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

Ayla didn't mean to hide from Toby, but she thought that seeing him and talking to him was completely unnecessary.

Meeting him again only made her sad.

She loved him so much that she couldn't easily forget her feelings for him.

It was unfortunate that he had to be with another woman.

Besides, that other woman also cared for him very much.

However, Ayla had already lost the right to love him since she was Brian's wife now.

For so many years, she thought that he was the love of her life.

Of course, it broke her heart to see him again this way.

She wanted to forget, run away, and hide because there could be no future between them.

"Lala, look at me! Why won't you look at me?"

Toby held her by the arms and shook her.Why was she avoiding him? Was it because of Brian or Molly? 

"Toby, don't do this.Other people might misunderstand."

Ayla tried to struggle and protest, but she felt helpless against him.

"Then tell me, how have you been these days? Why weren't you answering your phone? Did you change your number?"

Since Toby couldn't get in touch with her, he had been feeling anxious and worried recently.

Now he finally saw her in front of him, but she was trying to avoid him.

This made him sad.

"Toby, from now on, we can no longer talk or see each other.Just pretend that you never came back, okay? Can you do that?"

It might have sounded like she had lost all her love for him, but the truth was that she felt like she could no longer love anyone.

Perhaps if Molly weren't around, she could continue to love Toby.

Or if she only had her freedom, nothing would stand in the way of their relationship.

But at this moment, she had nothing.What right had she to love him? 

"Are you in love with him, Lala? That man is a devil.He will never love you!"

Toby feared that she had already fallen in love with Brian.

He knew that his feelings for her had never changed.

But what about her? Had she given up so easily? Was she willing to spend the rest of her life with that man? Eternally humiliated and mistreated by him? Ayla knew what kind of person Brian was.
