A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Vincent frowns. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Lyana speaking again.

-By the way, Lucas thinks you’re his biological father. If he finds out about our relationship and he has a stepmother, will he be upset? Why not hide our relationship for a while? We will say that we are good friends. What do you think ?

Lyana looked at Vincent carefully with a smile in her eyes.

Vincent didn’t speak immediately. His dark eyes were fixed on Lyana.

Lyana felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. She pursed her lips and asked:

– Do you think my suggestion is a good one?

Vincent nodded.

Lyana gave a relaxed smile and continued:

– Since you agree with me, I will ask the butler to inform all the servants. However, I think you will have to talk to Grandma yourself.

Vincent frowned, a trace of coldness in his eyes. He didn’t understand if Lyana was really that open-minded, or if she didn’t care about him at all.

A woman who wanted to take the initiative to hide their relationship.

Who was he ?

He was the sole heir of the Sanchez family, the Second Young Master of the Sanchez family. Even though rumors about her short life and ugly appearance spread like wildfire, many people were still ready to marry her.

If he had suggested hiding their marriage and Lyana had replied that she didn’t want to, he would have thought it was normal. However, Lyana was the one who suggested hiding their marriage.

It didn’t seem to bother her at all.

Lyana didn’t seem to notice the expression in Vincent’s eyes. Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, she insisted:

– I still have to take care of Lucas later. Should we do this?

Vincent was left speechless.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Lyana continued:

– Children have fragile hearts. We have to take care of him. You think so too, don’t you?

Lyana seemed to want to cut ties with him.

He seemed to remember Lyana mentioning something about a year of marriage, but he dismissed it.

He also couldn’t remember what was written on the contract.

Vincent felt his throat go a little dry. Lyana’s affection for Lucas seemed beyond her ordinary. He said in a low voice:

– I’ll tell Grandma myself.

A bright smile appeared on Lyana’s face. As she was about to speak, she realized that something was wrong with Vincent’s expression. She feared that Vincent’s third personality had appeared.

To be honest, she was mostly afraid of Chuan Sanchez.

– Vincent, what’s wrong? You do not feel well ?

Lyana frowned slightly. Had Vincent really changed his personality?

If he had really changed his personality, it would have been awkward.

In particular, the cold aura he exuded was similar to that of Chuan Sanchez.

If he came out now, should she strike first, knock Vincent out, and call Thomas for help?

– If you’re not feeling well, then I…

– I understand. I will make the necessary arrangements.

Vincent interrupted Lyana coldly, looking at her.

– Where is Grandma?

– Grandmother already knows about him. She also knows that her family was not happy. There is something wrong with his mind. She will help him.

When Vincent said this, he felt extremely upset.

Lucas’ childhood was very similar to his. They both had imperfect childhoods.

Vincent sighed heavily and said:

– You’re right. If he finds out that we are husband and wife now, he will certainly be even more upset. We better keep it a secret for now. When he has recovered and his mental health has improved, we will tell him.

Lyana breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

– You really care about him more than his biological father.

Vincent was left speechless.

Lyana continued,

– So I’m relieved. I’m going back to my room for a moment. I will continue to take care of him later.

With that, Lyana turned to leave, but Vincent grabbed her hand.

Lyana looked at Vincent in confusion. She didn’t understand why Vincent didn’t want her to leave. Did she say something wrong?

Vincent’s gaze lingered on Lyana’s face, his eyes were filled with confusion. He asked :

– Did you ever think your request would be unfair to you?

Lyana’s gaze began to tremble. Her beautiful fox eyes narrowed and she said:

– I am an adult and a doctor. I have to take care of a sick child. Is there a problem ?

Vincent thought there was nothing wrong with Lyana’s words. However, she was truly indifferent. She still wouldn’t admit they were married.

Seeing that Vincent’s expression was getting worse and worse, Lyana tried to speak as softly as possible. She asked softly,

– Vincent, what’s wrong?

Vincent remained silent. He lowered his gaze, as if pondering something.

Lyana wanted to withdraw her hand, but Vincent held it too firmly. She called shyly:

– Vincent?

However, she still has not received a response. Vincent’s face flashed before Lyana’s eyes. Her heart raced and she called out cautiously:

– Chuan Sanchez?

At that moment, Vincent finally reacted. He looks up at Lyana.

Lyana was so scared her heart was about to burst out of her throat.

Oh my God !

He really had become Chuan!

It was finished. He was the most terrifying of the three personalities.

– How are you…

Before Lyana could finish speaking, Vincent interrupted her.

– Who is Chuan Sanchez?

When Lyana heard this, she was slightly stunned. She looked at Vincent in confusion.

Eh ?

That voice and tone didn’t sound like Chuan Sanchez at all. It was clearly Vincent.

So Chuan didn’t come out.

Lyana breathed a sigh of relief. A bright smile appeared on her face and she said:

– I called you by the wrong name just now. I’m sorry.

Vincent frowned as he looked at Lyana, clearly not believing her words.

Chuan Sanchez?

This name sounded like a man’s, but Chuan Sanchez didn’t seem to exist in his memory.

When did Lyana meet him?

However, there was something strange. Chuan Sanchez’s name sounded a bit familiar to him.

He also seemed to know this person.

Thinking about this, Vincent felt a sense of danger.

Vincent’s frown deepened.

The unease in Lyana’s heart gradually increased. She frowned and said softly:

– Hmm, don’t think about it anymore. Why don’t you go tell Grandma now?

Vincent looked at Lyana with a burning gaze, without blinking.

– Chuan Sanchez… Who is he?

Lyana was stunned.

How could she explain it?

Chuan Sanchez and Vicki were just him.

If she said that, Vincent would probably think she was the sick one.

– I just accidentally called you by the wrong name. Why do you think so much? All right, hurry up and get back to work. What if you missed something?

Lyana hurried on.

Vincent pursed his lips. When he thought about how considerate she had been of Lucas before, he had a strange feeling.

If he filed for divorce now, Lyana could accept without hesitation.

Vincent’s dark eyes grew darker and darker, the light gradually fading.

– Liana Dubois.

Lyana’s heart skipped a beat. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but Vincent held it too firmly.

The place he was holding was burning weakly. Her voice was a bit raspy, but there was a hint of sex appeal. She couldn’t help but be tempted.

– Huh? Lyana gulped.

– I remember when we got together, you talked about a contractual marriage?

Lyana looked puzzled, but she nodded obediently anyway.

– Yes.

In fact, she still wanted Vincent to sign the prenup.
