A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Vincent’s breathing was a little erratic. His warm breath circulated around Lyana’s neck, and her body tensed involuntarily. She couldn’t take it anymore and said,

“Vincent, why don’t you…

– Lia…

Vincent interrupted Lyana again. Just as she looked at him in surprise, he said:

“I think I really fell in love with you.

His voice was low and raspy, with a hint of hazelnut. He was like a flower in the moonlight, so beautiful that no one dared touch him.

Lyana was stunned. She had never expected Vincent to say such a thing.

Vincent had actually confessed his feelings to her?

This…

How was this possible?

Just as she felt puzzled, she inadvertently met Vincent’s dark eyes.

They were very close. She could clearly see every eyelash of Vincent, and she could feel his breath.

Vincent’s gaze gradually shifted, finally landing on Lyana’s slightly swollen lips.

At the thought of the kiss earlier, Vincent’s eyes darkened. He repeated:

– I’m serious.

Lyana looked shocked.

“You will always be Mrs. Sanchez. No one in this world can threaten your status. Even Lucas’ biological mother can’t threaten your status.

He clearly enunciated every word.

Lyana’s heart was pounding wildly, as if it was jumping out of her chest the next moment. She looked at Vincent in disbelief.

After a long time, she tried to calm down and asked,

“Are you … do you confess your love for me?”

Vincent narrowed his phoenix eyes, which seemed to contain a sea of stars. He asked,

“Was I not obvious enough?”

Lyana looked into his starry eyes, and her breathing quickened uncontrollably.

At the thought of what Vincent had just done to her, a numb feeling spread from her spine to all the blood in her body. She felt like she was in a boiler.

Vincent reached up and touched Lyana’s cheek, gently rubbing his thumb. He looked without blinking at Lyana.

“You are my wife, my only lover in this life. No matter what, you can’t leave me!

His eyes gradually harden and there is a hint of menace in his words.

Lyana felt her heart beating faster and faster. It was as if millions of fireworks had exploded in his mind. She was stunned, not knowing how to talk to him.

It was the first time she had seen the dominating and stubborn Vincent.

Although he was very controlling, she didn’t like him at all. Instead, she felt like she was dreaming.

She still remembered that when she first opened the paternity test document and found that Vincent and Lucas were father and son, she was stunned.

At that moment, she felt that Vincent had lied to her.

From another perspective, to Vincent, Lucas was her descendant and she was just a stranger.

Lyana remembered Vincent telling her he wanted to bring Lucas.

At that time, she had asked Vincent.

– If I had said no earlier, what would you have done?

She still remembered Vincent’s look at the time. His eyes were cold, without a trace of warmth.

“Then I can only ask you to leave this place.

At that time, she still thought he really wasn’t bad as a godfather. He actually took such good care of Lucas.

Now she understood.

Between her and Lucas, Vincent would only choose Lucas.

She loved Lucas very much, but Vincent’s words made her worry.

She didn’t know if he confessed his love for her because he loved her, or if it was because he just wanted her to be Lucas’ mother.

The thought felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head.

Her whole body became cold.

Lyana pursed her lips slightly and said:

– You hurt me.

Vincent sat down, but he didn’t leave Lyana. Instead, he stayed by her side.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She sat down and silently took a few steps back. As she was about to distance herself from him, Vincent unexpectedly took her back.

He even placed her on his lap.

Lyana was sitting on Vincent’s lap. Although she was wearing clothes, she could still feel the scorching heat of her body.

“I-I want to sit on the couch.

She had a hard time leaving Vincent.

However, just as she moved, she noticed that Vincent had used his hand to completely restrain her waist.

She could feel his hand on her waist. Her palm burned, making her blush.

– Vincent.

She looked at him and clearly enunciated each word.

– Why do you like me?

Is it because I’m your doctor? Or because Lucas loves me?

Lyana couldn’t directly ask for the remaining two sentences, so she could only ask vaguely. She looked at Vincent calmly with a frown.

When he heard Lyana’s question, his lips curved slightly. His sexy Adam’s apple was bobbed as he requested,

“Do I need a reason to love someone?”

Lyana was speechless.

Quietly, she pushed Vincent’s hand away from her waist and asked,

“So how long have you loved me?”

If he said he loved her before Lucas came to the Sanchez family, that meant Vincent really loved him.

On the contrary, it meant that he loved her because of Lucas.

“It’s been a long time.

Lyana frowned slightly and asked,

– How long does it last?

Vincent lifted his index finger and gently placed it on Lyana’s face.

The skin on his face was very tender and smooth, and it felt particularly comfortable to the touch.

Vincent’s lips curved slightly as he continued,

“After biting your face.

Lyana was even more confused. Why didn’t she know that Vincent had bitten her face?

Could it be that she also has a split personality? Could it be that she flirted with Vincent for a long time?

However, he did not answer this question. He skipped the subject and looked at Lyana seriously.

“So, are you ready to accept Lucas?”

Lyana got off Vincent and sat down on the sofa on the other side. Thinking of Lucas’ mother, she asked solemnly,

“But you still haven’t told me who Lucas’ biological mother is. What characteristics does she have?

She really wanted to help Lucas find his biological mother.

She could understand Lucas’ feelings very well. Every child wanted to grow up safely and happily alongside their parents.

The light in Vincent’s eyes dimmed. He didn’t want to discuss this matter with Lyana at all. However, since he had already chosen to confess, he didn’t want to keep hiding it.

“Actually, I don’t know what characteristics she has either.

Lyana couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Was Vincent joking?

How could he not know what Lucas’ mother looked like?

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. Then, she said seriously,

“You and she created Lucas. How not to know what characteristics it has?

– In fact, at that time no one plotted against me, I was delirious and that’s what happened, said Vincent uncomfortably.

“Could it be that Lucas’ mother was plotting against you on purpose?”

Lyana asked.

– No, at that time there was also a plot against her.

He looked at Lyana with a burning gaze, worried that she would get angry. However, he still added

– In the end I let him down.

Lyana narrowed her eyes on Vincent. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

From Vincent’s words, she could tell he was defending Lucas’ biological mother.

She had a vague feeling that in Vincent’s heart, Lucas’ biological mother was very important. No one could blaspheme or insult her.

However, from Vincent’s words, she could tell that Lucas and Vincent’s birth mother had only met once.

She looked calmly at Vincent.

The past had already happened and it could not be changed. There was no need to dwell on it.

All she had to do was look ahead.

As to whether she would feel uncomfortable?

She didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

However, she felt it was a shame.

If Lucas’ mother hadn’t disappeared, the family of three could have been reunited a long time ago.
