A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Vincent did not speak. His gaze landed on Lyana’s face, as if waiting for her answer.

Lyana glanced at Ornella, her heart aching terribly. She must have been spooked by Vincent just now.

Previously, she had told Ornella that her father was very nice and that he would love her very much.

However, he revealed a harsh side.

Lyana sighed softly and said,

– Lucas’ stomach doesn’t feel well. I checked for him. It is because of accumulation.

After receiving Lyana’s affirmative response, Vincent’s gaze instantly softened. He approached Lucas and crouched down, his eyes filled with undisguised worry.

“Lucas, how does your stomach feel now?”

When she caught Vincent’s gaze, her eyes instantly turned red.

She had just thought that even though her father was very handsome, his words were cold.

But now his father spoke to him very softly.

Her father’s gaze on her was also very gentle. She had experienced this sweetness with Auntie Lyana.

But her mother had never looked at her with so much sweetness.

Seeing that he hadn’t spoken, Vincent realized he was a bit dazed. He couldn’t help but frown and put his hand on her forehead to test her.

She didn’t seem to have a fever!

Even though her father had already removed his hand, she could still feel the warmth on the back of her father’s hand.

She couldn’t help but blush.

Her dad was so nice to her.

“Dad, I’ve already taken my medicine. I am fine now. You don’t have to worry about me.

When he heard Lucas’ words, he seemed to pause for a moment. He felt that Lucas was a little strange.

He was very intelligent and knew everything, but he was rarely so enthusiastic.

Seeing Lucas gradually become more lively and cheerful, Vincent heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems Lyana was right. Lucas could get outgoing.

He slowly got up. His gaze landed on Lyana’s face and he asked in a low voice:

– His stomach does not feel well. Is there anything I should pay attention to in the future?

She said her stomach didn’t feel well. It was just a lie she and Ornella had made up.

Lyana shook her head and said:

– It’s not necessary.

His gaze fell on Ornella’s face again. She had come to the Sanchez family because she wanted to interact more with Vincent. How could she create an opportunity for Vincent and her to be alone?

Suddenly, an idea crossed Lyana’s mind. Her lips curled slightly and she said:

“I think even if Lucas doesn’t have to go to school today, he should still study more at home. I wonder if you have time to give him lessons in the afternoon?

At the end she added:

“Besides, he also hopes that you can tutor him for his studies.

A trace of surprise shone in Vincent’s eyes.

Lucas had liked being alone in the past, so it hadn’t bothered him.

But now he hoped he could be her guardian.

How could Vincent be willing to miss the opportunity to bond with Lucas?

– I’m free.

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Lucas’s face. He saw him smile at her.

Vincent’s lips curled imperceptibly.

“What do you want to learn this afternoon?”

Ornella’s eyes, which were like dark grapes, were particularly wide open. She stared at Vincent without blinking. Her father was really too nice and treated her too well.

– I want to study mathematics.

She had casually invented a reason. Although she had already learned these things herself when she was in Sancity, she wanted to hear her father teach her math.

“Okay,” Vincent replied. He pulled out his phone and texted Thomas.

“Cancel all activities today.”

After sending the message, he placed his phone in his pocket. In his opinion, nothing was more important than the Lucas affair.

He reached out to Lucas and prepared to lead him back to his room.

Ornella’s gaze fell on her father’s palm, and her ears grew increasingly red. Carefully, she put her hand over her father’s and followed him upstairs.

She thought he was glad her brother had brought her a pair of gloves. That way, she wouldn’t have to worry about her father finding out she wasn’t Brother Lucas because of his hands.

When they got to Lucas’ room, Vincent felt the phone in his pocket vibrate. He turned to Ornella and said,

– Find the textbook first.

Ornella’s lips curled slightly. She couldn’t wait to open her brother’s satchel.

She was taking her brother’s satchel home today.

In the past, when she was in Sancity, she dreamed of having a brand new school bag every day. Today, his wish has finally come true.

Vincent took out his phone and saw a message from Thomas.

“Second Young Master, we are going to discuss this piece of land this afternoon. The Land Office seems to have taken a liking to Nathan Dubois’ proposal. If we want to fight for this piece of land, we must discuss it with the Land Office today. Otherwise, this land could fall into the hands of Nathan Dubois.”

When Vincent saw this, his eyebrows arched.

He remembered the way Nathan Dubois had looked at Lyana. This look made him very uncomfortable.

The Dubois family had done so much for Lyana.

If he wanted to attack the Dubois family, he had to start by attacking Nathan Dubois, because he was now all the hope of the Dubois family.

Since returning from MY he has been looking for people to discuss this with the Land Office.

Moreover, he had already offered very good conditions, but the people at the Land Office were still optimistic about another company.

Although this piece of land is very important, he thought accompanying his son was the most important thing now.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Sometimes fate decides. If time is lacking in life, it should not be forced.

He left this piece of land to fate. Most of the reasons he wanted to get this piece of land was that he wanted to make Nathan Dubois miserable.

“Go ahead and follow up. Tell me the results later!” With that, he turned off his phone.

When Ornella pulled out her math book, she looked at her father.

He seemed to frown. He seemed to have something very important to do.

She lowered her head slightly and asked cautiously:

“Dad, are you busy?”

When Vincent heard Lucas’ words, his gaze fell on his face and he said:

“The most important thing for me now is to study with you!”

She looked at Vincent excitedly. She couldn’t help throwing herself into Vincent’s arms.

– Dad !

It was the first time he had seen Lucas so enthusiastic about him. He reached out and hugged Lucas. After a moment of hesitation, he gently patted Lucas on the back.
