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

Chapter 175: The Man In The Past 

Ayla took a sip of the honey water and smiled.

"Ms.Evans, I'm afraid that I can't go back to how things were in the past."

Even if she wanted to go back, she didn't have the courage to do so, because she would just end up being miserable again.

"But you need to remember that some things out there are worth fighting for, Lala." Yareli was right.

Many years ago, she lost something, and she couldn't get it back anymore.

"Ms.Evans, you have no idea how much getting your heart broken can drive you towards despair."

Ayla knew that she was no longer strong enough to allow herself to experience heartbreak.

"Oh, this is too depressing to talk about.Never mind.Just let nature take its course.Don't force yourself to do anything that you don't want to.I'm only telling you this for your own good.Do you understand? Sometimes, when you let go of someone you love, they might never come back," Yareli remarked.

Ayla nodded.

"I know that all too well, Ms.Evans."

She already knew that, but she just didn't want to do it.

Perhaps because she was too afraid of the outcome.

They kept chatting until the party almost reached its conclusion.

The only reason they stopped was because Brian came in and asked them to conclude the party together.

As soon as the party ended, he asked the chauffeur to drive Yareli and Ayla home.

"Ms.Evans, are you going to stay in A City for a bit longer this time?"

Actually, Ayla was being mentored by Yareli in many different aspects.

Even though they didn't talk over the phone every day, they still sent e-mails to each other every two or three days.

"Yes.I was actually planning to stay for fifteen days.There's something I have to do."

This time around, Yareli was here to deal with both official business and personal matters.She was hoping to find her daughter.

And although the chances were slim to none, she didn't want to give up.
