Draven knew that Ayla was delicate and perceptive, yet when it came to his thoughts, she could not sense even a fraction of them.
Was he too straightforward, or had Ayla never considered that he, too, might have ulterior motives?
That “honey” Troy had just called out had sent his emotions into turmoil. Troy was always calm and steady, yet in that moment, his mind was in chaos, wanting to do something improper. He admitted that deep down, he was suppressing something as well…
But Ayla had met Troy without telling him.
Troy was always the most special one to Ayla.
He had already fallen behind; no matter what he did, he could never compare to Troy.
Every time Draven felt jealous, his desire to possess Ayla grew by another degree. He needed to control himself with all his might, not to scare Ayla, because he was even more afraid that he might hurt her, and he was unable to bear making her sad.
He only wanted to get along with her in a way that made Ayla feel comfortable.
Draven fell silent for two seconds, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, then pulled the camera farther away.
“I’m at the airport, picking up my mother.”
Ayla watched as the camera moved. Draven had broad shoulders; even after the camera pulled back, his shoulders still were not fully shown on the screen.
But Ayla saw the seats behind him. He was indeed at the airport-only then did she react to what he had said, her heart suddenly skipping a beat.
Draven’s mother was finally coming!
Ayla had previously asked Draven for photos of Kayla, but he did not have any on hand.
Kayla had also said she wanted to come to Trensa in advance and stay with Draven for a while, to cultivate their mother-and-son relationship.
Draven had refused without a second thought, saying he was staying at his girlfriend’s place. In the end, Kayla did not come, only arriving in rensea close to Martin’s birthday.
Seeing all of this clearly, Ayla understood that the relationship between Draven and Kayla

was probably just average. Still, since Draven was personally going to the airport to pick her up, it was not to the point of complete estrangement. At the very least, Draven did value Kayla and gave her sufficient respect.
Because of that, when it came to putting on an act in front of Kayla, Ayla did not know how to grasp the right balance.
“Should I come over?” Ayla felt a little uneasy.
“For now, no,” Draven said. “I’ll explain things to her personally. If she wants to see you, we’ll see whether you have time. I won’t force you, and I won’t put pressure on you.”
Draven thought of Troy. Wanting to show something by comparison, he could not help adding another sentence, “I treat you as my girlfriend. I will definitely take care of your emotions. I am not ignoring your emotions by picking her up quickly to get things over with.”
Ayla was taken aback by the seriousness in Draven’s eyes.
His respect and thoughtfulness toward her were the complete opposite of Troy’s.
Even when they were only pretending to be a couple, Draven could go this far. Not to mention his real girlfriend in the future-she would surely receive even more attentive and meticulous care from him.
So really, the emotional value Ayla got from being friends with Draven was far greater than what she got from being married to Troy.
When Ayla had agreed to pretend to be in a relationship with him back then, perhaps it was not because of all the external factors, but simply because he was a good person. Because she knew he was good, and being with him carried no pressure. Even pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend came with minimal worries.
But at that moment, Ayla’s gaze deepened.
She had already sensed that Draven was getting too immersed in the act…
Ayla could take Draven’s care for her as proof that he was a good person, but this kind of goodness felt a bit excessive.
Or rather, in the past, Ayla had compared Draven’s kindness toward her with how he treated James and others.
She had not felt much difference.
That was until she personally witnessed Draven’s cold attitude toward Melody.

And that day, they had also gone to the outskirts to pick up Casey.

Draven being willing to personally accompany her on that trip could be explained as him being kind, but his inexplicable hostility toward Casey made no sense.
Of course, he was hostile toward Troy as well, but that could be explained by their long- standing rivalry since childhood.
But what could Casey have done?
There was absolutely no threat there, so where did the hostility come from?
It was only then that Ayla began to sense something was off.
At the time, she did not ask much or say much, always feeling that if things were laid bare, they would spiral out of control.
Now, through the camera, Ayla once again saw extremely serious emotions in Draven’s eyes…
Perhaps with the screen between them, he simply had not concealed himself very well.
Ayla did not want to expose it, so she pretended not to see anything and spoke as if nothing were different from usual. “Mr. Storm, you don’t need to think too much about me. Since we’re partners, I should also shoulder the responsibilities I’m supposed to bear. You can use me however you want. Maybe if you use me a few more times, I’ll become more familiar with acting as your girlfriend.” She added, “In front of your mother.”
“Okay.”
Ayla knew he would agree. But without waiting for any further instructions from him, after a few seconds of silence, she asked, “Then shall we hang up?”
He suddenly followed up, “What did Troy want you for?”
Ayla froze. In the past, she could regard Draven’s wariness toward Troy as merely a feud between the two of them. Now, however, she had to reconsider his motives.
