A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

As she spoke, Lyana turned around and walked into the villa.

She had just taken a step when her wrist was grabbed.

She turned and looked at Vincent in confusion. Perplexed, she asked

– What’s wrong ?

– I’ve already asked Thomas to bring the blessing bag to the car.

Lyana breathed a sigh of relief, a bright smile appearing on her face. She pulled her arm out of Vincent’s grasp and walked out with him.

Vincent looked at his empty palm and felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

When the two men arrived at the entrance to the villa, Thomas had already prepared the car.

He handed an exquisite wooden box to Lyana and smiled.

– Madam, this is your bag of blessings.

Lyana was slightly stunned. His gaze was drawn to the wooden box. She carefully took it from Thomas.

This wooden box was made of rosewood. A phoenix was engraved on it, and emerald green jade beads were encrusted around the box.

Lyana carefully touched the phoenix that was there. This box must be expensive.

She hadn’t expected Vincent to be so meticulous in preparing such a beautiful box for her to store the blessing bag in.

Lyana smiled at Vincent and said with admirationC0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

– I was still considering which box to use to store the blessing bag. I chose three or four boxes, but I was not satisfied. Only the box you prepared for me is good.

Vincent’s gaze fell on Lyana’s face, which was filled with a happy, bright smile.

It showed that she was telling the truth. She really liked this box.

Vincent couldn’t help but frown. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze looking even deeper. Her thin lips puckered into a pale line.

Thomas, who was standing on the side, looked at Lyana with a complicated expression. He wondered if Madame would still smile so happily if she knew about the relationship between the eldest daughter of the Royer family and the Second Master.

He was just a stranger. He couldn’t say anything else.

Vincent’s eyebrows arched. Finally, he asked:

– Don’t you remember what I told you last night?

Lyana blinked, her beautiful fox eyes shining. She said innocently,

– I remember.

Vincent’s Adam’s apple started shaking. His voice became even colder.

– Of course.

Lyana looked at Vincent in confusion, not knowing why he was unhappy.

– What’s wrong ? Did I say something wrong?

– No.

As Vincent spoke, he opened the car door and got in.

Perplexed, Lyana watched Vincent get into the car on the other side. She sat in the back seat and smiled.

– Thank you for helping me prepare such a beautiful box.

She didn’t understand how this man could be so petty. She had just forgotten to thank him, and he was already angry.

For some reason, she felt Vincent’s expression darken.

Seeing Thomas getting into the car, Vincent said coldly:

– Are you expecting me to drive you?

Thomas immediately straightened his back, buckled his seat belt stiffly and hurriedly started the car.

He had done nothing. Why was the second young master angry again?

The second young master was still in a good mood this morning. Why had her mood suddenly changed?

The man’s mood changed like the weather in June.

He drove in silence, not daring to say another word.

At the Royer residence.

At this moment, the Royer matriarch was sitting on the living room sofa with a miserable expression. Her eyes were dark as she watched the busy servants, but her mind was filled with thoughts of her eldest granddaughter.

At this moment, Alexia stood to the side with a serious expression and gave instructions to the servants.

The Royer family was enveloped in deep grief, with the exception of the two people present in William’s office.

William and Lyam were especially happy today because their sister was coming today.

At the thought of their sister, they couldn’t help but smile.

Lyam smiled but couldn’t smile anymore. He walked over to William’s side and asked in a low voice:

– Brother, are we really not going to tell Grandma?” If Dadi finds out that our sister is still alive and we are still hiding this, she will definitely be angry. She could even use family law.

– It’s just a broken leg. It’s not a big deal. When the time comes, we’ll both stay in the hospital and take care of each other on the ward, okay?

William said casually, looking indifferent.
