A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

“We’ll take a look when we get home,” Lyana said.

She had stayed too long in the Royer family today. She looked up at Daniel.

“Daniel, it’s getting late. We have to go back.

When Daniel heard Lyana’s words, he remembered how Lyana kindly called William First Brother and Lyam Second Brother. He felt a little envious, so he said:

“You should call me Third Brother.

When Muriel heard Daniel’s words, her heart skipped a beat.

She thought Lyana was a little strange. Her three brothers seemed to treat Lyana very well.

She felt there must be something else.

When Lyana heard Daniel’s words, she was slightly stunned. Then, a bright smile appeared on his face.

– Third Brother.

When Lyana called him “Third Brother”, Daniel’s heart warmed. In a daze, he felt like he had heard someone call him that before.

This call was too familiar.

However, it made him feel a little dizzy.

Vincent looked at Daniel, his dark eyes darkening. His thin lips pursed slightly and he asked:

“Daniel, are you getting ready to recognize Lyana as your sister?”

Daniel had never liked getting married or recognizing new members of his family.

When he heard Vincent’s words, he slightly raised his eyebrows and said:

“Fortunately, you reminded me. It’s not a bad idea. I will prepare a serious ceremony to recognize my family later.

Seeing that Vincent’s expression wasn’t good, Daniel teased him with interest:

“You seem very concerned about my relationship with Lyana.

When Vincent heard the words Lyana, he found them vaguely familiar.

However, he wasn’t interested in what had crossed his mind. On the contrary, he noticed once again that Daniel had addressed Lyana differently.

Vincent’s lips curled slightly. Instead of immediately answering Daniel’s question, he said:

“Thank you for helping me protect her for a day back then.

Vincent’s voice was as low and raspy as ever. There was no emotion in his voice.

However, Daniel could see that Vincent remembered him.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Vincent’s wife was Lyana. No one was allowed to touch her.

It seems he was right.

The relationship between Vincent and Lyana was a bit ambiguous. Could it be that Vincent fell in love with Lyana?

Thinking about this, Daniel remembered that his brother had forbidden him to get close to Lyana.

Maybe at that time, Big Brother was already aware of the relationship between Vincent and Lyana. He was afraid of causing a conflict between the Sanchez and Royer families because of Lyana.

Muriel stood to the side. She glanced at Vincent, then at Daniel. She had guessed correctly. Vincent was interested in Lyana.

In this case, she wished Vincent a happy marriage with Lyana as soon as possible. That way, the second brother would be hers.

Muriel liked the feeling of being in the background and reaping the benefits.

Lyana remained standing, realizing that the atmosphere between Vincent and Daniel was a little tense.

Her gaze fell on Daniel’s face and she said:

– Third brother, it is getting late. We should leave. I will invite you to dinner next time.

Daniel looked away from Vincent’s face. When he looked at Lyana, his eyes were filled with sweetness. He nodded and agreed.

“Okay, we’ll see each other again.”

Lyana smiled and nodded, then followed Vincent.

Daniel watched Vincent and Lyana leave. When the two stood side by side, they looked inexplicably compatible.

It was the first time he had seen Vincent so preoccupied with a woman.

Muriel stood to the side and said with a smile:

– Miss Dubois is really beautiful and kind.

When Daniel heard Muriel’s words, he was in full agreement in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face. He turned to look at Muriel and said

“Have someone clean things up in your room carefully later. If you don’t like them anymore, ask someone to change them.

Muriel was slightly stunned.

– If there is an ancient ornament and you feel disgusted, you can throw it away.

Daniel turned around and looked at the items in Muriel’s room. He frowned. He was very disgusted that Julie touched something here.

With that, he left. Anyway, the Royer family was not lacking in antiques.

Muriel remained standing on the ground, dazed. It took him a while to realize what Third Brother was talking about.

It seemed that the third brother really hated Julie.

The items in Muriel’s room weren’t exactly what she liked. Someone had helped her choose them.

She had a house near the filming location that belonged to her. The decorations in this house were all her favorites.

With this thought in mind, Muriel said to the servant:

– Throw away everything in the room. Replaces all objects.

Daniel left. Shortly after, he ran into William.

Seeing that Daniel was the only one who returned, William asked in confusion,

“Where are Vincent and Lyana?”

“They’ve already left.

Hearing Daniel’s words, William frowned slightly and asked:

“Why did they leave so quickly?”

– Brother, have you forgotten that in the afternoon, Grandmother will invite monks to pray for the Sugar? Then Grandma won’t allow strangers to stay, Daniel said calmly.

A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes and he looked at William curiously.

William shook his head gently and said:

‘Of course I haven’t forgotten.

“Then why are you asking me why I didn’t let them stay?” Although we are on good terms with the Sanchez family, Grandma Sanchez did not come this time. Added to what Julie just did, Grandma definitely won’t let them stay.

“But Lyana isn’t a stranger,” William said, frowning.

When Daniel heard William’s words, he was slightly surprised.

Today, he realized that his older brother’s attitude towards Lyana was a bit strange. Moreover, during lunch, Second Brother had even picked up some food for Lyana.

Daniel’s eyebrows arched. He didn’t understand why the attitude of his eldest and his second brother towards Lyana had changed so much. He asked :

“Brother, what are you hiding from me?”

When William heard Daniel’s words, he sighed softly.

He looked at Daniel without blinking. Even if he told her the truth now, Daniel might not believe him.

You should know that he didn’t believe anything until he saw concrete evidence.

Daniel continued to stare at William. Seeing William’s silent expression, an idea suddenly crossed his mind.

He felt that Big Brother and Second Brother had to hide something very important from him.

Could this be related to Lyana?

“Brother, if you won’t tell me, I’ll investigate myself,” Daniel said shyly.

William’s gaze fell on Daniel’s face. Daniel was a little stubborn. Either way, he had to get to the bottom of it.

If he found out, those people might be alerted.

Thinking of this, William looked at Daniel seriously and said:

“What I am about to say is true. Don’t doubt me.

When Daniel heard William’s words, he didn’t immediately nod. Instead, he frowned as he looked at William.

He felt that this matter was very serious.

– I believe you.

Daniel nodded.

William looked around. There were many servants around. He frowned slightly. Although he thought the servants of the Royer family were very loyal, for Sugar’s safety he said:

“Come into the office with me.

– Yes.

William and Daniel walked towards the office.

At that moment, a woman came out from around the corner of the hallway. It was none other than Muriel.

Muriel had wanted to look for Second Brother, but she accidentally overheard the conversation between her older brother and her third brother. She watched the two hurriedly leave and went into deep thought.

She thought Big Brother came here just to ask them to go to the Buddhist hall to pray for his sister. She never thought Big Brother wanted Vincent and Lyana to stay.

What puzzled Muriel the most was why her brother said Lyana wasn’t a stranger.

Lyana couldn’t be family, right?

She had a feeling that what William and Daniel said was most likely related to Lyana.

Could it be that Lyana and Vincent are already engaged?

The Sanchez and Royer families were on good terms. Previously, Grandma Sanchez often stayed behind to pray for her sister.
