A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Worried that Lyana wouldn’t tell him, Vincent repeated:

“I will be by your side forever.

When she heard Vincent’s words, her eyes gradually lit up, and the unease in her heart slowly dissipated. She hesitated for a moment before asking:

“Have you ever seen Madame Royer?”

“I met her when I was young.

He says calmly. He thought Lyana missed his parents and immediately understood.

“They all miss you. When do you plan to meet them?

“Now that the enemy is in the dark and I’m in the light, you better be careful.

She meant that she didn’t want to meet Madame Royer. She was really worried. If her abduction was linked to Mrs. Royer, what should she do?

“You’re right, but if you meet online, there shouldn’t be any problems,” Vincent said.

Lyana pursed her lips and looked at Vincent with a worried look.

“What do you think of Madame Royer?”

When he heard Lyana’s words, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly understood why Lyana’s expression was so strange just now.

Could it be because someone was sowing discord?

With this thought in mind, he looked seriously at Lyana and said word for word:

– She is a very good and very gentle person. Besides, she loves you a lot, more than she loves herself.

When she heard Vincent’s words, the dark clouds in her heart instantly disappeared. The sun appeared, as well as the rainbow.

His whole world became warm and bright.

Vincent’s words were very convincing, and she couldn’t help but believe them.

His mother must have loved him.

If his mother didn’t love him, why would she have suffered from his departure? Why would she build an ancestral hall for her? Why would she leave this sad place?

“You are his first daughter. To her, you are extremely special.

He held Lyana’s hand firmly and continued:

“Before giving birth to you, she had always wanted a girl. Unfortunately, his wish never came true. She had been waiting impatiently for it for a long time.

When she heard Vincent’s words, she felt a little sad.

She had even suspected her mother of having kidnapped her just now. She really shouldn’t have.

Lyana looked at Vincent and smiled.

– THANKS !

If Vincent hadn’t told her that, she might have gone too far.

It seemed that what was seen might not be true.

If Mom had done the DNA test herself, why hadn’t she found anything wrong? Could someone have swapped mom’s samples?

It looked like she had to start investigating from the forensic department.

Vincent tucked Lyana’s hair behind her ear and said softly:

– Breakfast is ready. Lucas is waiting for you downstairs! I’ll come down and wait for you first.

“I’ll come down after I’ve finished packing.

She says with a smile. Seeing Vincent turn to leave, his gaze fell on her back.

Although he was not in good health, his figure was not bad.

From behind, Vincent’s back looked tall and imposing, which gave a sense of security.

For a moment, she felt Vincent’s back was familiar to her. In a bewilderment, it seemed to him that he had already seen him somewhere.

She looked away and continued to apply makeup.

After packing, she went downstairs.

She had just come downstairs when she saw Ornella, who was sitting on the sofa, get up immediately.

“Aunt Lyana.

She screamed as she ran towards Lyana.

Ornella ran up to Lyana and grabbed her right hand. She looked up and gave Lyana a sweet smile.

– Good morning !

“Hello, Lucas. Did you sleep well last night?

She asked softly. She reached out and touched his little face. It was so good!

Ornella remembered the story Aunty Lyana had told her last night.

It was the first time she had heard a tall tale.

Although she couldn’t remember last night’s dream, she knew it was a very sweet dream!

“Thank you, Aunt Lyana, for telling me a bedtime story.

She said gratefully. She would always remember the story Auntie Lyana had told her. She wondered if she would have the chance to listen to Auntie Lyana tell her a story in the future.

– If you like to listen to my stories before sleeping, I’ll tell you more in the future! said Lyana softly.

Ornella looked at Lyana happily and nodded vigorously.

Holding Ornella’s hand, Lyana walked towards the living room. She smiled at Matriarch Sanchez.

– Grandmother.

Matriarch Sanchez stood up and said,Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

– Breakfast is ready. Come eat with us.

During the meal, she made a sandwich for Ornella before eating it herself.

Ornella stared at the sandwich on the plate in front of her, her eyes filled with longing.

It looked like Aunt Lyana had taken care of Brother Lucas during dinner. She was really jealous of Brother Lucas and loved Auntie Lyana even more.

Aunty Lyana was kind, beautiful and knew how to take care of others. When she was with Auntie Lyana, she felt safe.

It was a sense of security his mother had never given him.

Lyana was about to eat when she saw Lucas staring blankly at the sandwich. She smiled and said softly,

“What’s wrong, Lucas?” Don’t you like it?

Ornella shook her head and said smiling

– I like this !

“I’ll send you to school after you’ve eaten.”

She smiled at Ornella and said softly.

Ornella smiled thinking about how she was going to meet Brother Lucas.

After dinner, Lyana held Ornella’s hand and walked to the parking lot.

When they pulled into the parking lot, she opened the door to the front passenger seat and carried Ornella inside, remembering to fasten her seatbelt.

Once she’s done, she heads for the driver’s seat.

She fastens her seatbelt, turns the car key and leaves the Sanchez residence.

When they left the Sanchez residence, Ornella looked disappointed. Smiling, Lyana said:

– Do you want to hear some good news?

Ornella’s eyes lit up. She tilted her head and looked at Lyana, asking in confusion,

– What good news ?

– Your mom will be here at noon today! You will soon be able to see her.

She stared at Ornella bewilderedly for a moment.

When Ornella heard Lyana’s words, her eyes lit up. She said happily,

– Really ?

“Of course it’s true.

She smiled and nodded.

As Ornella listened, her face was filled with smiles.

If mom came here, she would certainly be very happy to see her brother. This way, their family could be reunited.

It had been a long time since she had seen her mother smile.

Her mother must have been sad because she hadn’t seen her brother.

His mom could be happily ever after.

In his happiness, his gaze landed on Lyana’s face.

It was the first time she had seen someone as warm as Aunty Lyana.

Ornella sincerely says:

“Aunt Lyana, thank you for looking after me for the past two days. It is also the happiest time for me.

The red light turned red. Lyana stopped the car and rubbed Ornella’s head. She said softly:

“You will be happier in the future.

To be honest, such a pleasant life would have been unimaginable in the past.

She really loved Aunty Lyana and wanted to be with her forever.

However, she knew deep down that she still had to take care of her mom. Her mom needed her to take care of her.

The car restarted.

She looked at the scenery outside the window and continued to back away. The faces of Matriarch Sanchez, Vincent, and Lucas flashed through her mind. Eventually, his gaze gradually firmed up.

She wanted to persuade her mom to stop thinking about being with her dad.

But she didn’t know if her mom was ready.

Although she was very happy to see her mom, she couldn’t help but sigh thinking about what was going to happen next.

When they arrived at the Dongang villa, Lyana dropped Ornella off at the villa. When she met his sparkling gaze, Lyana’s heart involuntarily softened.

“Ornella, go see your brother and Aunty Chiara later. Aunt Lyana still has something to do today, so she won’t be able to accompany you.

Ornella nodded obediently.

At that moment, Chiara held Lucas’ hand and walked out of the villa.

When Lyana and Ornella saw Lucas, they were both stunned.

His mouth was wide open. After a moment, she sighed.

– Oh my god, my brother, you are really very beautiful. You are so cute.
