A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

-Okay, I’ll send you the location now.

Lyam’s voice sounded relaxed and happy. His voice rose slightly, indicating that he was in very good spirits.

When Lyana heard Lyam’s voice, Lyam’s evil face flashed in her eyes.

When Second Brother smiled, he certainly charmed thousands of young girls.

Lyana was dazed. She couldn’t stop screaming

– Brother.

Lyam was slightly surprised when he heard Lyana’s voice. His voice was a little hazy, which made him think of Sugar again.

In the past, when Sugar was asleep, she called him in that tone.

Lyana quickly regained her senses. Realizing that she had lost her temper, she hastened to say:

– It’s settled then. I’ll look for you tonight.

– Okay, I’ll wait for you.

Lyam nodded.

After hanging up, Lyana heaved a long sigh of relief. She couldn’t help but smile.

– Auntie, are you going out tonight?

Lucas nodded and looked at Lyana intently.

Lyana held out her hand to take Lucas’s. She really wanted to go back to the Royer family home now and find her family.

But she couldn’t do it.

Not only for his own safety, but also for the safety of all members of the Royer family.

Before finding her family, she had left it to fate.

But now that she knew her family was right in front of her and she couldn’t recognize them, she sorely missed the nostalgia that was etched in her bones.

This feeling was indescribable.

– Yes, I’m going out tonight.

Lyana smiled at Lucas, staring unflinchingly at his little face. She wondered where Lucas’ biological mother was. It looks like she has to send other people to help Lucas find his mother.

– Oh.

When Lucas heard Lyana’s words, his eyes gradually darkened. He lowered his head and replied, his mood extremely low.

– What’s wrong ? You do not feel well ?

Lyana looks at Lucas with concern. He put his hand on Lucas’ arm.

Lucas’ pulse was very calm. He seemed to be fine.

– Auntie, can you tell me stories again tonight?

Lucas asked cautiously, his eyes filled with impatience.

After he finished talking, Lucas felt a little miffed. Would Aunty Lyana hate him because he was too clingy?

– So I’ll tell you a story in the early evening. What do you say ? Lyana smiled and negotiated.

Even though she knew very well that Lucas wasn’t her child, she couldn’t help but treat him like her own child.

The gloom on Lucas’ face disappeared. He looked up at Lyana, his heart filled with joy.

Lyana took Lucas out to play for a while. Then she asked Lucas to go play with the other servants and went to the embroidery room.

She had to see Lyam tonight, so she had to go embroider the blessing bag early.

Lyana sat down in the embroidery room. When she thought that Lyam had called her today, her lips involuntarily curled up.

Suddenly, the vibration of her phone interrupted her thoughts.

Lyana glanced at the caller ID and rushed to take the call. Holding the phone to her ear, she shouted excitedly

– Brother.

Hearing Lyana’s cheerful voice, William’s fatigue from the day was swept away. Her lips curled involuntarily, and her voice was soft.

“Honey, are you free tonight?

The smile on Lyana’s face froze slightly, and a trace of confusion shone in her eyes. She didn’t understand why Elder Brother and Second Brother had invited her tonight. Could it be because today was a special day?

Lyana thought for a moment and asked:

– Brother, is there anything urgent tonight?

– No, I just wanted to have dinner with you.

William’s voice was as soft as water.

Lyana couldn’t help but fall into a dilemma.

She wanted to have a meal with Big Brother today, but she had already promised Second Brother.

However, it was difficult for him to refuse one or the other.

She was indeed a greedy person. She wanted it all.

The more Lyana thought about it, the more her head hurt. She couldn’t help but sigh.

– Sugar?

Lyana suddenly came to her senses. Even if she really wanted to split into two and meet her two brothers, it was very unrealistic.

– Brother, I’m really sorry about today. I already accepted someone else’s invitation.

She felt very guilty while talking.

– Its very important ?

When Lyana heard William’s voice, her heart trembled slightly. It looked like his brother must be very disappointed. In fact, she was also very disappointed.

Lyana breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

– Yes.

When William heard Lyana’s words, he gave up on inviting her back.

Anyway, he had already recognized his sister. There would be many opportunities in the future.

– Okay, have fun tonight.

When Lyana heard William’s words, her heart hurt even more. She really wanted to have a meal with her brother. Since his return, they had never had a meal together, alone.

Thinking about that, Lyana cautiously asked:

– Brother, will you invite me to dinner again?

– Honey, why are you asking that? William was puzzled.

The more Lyana thought about it, the more upset she felt. It was the first time that her brother had invited her to a meal, but she had cruelly rejected him.

– But… but didn’t I turn down Big Brother’s first dinner invitation? Lyana said with disappointment.

– So I can not invite you to another meal?

– And if I have something planned next time? Lyana asked, looking disappointed.

– There’s no next time?

William’s voice was as warm as spring, giving him a sense of security.

Lyana’s heart started racing. She was very touched.

– Brother…

– Honey, your brother should have taken care of you. Even if you reject me a thousand times, or ten thousand times, I won’t be angry.

William had already guessed what Lyana was thinking. His heart ached for her.

His sister must have suffered a lot to become so cautious.

Since he had already found his sister, he would never let her suffer again.

The unease in Lyana’s heart instantly disappeared. She smiled and said,

– Thank you brother.

When William heard Lyana’s happy voice, there was no joy in his eyes.

Her younger sister should have been the eldest daughter of the Royer family. She should have enjoyed wealth and fame, and been pampered by countless people.

Her younger sister had led a wandering life and suffered greatly. Even though she recognized her family, she was still very cautious.

It was a sign of extreme insecurity.

William’s expression grew increasingly serious as he said:

– Sweetheart, you may not remember everything I told you before. So I’m going to tell you again.

When Lyana heard William’s voice, she pursed her lips slightly, her heart beating faster and faster.

– You are the eldest daughter of the Royer family. You don’t have to be humble or please anyone. You don’t have to worry about hurting anyone, including me.

William paused for a moment before continuing.

– People don’t get along by being humble and pleasing. Those who appreciate you, no matter what you do, will care about you and love you. They won’t reject you. Those who don’t like you, no matter what you do, won’t even look at you. My Sugar, I’m your brother. I love you the most and care about you, so you don’t have to worry about rejecting me at all. As I know you are busy, I will wait for you.

When Lyana heard William’s words, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red. It was the first time anyone had said such a thing to him.

Before Lyana found her family, she was fearless. But when she found her family, she couldn’t help but be scared.

She was really afraid that her family would leave her one by one. In the end, she would find herself alone again.

If she hadn’t been pampered, she might have gotten used to this loneliness.

Now that she had received her brother’s favor, she was really afraid of losing him. She just wanted to hold onto him tightly.

– Brother…

Lyana’s voice was a bit strangled.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Big Brother was truly the best. He understood what she was thinking and what she was afraid of. He tried to pull her out of the abyss.

He was truly the best brother in the world.

William’s voice echoed over the phone again.

– Sweetheart, you just have to be yourself. Even if the whole world doesn’t like you, you’re still my Sugar. You are also the eldest daughter of the Royer family. You are the treasure that all members of the Royer family have been looking for for over twenty years.
