A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

A trace of confusion shone in Lyana’s eyes. Perplexed, she asked,

“Lucas, why haven’t I heard you mention Ornella before?”

Hearing Lyana’s words, Lucas frowned and seriously explained:

“Actually, I didn’t realize we could be siblings until I first saw her.

“You didn’t live together in the past?”

Lyana asked in confusion, although she already had a vague guess.

Lucas shook his head gently and said:

“She lived in Sancity. She came to An City to pick me up today. It was only then that we realized we looked a lot alike.

Thanks to Lucas’s words, Lyana roughly understood what had happened. It seems that Vincent and Lucas did not know of the existence of Ornella.

If she was right, she had to be Lucas’ twin sister.

Although she looks exactly like Lucas, it is not excluded that they are not related by blood. With a scientific and rigorous spirit, Lyana felt that she had to do a paternity test for Lucas and Ornella.

Lyana pulled Lucas towards Ornella and slowly crouched down. With a slight smile in her eyes, she asked softly:

“Ornella, how did you get here?” Did you come with your family, or did you come here alone? Who else is part of your family?

Ornella stared at Lyana without blinking.

She was so sweet and so beautiful. No wonder Dad and Brother love him so much.

If she stayed with Aunt Lyana, she would love her too.

Ornella tried to pretend to be calm and avoided the main point.

“Aunt, I came here alone.

A trace of surprise shone in Lyana’s eyes, but she quickly calmed down.

For such a young child, coming this far alone, wasn’t her family worried about her?

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way.

Lyana couldn’t meddle too much in other people’s business. It would not be good for his family to be unhappy.

She glanced at Lucas, then at Ornella. She asked :

“Ornella, I want you and Lucas to do a DNA test. I wonder if you agree?

She had heard from other people that DNA testing was used to determine if the other party was her relative.

– OK.

Although Ornella has already confirmed that Brother Lucas is her brother, strangers might think that she and Brother Lucas are not related. She didn’t want there to be any misunderstanding between her and Brother Lucas.

It was also the first time that Lyana came to the Dongang villa. She wasn’t familiar with the situation here, so she could only ask Lucas for a nail clipper.

Lucas handed the nail clippers to Lyana.

She crouched down in front of Ornella and took her hand, preparing to cut her nails.

However, when Lyana touched her palm, she was stunned.

She was clearly just a child, but her palms were covered in calluses. If she wasn’t mistaken, she should have worked at home often.

In today’s society, children were all pampered. Even though they came from families with poorer conditions, it was impossible for them to let a five-year-old child work. Why would their family members let them do so much work when they were young?

She didn’t know how she had lived all these years. His heart tightens a little.

Her grip on Ornella loosened a little, lest she hurt her.

Ornella felt Lyana’s movements and felt a strange feeling in her heart. The hand Aunty Lyana was touching seemed to have a warm current flowing through its veins.

She looked up at Lyana. For some reason, she couldn’t help but want to get closer to her.

Aunt Lyana was really a very sweet and good person!

Lyana carefully clipped Ornella’s fingernails, then put them in a bag.

Ornella had heard from other people that a DNA test required a blood test. She looked at Lyana in confusion and asked:

“Aunt Lyana, don’t you need to take a blood test for me?”

– It’s not necessary. Your nails are enough.

After Lyana packed her nails, she helped Lucas cut his and put them in another bag.

After that, she called the student who was studying under her.

After the call, Lyana smiled at Lucas and Ornella and asked:

“It’s almost noon. What do you want to eat ? I’m going to cook now.

– Soup.

– Meat.

The two spoke in unison.

When they sat down together, Lyana looked at their identical faces. Her heart melted at their cuteness.

She noticed that she said she wanted to drink soup, while Lucas said he wanted to eat meat.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Lyana knew what to do. She nodded and said:

“You two can play at home. Don’t go out. I will go to the kitchen to cook now.

Lucas nodded obediently.

He walked to the door and watched Lyana descend the stairs with her own eyes. Only then did he move towards Ornella’s side.

“Ornella, is there anything you want to eat?” You can tell me directly. I’ll go downstairs and tell Aunty Lyana.

Lucas looked at Ornella with concern. He didn’t understand why she only drank soup. The meat was clearly more nutritious and delicious.

Besides, she looked so thin. She definitely had to eat more meat to gain weight.

“I’m just going to drink the soup.

Ornella gave an obedient smile.

– So what do you think of Aunt Lyana? Lucas asked shyly. He was a little afraid that Ornella wouldn’t eat meat because she didn’t like Auntie Lyana.

When she thought about how Lyana had cut her nails just now, she felt very hot.

She still remembers the time her mom took the initiative to hug her. Her mom’s embrace was very warm, but she felt no warmer than Aunty Lyana’s.

Aunt Lyana was like the winter sun warming her.

– She is very kind.

Not only was Aunt Lyana sweet, but she was also methodical. After knowing her condition, she immediately helped her recognize her ancestors and even took the initiative to do a DNA test.

Also, Aunty Lyana was cooking for them now.

She had just arrived and could already eat Aunt Lyana’s cooking.

If only she could eat mom’s cooking too.

Thinking about this, the light in Ornella’s eyes gradually dimmed.

If mom had two hands like a normal person, and if mom wasn’t sick, she should be able to eat the food mom had prepared for her.

If only mom could be healthy.

Ornella lowered her head in disappointment.

Seeing Ornella like this, Lucas was a little puzzled. He didn’t know how to comfort Ornella and said:

“Sister, why don’t we play a game together?”

When he first saw Ornella, he thought she was his little brother. Later, she changed and asked him to come out and wait for her.

It was only then that he knew she was his little sister.

When she heard Lucas’ voice, she looked up at him. She knew he was worried about her, so she pushed all the unhappiness in her heart to the back of her mind. She smiled brightly and nodded.

– OK.

From then on, the two pulled out their phones and started playing games.

When Lyana drove up to the villa, she realized there was a big supermarket not far away. It wouldn’t take more than five minutes to get there.

She went to the supermarket. After buying the ingredients, she carried them into the kitchen.

She washed the ribs distractedly.

When she touched Ornella’s hands, they were clearly hands that worked often. This means that she often worked from home.

Since she was living with her mother, why did she work so often?

Lyana placed the washed ribs in the pot to simmer, then stood to the side and waited.

His heart was in shambles now. She had just found out that Lucas was Vincent’s child, and now Vincent had a daughter. There were too many surprises.

In fact, she was already 100% sure that Ornella was Vincent’s child. She had only taken the paternity test so that no one could blame her for anything and no one would question Ornella’s identity.

When she first saw Lucas and Ornella, she couldn’t help but think of her two children who had passed away.

If these two children were still alive, they would probably be the same age as them. Thinking about that, Lyana couldn’t help but feel sad.
