The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone) Chapter 58: Don't Tell Me You Are Pregnant

Toby looked at the bag of medicine in Ayla's hand.

"Lala, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Ayla shook her head.

"I'm fine."

When a waiter came over and gave them the menu, Toby asked, "What would you like to drink or eat,
Lala?"

"Just a glass of milk, please."

She couldn't drink coffee because of the baby in her belly.

Toby ordered a cup of coffee for himself.

As they sat facing each other and waiting for their orders to be served, Ayla took out the coat.

"I know what you want, but I can't accept it."

She had to clear up the misunderstanding now.

Otherwise, it would continue to exist for a long time.

They would only make things more difficult for them.

Toby looked at the coat she handed to him.

"He's upset about it, isn't he?"

He had already anticipated this.

But every time he remembered how intimate Brian and Anna were in the restaurant, he felt very angry.



"Toby, Molly is your wife now.You should love and cherish her.I think you are living a happy life
together.Well, I am happy with my own life now too," Ayla said, forcing herself to smile.

She was fooling herself.

Her happiness was still too far away.

And perhaps, she was already destroyed before it came.

Now that she was pregnant, she really wanted to run away with the baby in her belly.

But how? Toby glanced at the bag of medicine again.

"Why did you buy a lot of medicine? Is something wrong with you? Did he do anything to you? Did he
hurt you?"

He cared so much for Ayla, and all he wanted was her happiness.

He would deal with the matter between him and Molly.

Before he could make up his mind, he wouldn't have a child with Molly yet.

The waiter came back and served their orders.

Ayla took a sip of her warm milk and touched her belly.

"I'm pregnant," she faintly said.

Toby was stunned for a few seconds, staring at her incredulously.

"You...you're pregnant? With his child?"

It seemed so difficult for him to utter those words.



The look of disappointment and desperation was written all over his face.

First, Brian took away the woman he loved the most.

And now, he got her impregnated.

She would give birth to Brian's child soon.

It only meant a lifetime of endless suffering and helplessness for her.How could he help her out?

"Yes, but he doesn't know yet."

Actually, Ayla already knew what Brian would do if he found out that she was pregnant.

But she didn't want to give up her child.She wouldn't let anyone take this innocent life from her belly.

"Well, will he allow you to bear that child?" Toby felt that Brian didn't want a child or even think of
having one.

Besides, he didn't take Ayla as his real wife.

She was just a woman he needed.

"I actually want to surprise him," Ayla said weakly.

Surprise him? Would Brian be happy with her surprise? His reaction must be frightening instead.

Not long before, the two of them walked out of the cafe together.

Ayla stood at the roadside with a smile and watched Toby drive away.

Maybe this would be the last that she could see him.



Their paths would never cross again in the future.

As soon as they returned to the villa, Ayla went directly to her room and lay in bed.

She was trying her best to keep the baby, so she should take a good rest.

After finding out that Ayla was pregnant, Maria had been making tonic soup for her to drink.

And although she was just throwing up after drinking them, she didn't refuse.

She knew that it was good for her baby.

Being pregnant was really hard.

But no matter how hard it was, she was willing to endure it.

"Mrs.Clark, this isn't working at all.It will be useless if you just keep on vomiting after you eat.Your body
will not absorb any nutrients, and neither will the baby in your belly.Why don't we try to follow your
appetite this time? They say that pregnant women have some cravings.Think of what you want to eat,
then I will cook it for you," Maria said, sitting on the edge of the bed.

Fortunately, Brian hadn't come home these days.If he saw Ayla's current situation, he would definitely
know everything.

"I really don't have anything in mind, Maria.I just feel tired and sleepy all the time."

Ayla had been lying in bed for days now.

It seemed that she didn't have enough strength to move.

Besides, it was still cold outside, so she couldn't go out.



"Okay, have a rest first.I'll make some soup for you again."

Maria tucked Ayla under the quilt before she walked out of the room.

Since Ayla didn't want to eat anything, she had no choice but to make some soup for her again.

At dinner, Ayla forced herself to get up from the bed and went downstairs.

She wanted to eat in the dining room this time.

Sitting at the dining table, she stared at the delicious dishes in front of her.

But she really didn't have any appetite.

Suddenly, they heard a car stop outside.

Startled, she stood up from the chair and said, "Brian's back."

Brian strode in.

He was on a business trip for a few days.

And when he came back, Jaime immediately reported to him that Ayla went to the hospital.

She also met Toby.

He was so angry.

But when he saw Ayla's pale face, he didn't say anything and just walked into the dining room.

"Mr.Clark, I'll serve your dinner."

Maria took a bowl of rice and placed it in front of him.



Ayla had no choice but to sit down again.

"I didn't know you're coming back today."Brian didn't reply.

He hadn't eaten anything the whole day, so he had to fill his stomach first.

Otherwise, his anger would aggravate.

Ayla reluctantly took a bite of her food.

But her stomach suddenly churned, so she put down her chopsticks and ran to the bathroom.

Brian stood at the door of the bathroom.

He watched her squatting on the cold floor and vomiting in the toilet.

"Don't tell me you are pregnant!"

He was not an idiot.

He actually didn't believe it last time when she said that it was just because of her period.

Ayla held onto the sink and stood up weakly.

"No."

"No?"

The coldness in his eyes made her shiver.

It was as if he had already seen through her.

Maria walked inside the bathroom to support Ayla.



"Mr.Clark, Mrs.Clark is..."

But before she could finish her words, he interrupted, "Get out! I want to hear it from her."

He then turned to Ayla.

"Do you want to tie me up with a child? Or do you want to be a real Mrs.Clark?"

Ayla shook her head.

"Mr.Clark, you're misunderstanding me.I've never thought any of those things."

The baby came unexpectedly.

She didn't plan it.

Brian held her arm tightly and asked, "Aren't you taking contraceptive pills regularly?"

"I am.But that time when you came home drugged, I forgot."

She couldn't hide it from him anymore.

"And you want me to believe you? How can you forget? I've reminded you many times about it.Last
time, you were even affirmative when you told me that you're taking medicine."

Brian felt that he had been fooled by Ayla.

She pretended in front of him, but she had been lying to him.

His grip on her arm was too tight that she started to feel a sharp pain.

"Mr.Clark, please don't do this to me.Let go of me first, okay?"



If he hurt her, the baby in her belly would be inflicted.

"Let go of you? And then what? Let you do whatever you want?"

He could never allow it to happen.He was a man who was used to controlling everything.How could he
let a woman play tricks on him?

"Come with me!"

Regardless of Ayla's thin clothes, Brian pulled her out of the villa.

"No! Mr.Clark, please.Where are you taking me? I don't want to go with you."

They were already in the garden, but Ayla didn't stop struggling.

It was a chilly evening, but she didn't seem to feel the cold.

Fear outweighed everything in her right now.

"Go with me to the hospital!"

Brian didn't want to have children.He didn't need one now or even in the future.And no one could
change that.

"No! I won't go with you.This baby is mine.It's mine."

Ayla held onto the railing tightly, unwilling to take even one single step forward.

He suddenly let her go.

She didn't expect it, so she fell to the ground, with her arm first.

With a click, she felt a sharp pang of pain.



Maybe her bone was broken.

"Mr.Clark, please give me some time."

Ignoring the pain in her arm, she knelt on the cold ground, folded her hands together, and begged.

Brian bent over and looked at her face.

"Who is the father of this child? That man? Are you really that cheap?"

Ayla thought that Brian didn't want the baby in her belly because he didn't like children.

She didn't expect that he was thinking it was someone else's child.

She never had a special relationship with other men, not even I with Toby.

How could he misunderstand her like this?
