A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

When Vincent heard Thomas’ words, he frowned slightly. No wonder he had no impression of what happened.

However, he had had a dream before. He had vaguely seen Lyana and had always thought she had returned. However, when he came out of the bedroom, he realized that Lyana had just returned from outside.

Lia?

At that time, he seems to have called Lyana that. However, he only saw Lyana’s back receding.

When he woke up, he thought he had just dreamed, but he could still smell Lyana.

… .

Lyana realized that Lucas seemed to dislike meeting strangers. She turned to look at Leslie, who was standing in the doorway, and said softly:

– Miss Long, can you wait outside for a while?

She smiled and nodded.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

– OK.

She walked out and closed the door thoughtfully.

After Leslie left, Lyana breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Lucas fondly.

– Lucas.

When Lucas heard Lyana calling out to him, he took the blanket off his face. Her beautiful dark grape-colored eyes looked at Lyana innocently.

The moment Lyana met Lucas’ eyes, her heart warmed. She said softly and affectionately:

– Little Lucas, if strangers come to our house in the future, you will have to welcome them, understand?

She felt a little sad. Lucas had clearly suffered a lot.

Previously, Thomas had told him that the nanny who took care of Lucas was a bad person. This nanny not only didn’t treat Lucas well, but she also mistreated him and said mean things to him.

Lucas was only a three-year-old child. He certainly couldn’t accept that much damage.

Seeing that Lucas was silent, Lyana gently stroked his face. All the kids had baby fat, but Lucas’ face didn’t have much.

– Little Lucas, be good. It’s your house. In the future, you will have to behave like a host, understood?

Lyana said softly.

– I know you won’t be able to accept it right now, but can we take it easy?

– Aunt, aren’t you angry anymore?

Lucas stared blankly at Lyana, his eyes twinkling in confusion.

– Aunty will never be mad at Lucas, because Lucas is an obedient and adorable child.

Lyana knew that a child’s confidence came from encouragement from their parents. Although Lucas’ parents didn’t have time to take care of him, Lucas lived with her now. She would certainly take good care of him.

Lucas doesn’t say anything. He looked away.

If one looked closely, one could see the joy in Lucas’ eyes.

– Lucas, aunty will go out first to receive the guests. After I send her back, I’ll come with you later, okay? Lyana asked softly.

– All right.

Lucas nodded obediently.

Seeing Lucas’ obedience, Lyana’s eyes were filled with smiles. Sighing slightly, she leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Lucas’s forehead.

Lucas felt something strange on his forehead, and his pupils dilated involuntarily. The part of the forehead that Lyana had touched was hot.

The heat spread from his forehead to his whole body.

This strange feeling gave her the illusion that Auntie was like Mom.

– Good boy.

Seeing Lucas staring at her without blinking, Lyana smiled and said:

– So I’m going first.

Lucas nodded blushing.

That’s how he lay down on the bed and watched Lyana leave. A trace of complexity shines in his eyes.

After Lyana came out of Lucas’ room, she saw Leslie waiting for her. Seeing that she was about to speak, she hastened to say:

– Let’s go downstairs and talk.

The two women descended the stairs. When they arrived in the first-floor living room, Lyana looked at Leslie guiltily and said softly:

– I’m sorry about earlier. Lucas’ situation was a little complicated, so I couldn’t get you in and talk to him for a while.

Leslie frowned and looked at Lyana with concern.

– How long has he been in this state?

Lyana remembered Thomas’s words. She hesitated for a moment before saying:

– Looks like he’s always been like that.
