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

Ayla looked down at the porridge made by Maria and got overwhelmed by her generosity.She was so touched that it made her teary.Her eyes welled up and tears streamed down her face.

"Mrs.Clark, please enjoy your breakfast.You ate nothing last night.You are still sick and I just received the news that Mr.Clark won't come back today.So, you can rest at home peacefully."

Maria gave her an encouraging smile and went back to the kitchen.

After the breakfast, Ayla put on a white coat and went to the garden.

Sitting alone on a bench, she eyed around the place.

The garden was beautiful, but she didn't like it.

Her heavy heart made it impossible to concentrate on the beauty.

The entire day she stayed at home.

But this could not go on forever.

The next day, she went to school.

Around noon, she went to the bank near the school alone.

She had some savings there.

It was accumulated from her part-time jobs.

The money was not much, but she could always work and earn more.

Ayla withdrew the money from the bank.

Her shoulders slumped low, as she left the bank and started walking back to the school.

She was adopted by the Woodsen family, but she had never thought that she would end up like this.

"Lala."

Ayla faltered on her steps, hearing that intimate call.

She didn't expect to hear it again.

The familiar call made her heart tremble slightly.

She wondered whether she had misheard.But her doubt abated when a slender figure came and stood in front of her.
