Chapter 265 Don’t Let Go

:

Ayla didn’t turn back until James’s figure disappeared from sight.

Her hand was still being held by a man.

Ayla lowered her head to look. Draven couldn’t have missed it. Thinking she didn’t like it, he was already about to let go. But Ayla didn’t release him. Instead, she tightened her grip on his hand.

Draven froze.

Last night, Ayla had rejected Draven’s concern. She didn’t know him well enough or trust him that much yet. But the sense of safety she felt the moment she saw him just now was something she couldn’t lie to herself about.

So now, she didn’t want to let go of his hand.

Draven sensed her intention and didn’t pull back. Instead, he held her hand even tighter.

They didn’t say anything. But Ayla felt that at this moment, her heart and Draven’s were very, very close.

She could clearly feel his worry for her. It was almost instinctive.

Ayla suddenly spoke without thinking, “Do you want to move in with me?”

Draven just looked at her.

Ayla met his eyes. “Don’t make me regret it.”

Draven had already guessed that Ayla crying like this had to be because of Troy. A terrifying storm was brewing in his chest. Hearing Ayla’s words so suddenly, he didn’t react at first. By the time she finished her second sentence, he understood everything.

He understood her intention to move closer to him. Ayla had actually been brave enough to smash the wall between them. Without thinking, Draven pressed a hand to the back of her neck and pulled her into his arms.

It was a domineering hold. Not an embrace, but a complete enclosure,

Ayla’s face rested against his chest. She listened to his steady, powerful heartbeat and leaned into him, feeling at ease as she waited for news about Halle,

Before long, James sent her a message to let her know everything was fine. “She’s okay. I’m taking her home first.”

Ayla looked up. “I want to go to Halle’s place.”

Draven’s fingertips brushed over the spot on her face where tears had fallen earlier, as if there were still tears there he wanted to wipe away. His touch was incredibly gentle. “I’ll go with you.”

Normally, when Draven rode in her car, he was the one driving.

But today, he didn’t. He sat in the passenger seat, holding his phone and sending messages nonstop.

He was on a business trip today. Ayla figured it was probably work–related and didn’t think much of it.

She didn’t see the chill in Draven’s eyes. He already knew what had happened tonight. He’d also given instructions to Herman. After everything was set in motion, Draven put his phone away.

“Give me your hand.”

Ayla gave him her right hand. Draven held it and calmly dropped a bomb that she could hardly believe. “I’ve arranged everything. Troy will disappear for a month.”

“How did you do that?”

“I moved on Winston Group’s overseas projects. I’ll also inform Grandpa. Troy has to leave.” Draven’s expression was cold. “When he comes back, Grandpa’s birthday will be close anyway. The timing is perfect.”

Ayla asked, “So you were handling this just now?”

“Yeah.”

Ayla was stunned by his execution. No matter how difficult something was, it seemed effortless for him. She lowered her head and looked at their joined hands, fingers interlaced. Draven still hadn’t answered whether he’d move in with her.

Ayla kept her eyes on the road.

She’d blurted it out earlier without thinking. Now that she was calm again, she felt no regret at all. She really did want Draven to live with her.

As if he’d seen through her thoughts, Draven brought it up himself. “I’ll move in.”

Ayla tightened her grip on the steering wheel. “Okay.”

Draven sensed her tension. He wanted to ask what they were to each other now. But they’d arrived at Halle’s place. The car turned onto Norton Road, and he didn’t ask.

Until they got out of the car, Draven kept holding her hand. Ayla let him.

Only after they stepped out did Draven release her.

Ayla knew the passcode to Halle’s place. There was a car in the garage, and the lights inside were on. They were already home.

Ayla opened the door and went in.

Then she froze.

She stepped inside, but there was no one in the living room.

Her heart suddenly tightened.

“Halle?”

The next second, lights came on across the garden outside the floor–to–ceiling windows.

Ayla saw James and Halle.

Halle saw her too and immediately walked over.

Taking advantage of the moment, Ayla acted like the homeowner, told Draven to go inside first, then ran outside to meet them.

Halle walked over quickly and hugged her tight. The worry on her face was obvious as she looked Ayla up and down. “You scared me to death. That bastard didn’t do anything to you, did he?”

After asking, Halle noticed Ayla’s red eyes. Anger flared instantly. “You cried? How bad was it? Damn it, where’s Troy? I’m going to settle this with him!”

Hearing Halle’s concern made Ayla feel incredibly warm. When you’re with the right people, you grow better and better. When you’re with the wrong ones, you don’t even notice yourself becoming withdrawn, irritable, and emotionally unstable.
