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

Ayla went downstairs and got into Lucas’ car, hurriedly leaving the company.He drove her back to her original apartment.  

"Lala."

Lucas had prepared two cups of tea, placing them on the table.

They had been sitting on the sofa for over ten minutes but neither of them had uttered a word.  Ayla had no clue what he wanted to talk to her about.

Was it about their past or their future together? She just couldn't wrap her head around it.

Lucas put down his teacup and sat next to her.

"What happened today was nothing but an unfortunate misunderstanding," he remarked and put his hand on hers. 

She looked up at him.

He said that she had misunderstood the incident earlier today.

But who on earth would've been mistaken? Haley was certainly pregnant, and Lucas was definitely the father.

And he still insisted that it was a mistake? Was it just her imagination or was she really wrong? 

‘No, that's impossible"

Ayla could tell from Haley's eyes just how much she loved Lucas.

That woman probably loved him so much that she was willing to do anything for him, including giving birth to their child, even if they didn't end up together.

"Lucas, you've been with her for a long time, haven't you?"

Ayla withdrew her hand and placed it on her lap.

She might've slept with Lucas for once after she was drunk, but that didn't necessarily mean they'd be together forever, but Haley's case was different.  For a moment, he was reluctant to speak.

'Maybe I have known her for a long time?’ Lucas nodded.

"I've known her for more than ten years."  He and Haley grew up together.
