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

Upon seeing that Ayla was about to reach for the glass again, Brian thought that she was planning to drink herself to death.It was already generous of him to allow her to drink this much, and yet she still wanted to keep drinking.

Although, how could he expect a drunk woman to be aware of her actions? Before Ayla could firmly grasp the glass, Brian snatched it away from her hand and drank it himself.

"My wine..."

Ayla was drunk.

The looming fear she always had whenever Brian was around, had been cast aside by her mind.

Despite the strange glances they were getting, he picked her up and brought her outside the bar.

A gust of cold wind blew past them, causing Ayla to shiver involuntarily.She snuggled up to him, and called out Lucas’ name subconsciously.

"Ayla!"

Brian had been trying to make up for all the suffering he had put her through, and he had been gentle to her all this time.

But despite all of his efforts, she still couldn't move on from Lucas.He then opened the car door and threw her into the back seat, causing her head to accidently hit the door.

"Ouch!"

As she rubbed her aching forehead, sobriety gradually came to her.

"Why are you being so crass against me?"

Ayla rolled her eyes at Brian.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"Ayla! Don't push your luck just because I've been treating you well lately!"

He clasped her neck tightly with his hand.

Had he lacked compassion for her, he would've strangled her without uttering a single word.

However, Brian couldn't bring himself to hurt Ayla.He knew that she had used him as an excuse to escape Lucas this afternoon, but Brian was willing to do it for her.He had gone the extra mile by letting her know about Lucas and Haley's relationship.

Brian even returned Ayla's ring to her as a compromise because he knew that if he kept forcing her to do his bidding, it would only push her further away from him.

And so, the only viable course of action was to back away for now.

Just as he had expected, his plan succeeded.
