum lost his temper, so he asked Lucas to take actions against Brian at once.

Lucas knew that he shouldn't follow that order for Ayla's sake, but he didn't have much time to delay what he had planned to do.
