Deep Love of The Perfect Bride novel Chapter 14

Ayla couldn't say no to him when Toby insisted. She wasn't sure how long she could hide the truth from him. But if she rejected him too many times, he would be suspicious.

After leaving the cafe, Toby drove her back to her school. "Lala, can you have dinner with me tonight?" Toby eagerly waited for her response. He even was very reluctant to leave Ayla.

Ayla felt guilty again to lie to him. But she had no other choice. She gave him a half-smile and said, "Toby, I have work tonight. Let's do it sometime later."

Toby thought for a moment and then said, "Okay! This is my card. It has my new phone number. Call me if you have time."

"Okay." Ayla nodded with a smile and took the card from him. The card had his title printed on it. "Executive Director and Deputy CEO of Smith Group".

After exchanging goodbyes to each other, Toby left and Ayla went back to attend her classes. When she returned to the villa after school, Brian hadn't come back. She was temporarily relieved for his absence.

So, Ayla helped Maria prepare the dinner and waited for Brian to come back. She knew today she'd have to give him an explanation for her seemingly rendezvous with Toby.

"Mrs. Clark, you can have your dinner. Mr. Clark hasn't called yet. He might not return tonight." Maria was worried about Ayla's health. It was almost midnight now, and still she didn't eat or drink anything. She had been waiting for Mr. Clark since she returned from school.

Ayl a smiled at Maria and said, "Don't worry. I'm fine. He'll be back soon."

However, she was well aware of the possibility that once he returned, things might go haywire. Perhaps, she'd have to face his wrath. She still couldn't believe that she bumped into him while being with Toby. But she wanted to get it over with. So she waited anxiously.

Brian came back around one o'clock in the morning.

Ayl a was already trembling with fear with the thought of facing him.

As soon as Brian came in, a rush of cold, bitter wind entered the villa along with him.

"Mr. Clark." Ayl a mumbled his name and walked up to him. She bowed politely wondering whether she had any chance to negotiate with him.

Brian glared at her. This woman had the audacity to come and stand before him after he caught her red handed.

"Well, have you had your dinner? I've cooked as per your instruction." Ayla accumulated a lot of courage to say that to him.

Brian said nothing and walked directly into the dining room. The table had already been prepared. He noticed the dishes and the soup on the table. They looked delicate and delicious indeed. Despite being cold, they still looked appetizing. But he did not show any appreciation.
