Divorce and Freedom No More Homemaker for Him novel Chapter 317

Melody said coldly, “Fine. Let’s see how long you can keep acting so proud.”

She snatched up her purse and went to sit somewhere else.

Ayla calmly looked away, slid her laptop into her bag, and checked the time. Draven should be coming out in two or three minutes.

She texted him, Tm at the airport to pick you up.”

There was no reply–he probably hadn’t seen it yet.

Herman and Draven got off the plane and headed straight toward the VIP exit.

Herman saw the message on his phone. “Melody is here.

Draven didn’t respond.

“I didn’t tell her to come. She showed up on her own. I’ll deal with her later. You go first. I won’t let her bother you

Herman had warned Melody countless times to give up on Draven. She always agreed out loud, then went right back to doing the opposite. She always found a way to get closer. It gave him a headache.

Honestly, Herman had been having headaches all week.

Before coming back, Draven had even flown to Italoria just to buy an outrageou sculpture.

Lisive stone

Maybe he really liked art, but wasn’t it exhausting to go through all that trouble?

Herman thought it would be a fun trip and tagged along, only to regret it when they flew straight back right after buying the piece.

Draven, meanwhile, clenched his hand.

For a whole week, Ayla hadn’t sent him a single message.

Did she feel better being alone? Did she regret letting him move in?

If he hadn’t heard her call Troy’s name while she was drunk, he would have contacted her long ago. But he still hadn’t processed it–he just couldn’t yet.

Draven pressed his lips together.

At least he was finally heading home.

Once he saw Ayla, maybe he would stop overthinking everything.

Draven kept walking. Herman said nothing more and followed behind. After clearing the checkpoint, they walked side by side.

Herman glanced at her, confused about who would even bully her, but still asked, “Who?”

She sneered. “Come with me. Turn the corner ahead. She’s sitting in the café!”

Ayla had no one backing her up, but Melody did.

All Draven wanted after landing was to get home as fast as possible. It was the weekend, so Ayla should be there. If he went back now, he might see her. He’d forced himself not to contact her for a whole week Now, he couldn’t wait anymore.

His steps unconsciously quickened. He walked so fast that Herman and Melody struggled to keep up.

Then, a tall, slender woman in a white outfit entered his sight. She had a pure black bag over her shoulder. Afternoon sunlight poured in through the skylight, falling on her fair face. Her eyes shone like diamonds, warming even her naturally cool, beautiful gaze.

She looked at him and smiled gently. “Draven, I’m here to pick you up.”

Draven lowered his lashes slightly and met Ayla’s gaze. At the moment their gaze locked, all the tension. confusion, and frustration from the past week shattered. In just one second, it all faded away.

His heart started beating fast.

After a week apart, he realized just how much he missed her.

When Draven walked with his head down, he always gave off a cold, distant air. But the moment Ayla appeared, even he could feel that chill disappear.
