A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

The two turned around. Ines couldn’t help but smile. She rushed to Olga and grabbed her hand.

– Mom, you’re finally here!

Previously, Ines had tried to persuade her mother to pick up her father when he was released from prison.

But at that time, her mother said she was sorry and refused.

Ines really didn’t expect her mother to come after all. Ines was very happy.

Nathan put his right hand in his pocket. He cast an indifferent glance at Olga and retracted his gaze.

Ines could of course know what Nathan was thinking. Frowning slightly, she said sadly:

– Brother, it wasn’t easy for mom to come here. Why do you still act like that? It was not easy for our family to be reunited.

Although Nathan helped Olga solve the problem, that didn’t mean he forgave Olga for her ridiculous actions.

– She’s already divorced Dad, Nathan said coldly.

When Olga heard Nathan’s words, her face instantly paled. She didn’t expect her son to look down on her. She instantly felt bad.

– But…

Ines looked at Olga’s pale face and tried to gently persuade him.

“Brother, don’t say that. Besides, mom already knows her mistake. There is no need to keep dwelling on this problem. Can you…

Nathan frowned in disapproval and said:

– Ines, the affairs of the alumni are not to be discussed between juniors.

When Ines heard Nathan’s words, she lowered her gaze in disappointment and stopped responding.

She still remembered the day her father had hit her mother’s lover. That day, the news had spread like wildfire, and she had been too embarrassed to come out again. Fortunately, her brother had used a lot of force to control public opinion in the end, so she finally had the courage to come out.

During this period, Ines saw that Lyana’s life was getting better and better. She was even more angry, which made her very unsatisfied.

It was because of Lyana that her father went to jail and her parents had a fight. This matter could not be settled easily.

However, what puzzled Ines was that her brother seemed very concerned about Lyana.

While buying coffee for her brother this morning, she accidentally saw the tickets for Mr. Timothy’s concert. Moreover, this ticket had already been used.

She didn’t expect her brother to pay more and more attention to Lyana, because her brother didn’t like music at all.

At this idea, Ines frowns. His mood was getting worse and worse.

Olga thought her daughter was unhappy because of her. She comforted her gently,

– Ok, Ines, don’t be angry. Don’t get angry with your brother because of me.

Ines nodded slightly.

At that moment, the prison door opened.

A prison guard took Jacob out and gave him some instructions before letting him go.

Jacob forced himself to breathe fresh air, and his mood improved a little.

When Ines saw Jacob, she ran happily and shouted

– Dad.

Nathan approached too.

Olga was left alone. For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.

When Jacob saw his son and daughter, he couldn’t help but smile. He gently patted the two children on the shoulders.

Ines’ eyes instantly turned red. She looked at Jacob with concern, her heart aching for him.

– Dad, you’ve lost so much weight. What did you go through in there? They mistreated you?

Jacob clenched his fists tightly. Thanks to Vincent, his days inside could be described as years.

Nathan frowned coldly. He had also asked someone to make arrangements. Logically, his father shouldn’t have been tortured to this extent.

Jacob didn’t want the two kids to worry, so he could only swallow his bitterness on his own. A faint smile appeared on his face.

– I’m doing well. Let’s go home together.

Jacob looked up and noticed that Olga was also there.

His soft eyes instantly turned cold and he glared fiercely at Olga.

Olga said a few more words before taking a step forward.

– Dear…

– Shut up. We are already divorced!

Olga was shocked by Jacob’s tone. Her tears flowed uncontrollably.

– Honey, I’m really sorry. Do not be angry. In fact, I’ve been thinking about you for the last month. I couldn’t eat or sleep properly. I really know my mistake this time.

Seeing that Olga was still approaching, Jacob rose like a porcupine, all the spines of his body sticking up on tiptoe. He said angrily:

– Clear ! Do not come near me.

Olga wanted to take a step forward, but Nathan stopped her.

– Mom, you should leave quickly. Don’t make daddy unhappy.

Olga met her son’s cold gaze and felt a little hurt. Finally, she took a step back. She tilted her head and looked at Jacob saying:

– I have already cooked some of your favorite dishes at home. You can eat more. I will visit you another day.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

With that, she reluctantly left.

Looking at Olga’s lonely back, Ines’ tears flowed uncontrollably. She had to find a way to reconcile her parents. A family must be united.

In the villa of the Dubois family.

When Jacob saw the hot, fragrant food on the dining table, his throat involuntarily churned. Hunger instantly invaded his heart!

For about a month in prison, he had never eaten a full meal. Every day he thought about eating fish and meat. It would be better if he could have two bottles of white wine.

But now, when Jacob thought of how this table of dishes had all been prepared by Olga, this immoral woman, his stomach turned. He grabbed the table and turned over all the dishes.

Crash-

All the food on the table spilled onto the floor.

Seeing her father in this state, Ines’ eyes instantly turned red.

If Lyana hadn’t caused her father to be imprisoned, he wouldn’t have hated her mother so much.

Although it was his mother’s fault, his father was a victim who was cuckolded and went to jail for beating an adulterer. Who could bear such injustice?

Therefore, it would probably be even more difficult to reconcile his parents.

Nathan, who was standing to the side, was very calm. There was no emotion in his eyes, because it was all in line with his expectations.

After his father vented his anger, Nathan approached Jacob and comforted him.

– Dad, let’s go out for dinner. Ines and I will organize a banquet to welcome you.

Jacob’s gaze fell on Nathan. His son was the most remarkable of them all, and his irritation had subsided considerably. He nodded and said:

– All right !

In silence, Ines swallowed back her tears and hastened to follow. She understood that it was inappropriate to mention her mother in front of her father now. She will find another opportunity in the future!

She couldn’t let this family break up.

She had to work hard to build her own house.

Besides, she couldn’t let Lyana do whatever she wanted.

On the other hand, Lyana brought the document to the assessment center. As she left, she realized that there was still an hour and a half before the opening ceremony of the charity banquet.

Lyana sat in the car and looked at her watch.

The traffic was so heavy that the car did not move even after half an hour.

It was all his fault. She hadn’t been prepared in advance, and now she was stuck in a traffic jam.

Lyana’s gaze landed on the driver’s face.

– Sir, I’m coming down here!

With that, Lyana handed the money to the driver and got out of the car. She thought that after leaving this traffic jam, she could take a taxi again.

A car whistle sounded.

Lyana looked up and saw a man wearing a helmet sitting in a race car. Even so, he couldn’t hide his tall figure and cold aura.

Lyana’s gaze landed on the pair of beautiful phoenix-shaped eyes under the helmet. His lips curled slightly.

So it was Mr. Timothy.

Lyam glanced at the seat behind him and motioned for Lyana to sit down.

Lyana approached and got on the motorcycle.
