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

She was right.

It was true that they were standing next to each other right now, but her heart and soul were distant.It was as if they were thousands of miles apart.

Brian didn't like how it felt.

Normally, he could control anything, but for some reason, he could never control her.She was the only person who refused to be controlled."Ayla, I really want to see what's in your heart,"

Brian said as he looked into her eyes.

Ayla just smirked at him.

"You wouldn't want to know what lies beneath the darkness of this heart, Mr.Clark."

If he had understood how she felt two years ago, things wouldn't have ended up this way.There was no way he could understand her heart.

And knowing that her heart was once again giving into him, she didn't want him to understand.

"You are not me.How the heck would you know whether I want to or not?"

'This woman is so self-righteous.When did she learn to be this way?"Because I know you well," she said.

Ayla raised her head to look at his face.

Indeed, she knew him well.

If he ever found out that he had finally succeeded in winning over her heart again, would he once again drive her away like what he did two years ago? She would rather stay with him, arguing every single day with each other, than be worlds away from him.Brian heard those words come out of her mouth.

It might be true that she knew him all too well, but she didn't dare to fall in love with him.

And even if she had fallen in love with him again, she would rather keep those feelings suppressed

"Should I be satisfied with what we have now? '' he thought.

Being subjected to his deep gaze made Ayla feel a bit uncomfortable, so she stared at the floor and his shiny black shoes instead.

"Why did you suddenly stop talking? Weren't you showing me how eloquent you've become?"

He had thought that she had learned to be witty, but it turned out that she was still the same as she used to be.

Then, he eyed her from head to toe.She looked so gorgeous in her deep V-neck dress, but he didn't want her wearing something like this.

Because he wanted to enjoy her beauty alone.

He wanted to have every fiber of her being to himself.
