A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Matriarch Royer was only thinking of her eldest granddaughter, so she didn’t try to persuade Matriarch Sanchez to stay either.

Alexia also felt depressed. She wanted to chat more with Lyana, but she wasn’t in the mood.

Lyana seemed to read Alexia’s mind. Smiling, she asked:

– When you’re not in class, do you want to go shopping together?

Alexia’s eyes instantly lit up, curling into crescents.

Matriarch Sanchez looked at Alexia fondly. Suddenly, a strange thought crossed his mind. Why did she feel like Alexia looked a lot like Lyana when she smiled?

However, Lyana did not notice this. Supporting Matriarch Sanchez, she said goodbye and left.

The butler, who was standing next to Matriarch Royer, watched Matriarch Sanchez and Lyana leave. Suddenly his expression froze and he froze.

– Matriarch, look at the back of the Second Young Lady Sanchez. Don’t you think she looks exactly like our First Lady?

The “First Lady” the butler was referring to was William and Alexia’s biological mother.

When Matriarch Royer heard the butler’s words, she instinctively replied:

– How is it possible ? She…

Before Matriarch Royer finished her sentence, she glanced at the retreating Lyana’s back. Startled, she started frowning too.

How is it possible ?

Why did Lyana look exactly like her eldest daughter-in-law?

Lyana’s face appeared in Matriarch Royer’s mind, along with all the different expressions she had seen Lyana wear. Suddenly, she realized that not only did she look exactly like her eldest daughter-in-law from behind, but her aura was also very similar to that of her eldest daughter-in-law.

Also, Lyana’s eyes were exactly the same as Alexia’s.

If she didn’t know her stepdaughter was overseas right now, she might have thought she was his stepdaughter!

Oh my God !

How can there be two people who look so alike in this world?

Looking at Lyana’s back as she walked away, Alexia was stunned as well. She whispered:

– She really looks like her!

Matriarch Royer stared at Lyana unblinkingly, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Lyana felt their gazes on her and felt a little uncomfortable. It was only after they moved a good distance away that the awkwardness dissipated.

Could it be that Matriarch Royer didn’t like the blessing bag she embroidered?

With this thought in mind, she asked shyly:

– Grandma, do you think they like the blessing bag I made?

When Matriarch Sanchez heard Lyana’s question, she smiled softly. In a soft voice, she said:

– Silly girl, of course they love her. Also, the blessing bag you embroidered was hung by Matriarch Royer herself. It means she really likes the blessing bag you made.

Lyana smiled and nodded. She looked down, her eyes filled with confusion.

Since the Royer family loved her blessing bag, why did they keep staring at her?

She couldn’t understand and couldn’t bother to think about it either.

She helped Matriarch Sanchez into the car. At this time, a white sports car drove up and stopped in the parking space behind their car.

A glamorous girl got out of the car with a smile. His gaze fell on Lyana’s back not far away, and his eyes lit up. She approached. – Mom, when did you come back? Didn’t you say you wanted…

Lyana heard the cheerful voice from behind. She turned around and saw an exceptional looking young woman standing behind her.

She knew this young woman. This is Muriel, the most popular young female celebrity in the entertainment industry.

When Muriel took a good look at Lyana’s face, her smile froze. She apologized:

– I’m sorry. I took you for someone else.

Lyana shook her head.

– It’s not serious.

If she had such a beautiful daughter, she would certainly be very proud of her.

When Muriel saw Matriarch Sanchez in the back seat of the car, she quickly waved:

– Good morning, Mrs. Sanchez.

Matriarch Sanchez gave a slight nod. She doesn’t say anything else.

Muriel watched Lyana get into Matriarch Sanchez’s car. After the Sanchez family car left, a trace of confusion crossed Muriel’s eyes.

Who was this girl?

At the moment, Matriarch Sanchez seemed to be very close to her.

She remembers that Laura and Julie didn’t look like that.

What embarrassed Muriel the most was that she had even confused a young woman with her mother. How embarrassing.

The car gradually left the Royer family villa.

Lyana remembered that Muriel had just confused her with someone else. She asked curiously:

– Grandmother, what is Muriel’s relationship with the Royer family?

Matriarch Sanchez had expected this question, and had prepared an answer. With Muriel’s reaction in mind, she explained:

At the time, when the eldest daughter of the Royer family died an unnatural death, the Royer family was extremely upset. It was around this time that they met Muriel, who had been abandoned on the streets. She was therefore brought back to the Royer family and took the surname of Mrs. Royer. They took her as their adopted daughter.

Lyana nodded in understanding. According to the reaction of the members of the Royer family at the moment, the departure of the eldest daughter of their family had been a huge blow for them. Even now, the Royer family had yet to recover from the untimely demise of their eldest daughter.

Muriel was the adopted daughter of the Royer family. Does this mean that the “mother” Muriel was referring to was Madam Royer?

Could it be that she looked a lot like Madame Royer, whom she had never met?

A few fragmented memories flashed through Lyana’s mind, but she couldn’t grasp them.

– Lyana Lyana.

Matriarch Sanchez smiled softly and extended her hand to Lyana. His eyes were filled with love.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Lyana came to her senses and smiled at Matriarch Sanchez.

– Grandmother.

– I heard from Thomas that it’s your birthday today.

As she spoke, the Matriarch pulled a dark blue ticket out of her pocket and handed it to Lyana.

– You registered your marriage with Vincent. Now you are a member of the Sanchez family. It’s your first birthday since you arrived at the Sanchez residence. It’s a little present Grandma prepared for you. Hurry to accept it. Happy birthday, my Lyana.

When she heard Matriarch Sanchez’s words, her heart warmed. Looking at the ticket in his hand, his eyes lit up like the stars in the night sky.

– It’s a ticket for Mr. Timothy’s concert.

– Yes. You love it ?

The matriarch looked at Lyana lovingly.

Lyana held the ticket firmly in her hand. Mr. Timothee was a world famous musician. She had heard that tickets to her concerts were only sold to music industry insiders. Only the best musicians in the industry had a chance of getting tickets.

Grandma had given her a ticket.

Lyana’s eyes grew hot. She looked up at Matriarch Sanchez and said gratefully:

– Thank you, Grandma. Grandmother, how did you know that I liked M. Timothee’s music?

Matriarch Sanchez smiled teasingly.

– Vincent told me, of course.

She was slightly stunned.

It’s strange.

She had never told Vincent that she liked M. Timothee’s music.

However, she didn’t need to think about it right now. She hugged matriarch Sanchez gratefully and said happily:

– Grandma, thank you very much. You are so nice to me.

Matriarch Sanchez’s heart softened when she saw Lyana’s sweet and flirtatious ways. It was the first time she behaved like the young girl she had been since her marriage to the Sanchez family!

Matriarch Sanchez gently patted Lyana’s back.

– Good girl. You are my darling child. Isn’t it normal that I treat you well? Happy birthday.

Lyana’s eyes were a little wet. She smiled and nodded.

After returning to the Sanchez residence, she placed the note Matriarch Sanchez had given her in the vanity cabinet. His eyes sparkle with joy.

She looked at the time on her phone. It had been some time since she had left a blood sample at the hospital. Thinking of how the Royer family was mourning their eldest daughter, she pulled out her phone and dialed the number for the hospital.

– Hello, this is the nurses’ station. I’m Nurse Tessier.

At the time, Nurse Tessier was the one who took Lyana’s blood sample. Lyana smiled and waved:

– Nurse Tessier, hello. I am Lyana Dubois.

– Hello, Miss Dubois.

Nurse Tessier had a deep impression of Lyana. After all, she was too beautiful.
