A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Initially, Matriarch Sanchez thought that Lyana was no longer meant for their family. However, when she heard Lyana’s words, a trace of surprise shone in her eyes.

She hastened to say with a serious expression,

“Of course I’m telling the truth! How could I lie to you about such a thing? Lucas told me!

Lyana’s heart was in shambles.

Although she was very happy that he could say that, she didn’t know what to do now.

At the time, he had said that because he had not yet found his biological mother.

She remembers that when he was sick, he called her mum.

She knew deep in her heart that he longed to find his mom.

She still remembers Lucas’ voice. She was sweet, like a piece of sweet bread.

For a moment, she felt like he was calling her.

So he really wanted her to be his mother.

Matriarch Sanchez noticed Lyana’s conflicted expression and told her sincerely:

“Liana, don’t feel obligated. If you’re ready to accept Lucas, great. If you don’t want to accept it, that’s okay. I’ll clear things up with him.

When she heard Matriarch Sanchez’s words, she was quick to shake her head.

“Grandma, it’s not necessary…

A trace of surprise shone in Matriarch Sanchez’s eyes. She looked at Lyana in confusion.

“Grandma, actually, I’m ready to be Lucas’ mother.

She says firmly.

When she finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she didn’t know why she had said that. She only knew that she really wanted to be the mother of Lucas and Ornella.

Before meeting Lucas and Ornella, she had always thought that she could not accept other children.

After the disappearance of her children, it was difficult for her to accept other children.

As long as she saw other children, she thought of her two children who had long passed away. All that remained in his heart was sadness.

However, Lucas and Ornella gave him a different feeling.

They reminded her of her own children, and she couldn’t help but think of them as her own.

The instant when she heard Matriarch Sanchez say that Lucas was very keen to let her be his mother, she was very happy. It was as if she knew her child was still alive.

This feeling was very strange.

Matriarch Sanchez looked at Lyana lovingly and smiled softly, but there was still a trace of sadness in her eyes.

Although the end seems to be perfect, Lyana had to suffer.

She was a person who valued tradition very much. Since Lyana was already ready to recognize Lucas, they had to have a ceremony.

She thought for a moment and asked:

– Lyana, when do you think we can organize the ceremony?

When she heard Matriarch Sanchez’s words, she gently shook her head and continued,

– There is no urgency in this matter. Since Lucas agrees, I want to ask him personally later. The ceremony is not important.

When she heard Lyana’s words, she nodded in agreement.

– Very well, we will do as you say!

Seeing that Lyana still looked troubled, Vincent’s face flashed into Matriarch Sanchez’s mind. She asked nervously:

“Does it still bother you that Vincent hid the truth from you?”

– No !

“Did Vincent mistreat you?”

Lyana couldn’t help but smile.

“Grandma, don’t worry. He treats me very well.

“So what were you thinking just now?”

Matriarch Sanchez couldn’t help but ask.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Lyana’s gaze landed on Matriarch Sanchez’s face. She had already sent someone to find Lucas’ biological mother. She didn’t know if all that would change when her biological mother returned.

However, she couldn’t talk directly to Matriarch Sanchez about it. So she smiled and said:

“Grandma, I’m just thinking about work.

She heaved a sigh of relief. She had thought that Lyana was still a little unhappy with Vincent. Now that she has heard Lyana’s words, she smiles and says:

“You mustn’t be too tired. There is no end to your work. Rest more

Lyana smiled and agreed, but she silently sighed in her heart, not letting Matriarch Sanchez know.

She smiles and takes Lyana’s hand, talking about her latest dress design.

…

In the office.

Ornella pulled out an exercise book and pointed to an application question on it. She read :

– The school organizes spring outings for the students. If there are only 40 people in each bus, there will be 30 left. If there are 45 people in each car, everyone will have a seat. How many buses are there?

When Vincent saw this question, he was slightly stunned.

Was it really a kindergarten question?

Had kindergarten questions ever become so difficult?

Ornella pointed to the workbook questions and said earnestly:

“Dad, I don’t understand this question.

Vincent looked down slightly, thinking about how to explain this question in a simple way.

She looked at him seriously and said:

“Dad, don’t you know that question too?”

Although this workbook belonged to Brother Lucas, she knew how to answer this question because she was studying hard at home.

She asked her father the question because she wanted him to spend more time with her.

“Dad, if one of the passengers is pregnant, do you think the pregnant woman is one or two people?”

He was left speechless.

Seeing that he was silent, Ornella continued:

– If the pregnant woman is pregnant with twins, does that count as one person or three?

He looked at Ornella in surprise. It was the first time he had heard Lucas say so much.

“Dad, don’t you think I’m right?” She looked at Vincent seriously and asked.

He didn’t know what to answer. He felt that Lucas was completely different from before.

In the past, he was a tight-lipped man who didn’t like to talk. He was generally cold.

But the current Lucas was lively and cheerful.

He rested his chin on his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked extremely adorable.

In the past, he was a cold and handsome little boy. Now he was a cute little boy.

It had only been a morning since he had seen his son. Why had Lucas’ temper changed so much?

Of course, Ornella didn’t know what her biological father was thinking. She even looked at Vincent expectantly, expecting him to congratulate her on her intelligence.

However, her father did not speak. He continued to look at her coldly.

She blinked and asked hopefully,

“Dad, was I wrong earlier?” The person who asked the questions didn’t think that much, did they?

Of course, she knew she was wrong.

This question was about people sitting on a bus. The child in the pregnant woman’s womb could not sit up on her own.

If she wasn’t looking for trouble in other aspects, how could she get closer to her father and talk to him?

If she knew this question, how could her father give her private lessons?

Of course, she had to pretend not to know!

Vincent glanced at the question and said seriously:

– This question refers to the number of people on each bus. In other words, every seat must be occupied. If there is a pregnant woman, she can only sit on one seat, right?

She rested her chin on her hand as her gaze fell on the exercise book. She did not respond immediately. After thinking, she obediently nodded and said:

“Dad, you are truly amazing. You even know that!

When he heard Lucas’ praise, his lips curled up involuntarily!

He continued responsibly:

– Actually, we can first fix a total of X cars for this equation.

At that moment, he hesitated and seriously asked:

“Do you know what that means?”

Ornella nodded and said:

– I understand. It’s algebra. Dad, am I particularly extraordinary?

Vincent nodded. He was worried that Lucas wouldn’t understand these things, so he thought he would teach him more. Since he already knew the basics, he was going to keep teaching her.

– The key to solving this question is that you have to formulate equations, and the equations represent an equality between the mathematical formulas…

He took out a piece of paper and wrote down the steps to solve the problem while seriously explaining.
