A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Chapter 423



At MY, Sugar and Daniel were very close.

Could it be that Sugar can’t help but want to recognize his third brother?

However, he had yet to find any clues as to what had happened at the time. If Sugar recognized his third brother now, everyone present would know that she was the eldest daughter in their family.

Would Sugar be in danger again?

Although he believed that all of the servants of the Royer family were reliable and safe, he could not fully trust them.

At that moment, Lyam thought the same as William.

They worried that Sugar would recognize his third brother now and be in danger in the future.

Second, Lyam was a little worried about his leg.

If Grandma knew that Lyana was Sugar and he and Big Brother hadn’t talked about it, she would definitely break her legs with a stick.

Such a beautiful leg was about to break so quickly.

Daniel’s gaze landed on Lyana’s face. Seeing that Lyana was silent, he said softly:

“Miss Dubois, what can I do for you?”

It was only then that Lyana came to her senses. She glanced at the ballot box, then at Daniel. She opened her mouth slightly and said:

“You’re going to hurt your hand.

When William heard Lyana’s words, his heart, which was in his throat, slowly calmed down.

Sugar was really smart and rational.

If she was an insensitive young woman, he might have lost his legs.

Lyam heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his Sugar had already changed the subject.

William and Lyam realized that Sugar felt sorry for Third Brother. They all felt a little jealous. They also wanted Sugar to care about them.

After Lyana finished talking, she felt like slapping herself. What nonsense was she talking about?

She was only a guest of the Royer family. She shouldn’t have stopped him.

Finally, she came forward because she was worried about Daniel.

Daniel glanced at the ballot box and said sadly:

“I wonder if she knows the way home after we move.

When Lyana heard Daniel’s words, she knew he was deliberately changing the subject to give her a way out.

Lyana lowered her gaze slightly.

Although the ashes in this urn do not belong to her, they could belong to another girl.

This urn had been there for over twenty years. If that girl had never reincarnated, her soul could have still lived here.

Children’s memories are always unstable. They preferred what was familiar to them.

Lyana thought for a moment and said:

“I wonder if there’s a carving knife?”

When everyone heard Lyana’s words, their expressions froze.

Matriarch Royer was the first to ask:

“Lyana, why are you asking for a carving knife?”

– I have already studied sculpture. I want to help Elder Royer fix the urn, Lyana said.

When Matriarch Royer heard Lyana’s words, her eyebrows raised, but she didn’t immediately respond.

Her eldest granddaughter was in the urn. She didn’t want her eldest granddaughter’s peace and quiet to be disturbed.

Lyana naturally understood Matriarch Royer’s concern. A slight smile appeared on her face and she said sincerely:

“Matriarch Royer, I’m more or less responsible for what happened today. If Julie didn’t want to trap me, she wouldn’t have destroyed the urn of the eldest daughter of the Royer family. I want to do my best to fix some of my mistakes.

Lyana glanced at the corrosion marks on the urn. Her mind raced and she quickly drew a picture.

“If the urn can be carved with exquisite patterns, I think she will certainly be happy,” Lyana said calmly.

Matriarch Royer naturally knew that Lyana had good intentions, but she was still a little hesitant.

At that moment, Lyam, who was standing to the side, said:

“Grandma, let her try.

When William heard Lyam’s words, he nodded in agreement.

“I think she should be able to do it. Let her try.

Muriel frowned slightly. She didn’t expect her older brother and second brother to come to Lyana’s defense.

However, the most important thing now was not to think about the attitude of Big Brother and Second Brother towards Lyana, but to solve the problem of the urn.

Muriel said hesitantly:

“Should I ask the master if she’s going to break taboos?”

Matriarch Royer looked at her eldest grandsons and second son with a complicated expression. You should know that these two were usually extremely nervous when it came to Sugar-related matters, but she didn’t expect them to agree to let Lyana carve Sugar’s urn.

Matriarch Royer thought about it seriously. Her gaze fell on Daniel and she asked:

– Daniel, what do you think?

When Muriel heard Matriarch Royer’s words, she knew that Matriarch Royer had already given in. She glanced at Lyana with a complicated expression. At that moment, Lyana was looking at Daniel expectantly.

She stood there, silent. If she wasn’t wrong, Third Brother would probably agree.

She had a feeling. It was a woman’s intuition.

The third brother looked at Lyana differently.

Muriel was puzzled. She didn’t understand how Lyana had made her three brothers bow down before her.

It had taken her more than twenty years, but she had failed to get her three brothers to love her. Lyana had done it.

Daniel met Lyana’s gaze, then looked at Matriarch Royer and nodded.

“Grandmother, I think Sister also hopes her urn will be more beautiful. Since Miss Dubois has such skills, let her try.

When Daniel finished speaking, he was a little surprised. He didn’t understand why he trusted Lyana unconditionally.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

He knew Muriel was right. Touching his sister’s urn was no small feat. It would be bad if she violated a taboo. However, when he met Lyana’s gaze, he couldn’t help but want to believe her.

Lyana’s heart, which was in her throat, instantly fell.

When Muriel heard Daniel’s words, she lowered her gaze slightly. His heart was as empty as duckweed. She had no home to return to and drifted with the current.

Seeing that her three grandchildren had no objection, the Matriarch Royer did not refute.

She let out a big sigh. Her gaze fell on Lyana’s face and she said meaningfully:

– Lyana, it was hard for you this time. Our Sugar has liked to dress nicely since she was young. She must also want her urn to look better.

When Lyana heard Matriarch Sanchez’s words, certain images flashed through her mind.

She vaguely saw herself running through a pile of clothes. Then she chose the prettiest one and asked the servants to help her change.

The servant brought the carving knife. Matriarch Royer looked at the cold light emitted by the knife and couldn’t help but gasp.

“Lyana, Sugar has been afraid of pain since she was young. Be careful all the time. Don’t hurt him.

Matriarch Royer gave worried instructions.

Lyana’s hand, which held the carving knife, paused for a moment. A strange emotion formed in his heart.

When she was young, she was also afraid of pain. When she was with her grandfather, he often asked her to learn all kinds of things. One of them was sculpture.

At that time, she often cut her hand by accident. It was so painful that she cried, but her grandfather refused to let her stop. He even forced her to continue sculpting. He even told her that she had to have a skill so she wouldn’t starve in the future.

Maybe it was because it hurt too much, but gradually she no longer feared the pain.

It is always difficult to grow up alone, but if someone grows up alongside their family, they will be pampered endlessly.

If she hadn’t been abducted at the time, she could have been well protected like Alexia and grown up carefree.

Lyana smiled at Matriarch Royer and said,

“Don’t worry, I will certainly carve the urn perfectly. Besides, I won’t hurt your little girl.

William and Lyam looked at Lyana’s smile and felt a little sad.

Their sister was just too kind.

Holding the carving knife, Lyana walked over to the urn and carefully scraped off the sulfuric acid.

Everyone watched Lyana carefully carve the urn. Nobody said anything.

Soon, more than two hours passed.

Lyana engraved a large bouquet of hyacinths on the urn.

Everyone remembered the hyacinth blessing bag that Lyana had embroidered. If only the blessing bag hadn’t been damaged by Julie.
