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

Chapter 36: Making Decisions About Lala 

Ayla stared at him unhappily.

"If you don't want me to go out, then stop me! You make all the rules, don't you? It's up to you whether I can leave or not!"

"Good," said Brian coldly.

"You understand what your situation is."

He was sure that Ayla and Toby's meeting at the school this afternoon had been the first time.

After today, Toby probably wouldn't be so blatant anymore, even if he wanted to see her again.

Meanwhile, Toby went to see Molly.

She met him at the door of the villa.

"You're back! Where have you been? I called the company and they said that you left work early today."

"I just had something to deal with," he replied evasively.

"Why? Is anything wrong?"

Molly did not want to mention Toby and Ayla's relationship.

She preferred to pretend as though nothing had ever happened between them.

"No, I just missed you," she said brightly.

"I thought you might be coming home early when I heard you left the office."

She slid her arm around his waist and led him to the living room.

They sat down together on the sofa.

Hayden was also in the living room.

He put down the newspaper he was reading and looked at the two of them.

"Molly, don't nag Toby.You know how busy he is with work.He's already canceled so many social engagements recently."

"Dad, don't call me a nag," Molly pouted.

She added, "You know I don't mind him working.I just want him home instead of socializing outside after work!"

After all, Molly was not blind, nor was she stupid.

How could she fail to notice that most of Toby's so-called social engagements required him to go out with other businessmen to flirt with women in bars and pay women in brothels? She did not like it at all.

Toby belonged to her.

If any other woman dared to touch him, Molly vowed she would make that woman pay for her mistake.

Hayden sighed.

"Toby has no choice, Molly.It's inevitable.If he refuses to participate, it will have a negative impact on his career."

Turning to look at Toby, he said, "By the way, I know you're in charge of most of the company's affairs now, and I don't want to interfere.But don't you think we've made too many concessions to Mr.Clark, just to get him to cooperate with us?"
