A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Matriarch Sanchez thought she would have a good talk with Vincent later. She couldn’t let Lyana continue to misunderstand things.

After dinner, Lyana was about to take Lucas out into the garden to sit for a while when Matriarch Sanchez stopped her.

– Lyana, come with me first.

– Okay, Grandma.

Seeing this, Lyana nodded. She squats slightly and says to Lucas:

– Lucas, can you wait for me in the garden for a moment?

Lucas’ beautiful eyes were fixed on Lyana. They wavered. He shakes his head and glances at the living room couch.

The meaning of his eyes couldn’t be clearer.

Lucas probably meant he wanted to sit on the living room couch and wait for her.

Holding Lucas’ hand, Lyana led him to the couch and he sat down.

She said softly:

– Then Lucas will wait for me here, okay?

He nodded.

– Our Lucas is such a good boy.

Lyana looked at Lucas fondly, then got up and walked over to Matriarch Sanchez.

Matriarch Sanchez looked away from Lucas indifferently. She frowns slightly.

If Lyana finds out the truth in the future, she might hate Vincent and that child.

It seemed that only she could give Lyana greater compensation.

Seeing Lyana approaching, Matriarch Sanchez smiled and said softly:

– Lyana, come with me in my room.

– Okay, replied Lyana.

She followed Matriarch Sanchez up the stairs. After taking two steps, she turned to look at the couch and met Lucas’ beautiful eyes. The two smile at each other.

Matriarch Sanchez’s attention was entirely on Lyana at the moment. She had seen all of Lyana’s little actions.

Because of this, Matriarch Sanchez’s heart sinks even more for Lyana.

Ever since Lyana joined the Sanchez family, she has been working hard every day.

A few days ago, she had just returned from MY. She hadn’t been able to rest for a day, but she had started taking care of Lucas again. She even had to comfort her, she who was a sad old woman.

After returning to her room, Matriarch Sanchez invited Lyana to sit on the couch and wait for her.

Lyana obediently sat down on the couch and looked at Matriarch Sanchez in confusion.

– Grandmother ?

– Wait for me.

Matriarch Sanchez smiled at Lyana, then walked over to the dressing table. She opened the top drawer and pulled out a silver jewelry box.

She approached Lyana and sat down. She placed the jewelry box in her hand in Lyana’s palm.

– Grandma, you…

Lyana looked at Matriarch Sanchez in confusion.

– You are usually too ordinary. You don’t even have any accessories on you. Hurry to open it to see if you like it.

Matriarch Sanchez smiled lovingly.

– Grandma, thank you. You are so nice to me, said Lyana sincerely.

Before, apart from her grandfather and a few older brothers who treated her sincerely, no one else had ever treated her so well.

Later, she found her brother. Her brother treated her pretty well, but that was only between family members.

– I just hope you can live a happier life.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

When Matriarch Sanchez heard Lyana’s words, her heart was filled with guilt.

She was clearly the one who let Lyana down, but this child was really good for her.

– Lyana, I hope you don’t divorce Vincent because you’re mad at him in the future. There are some things he has no choice but to do.

After Matriarch Sanchez finished speaking, she felt she was making it difficult for her. She sighed and said:

– Forget that. No matter what you do, I will support you.

Seeing the guilt in Matriarch Sanchez’s eyes, Lyana felt a trace of doubt.

She sensed that something was wrong with Matriarch Sanchez’s expression. She asked worriedly,

– Grandma, did something happen at home?

– No, do not let your imagination run wild.

Matriarch Sanchez brushed the guilt from her eyes and looked at Lyana fondly. She really hoped that this child would lead a happier life.

Lyana smiled and nodded. She thought Matriarch Sanchez might be sad because of her eldest son.

Smiling, Lyana put the jewelry box aside and grabbed Matriarch Sanchez’s hand. She said sincerely,

– As long as Grandma is healthy, I will be very happy.

Matriarch Sanchez almost couldn’t hold back her tears. She grabbed Lyana’s hand and nodded.

– Liana, you should know one thing. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be on your side.

– Grandmother.

– Very well, take a quick look at my present for you.

Matriarch Sanchez let go of Lyana’s hand and took the jewelry box to the side, placing it again in Lyana’s palm.

Lyana looked at the jewelry box in her hand, her heart filled with conflicting feelings.

In the past, she used to think of herself as an abandoned child, but now that she was reunited with her family, she knew they hadn’t abandoned her on purpose.

Over the years, she had met her grandfather and older brothers who adored her.

She had found her parents who had always missed her.

Although her marriage to Vincent was just a transaction, Matriarch Sanchez was really good to her.

She used to think that God was unfair.

But now she felt that all the pain she had endured was worth it.

It is perhaps only by experiencing the cold that one can see plum blossoms blooming in winter.

Lyana carefully opened the jewelry box and saw a pink diamond necklace.

Her beautiful fox eyes widened slightly and her pupils dilated involuntarily. She looked at Matriarch Sanchez in disbelief.

– Grandma, you…

Lyana looked at Matriarch Sanchez in disbelief and frowned slightly.

This pink diamond necklace was shaped like a butterfly. The butterfly’s body was made of a full square pink diamond, and the butterfly’s wings were made of countless broken diamonds.

This dreamy pink diamond was also known as the Butterfly Fairy.

The Butterfly Fairy was also an award-winning work by Matriarch Sanchez when she was younger. It was the most remarkable work in the world, and it had already been printed in art textbooks.

– This necklace suits you very well.

Matriarch Sanchez looked at Lyana lovingly. Lyana was like a beautiful butterfly, flying freely in the sky. Matriarch Sanchez hoped that no matter what happened to Lyana, she would be able to break out of her cocoon and become a butterfly again.

– Grandmother, it’s too expensive. I cannot accept it.

As she spoke, Lyana pushed the jewelry box past Matriarch Sanchez.

– It’s also the work you’re most proud of, isn’t it?

– But I just want to give it to you, the best person in the world.

Matriarch Sanchez smiles and hands the jewelry box to Lyana.

– It was made for you. She alone is worthy of you.

When Lyana came out of Matriarch Sanchez’s room, her expression was slightly solemn.

She looked down at the jewelry box in her hand, her eyes filled with panic.

Her marriage to Vincent was only a formality. Once she was done dealing with the Sanchez family, she would leave. What right had she to be pampered by Matriarch Sanchez?

Forget that. She should keep this jewel well. After all, it was a gift from Matriarch Sanchez.

When she left, she would return the jewel to Matriarch Sanchez.

Lyana returned to her room and put the jewelry box away before heading down the stairs.

She knew that Lucas usually stayed home and didn’t go out for walks.

She thought that if she wanted Lucas to become happier, she should take him for more outdoor activities.

The right side of the Sanchez family villa was filled with many children’s toys. Lyana had specially placed them there so that Lucas could have fun.

Among these toys, it was the swing that Lucas liked the most. In Lyana’s opinion, Lucas didn’t seem interested in other toys.

He sat on the swing. Lyana stood behind him and gently pushed the swing. Light shone through the mottled leaves, illuminating them both. It was as if they were covered in a layer of white light.

Matriarch Sanchez stood outside the second-floor French doors. When she saw Lyana playing on the swing with Lucas, she felt a mixture of emotions.
