Before, she hadn’t put too much thought to it. Their boundaries were clear when they interacted. If Ayla could handle Troy’s matters on her own, there was no need to trouble Draven.

But now Ayla sensed that his concern carried deeper implications. If she did not explain it clearly, wouldn’t that just make Draven feel uncomfortable?

From the bottom of her heart, Ayla did not want Draven to be unhappy.

“He contacted me to discuss attending Martin’s birthday. He didn’t go crazy like last time, so it wasn’t a big deal, and I didn’t tell you.”

She hid the fact that Troy wanted to reconcile with her.

Three days later, she would publicly announce the truth of their divorce in front of Martin, Troy’s parents, his younger sister, and the Winston family’s relatives and friends. She might as well lay everything out all at once.

Troy cared so much about his pride that he definitely would not be able to bear it. With everyone knowing, wouldn’t that be telling his entire family that he regretted it if he still wanted to win her back? His pride would absolutely not allow that. After all, he had already caved once, so there was no way there would be a second time.

Besides, the last time he caved, it was only in front of her. Troy’s friends had no idea what he had done, so he had lost no face at all.

However, in the future, it would be in full view of everyone. Troy definitely would not be able to do it.

Draven said, “Next time he wants to see you, call me in advance.”

Ayla did not speak.

Then she heard him say, “I’ll worry about you.”

Ayla clearly felt his undisguised concern. She only smiled slightly. “Okay.”

Just as she finished replying, the video call ended without any warning.

Ayla thought to herself, Did he see Kayla? If so, he probably did not have time to deal with me right

now.

She had just locked her phone when she received messages from him.

“She’s here.

“I’ll come pick you up later.”

Ayla’s fingertips lightly brushed over the two messages. The chat background image was a photo of Draven she had taken for him at the supermarket.

Draven’s checking in, his explanations…

It was all so that she would not overthink things.

In a daze, Ayla realized that she seemed to really be dating Draven.

Her gaze darkened for a moment, then she locked her phone.

The airport.

Passengers coming and going, voices noisy and chaotic.

After sending the messages to Ayla, Draven slowly raised his head and looked into the distance, watching Kayla walk toward him.

Kayla wore sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, her short hair neat and tidy. She was dressed in a black trench coat and white sneakers suitable for walking. An air of commanding authority surrounded her. Her trusted assistant of many years, Elizabeth Cox, followed unhurriedly behind her.

Behind the two of them was also a tall, lean bodyguard, keeping a measured distance.

When Draven looked over, he knew Kayla had seen him too.

But his expression remained indifferent, as if he were looking at a casual acquaintance.

Speaking of which, he and Kayla had not seen each other for nearly five years.

Yet, Draven did not feel any particular regret about it.

The first time he remembered seeing Kayla was when he was three years old.

She came to see him during a break from work. Draven had been told in advance that a person called “Mom” was coming to see him.

From observing other children, he understood that a mother was the most important person

one could rely on completely, so he felt both expectant and nervous.

When he actually saw Kayla, Draven was first stunned by the woman’s excessive beauty- almost dazzling. He thought that his mother was prettier and taller than other women. He was so intimidated that he did not dare speak, timidly walking up to her. After stammering for a long time, he finally asked, “Who are you?”

Kayla squatted down then, looking him up and down for a moment. That scrutinizing gaze was terrifying to three-year-old Draven.

He wanted to run, but she pinched his cheek and said something that he still remembered to this day, “Is this my son? Why is he so stupid? He can’t even call me ‘Mom.”

Her tone was both surprised and disdainful, making him feel utterly humiliated at the time.

Kayla had to take care of something that evening and did not stay long before leaving.

Their first meeting as mother and son lasted less than an hour.

Later, many terrible things happened. When he was seven, he returned with Kayla to Zheron, where he encountered many people who were barely any better than beasts. Only by comparison did he realize that Troy’s petty antics were actually rather cute.

Life growing up in Zheron quickly broadened Draven’s horizons, and he also came to realize that Kayla was a woman who had no idea how to take care of children, nor did she know how to be a mother at all…

So their mother-and-son relationship had always been tense.

It was only after Draven grew up, or perhaps after Kayla grew older. Of course, the Kayla Draven knew had never thought of herself as old.

In any case, for some reason, Kayla now wanted to repair their relationship. She began to care about his work, his life, and his marriage, finally showing a little bit of what a mother should be like.

Although Draven found it extremely ridiculous, he still cooperated with her casually and without much thought.
