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

Brian smirked.

"Are you worried about me?"

"Why should I worry about you? There are already far too many people concerned about your well-being.I'm not the only one, you know? To be honest, I'm more worried about Lucas."

In Ayla's mind, Lucas could never win against Brian.

"The more you worry about him, the more miserable he'll be!" he warned.

He didn't know whether she was bluffing or just doing this on purpose.Ayla cast a sidelong glance at Brian.

She didn't give a damn about his threat because she had nothing to fear.

But in reality, the person she worried about the most was Brian, not Lucas.Brian just cast her an indifferent glance, and drove back to the apartment.

Meanwhile, Anna was sitting alone in a bar.She had emptied the entire bottle of liquor she ordered, and yet she was still very sober.

For some reason, no matter how much she drank, it could never erase the pain she was feeling.

After everything that happened, and despite the fact that Brian kept turning a blind eye to her affection, she still loved him so much.

Her heart was still reluctant to let go.

Brian and Ayla had been getting along well, more and more each day, but Anna was all alone.

Ayla had completely taken her place.

It was understandable that Anna hated how things turned out, wasn't it?

 "Anna, have you been drinking all by yourself here?"

Linda showed up, wearing an enchanting black dress.

Anna caught her eye as soon as she got here.

Judging by that look on Anna's face, Linda was sure that the woman's foul mood was caused by Ayla.

"What are you doing here?" Anna glanced back at Linda.

She had never been sympathetic towards this woman because she knew that Linda had ulterior motives for Brian.She just never said a word about it.

Linda sat across Anna.
