The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

Chapter 124: I Don't Want An Apology 

After taking the glass from her hand, Lucas asked, "Why are you here in my room?"

They were staying in different hotel rooms.

"I've figured out a way to come in whenever I want.Do you think I've been wasting my time following my dad all these years?" said Haley.

"Okay, I shouldn't have asked.But it's already late.Why don't you go to sleep? Aren't you exhausted from your flight?" Lucas remarked.

Glancing at him, Haley gulped down the wine in her glass.

"Lucas, you should know how much I love yous “

"Haley, what are you talking about? We grew up together.We're basically siblings already! There's nothing more than that between us."

Lucas was right.He knew that even though Tatum was his adoptive father, that man had always wanted him to marry Haley, so that he could completely control him.

That was the whole reason Lucas wanted to get away from Tatum.

"Lucas, don't say that! I know that you have another woman now, but I don't give a damn.I love you, and as long as you have a place for me in your heart, nothing else matters."

Haley poured another glass of wine.

"Come on, let's drink!"

Unfortunately, Lucas had never imagined that she would drug him, so he carelessly drank the wine.

Moments later, she took off her coat and revealed her sexy gauze nightgown.

"Let's enjoy this night together, shall we?" she said.

"Haley, don't do this." His reason made him push her away.He wasn't going to let himself get caught in that kind of dilemma.

"Why can't we do this? Do you think that I'm not good enough for you? What's so good about that woman? Do you really love her that much? So much that you'd refuse me without hesitation? I'm not a child anymore.I'm all grown up."

She held his hand, leaning closer towards him.Realizing his desires for her touch, Lucas asked in disbelief, "Haley, what did you put in my drink?"

"You're gonna like me, Lucas.I promise."

After saying that, Haley wrapped her arms around him and pressed her supple red lips against his.

Indeed, she had drugged him because she was determined to win him over, no matter what method she had to use.She desired to be his woman and his wife.

In his mind, Lucas wanted to push her away, but his body wasn't listening to him.

Contrary to what he wanted, he held her tighter.

Back when they were in Thailand, Haley had seduced him more than once, but he refused her advances every single time.

However, this time, he had completely lost control of himself because of the drug's effect.

Haley gazed into the eyes of the man she loved and said, "I love you, Lucas.I love you so much.You'll be responsible for me once you've had me, won't you?"

Lucas picked her up and brought her to the bed.

Meanwhile, Ayla woke up in the middle of the night.When she pushed the door open, she found that Brian was still awake in the living room.

"Why are you still up at such a late hour?"

"I can't fall asleep on the sofa," he said.

As soon as she heard this, she felt nervous.

"What are you planning to do? Don't push your luck!"

He claimed that he couldn't fall asleep on the sofa.It only meant that he wanted to sleep on her bed.

In his dreams!

"I'm not pushing my luck.You think too much." Brian raised an eyebrow.

"Did I even ask you for anything?"

Pursing her lips, Ayla replied, "Fine, maybe I was thinking too much.Whether you fall asleep or not, it's your business."

The second she turned around, Brian pulled her back.

"Are you really just going to let me starve to death?"

"You can leave whenever you want to! I'm not obligated to prepare dinner for you, am I?"

In reality, Ayla wasn't this heartless, but she knew that if she gave in even once, she would succumb to him forever "Fine, fine.

You can go to sleep now,"

Brian responded, letting go of her hand.

His meek tone made Ayla feel a bit guilty.

After about five minutes since she returned to her room, she came out again.

"What do you want to eats "l’ll eat whatever you make."

Brian had always been a picky eater, but it was a different story if Ayla was the one who prepared the food.

She glanced at the instant noodles that he had thrown into the trash can.

The only reason she bought it was because she didn't want to spend too much time on cooking.

But wasn't it too stingy to serve him instant noodles only? She kept staring blankly at the instant noodles at the table.

Seconds later, Brian walked in.

"What's the matter? Is it that difficult to decide what to cook because you bought so much ingredients earlier?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"Why are you complaining? You know what, if you're going to complain, you can cook by yourself."

Ayla had planned to cook something good for him, but she changed her mind because of his attitude.

"You should be thanking me for even deciding to cook for you.But this is the first and last time that I'll do it.What? Are you expecting me to prepare a feast for you? I'm sorry, but I only have instant noodles."

After saying that, Ayla took out a pack of instant noodles, turned the stove on, and put the noodles into the pot.

Moments later, Brian looked at the bowl of noodles which had a layer of spicy oil floating on the surface.

"You're so cruel to me," he said.

But after that, he didn't say anything else.He finished the bowl of noodles despite his complaints.

Ayla poured him a glass of water.She realized that she might've gone a little too far this time.

"I'll go to the kitchen to clean it up."

As he drank water, Brian watched as she hurried into the kitchen.

Ayla must've been feeling helpless because she couldn't avoid him.

After dawdling in the kitchen for a long time, she went back to the living room and found that Brian had fallen asleep on the sofa.

Although, it was highly unlikely that he had fallen asleep so quickly.

'He's probably just resting his mind with his eyes closed, ' she thought.

Ayla hesitated for a while before she went back to her room.If he really wanted to stay the night, then she was just going to let him be.He would probably go home once he had had enough of this place.

The moment Lucas woke up, he found Haley beside him.

He touched his forehead, helpless.He must've drank so much wine, and she drugged him.

Not long after, Haley also woke up.

She looked at him, and said, "You're awake.You hurt me last night."

Lucas noticed the bruises on her body, which he might've dealt on her last night.

"Haley, I'm sorry."

"I don't want to hear your apology.You know what I want to hear."

She then leaned closer to him.

"I can't give you what you want, Haley."

He pushed her away and got up from the bed.

But when he saw the blood stain on the bed sheet, he froze.

It was common knowledge to him that Haley had so many pursuers, but he never imagined that she was still a virgin.

How could he make such a mistake? Or maybe this was Haley's trick to make him believe that she was a virgin? Unfortunately, he couldn't remember everything that happened after he was drugged.

Haley pulled his arm and said, "I won't force you to do anything, but please don't leave me alone.Don't leave me, okay?"

Lucas stared at her delicate figure, and he was aroused once more.However, his good sense urged him to push her away.

"Haley, enough! Just forget what happened between us last night, okay?"
