A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Before Denise could say anything, her aunt had already hung up.

Denise’s face went pale with fear. She had a bad feeling.

At that moment, his phone rang with a text message.

She turned on her phone and saw that the school had expelled her.

What ?

Was it really true?

The school had really kicked her out.

Denise’s legs gave out and she collapsed to the floor.

How was this possible?

Lucas was just the child of a neighborhood security guard. Lucas’ aunt was definitely not a big shot!

Could it be that Lucas’ aunt isn’t bluffing? Did she really know the director, Matheo Harris?

Denise looked at Lyana in disbelief. She pursed her lips nervously, remembering Lyana’s tone when she called Matheo Harris just now.

This woman must be very close to the director.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have spoken to the headmaster so casually.

Denise’s eyes instantly turned red.

Working in this school was his only chance to relate to high society. If she left, she would never be able to enter high society again in her life.

She had to stay here!

At all costs !

Even if she had to give up her dignity!

She crawled over to Lyana and knelt in front of her, apologizing with red eyes.

– Miss Sanchez, Miss Sanchez, it’s really my fault. I made a mistake, I made a mistake. I am really sorry! I shouldn’t have blamed student Lucas Sanchez without thoroughly investigating. It’s only now that I know he’s a smart kid. I must have been kicked in the head by a donkey, or maybe there was something wrong with my brain. That’s why I said those words. Miss Sanchez, please give me another chance, okay? Can you call Director Harris and ask him to babysit me?

Lyana looked at Denise’s pitiful ways and said coldly,

– No.

For someone like Denise, who swooned over the rich and powerful, she had no idea what was wrong. It was his true character. He had been rooted in her for a long time. It’s like a dog that can’t change its habit of eating poop. She believed that Denise would never change.

Denise apologized mostly because she knew she couldn’t afford to offend him.

If Denise had met a child from an ordinary family today, that child would have been bullied by her for every day he studied here.

How innocent were the children who were bullied?

Countless children like Lucas had been bullied at this school.

Denise did not apologize because she loved her child.

She was not worthy of being a teacher.

Lyana walked towards the classroom. She opened the door and waved at Lucas.

When Lucas saw Lyana, his eyes lit up. He hastily picked up his small school bag and rushed off.

Holding Lucas’ hand, Lyana walked out. The security guard saw that the system recognized Lyana’s face, so he didn’t arrest her.

Lucas held Lyana’s hand. Feeling the warmth in his palm, he felt a little uneasy.

Lucas pulled his hand away.

Lyana looked down at Lucas. Seeing his cold expression, she couldn’t help laughing.

Lyana held out her hand to Lucas and said softly:

– Give me your hand.

Lucas frowned slightly and said.

– It’s not good. Men and women should not touch each other.

Lyana was left speechless.

Lyana really didn’t expect Lucas to know so much at such a young age.

Of course, Lyana didn’t insist. Last time, Lucas hadn’t held her hand either. She thought maybe Lucas wasn’t used to touching other people.

Lyana took Lucas to a dessert shop near the school.

They sat opposite each other.

Lucas took fifteen dollars out of his school bag and put them on the table. He pushed them in front of Lyana, his face full of seriousness.

– It’s the money I owe you.

Lyana didn’t do a ceremony. She even put the money aside. Purse lips, she said:

– Is there no interest?

When Lucas heard Lyana’s words, he inexplicably remembered what she said to Denise.

Our child…

Although he is young, he has been through a lot. Previously, when Aunty took care of Denise, it was as if her father had helped teach Anne a lesson.

She was exactly like her father.

For Lucas, people like his father were good people. They treated him well.

Lucas rested his chin on his hands and looked at Lyana without batting an eyelid, like an adult. He said :

– I’m going to buy you dessert today. Take it as interest.

Lyana’s eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky. His intelligence instantly plummeted. Smiling, she says:

– Wow, the Lucas in our family is rich now. So I’m going to eat delicious desserts.

When Lucas heard the words “our family”, his lips curled involuntarily. He nodded his head dominatingly and said:

– Yes, you can eat whatever you want. I have the ability to repay you.

Lyana was slightly stunned.

Why did she find this so familiar?

Then, Lucas said preciously:

– I only brought fifteen dollars today. I have already returned them to you. I’ll give you the rest later.

Lyana smiles. It was a familiar strategy.

– Of course !

Lucas lifted his chin and said seriously:

– Order the most expensive dish!

In that moment, Lyana felt like she was being pampered by an overbearing CEO. She didn’t do a ceremony and chose two branded drinks, as well as a cupcake. It was a total of 100 dollars.

– That’s enough ?

Lucas nodded without hesitation.

– No problem.

After the service staff took away the menu, Lyana looked at Lucas. Lucas was quite handsome. His fox eyes were a bit round, like those of a peach blossom. Her thin hair made her look cool.

For some reason, Lyana felt that face looked a bit familiar to her, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen it before.

When Lucas was dressed as a girl, he was obedient and cute. Now he was handsome as a man.

At that moment, Lyana remembered her deceased child. If this child were still alive, he would probably be the same age as Lucas. She wondered if he would be as adorable as Lucas.

Lyana remembered that Lucas specially dressed as a girl. She asked curiously:

– Lucas, you’re a boy. Why were you pretending to be a girl?

When Lucas heard Lyana’s words, his bright eyes gradually darkened. He lowered his head in disappointment, his hands intertwined.

Lyana was slightly stunned. She apologized:

– Lucas, if you don’t want to tell me, forget it. I am fair…

– Because…

Lucas lowered his head and interrupted Lyana in a low voice, his voice tinged with disappointment.

– Dad seems to prefer girls.

When Lyana heard Lucas’ words, she was stunned. Worried that she had misheard, she couldn’t help but ask:

– So you want your father to like you?

Lucas nodded seriously.

Hearing Lucas’s words, Lyana’s heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand. It hurt him terribly.

A child prefers to suffer and dress as a girl just because his father likes girls?

This father was really too incompetent!

Lyana frowned slightly and said softly:

– Lucas, you don’t need to change for the others. You are who you are. You are unique in this world, so you just have to be yourself. Do you understand ?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Lucas seemed to have understood. He nodded seriously.

– So even though I’m a boy, dad will still love me?

Hearing Lucas’ question, Lyana’s heart ached. This child was too adorable.

– Where is Mom ?
