A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Matriarch Sanchez was well aware that Laura was romantically interested in Vincent. However, Matriarch Sanchez had never approved of it. Additionally, she felt that Laura was a bit immature and not a suitable match for Vincent.

Matriarch Sanchez didn’t expect Laura to do word of mouth about Lyana behind her back just so she could have a better chance with Vincent.

Lyana was his granddaughter, she was not someone to play with.

Hearing Matriarch Sanchez sigh, Aunt Louna spoke in a consoling tone, her head bowed slightly.

– Miss Laura will think about it.

– Let’s hope so!

Matriarch Sanchez took a deep breath and picked up her cup of tea, sipping slowly. She seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked:

– Have they slept together again?

Aunt Laura looked at Matriarch Sanchez and remained silent. Suddenly, she recalled what Butler Charles had told her. awkwardly, she shook her head and began to explain on Vincent’s behalf.

– The second young master seems to be very busy lately. He didn’t go back to the villa much!

Matriarch Sanchez stopped sipping her tea and heaved a helpless sigh.

– How can it be? How can they have a child if they don’t sleep together? I’m going back to the villa now to watch them.

Aunt Louna lowered her head and remained silent. After all, Matriarch Sanchez could do whatever she wanted. It was best for her to keep a low profile.

Matriarch Sanchez looked at little Lucas and said to Aunt Louna,

– You stay here and take care of little Lucas. I’m going back to the villa!

– Yes Madam.

Aunt Louna was well aware of Matriarch Sanchez’s temper and said nothing more.

Matriarch Sanchez quickly asked the other servants to pack their luggage. In a flurry of excitement, she rushed to the Sanchez family villa.

When Matriarch Sanchez arrived at the villa, she saw an unknown girl sitting in a gazebo in the garden. She turned to Butler Meyer, who was standing beside her.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

– Who is she?

– This lady is the younger sister of the second young lady. She was specially invited to the villa by the second young master,

Butler Meyer answered.

– What?

When Matriarch Sanchez heard this, her expression turned momentarily ugly. She frowned and said:

– What is that? And the second young lady?

– The second young Madame seems to be resting in her room!

After speaking, he seemed to remember something and added,

– The second young Madame seems to hate the third young mistress Dubois very much!

Matriarch Sanchez gave the third young mistress Dubois a dismissive look and purged her lips.

– This girl looks so delicate and helpless. I don’t like it very much either!

– …

However, Matriarch Sanchez always treated guests with politeness and grace. She walked towards the pavilion. Seeing Ines get up, Matriarch Sanchez said with a smile,

– Third young mistress Dubois, I am Vincent’s grandmother. If you don’t have urgent matters to deal with in the Sanchez residence, could I offer you a ride home?

– How are you, Mrs. Sanchez, Ines greeted politely. Hearing Matriarch Sanchez’s thinly veiled invitation to leave, she lowered her head uncomfortably and said in a low voice,

– The brother-in-law said he would help me find someone. I will leave immediately after meeting this person!

Hearing Ines’ words, Matriarch Sanchez felt a little uneasy. The third young mistress Dubois was indeed an ignorant young woman. It just wouldn’t make someone from the younger generation reject their elders so directly. Indeed, she was happy that the third young mistress Dubois did not marry into the Sanchez family. Otherwise, Matriarch Sanchez would have gone to great lengths to convince Vincent to divorce her.

Matriarch Sanchez turned to smile at the butler standing next to her. She said:

– Ask the servants to take good care of the third young mistress Dubois. Do not neglect it. Otherwise, strangers will blame our family for being ungraceful.

Ines was rooted to the ground in shock. She could tell that Matriarch Sanchez was unhappy with her, but she couldn’t understand why.

Before Ines could react, Matriarch Sanchez had already left, taking Meyer with her. Ines was left alone in the pavilion, still gaping.

Butler Meyer followed behind Matriarch Sanchez. He felt worried that Matriarch Sanchez was directly looking for trouble with the second young lady.

However, he had thought too much.

When Matriarch Sanchez caught a glimpse of Lyana, who was holding a book on medicine, she smiled brightly and tugged on her arm affectionately, gazing at her with a loving expression.

Lyana was amazed. A slight smile appeared on her face as she looked at the butler in confusion.

He carefully explained,

– Second young lady, this is Madame Sanchez.

Miss Sanchez. Wasn’t this lady Vincent’s grandmother?

– Grandmother.

As soon as Lyana’s words dropped, she saw Matriarch Sanchez’s face move even closer to hers.

– Oh, my darling child.

Matriarch Sanchez looked at Lyana, with full affection and warmth. With Lyana standing in front of her in the flesh, Matriarch Sanchez privately thought she looked even prettier than she did in the video. She grabbed Lyana’s delicate hand and said worriedly,

-Why are you so skinny? Butler Meyer, you need to prepare more delicious food for my darling child!

With confusion written all over his face, the butler nodded. It was the first time he had seen the matriarch of the Sanchez family care for a stranger with such warmth.

It’s true. Previously, in Charles’ eyes, Lyana had always been an outsider.

But now he felt he should take good care of Lyana. After all, she was clearly in favor of the Sanchez matriarch. It seemed that Lyana had secured her position as the second Young Lady of the Sanchez family.
