A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

– Ouch…

Vincent let out a muffled moan. The pain instantly spread throughout his body, and a cold sweat beaded on his forehead. Only then did he let her go. Her slender hands gripped the blanket from the side, as if that could ease the pain Lyana had just caused her!

Lyana’s eyes lit up little by little and she snapped out of her memories of five years ago.

Moonlight shone through the curtains, and she could vaguely see Vincent curled up on the bed.

Damn it !

What did she just do?

She seemed to have used all her strength and…

A trace of panic crossed Lyana’s face. She quickly turns on the wall lamp and looks at Vincent, who is lying on the bed.

Vincent’s eyebrows were drawn together, and the veins in his forehead and fingers bulged fiercely. His face was even paler than the snow-white sheets.

Vincent’s slightly unbuttoned shirt still revealed his sexy collarbone, which was covered in sweat, giving off a sense of beauty from being manhandled.

An ascetic demon!

It was the first time Lyana had seen Vincent like that. She looked at him with fear.

Oh no !

Vincent was about to be crippled!

He had just used his hand to calm her back.

But what had she done?

Lyana pursed her lips, looking annoyed.

– I’m sorry. I thought…

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized she had said something wrong. Vincent hadn’t wanted to do anything to her just now!

It was his imagination.

– You…

Lyana was about to speak again when she suddenly realized something and silently swallowed her words.

Should she ask him directly if his lower body was okay?

Could she ask him?

Should she ask?

To see Vincent like that…

Could he possibly be okay?

Even if it was a normal person, with his strength right now, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to resist it. Also, Vincent’s body was weak.

Lyana leaned over and approached Vincent. She saw that he was frowning, that his long eyelashes were trembling and that his eyelids were slightly red.

– Does it still hurt?

Lyana asks anxiously.

Hearing Lyana’s voice, Vincent slowly opened his eyes. His deep eyes seemed bottomless, as if he wanted to suck Lyana in.

Before Lyana could react, Vincent grabbed her waist.

The world turned, and Lyana was stuck beneath it.

She still wanted to move, but to her surprise, Vincent’s long legs were already pressing against hers. Vincent held his hands above his head with one hand.

At that time, Lyana didn’t have the strength to resist.

With such a move, the robe on Lyana’s body had already loosened, revealing her clear and sexy collarbone. Her beautiful chest was faintly discernible when she breathed, she was extremely charming.

Vincent’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and his thin lips moved slightly. His voice was low, magnetic and very dangerous.

– Mrs. Sanchez, you are too ruthless.

Mrs. Sanchez?

Lyana’s heart raced. Was Vincent reminding her of her happiness for the rest of her life?

Lyana looked at Vincent’s pale face and knew he was definitely still in pain. If she resisted forcefully, Vincent would probably suffer even more.

It seemed like she could only give in.

Lyana blinked her beautiful fox eyes, filled with apologies.

– I’m sorry. I did not do it on purpose.

Her voice was very soft, like a feather gently brushing Vincent’s chest.

Vincent looked into her charming eyes and finally let go. He raised his eyebrows slightly.

– Mrs. Sanchez, has anyone ever said that you were perfect to be an actress?

Lyana tilted her head. She was slightly puzzled, but said nothing.

After Vincent walked away, she silently turned and walked out.

Vincent leaned against the headboard of the bed, his face covered in sweat. It seemed that the pain had not eased.

Lyana breathed a sigh of relief. She remembered what had just happened. It seems that Vincent moved slightly at the critical moment.

At that thought, the guilt in his heart eased a little.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

It was only then that Lyana took the blanket to the side and carefully covered Vincent with it.

Vincent accepted it calmly.

Only then did Lyana breathe a sigh of relief. She covered him carefully with the blanket before getting into bed. With her back turned to Vincent, she lay down and covered herself with the blanket, curling up in a secure position and preparing to sleep.

Vincent looked at Lyana’s position next to him and thought about how she had covered him with the blanket. His anger has dissipated a bit.

Lyana frowned slightly, as if thinking of something. She turned to look at Vincent and smiled obediently.

– I also have something to do tomorrow. You are hurt now. Why don’t you rest earlier?

When Vincent met Lyana’s sparkling eyes, he had a different feeling in his heart, but it didn’t show on his face.

Lyana shyly turned off the lights. Seeing that Vincent hadn’t spoken, the unease in his heart dissipated. She closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.

Too much had happened tonight.

She wasn’t afraid of Vincent. She just thought that if Vincent was disabled, the Sanchez family wouldn’t be able to continue their line. She felt sorry for her grandmother and the Sanchez family.

Fortunately, he was fine.

– Lyana!

When Lyana heard Vincent’s voice, her heart skipped a beat.

Other than that, Vincent’s voice was really nice, especially when he called her name.

– Why are you so opposed to anyone approaching you?

Vincent had long since realized that as long as other people approached her, she became involuntarily nervous.

According to him, Lyana should be calm and collected, but like every time he approached her, she looked innocent and harmless, as if she was using this method to hide the fear in her heart.

If she did that once or twice, he might know it was a joke. However, she did it every time, making him feel that this matter was not so simple.

Or maybe she’s been hurt in the same way before, and it’s caused her to react reflexively, like a protective mechanism?

When Lyana heard Vincent’s words, her heart couldn’t help but race, and her beautiful fox pupils gradually contracted.

Although she knew Vincent was really asking her sincerely, her tone rose slightly, and he was unmistakable.

Lyana pursed her lips. That night five years ago had stuck in his mind. His body had long learned to resist.

But she didn’t want to talk about these things to anyone.

For her, it was an extremely dirty past.

After Lyana calmed down, a smile appeared on her face. She pretended to be relaxed and said:

– It’s because I’m shy. I’m not ready to…

Lyana didn’t finish talking, but Vincent understood what she meant.

– Oh, Vincent replied, clearly not believing Lyana’s words.

Lyana lowered her eyes slightly, not saying anything.

Seeing that she didn’t answer, Vincent didn’t ask any more questions. He closed his eyes and prepared to rest. Shortly after, he fell asleep.

Vincent was asleep, but Lyana suffered from insomnia.

Was his disgust so obvious?

Vincent realized that something was wrong with her.

A trace of pain passed through Lyana’s eyes, but she had clearly done her best to hold back.

However, whenever she thought about that night and the innocent child who tragically died, she couldn’t calm down.

Either way, she had to find this man.

MY was a chaotic city, and the people here were the best informed. Lyana thought maybe she could use the informants here to investigate what happened back then.

With this thought in mind, she gradually fell asleep.

On the side, Vincent, who was originally breathing steadily and was supposed to be asleep, slowly opened his eyes. He turned to look at Lyana, his gaze resting on her calm profile. A trace of confusion crossed his eyes.

When he held her waist just now, he felt a familiar feeling, reminding him of the girl who had been forced to accept him five years ago.
