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

Chapter 34: I Can't Say No 

Ayla sat in the car as Brian drove her back.

Outside, the rain was getting heavier and heavier on their way to the villa.

As soon as they pulled up the driveway, Maria came out with an umbrella and greeted them, "Mr.Clark, Mrs.Clark, welcome back."

"Thank you for driving me home," Ayla said as she walked alongside Brian into the house.

"You can ask the driver to take you anywhere in the future," Brian replied.

He went straight to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

"No, thanks.I won't go out again."

There was clear disappointment and despair in Ayla's tone.

"Are you sure? I thought you didn't like it here."

Brian didn't even look at her as he spoke and his voice sounded cold.

He could instantly tell what she was thinking, especially since Ayla could never really hide her feelings.He knew exactly what she thought and wanted to say.

"Mr.Clark?"

‘'What did he mean?’' she wondered.

Could she finally get in and out of the estate freely? 

"As I said, as long as you know perfectly well what you should and shouldn't do outside, you can go out as you please."

After all, Brian could easily learn wherever she was with a phone call.

With his permission, Ayla went back to school.

She even gave Brian her schedule even though she knew that he wouldn't even read it.

The driver, Lyle, picked her up every day.

She would go to school whenever she had classes and would stay in the villa during her days off.

She seldom went to the library now.

She only went there whenever she needed to borrow some specific books and references.

"Mrs.Clark, dinner is ready."

When Maria went upstairs, she saw Ayla sitting in front of her desk and reading a book.

Maria immediately thought, '’She's such a good girl! I don't understand why Mr.Clark doesn't like her? Why does he ignore her every time?”

"Thank you, Maria.I'll be right there."

Ayla turned off the light in her room and asked, "Won't he come back tonight?"
