A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

It was a very soothing song.

Later, when he found out his sister had already passed away, he changed the rest of the song.

The second half of the song went from warm and soothing to miserable. This song was about his sister’s life.

Whenever the anniversary of Sugar’s death approached, he would replay the song “Light” written for Sugar, trying to remember when Sugar was still home.

At that time, she was still young and couldn’t speak properly, but she kept pestering him to listen to him play.

Happy times were always short-lived.

Lyam recalled that in the past he wanted to see what Lyana was like as an adult. He was dazed.

He approached Lyana and sat down next to her.

Lyana moved with agility. Without needing Lyam to speak, she saw Lyam’s fiery gaze and knew he wanted to play a duet with her.

Lyam put his hands on the keyboard and turned to look at Lyana.

He still remembers Sugar telling him in a soft voice in the past.

– Second brother, when I grow up, I want to play the piano with you.

The soul of “Light” could only be perfectly reflected when the low and high notes were combined.

The two looked at each other and played at the same time.

It was the same tune as before.

However, when Lyana and Lyam played it together, the tune they played was perfect.

William closed his eyes and admired the music they were both playing. In a daze, he seemed to have gone back to the days when Sugar acted cute towards them.

When Lyam was playing, his gaze couldn’t help but fall on Lyana’s face. All sorts of things from the past have resurfaced.

– Second Brother, I want to hear you play a song.

– Second brother, can I play with you now?

– Second brother, why is the sound of the piano I play now different from yours?

– Second brother, write a song for me too.

…

Sugar’s soft voice echoed in his ears. Lyam slowly closed his eyes and couldn’t help but remember the happy times he had spent with Sugar when he was young.

When the song ended, Lyam sat in front of the piano in silence for a long moment before looking up.

When he saw that Lyana was still reminiscing about the music just now, his lips involuntarily curled up.

It was a good thing his sister was still alive.

Lyam looked at Lyana and thought of Sugar from the past. It was as if the pain of over twenty years had instantly disappeared.

At that moment, applause rang out.

Lyam and Lyana turned their heads and saw William smiling. His eyes shone with a thousand lights.

The entire piano room instantly lit up.

Lyam smiled. His gaze fell on Lyana’s face again and he said softly:

– I wrote this song for you. I really didn’t expect you to still remember it after so many years.

When Lyana heard Lyam’s words, her heart skipped a beat.

She finally understood why Second Brother had started asking her if she had entered that small room when she entered just now. Also, Second Brother looked angry at the time.

It turned out that this song had extraordinary meaning for him. He had written it especially for her and hadn’t allowed anyone else to touch it. That should be the main thing for Second Brother.

The discontent in Lyana’s heart instantly disappeared. A bright smile appeared on her face and she continued:

– Second Brother, when I was a musician at your previous concert, I was a little nervous. Brother Oscar played the first half of this song especially for me, but I only heard half of it. However, I remembered it. When I came here today, an inexplicable score suddenly popped into my mind, so I tried to play it.

Lyana’s gaze landed on Lyam’s face. She continued:

– I didn’t expect these to be memories of my childhood.

When Lyam heard Lyana’s words, he gave a slight nod and said:

– No wonder you couldn’t answer when I asked you where you got that score…

Lyana nodded embarrassed and said:

– Yes, I think if I said it was a melody that suddenly appeared in my mind, no one would believe me.

Lyam instantly understood. If Lyana had said that now, he certainly wouldn’t have believed her.

He had never believed that telepathy existed in this world.

If that person was Sugar, he wouldn’t have had a problem.

– Sugar, you…

As Lyam was about to speak, a ringing interrupted him.

– I’m sorry, my phone is ringing. Lyana smiled and quickly took her phone out of her bag. When she saw the caller ID, she was slightly stunned.

It was Vincent.

Why would Vincent have called her?

When Lyana looked at the time on her phone, she realized it was already one o’clock in the morning.

Oh my god, the time has passed so quickly.

At that time, Lyam, who was sitting next to Lyana, also noticed the caller ID.

At that moment, he suddenly realized something. Although he found his sister, she was already married.

Her cute, clingy little sister had actually become someone else’s wife.

This difference made Lyam a little uneasy.

He also wanted to bring his sister to his side and adore her. He wanted to take care of her and make up for what he owed his sister.

But his sister was married.

Her sister had to go home every night.

But the house her sister was to return to was not hers.

Lyam looked down in pain. Why hadn’t he found his sister sooner? So he could have spent more time with her.

Lyam hated himself. He shouldn’t have believed that his sister was dead. Instead, he should have searched the world for her.

If he had worked harder to find his sister sooner, she could have enjoyed life sooner and not suffered in the Dubois family.

Lyana didn’t know what Lyam was thinking. Her gaze fell on the phone screen and she frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion.

In the past, no matter what time she came home, Vincent didn’t ask her anything.

Could something have happened to Lucas?

Lyana frowns slightly. She quickly took the call and held the phone to her ear.

– Vincent, did something happen at home?

Lyam felt bad. When he heard Lyana say the word “home,” his eyes couldn’t help but turn red.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

His sister couldn’t go home with him now, as she was already married to Vincent.

His sister had already called the Sanchez family villa home.

As a brother, he was too useless. Not only did he not catch the brain, but his sister could not go home openly. He also wanted to hear his sister say to him:

– Second brother, let’s go home together.

– Where are you ?

Vincent’s hoarse voice came through the phone. There seemed to be a hint of concern in his words.

Hearing Vincent’s voice, Lyana frowned slightly and asked.

– Do you have a cold? Did you take any medication?

– It is one o’clock. It’s getting late.

This time, Lyana could hear the annoyance in Vincent’s tone.

Could Vincent be angry?

Lyana was slightly stunned. It was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

– Huh?

Vincent’s cold voice came through the phone again. He seemed to be waiting for her answer.

Lyana coughed, looking embarrassed.

– Actually, I…

– It’s embarassing ?

On the surface, Vincent’s voice sounded worried about her, but if one listened carefully, one could hear the coldness in his words.

It was as if he was threatening Lyana.

Lyana felt a shiver run down her spine. Thinking it was getting late and she should go home to rest, she said:

– I’ll take a taxi home. I…

Before Lyana could finish speaking, Vincent abruptly interrupted her.

– I’m down now. Come down.

Vincent’s voice was unmistakably strong.

Lyana clutched her phone tightly and glanced at Lyam and William. She accepted and hung up.
