Chapter 351 Birthday Banquet

How else could it be explained?

Troy’s mood sank even further.

He desperately wanted an outlet.

In the past, he always vented it on Ayla. Ayla would always tolerate him, always indulge him… Troy truly began to miss the way Ayla used to obey him in everything.

But now, he could no longer treat Ayla the way he had before.

Tomorrow was Martin’s birthday!

Troy had to endure this night. If he forced Ayla away at the last minute, he had no idea how he would explain it to Martin.

Especially on Martina’s birthday, in front of so many guests, and his parents as well…

Troy had to hold it in.

Once Ayla came back, he should be able to treat her a little better, then continue living like before. Only then would he feel calm and at ease.

Thinking back on every little detail of the past, Troy was certain that Ayla loved him. So as long as he caved, Ayla would definitely come back.

He just had to wait until tomorrow!

The next day, it was Martin’s birthday.

Ayla woke up early. She washed her hair, took a shower, dried it, and went into the walk-in closet without putting anything on.

Her hand brushed over the neatly hung clothes, finally stopping on a crisp white suit. It was sleeveless, with matching shorts made of the same fabric.

The cut was excellent. It looked sharp and capable when worn, simple yet elegant.

Ayla chose this set.

When she left the company yesterday, she had glanced at the clothes Troy gave her. It was a soft pink dress, gentle in style, demure and harmless.

She did not like it at all.

Of course, both the gift and the dress were still the company. She had not brought them back.

After deciding, Ayla changed into the outfit without hesitation.

She tied her hair back and put on a pair of silver stud earrings. Silver suited her temperament perfectly-cool, sharp, distant. Gentleness had never suited her.

Ayla put on some light makeup.

The gift was the porcelain dinnerware she had bought, and it was placed in the living room.

Ayla chose a matching bag and walked out of her room, running into Draven at the same time.

Draven was still wearing loungewear. Seeing that Ayla was already ready, he paused for a moment. “You’re leaving already?”

“Yes, I’ll go over first.” Ayla obviously could not attend Martin’s birthday banquet together with Draven. “I still have things to handle with Troy.”

Ayla knew that Draven had long understood her determination to divorce, so she did not explain further. After briefly talking about breakfast, the two of them went to the living

room.

Ayla picked up the gift meant for Martin, said goodbye to Draven, and walked out.

This year, Martin turned seventy-three. It was not a milestone birthday, so there was no grand celebration, but quite a number of close relatives and friends would still attend.

Martin preferred peace and quiet, so the birthday banquet was held at a mountain resort not far from the estate. It was a vacation hotel surrounded by mountains and water, with beautiful scenery-one could hike, fish, eat, relay, and spend the whole day there.

Martin himself was at the estate.

Ayla had already called him in advance, saying she would come early.

It was only seven o’clock now. Even if Ayla drove over, it would be around eight when she arrived.

Ayla carried the gift and walked in.

Lincoln was already waiting there.

Ayla handed the gift to Lincoln and asked where Martin was.

“He is exercising in the back hills,” Lincoln said.

“Alright, I’ll go see him.” Ayla smiled at Lincoln, then turned and walked toward the back hills.

Lincoln watched Ayla’s retreating figure, feeling surprised and a little astonished. The last time they met was at the airport, only a month or two ago. In such a short time, why did Ayla feel different to him?

He could not have mistaken her.

After thinking it over, Bill Drage understood. Her presence was different. In the past. Ayla had been restrained. Now she was open and natural, and even her clothes were sharper and more capable. She now looked increasingly poised, carrying the presence of the Winston matriarch.

Had the couple made up?

Most likely. Martin had said that today he would announce their secret marriage in front of relatives and friends. So, naturally, Ayla would present a different aura.

But why had Ayla come early alone? Where was Troy?

No matter what, seeing Ayla doing better and better made Lincoln genuinely happy for her.

The back hills of the estate were extremely quiet and serene.

After circling past the courtyard, Ayla saw Martin exercising in workout clothes.

Even on his birthday, his disciplined routine never wavered.

Martin noticed her, but Ayla did not interrupt.

Only after Martin finished did Ayla pick up the water bottle on the stone table and walk over.

Martin took the bottle Ayla handed him and took a sip. Ayla was about to take it back, but he held onto it himself. “I’m not old enough for that yet.” After speaking, he asked kindly, “Why did you come so early?”

“It is better to come earlier to wish you a happy birthday,” Ayla said.

“By yourself?”

“Yes, just me.” Ayla replied, “There are some things I want to talk to you about alone.”

The backyard was a beautifully landscaped garden, covering an area nearly half the size of a
