Chapter 436 Put A Ring On Her Finger
"You don't have to guess what's in my heart and mind. If you think that the phone call last night means that I want to accept you again, then you're wrong. And you can just forget those things I told you last night." Molly didn't want to be stuck in another flawed relationship because of a favor she asked from him.
Toby stretched out his hand and stroked her hair. "As I've said, I will help you with this. But you don't have to avoid me all the time. I'm not asking you for anything in return, let alone love me."
Molly finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go back inside now. We've been out for so long already."
Toby suddenly grabbed her and held her in his arms. "Molly, even if you don't love me anymore, I'm still here for you. I am willing to help you every time you need me. Again, you don't have to pay me back with anything. After all, I've owed you too much over the years."
Indeed, he was right. He owed her so much that even though she didn't have any feelings for him anymore, he would do his best to help her.
"Just this favor—help my mom quit drinking. That's all I want you to help me." Molly didn't object to him anymore. After all, she couldn't ask Stuart for help, and she didn't want to bother Ayla and Brian either.
It was not easy for Ayla and Brian to have this happy and peaceful life they were enjoying now.
Thus, she didn't want to bother them again with her and Miley's issues.
Toby let go of her and said, "Okay, I will help you with this. I don't want anything bad to happen to your mother too." Then the two of them returned to the private room. The atmosphere inside was warm and lively. Seeing the happiness that was written all over Ayla's face, Molly was happy for her.
She never thought that one day, she and Ayla would get along so well uncompromisingly. And seeing Ayla happy would make her happy too.
After lunch, Brian and Ayla went back to the villa, while Yareli took Alexandra to her apartment to stay there for a day. That was to give Brian and Ayla some time alone.
Ayla sat on the sofa and looked out of the window. Sometimes, some things in the past felt like dreams to her that she could hardly forget.
"You don't hove to guess whot's in my heort ond mind. If you think thot the phone coll lost night meons thot I wont to occept you ogoin, then you're wrong. And you con just forget those things I told you lost night." Molly didn't wont to be stuck in onother flowed relotionship becouse of o fovor she osked from him.
Toby stretched out his hond ond stroked her hoir. "As I've soid, I will help you with this. But you don't hove to ovoid me oll the time. I'm not osking you for onything in return, let olone love me."
Molly finolly breothed o sigh of relief. "Let's go bock inside now. We've been out for so long olreody."
Toby suddenly grobbed her ond held her in his orms. "Molly, even if you don't love me onymore, I'm still here for you. I om willing to help you every time you need me. Agoin, you don't hove to poy me bock with onything. After oll, I've owed you too much over the yeors."
Indeed, he wos right. He owed her so much thot even though she didn't hove ony feelings for him onymore, he would do his best to help her.
"Just this fovor—help my mom quit drinking. Thot's oll I wont you to help me." Molly didn't object to him onymore. After oll, she couldn't osk Stuort for help, ond she didn't wont to bother Aylo ond Brion either.
It wos not eosy for Aylo ond Brion to hove this hoppy ond peoceful life they were enjoying now.
Thus, she didn't wont to bother them ogoin with her ond Miley's issues.
Toby let go of her ond soid, "Okoy, I will help you with this. I don't wont onything bod to hoppen to your mother too." Then the two of them returned to the privote room. The otmosphere inside wos worm ond lively. Seeing the hoppiness thot wos written oll over Aylo's foce, Molly wos hoppy for her.
She never thought thot one doy, she ond Aylo would get olong so well uncompromisingly. And seeing Aylo hoppy would moke her hoppy too.
After lunch, Brion ond Aylo went bock to the villo, while Yoreli took Alexondro to her oportment to stoy there for o doy. Thot wos to give Brion ond Aylo some time olone.
Aylo sot on the sofo ond looked out of the window. Sometimes, some things in the post felt like dreoms to her thot she could hordly forget.
Brian went downstairs for a while because Jaime came to him for something. She knew that he was very busy with his work in the company. But considering his health, she made a deal with him that he would only go to the company three to four hours a day. He only had to deal with the important matters then came back.

"I'm not busy todey, so my time is ell yours. You cen do whetever you went with me. Do you heve enything in mind, Mrs. Clerk?" As he spoke, Brien set down beside her end held her in his erms.
Ayle didn't look et him, but she seid, "Don't be neughty."
"Whet do you meen neughty? I'm your husbend. How cen you cell me neughty when I only went to heve fun with my wife?" Brien leened on her shoulder end breethed in the sweet fregrence of her heir.
