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

"Do you want to hide after seeing me?"

From the corner of his eye, Brian saw that Ayla turned around and was about to leave.Ayla turned around again.

"No.I just don't want to drink water all of a sudden."

If she had known that he was downstairs, she wouldn't get out even of her room.

She didn't want to see him after all.

His return meant that he wanted to have sex with her again.

The pain that she felt every time they did it had already scared her.

"Come here,"

Brian commanded emotionlessly.

"Mr.Clark, do you need anything?"

It was so late, and there were no servants in the main villa at this hour, so she should be the one to serve him.

"Are you really used to being ordered to do things?"

Brian couldn't help wondering what kind of treatment she had received from the Woodsen family that she had become so obedient.

She could have refused to be Arlene's substitute, but she did not.

She agreed to marry him and suffered without any complaints.

Ayla gripped the corner of her shirt tightly.Did she do something to annoy him? 

"Yes, Mr.Clark.So I would rather you treat me as a servant."

With the way Brian was treating her, she thought that it was better to be a servant.

She didn't mind doing the laundry, cooking meals, and cleaning the entire villa as long as she could live her life in peace, and she had freedom.

"Why? Is something wrong? I think you've been living a good life in the past few days.Have you already gotten impatient?"

He didn't like her stubbornness, provocation, modest concession, and submission.

"Although the Woodsen family has sold me to you, I still want my freedom.Can I have it back from tomorrow onwards?"

If Brian didn't say those words just now, she wouldn't have the courage to tell him how she felt.

He would get angry at her for sure.

But she'd better tell him directly than let him find out by himself.

"I want to go to work starting tomorrow.I can just give you my schedule once I know my working time,"

Ayla said in one breath after plucking up all her courage.
