The Substitute Bride Doted by My billionaire Husband

Chapter 666: Love, Like a Dream

Marcus was an orphan who had learned to be independent from a young age. By a chance encounter on the street, he met Anabelle, who was just slightly over three years old at the time.

Young Anabelle was petite and thin. She approached him and said, “Big brother, I haven’t eaten in at long time. Can you share a steamed bun with me?”

At that moment, he had two steamed buns and generously gave one to her.

Holding the steamed bun, young Anabelle bowed to him and said in a soft and polite voice, “Thank you, big brother.”

He thought she would eat the steamed bun herself, but Anabelle ran over to her mother and gave the

bun to her.

Her mother quickly devoured the bun, not sharing any of it with Anabelle.

At that time, Anabelle and her mother had already been ostracized by Lady Midas, and they had no place in the Royal Capital. They had to sleep on the streets.

In that area, there were many ruffians and hooligans. Despite her young age, Anabelle’s delicate face showed the early signs of a beauty, and some shady and lecherous men would tease her and even touch her face.

He decided to take Anabelle and her mother. Although his house was dilapidated, it provided them a place to stay.

Anabelle was very grateful to him and always called him “big brother.”

Soon, he learned about Anabelle’s background. Due to the illness of the wealthy Miss Lily, she decided to switch lives with Anabelle.

On that day, Anabelle left him to go to the Midas Family and become the shadow of Miss Midas, while her mother fell seriously ill and needed a large sum of money, a seemingly insurmountable obstacle.

A young girl had to bear it all prematurely, but she remained unafraid and resolute. She was as quiet as ever, smiling as she hid him farewell. “Big brother, I’m leaving. I’m going to live in a big house. I will live well. Big brother, please don’t come find me, and don’t say you know me. I don’t want to burden you or put you in danger. Thank you, big brother. I will remember you forever.”
