A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Vincent’s body stiffened. At the thought of Lucas wearing women’s clothes, his heart raced and his breathing became involuntarily heavier.

No wonder Lucas always wears feminine clothes at home. Was it actually because of that?

Vincent’s body relaxed. He pretended to be calm and asked,

– How did you know?

– He told me himself.

Vincent felt a little uncomfortable. Lucas hadn’t wanted to talk to anyone at home, yet he had said so many things to Lyana.

Lyana continued to massage Vincent. Curious, she asked,

– What is the name of your heartless friend?

Vincent was left speechless.

Lyana’s heart really ached for Lucas. She wanted to find an opportunity to teach her father a lesson.

Vincent’s gaze fell on the mirror in the dressing table opposite him. In the mirror, he could see Lyana clench her teeth in anger.

Vincent paused for a moment before continuing:

– He seems to have the same last name as me.

Lyana frowned. What was the difference between this answer and not answering?

Could it be that Vincent doesn’t want to answer?

Lyana couldn’t bother to massage Vincent’s shoulders anymore. She retracted her hand and said calmly:

– It’s time.

Vincent swung his shoulders slightly. Indeed, his shoulders were much better than before. After thinking, he turned to look at Lyana, who was walking towards the closet.

– Could there be a misunderstanding between father and son?

Lyana was about to wash up when she heard Vincent’s words. Her beautiful fox eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at him unhappily.

– Are you looking for an excuse for your heartless friend?”

Vincent was left speechless.

– You guys always have an excuse. It’s clearly your fault. Lyana looked at Vincent unhappily, her tone unfriendly.

– I don’t want to talk to you.

With that, Lyana took her bathrobe and headed for the bathroom. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She slammed the bathroom door, expressing her displeasure.

Vincent sat down by the bed and looked quietly at the bathroom door.

It was the first time he had seen Lyana so irrational. She seemed to care a lot about Lucas when she got angry in front of him.

After taking a shower, Lyana crawled into bed with her back to Vincent. She didn’t want to see that bastard at all.

The next day.

When Lyana woke up, there was no one near her.

She remembered being angry with Vincent last night. What puzzled her was that Vincent wasn’t angry.

In her bewilderment, she thought she had seen Vincent cover her with a blanket in the middle of the night.

It was really strange.

Could it be that Vincent is a masochist?

How is it possible ?

Let’s forget it, let’s not think too much!

After washing up, she went downstairs. In the living room, she saw old Madame Sanchez sitting on the sofa, dazed.

Lyana felt that old Madame Sanchez seemed to have aged instantly.

Lyana knew very well that even though old Madame Sanchez had chased Julie away and didn’t want to see her again, she couldn’t help but miss her.

Kinship ties could not be severed.

You can only adapt to this sort of thing slowly over time.

Lyana gathered her thoughts and walked over to the old lady. She greeted him with a smile,

– Hello grandmother.

Hearing Lyana’s voice, old lady Sanchez suddenly came to her senses. With a smile, she took Lyana’s hand and sat down next to her. She said warmly,

– Hello, Lyana.

– My child, did you sleep well last night?

Old Madame Sanchez looked at Lyana gently.

– Yes quite.

Lyana clearly remembered dreaming about the dead child again last night.

If this child hadn’t died, he would probably be the same age as Lucas!

She dreamed of her child at night because she talked about Lucas before going to bed…

Old Madame Sanchez gave a slight nod. She looked at Lyana guiltily and said:

– Lyana, it’s Grandma’s fault for what happened to Julie. I didn’t bring her up well and let her do such a thing. If I had educated her well at the time, she might not have taken the wrong path and put you in danger. I apologize to you now.

When Lyana heard Old Lady Sanchez’s words, she shook her head and said,Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

– Grandma, this case has nothing to do with you. In fact, she is already an adult. She is already capable of assuming legal responsibilities. You can’t blame yourself for his mistakes.

When old Madame Sanchez heard this, she was so touched that her eyes turned red. If Julie could be so reasonable, she wouldn’t have been kicked out.

Thinking of Julie, Old Madame Sanchez’s heart sank again.

In fact, the reason Lyana was so determined to hunt Julie was mainly because Julie had poisoned Old Lady Sanchez. She didn’t want Old Mrs. Sanchez to be hurt again.

Lyana held Old Lady Sanchez’s hand tightly and gently comforted her.

– Grandma, don’t worry. Don’t be sad anymore.

When Old Mrs. Sanchez heard Lyana’s words, she gave a slight nod. She looked at Lyana, wanting to say something but hesitated.

Seeing Old Lady Sanchez’s expression, Lyana knew she had something to say. She smiled and asked:

– Grandma, is there anything else you want to tell me?

Old Lady Sanchez was slightly stunned. A trace of hesitation crossed her eyes, but she still asked directly:

– Lyana, do you know stone games?

Lyana nodded. She didn’t expect Old Lady Sanchez to play this game too.

– A little. Grandma, what’s wrong?

Old Mrs. Sanchez heaved a sigh of relief and asked with a smile:

– Have you heard of a necklace called the Moon Goddess?

Lyana nodded. When the Moon Goddess necklace first appeared, she also paid attention to it. However, she hadn’t been able to find him for a long time.

– Grandma, do you want this necklace? Lyana asked.

Old Mrs. Sanchez nodded and said:

– Initially, I wanted Julie to help me get it back, but now that I’ve already kicked her out, I can’t ask her to help me again. I wanted Laura to go too, but she doesn’t know anything about stone games. I’m also afraid that she is cheated! You also know that with Vincent’s health, he won’t be able to go that far.

Lyana immediately understood what old Mrs. Sanchez meant. She smiles and says:

– Grandma, maybe I can try to find the necklace. However, do you know where it is?

– In my country. It is a country where the stone game culture is widespread. And my friend told me that the Moon Goddess necklace is there too.

Old Mrs. Sanchez paused for a moment before continuing:

– The CEO of HH Group is preparing to hold a banquet on stone games in MY country. The first prize winner will receive the Moon Goddess.

Lyana had heard of the famous HH Group CEO before. He was obsessed with stone games.

Lyana didn’t expect the Moon Goddess to be in her hands.

Old Madame Sanchez’s frown deepened. She sighed and said:

– This place is very messy. There are people from all walks of life. At first, I didn’t want you to take the risk, but I really couldn’t find anyone to confide in…

Madame Sanchez paused, her gaze settling on Lyana’s face. With a serious expression, she said:

– I have only you.

– Don’t worry, Grandma. I will work hard to get you the moon goddess.

Old Mrs. Sanchez heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

– William Royer happens to be going too. You can both go there together so you can take care of each other along the way.

Lyana remembered the first time she saw William. He seemed to be a bit unhappy with her. After a moment of hesitation, she quickly said:

– Grandma, in fact, I can take care of myself…

– Lyana, I know you’re very exceptional and capable of taking care of yourself, but I’ll still worry about you if I let you go alone.

Matriarch Sanchez held Lyana’s hand tightly and gently interrupted her.

Lyana pursed her lips slightly and didn’t insist further.

When she arrived at the airport, her phone rang. She opens it and sees it’s a message from Lucas.

– Aunt, do you have time today? I want to pay you back what I owe you?

When Lyana saw this message, the corners of her lips involuntarily curled up. She immediately responded.
