The Substitute Bride

"You can call him if you're really worried about him." Joanna could tell that Isla hadn't totally forgotten Aron yet. Isla still cared about him. She was just afraid of getting hurt again, so she tried to protect herself by suppressing her emotions for him.

Isla was so worried about Aron that she forgot what the movie was about. It must have been a comedy because the audience would occasionally burst into laughter. But Isla couldn't concentrate on the movie. She felt like an idiot sitting there with a stranger.

"We still have much time now, so how about finding somewhere quiet to have a talk?" Stephen suggested when the movie ended. Evidently, Isla was not in mood, so she apologized to Stephen. "I'm sorry. I'm too tired today. I want to go home and rest."

"Tired?" Stephen felt a little disappointed. Then he did some thinking for a moment and got excited immediately. "My house is not far away and I live alone, so you can have a rest there." he told Isla with a sinister smile.

Isla saw through his evil intention. She thought he was a good person before, but now she found that she was wrong.

"What do you mean?" Isla asked him to make sure she didn't misunderstand his intention.

"Come on. We are both adults. It is something that we need to try before we get married. There is nothing to be worried about. Let's just do it like a couple." Stephen looked at Isla impatiently.

Isla sneered, then she said, "Sorry I don't understand what you mean. Can you make it clear?"

"What?" Stephen couldn't believe she didn't get what he meant. She is a woman who is not young any more. Should he spell it out for her? "I mean that we can have sex... Let's try it before we get married. If you ar

to your words!" Isla warned him with tears on her face.

"No. You pay attention to your behavior. You have been cheating on me, remember? To tell you the truth, I am dating you just because you have a good-looking face. You are just an old woman and nobody will love you." Stephen was pulling on all the stops to humiliate Isla.

"You..."

Isla was annoyed and wanted to argue with Stephen. Aron was also irritated. He took off his suit and was ready to beat him up, but Isla held him back and said, "It's a waste of time to fight this asshole."

"What do you want to do?

Do you want to beat me up? I warn you if you lay a finger on me, I'll call the police, you son of a bitch!" Stephen moved a few steps backwards, afraid of Aaron. Now he still felt pain from Stephen's punch. He didn't dare fight against Aron, so he could only release his anger by cursing.

"Say it again! I'll kill you, bitch!" Aron completely lost his temper now. He was polite with everybody, but he couldn't bear Stephen's dirty words any more and decided to teach him a lesson.

At this moment, Isla grasped his hand with all her strength to stop him.