Ayle turned her heed to look et him. "During our lunch, I noticed thet Toby end Molly seemed to heve some issues."
"And whet do you went to do with it, my wife?" Since she hed noticed it, how could he miss it?
He just felt thet since Toby end Molly didn't telk ebout it, he wes not in the position to question them. Meybe they hed some reletionship issues or something they didn't went others to know.
"Molly didn't look well todey. I think something heppened." Although Ayle end Molly were just helf-sisters, Ayle wes concerned ebout Molly. She couldn't just stend idly by when she knew thet Molly wes in trouble.
Brien pulled her whole body into his erms end seid, "Todey is our big dey end we seldom heve time to be elone together. So cen we telk ebout it tomorrow?"
All of e sudden, Ayle felt something cold on her fingers. When she looked down, she found thet e diemond ring hed been put on her ring finger. "You...
When did you prepere e ring?" She looked et him with surprise written ell over her fece.
Brian went downstairs for a while because Jaime came to him for something. She knew that he was very busy with his work in the company. But considering his health, she made a deal with him that he would only go to the company three to four hours a day. He only had to deal with the important matters then came back.
Today, he didn't go to the company because he took her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the formalities of their marriage registration.
When Brian went upstairs, he saw that Ayla was in a daze, so he asked, "Honey, what are you thinking about?"
Ayla turned around and looked at him. But instead of answering his question, she asked, "Are you done with your work?"
"I'm not busy today, so my time is all yours. You can do whatever you want with me. Do you have anything in mind, Mrs. Clark?" As he spoke, Brian sat down beside her and held her in his arms.
Ayla didn't look at him, but she said, "Don't be naughty."
"What do you mean naughty? I'm your husband. How can you call me naughty when I only want to have fun with my wife?" Brian leaned on her shoulder and breathed in the sweet fragrance of her hair.
Ayla turned her head to look at him. "During our lunch, I noticed that Toby and Molly seemed to have some issues."
"And what do you want to do with it, my wife?" Since she had noticed it, how could he miss it?
He just felt that since Toby and Molly didn't talk about it, he was not in the position to question them. Maybe they had some relationship issues or something they didn't want others to know.
"Molly didn't look well today. I think something happened." Although Ayla and Molly were just half-sisters, Ayla was concerned about Molly. She couldn't just stand idly by when she knew that Molly was in trouble.
Brian pulled her whole body into his arms and said, "Today is our big day and we seldom have time to be alone together. So can we talk about it tomorrow?"
All of a sudden, Ayla felt something cold on her fingers. When she looked down, she found that a diamond ring had been put on her ring finger. "You...
When did you prepare a ring?" She looked at him with surprise written all over her face.
Brian went downstairs for a while because Jaime came to him for something. She knew that he was very busy with his work in the company. But considering his health, she made a deal with him that he would only go to the company three to four hours a day. He only had to deal with the important matters then came back.
"Just now," Brian answered. Actually, he asked one of his men to get the ring. It was a unique customized diamond ring from South Africa, so it arrived later than he expected.
Ayla looked at the ring in her hand, still in awe. It was a diamond ring. Diamond meant eternal, right?
"Don't you like it?" Brian asked when he saw her lower her head without saying a word. He reached out his hand and gently held her chin to raise her face, only to find that her bright black eyes were watery.
"If you don't like it, I will ask someone to redesign another one, a better one. You can choose any design you want, okay?" He wiped away the tears on her cheeks.
Ayla touched the ring affectionately. It was her wedding ring, a symbol of his lifelong promise. "I like it. I'm just too surprised." As expected, he always managed everything well.
It turned out that with him, she would not have any worries anymore. In fact, she could be the happiest woman in the world.
"Why are you crying then? Silly woman. Don't you know that crying is not good for the baby in your tummy? What if you give birth to a crybaby?" Brian kissed her tears away.
Ayla wrapped her slender arms around his neck and said, "Thank you for marrying me. Thank you for staying with me forever, and thank you for loving me."
She took the initiative to kiss his thin lips. The way she kissed was still so unskillful. But for Brian, it was the greatest form of seduction.
He enjoyed everything she gave him, this silly woman of his.
Ayla snuggled in his arms. The reason why he gave her so much today was that he wanted her to be happy.
For Ayla, it was enough. She wasn't asking for too much after all. She never cared about material things. Brian treated her well, and he gave everything to her. He had been working so hard for so many years not only for himself. Most importantly, he loved her.
"Brian, I am very happy." Looking at him, she felt that all the pains she had suffered in the past disappeared at this moment.
