Draven replied, “Not yet.” He wanted to wait for Ayla to come back and move in together.

“That’s good.”

Draven texted, “The next time Kaleb comes over, we won’t be able to hide it.”

Ayla agreed. “Then let’s test Kaleb’s attitude later.”

“Okay.”

The siblings stepped out of the elevator and went inside.

The moment Kaleb walked in, he saw Draven sitting on the couch. He was sure this was Ayla’s place. His face darkened on the spot. “Ayla! Why is he in

your house?”

Kaleb already didn’t like Draven. Now, there was suddenly another man in his sister’s home. It felt like someone had invaded his territory.

Kaleb was furious. “Does he know your door code? Ayla, you actually gave another man your code? So he can just come and go as he pleases? What are you thinking? How can you hand out your home code to some guy?”

Ayla thought, There’s no need to test anything at all.

Kaleb can’t accept it. Even if I tell him it’s a fake relationship, he still won’t accept it.

“I had Meryll open the door for him. We’re eating together today.”

In the kitchen, Meryll was busy cooking and didn’t have time to come out and

greet them.

Kaleb’s face grew darker. “No. Make him leave. Just seeing him ruins my appetite!”

Hearing the noise, Draven stood up and walked over.

Kaleb stopped talking and stared at Draven coldly. Once Draven got closer, Kaleb couldn’t hold it in anymore. “You’re so rich; can’t you afford a housekeeper? Why’d you come to my house on the weekend to freeload a meal? That’s really shameless!”

Kaleb deliberately emphasized the words “my house,” drawing a clear line.

Draven hadn’t even spoken yet and had already been chewed out, but he didn’t bother arguing with Kaleb, especially not with his future brother–in–law. “Ayla said you were coming, so I figured I’d ask about how the company’s doing. Call it giving me a status update.”

Chapter 286 Man in the House

As a major shareholder, Draven had the right to ask.

Kaleb instantly glared at Ayla. “You were already in touch with him in the car?”

Traitor!

Kaleb figured that since Ayla had only recently divorced, she should still be firmly single.

Now, he wasn’t so sure. It was even worse. She was clearly being way too accommodating toward Draven.

If Draven makes unreasonable demands, will Ayla go along with them?

Ayla blinked.

Draven picked up the conversation. “No. I contacted your sister about work, and she just mentioned you’d be coming.”

After saying that, Draven glanced at Ayla.

Ayla understood immediately. Even without the look, she would’ve played along. “Yeah. I just mentioned it in passing.”

Kaleb felt something was off, but without proof, he could only stare at Draven defensively. “She just mentioned it, and you think you can just come over?”

Ayla said, “He’s here so you can brief him.”

Kaleb snapped, “I don’t have time! It’s the weekend. I’m off. I don’t want to report anything!”

Draven remained calm and unshaken. “Then I’ll have Emmett come over. He’ll probably be very happy to.”

Kaleb instantly felt another stab to the chest.

Draven was eight years older than him. Those extra eight years of experience made him an old fox already. In a battle of words, Kaleb was completely outmatched.

If Kaleb was really going to fight with Draven…

First, Draven was a major shareholder who had invested a full 300 million dollars into his company. If he threw a punch, his career would be over.

Second, whether he could even win was questionable. Draven was a few inches taller, broad- shouldered, with his chest muscles faintly outlined.

Meanwhile, Kaleb was buried in work every day. His workouts barely lasted 30 minutes a day,

just enough to keep his body from going soft. To build real muscle, he’d need years.

Right now, Kaleb could only deadlift about 175 pounds, not even 220 yet. Strength–wise, he definitely couldn’t compete.

Kaleb couldn’t beat him in a fight. He couldn’t out–talk him either. Draven was immune to verbal attacks.

After analyzing it all, Kaleb felt even more wounded.

Luckily, this was Ayla’s place. Kaleb didn’t bother being polite. He walked in and flopped down on the couch, completely taking over the spot Draven had just been sitting in.

Ayla’s head hurt. “Mr. Storm, don’t mind him. He’s always like this at home.”

Draven said, “It’s fine.”

Kaleb shouted, “If you don’t like it, tell him to leave! Why explain so much? You talk too much!”

Ayla snapped. “Shut up and lie down.”

Kaleb turned his head toward the ceiling and sulked. His mind was spinning, but he couldn’t think of a single good solution.

The main problem was that he’d lost the initiative.

Draven was Ayla’s boss and also his company’s shareholder. That alone put him in a higher position. Kaleb was passive at every turn. There was really no way for Kaleb to win this.

Kaleb felt like he was about to blow a gasket.

Ayla led Draven out to the terrace.

There were couches on the terrace too. The sunlight was gentle today, with a light breeze.

Ahead was the rooftop pool, something only the top floor had. It wasn’t in use, and it was unclear whether there was water in it, but the surrounding greenery was lush and well–kept. Sitting on the couch felt like sitting in the middle of a forest. It was a different kind of quiet within the noise.

The two sat down on the couch. The space was large, and with the terrace door closed, Kaleb couldn’t hear their conversation at all.
