If someone couldn’t even make decisions about heir own life, they weren’t worth Ayla’s affection.

Of course, all of this was just a hypothetical. Since Draven could openly push back against Kayla in front of her, his choices clearly wouldn be swayed by anyone else.

After all, that was precisely why Ayla had agreed to work with him in the first place. It was because Draven was genuinely a good person.

That said, Ayla had to admit that when she heard Kayla say those words, her heart really did skip for a moment.

There was a faint trace of sadness.

Perhaps it was because, during dinner, Kayla’s words were filled with the kind of care only elders give.

It was something Ayla hadn’t felt in a long, long time.

It made her think of Juliana. If she were still alive, and if Ayla were in love, she would surely care for her the same way Kayla did, and she would probably be just as picky about Draven.

So when she heard Kayla’s private remarks, Ayla felt sad for a brief moment.

That sadness had nothing to do with Kayla.

She simply missed her mother.

“Let’s go,” Ayla said.

Draven could hear it and see it clearly. Ayla’s goodness would only make him a better person.

He reflected on himself as quickly as he could,

Perhaps because of Kayla, he had been a little too anxious.

He hadn’t been steady enough, which was why Ala ended up worrying and comforting him

instead.

From now on, he would be calmer, just as Ayla had said-standing firm like a huge mountain, unmoving.

If Draven wanted to be with her, he wouldn’t let her have any doubts at all.

He returned to his usual self: calm and powerful restrained and steady. As for Kayla, he would stand in front and deal with it himself.

“Alright, let’s go home,” Draven said, taking Ayla hand without giving her a chance to refuse.

Ayla’s gaze deepened slightly, but she didn’t pull away.

She still liked the feeling of palm against palm.

This scene was seen by Max, who was sitting on the second floor.

It wasn’t a coincidence-it was intentional.

Max had heard that Ayla had started her own company. He wanted to find her, but when he arrived downstairs at her office building, he saw her get into Draven’s car and then come here for dinner.

Max had never met Draven’s mother, but the resemblance in their brows and eyes made it obvious who she was.

He was deeply shocked.

Why was this happening?

Was she meeting Draven’s parents?

Sitting in a private room upstairs, Max watched the two of them leave hand in hand. There was no smile in his eyes-only coldness and self-mockery.

What kind of relationship they had was painfully obvious.

Troy was still lying to himself.

Tomorrow was Martin’s birthday, and Ayla would be there too.

At first, Max had planned to stir things up at the birthday banquet, strip Troy of any right to be with Ayla, and then come clean with Troy-ending their brotherhood.

Now, he was hoping Troy and Draven would get into a fight.

Max was also curious. What would Ayla do tomorrow? Would she still be the same woman she used to be the one who only loved Troy, never wanted attention, quietly stayed in a corner, and let others mock her at will?

Max had no clue, but he was unbearably curious

If Ayla did something different from her usual self, Max had no doubt he would fall madly in love with her all over again.

But the moment he thought of Draven, he lost his appetite entirely.

A whole table of exquisite dishes went untouched.

Max called the waitress over. He usually looked at women with gentle eyes, but now he had no such mood.

Those cheerful eyes were utterly cold at this moment. “Check, please.”

After getting off work, Skyla returned home.

This was the apartment Troy had bought for her and it was spacious and luxurious.

She had thought that after moving in, Troy would come by often. And since he was divorced, staying overnight would have been perfectly possible.

With Troy’s appreciation of her, they should have ended up together very soon.

But reality was worlds apart from what she had imagined.

Aside from the day the apartment was purchased, Troy never came again.

In other words, after the divorce, Troy’s contact with her suddenly cooled off.

Skyla didn’t know what had gone wrong. Troy had even brought her gifts from this overseas trip, and after returning, they had still attended gatherings together.

But something was different.

Skyla had originally planned to attend Martin’s birthday banquet with Troy. He had even mentioned it early on.

If that were the case, Troy should have already taken her to buy dresses and jewelry, just like he did before at the Saffrons’ charity gala.

But Troy hadn’t contacted her at all.

Skyla was furious. Where exactly had things gone wrong?

Surely Troy couldn’t still be hung up on Ayla?

She had also heard that Ayla had started an entertainment company, throwing together a ragtag bunch. What could come of that? It was just the entertainment industry, so how could it compare to high-tech fields?

Ayla had been nothing more than a secretary before; she probably didn’t even understand how the entertainment world really worked.

Besides, they had the same major. Leaving secretarial work to switch industries could only mean Ayla wasn’t competent professionally.

What use could that be?

Troy’s judgment couldn’t possibly be that bad.

Still, Skyla planned to attend the old man’s birthday banquet tomorrow, in the capacity of Troy’s friend.

And of course, she was secretly hoping-just like at the charity gala-that people would mistake her for Troy’s partner. She thoroughly enjoyed being looked at with envy.
