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

The moment Ayla arrived at the restaurant, she noticed that Hayden was already waiting for her.

"Uncle Hayden, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"It's fine.I don't have anything better to do today.I suddenly thought of you, so I decided to give you a call.Did I interrupt your work?"

He smiled at her and poured her a glass of water.

"Not really." Ayla shook her head.

In all honesty, she actually needed to relax.She had almost finished her design, so she didn't have to worry about it that much.

"I heard that the Clark Group will hold a fashion show next month.You're their designer, right? Then you must be very busy!"

Although Hayden barely cared about the company's dealings, he was still keen on what was happening around him.

Moreover, the Clark Group had invited numerous celebrities and ladies to the fashion show.

Even Miley and Molly received an invitation.It wasn't surprising that he knew about it.

Ayla took a sip of water.

"Actually, I'm not that busy.I just need to submit my design drafts, and the others will do the rest."

There were several assistant designers and interns, including an overall assistant for the Design Department.

In reality, she didn't have that much to do.

"Oh, I see.Then I'll have to see that fashion show," said Hayden.

"That's great! I'll be glad if you can attend!" Ayla grinned.

She was worried that she might be too busy to inform him of the fashion show.

As Hayden picked up some food for her, he said, "Ayla, you need to eat more to replenish your strength."

He kept his eyes on her as he happily put food on her plate.

Ayla looked so much like that woman at the airport.

The familiar figure he had seen at the airport that day might be the woman he had missed so much.

Unfortunately, he didn’t try to ascertain the truth.He regretted the fact that he didn't do it.
