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

Ayla nodded.

"Would you mind letting me talk to him for a bit?"

In all honesty, sometimes, she had no idea how to face her problems.

"Be my guest," Brian replied as he opened the door for her.

Upon seeing Ayla approach him, Lucas threw away his cigarette.

"Lala," he greeted.

"Lucas, what are you doing here?"

She tried to force a smile, which ended up looking unnatural.

"I was worried about you, so I dropped by."

Lucas had been worrying about Ayla for so many days.He wondered what Brian might've done to harm her.

‘Would he actually do anything to make her cry and feel wronged?’ Lucas thought.

But based on what he saw, he figured that he was mistaken with his assumption.The woman he was so worried about was now intimate with another man.

Perhaps Lucas never had a place in Ayla's heart to begin with.He was just a burden to her.

Everything that he gave her, she reluctantly accepted.

Maybe she had only thought of him as a friend and not a lover all these years.

No matter how long it had been, she still hadn't forgotten about Brian.

Despite how despicable he was, he easily won over Ayla's heart.

"I'm fine."

It was true that she was fine.She didn't even need to think too much lately.

Over the past few days, Brian had only forced her once.

It was only once, but he had taken everything he could from her.
