A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Vincent’s gaze fell on Lyana’s face again. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked:

– Where do you intend to go?

His voice was low and raspy, and there was a trace of intriguing danger in it.

Could Vincent have misunderstood something?Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Did Vincent think she was dressed to meet other men?

Or did he suspect she was cheating on him?

When she realized this, Lyana couldn’t help but shiver.

With a sweet smile on her face, Lyana explained:

– I intend to meet Lyam.

– My younger brother?

A trace of confusion flashed in Vincent’s eyes.

Lyana could see a trace of warmth in Vincent’s eyes. It seemed like Vincent really thought of Lyam as his younger brother and family.

It seemed that Vincent and Lyam were particularly close. Vincent shouldn’t have been mistaken.

Lyana smiled and nodded.

– Didn’t I play for him once?

Maybe that’s why he has a new song about to be released. He invited me to listen to him.

Vincent looked at Lyana in confusion and asked:

– Are you the only guest?

Lyana shook her head.

– This time, there should be people present who are knowledgeable in music. He probably wants our opinion.

Vincent’s eyelashes lowered slightly as he stood there calmly. Previously, Lyam had admired Lyana’s results in music.

– I will send you.

Vincent didn’t say much.

Lyana was slightly stunned. In fact, she knew how to drive. She could go alone, but she couldn’t refuse Vincent’s request.

– Actually, I…

Before Lyana could finish speaking, Vincent turned and left, giving Lyana no chance to refuse.

She pursed her lips and had no choice but to follow him.

When they reached the stairs, Lyana refused to give up.

– Aren’t you busy today?

– Hmm.

Lyana didn’t know what to say.

After getting in the car and putting her seat belt on, Lyana heard Vincent ask:

– The address.

– At the Yongan Building.

Hearing Lyana’s words, Vincent frowned. He turned to look at Lyana, his eyes burning.

– Are you really going to meet Lyam?

The space in the car was very small to begin with. A dangerous aura was spreading through the car, and Lyana couldn’t help but feel nervous.

It’s strange, why does Vincent ask that?

Was there something wrong with that address?

Lyana said innocently:

– Of course I’m going to see Lyam. Who else do you think I’ll see?

– The Yongan building is in the name of William Royer.

The meaning behind Vincent’s words couldn’t be clearer.

Lyana was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses. As stupid as she was, she could tell what Vincent meant.

She looked at Vincent carefully and remembered the last time Chuan went out.

Could it be that Chuan ran away, furious, because he knew she had seen William?

It made sense. Chuan cared so much about Lia.

But what does that have to do with Vincent?

Lyana thought for a moment and took her phone out of her bag. She opened the message Lyam had sent her and handed the phone to Vincent.

It wasn’t because she cared about Vincent’s feelings, but because she thought it was pointless to let Vincent misunderstand. What if he let Chuan out again?

Chuan was a terrifying existence for her.

– Look, I’m not lying.

Vincent’s gaze landed on Lyana’s face. Seeing how serious she was, he didn’t say anything else. Without looking at Lyana’s phone, he walked towards Yongan Building.

Lyana was still holding her phone. His hand hovered awkwardly in the air.

Strange, why wasn’t Vincent looking?

Could it be that he already believed her words?

If so, that meant there was nothing between her and Lyam. However, he really seemed like he didn’t want her to meet William.

When they were at MY, Vincent didn’t seem to appreciate her talking to William.

Lyana thought of Chuan and couldn’t help but shiver.

It seemed like she couldn’t let Vincent misunderstand her relationship with William anymore. Otherwise, if Chuan found out that she had met William, he might appear often…

Lyana turns to Vincent and asks him with a smile:

– Vincent, do you suspect me of having an inappropriate relationship with William Royer?

Vincent turned to look at Lyana and asked:

– Hmm?

Lyana breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like Vincent still cared about those things. She hastened to explain:

– Vincent, you have to believe us. It is your brother. He won’t do anything to betray you. We are legally husband and wife. I won’t betray you either. I consider William as my big brother.

They were legally husband and wife.

When Vincent heard this, he frowned slightly.

When Vincent heard Lyana’s explanation, he felt much happier. However, when he heard that he and Lyana were only legally married, his expression darkened.

Vincent’s eyes flickered. Suppressing his displeasure, he asked:

– Are you trying to explain yourself?

The man’s voice was as low and hoarse as ever, carrying a haunting allure.

Lyana was slightly stunned. Then she honestly said:

– Yeah, I didn’t want you to misunderstand me.

When Vincent heard this, he felt much happier. He said with indifference,

– I never misunderstood.

– Yes, I misunderstood then, Lyana said calmly, silently rolling her eyes.

He had even said that there was no misunderstanding. Wasn’t he the one who was angry just now?

Lyana really couldn’t understand why Vincent didn’t like her. Also, they were only legally married, but he was very possessive of her.

It was better to avoid trouble. Lyana felt it was best not to do anything that would cause Vincent to misunderstand.

After all, it didn’t matter if Vincent got angry. If Chuan ran away again, things would spiral out of control.

Soon, they arrived at the Yong’an Building.

Lyana unbuckled her seatbelt and heard Vincent ask:

– Should I pick you up later?

Eh ?

Was Vincent so free today?

Lyana looked up at Vincent in confusion. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Her eyes were very bright, just like Lucas’s when he looked at her. They were sparkling, making it impossible to look away.

Lyana was slightly stunned. For some reason, she felt like Vincent and Lucas looked a little alike.

She must be thinking too much.

How can Vincent be related to Lucas?

Maybe it was because he wasn’t as cold as he usually was that she had an illusion.

Lyana lowered her gaze and smiled.

– It’s not worth it. Stay home with Lucas. I’ll take a taxi home.

Vincent thought for a moment and said:

– Then I’ll ask my brother to fire you.

Lyam was sending her home?

At this idea, Lyana’s heart raced.

It seemed like a good feeling to be sent home by his brother.

Lyana smiled and nodded.

– OK.

In fact, Vincent was quite reasonable.

Lyana got out of the car and leaned forward slightly. Through the passenger seat window, she said to Vincent,

– Pay attention to the road.

Vincent’s eyes flickered and he nodded.

– Bye.

Lyana waved at Vincent and entered the Yong’an Building.

At that time, there were still a lot of people on the street. All eyes were on Lyana.

Vincent looked at Lyana’s back. He remembered William’s attitude when he spoke to Lyana, and the way Nathan Dubois looked at her.

His gaze once again rested on the passers-by. Many men looked at Lyana greedily.

He gripped the steering wheel involuntarily, his knuckles turning white.

When Lyana’s back disappeared into the Yongan Building, her heart felt a bit empty, as if she had lost something important.

Vincent’s Adam’s apple bounced slightly, and his breathing became erratic.

For now, he just wanted to take Lyana home and hide her.

At the moment.

Only he could see her.

When Lyana entered the Yongan Building, the burning gaze that was fixed on her disappeared. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to see Vincent’s car still parked in the same spot.

Odd.

What’s wrong with Vincent today? Did he want to devour her?
