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

Brian was an overbearing man, and Ayla couldn't do anything to change it.

So she just let him do whatever he wanted to do as long as he was happy.

Her protests were all obliterated.

On their way to the venue of the wedding, she didn't say a word.

Her mind was in a mess.

Actually, she was afraid to feel heartbroken after witnessing Toby being married to another woman.

She didn't want to think that she would never be able to rely on him from now on.

After a while, their luxury limousine slowly pulled over in front of the hotel.

Toby was dressed in a white shirt, black tuxedo, and black bow tie.

He had a faint smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes.

After all, his heart was in sorrow.

For him, this wedding was nothing.

It was only like one of his regular meetings in the company.

There was no sense of happiness and joy, only helplessness.

He wondered if Ayla knew that he was getting married today.

If she did, would she be disappointed in him? She might even think that he broke his promise.

Molly walked out of the lounge and saw Toby standing in the corridor.

He was in a daze, and there was no trace of anticipation and joy on his face.

Obviously, he wasn't excited about this wedding.

Since he saw Ayla again, he had been neglecting her.

She was no longer the only one he cared for and loved like before.

"Toby..."

She walked towards him and asked, "Why are you here?"

Toby turned around and looked at Molly.

She looked so beautiful in her handmade white wedding dress made in Italy.

But no matter how lovely she was, she was not the woman he wanted to marry.

"I'm waiting for you" he said lightly.

But the truth was, he was hiding here.

He was not in the mood to join the lively celebration in the hall.

Hearing the guests' well wishes and blessings only made him feel bitter.

"Let's go and welcome our guests then.Dad and Mom must be very busy entertaining them."

Molly held his arm, smiling happily.

The two of them then walked towards the banquet hall.
