Ayla walked alongside Martin as they strolled through the garden, talking as they went.

“Martin, there’s something I’ve wanted to ask you for a long time,” she said.

Martin looked surprised. “Go ahead.”

“When Troy agreed to marry me back then, did you force him?”

Martin glanced at Ayla, then looked forward again as he kept walking. “No. I didn’t force him.

I talked to him. He said he was willing; you two had discussed it and decided to keep the marriage quiet.”

Ayla fell silent.

“That boy has always been stubborn,” Martin continued. “He likes to go against people. I never expected him to be so cooperative about this. That surprised me. You like Troy, and he agreed to marry you. I thought your relationship was excellent. Over the past three years, I rarely interfered. At family gatherings, it always looked like you got along well.”

Then his tone shifted. “Has something gone wrong recently?”

Ayla saw wisdom and sharp insight in Martin’s eyes.

She didn’t answer right away. She kept walking, watching the fish swim in the pond. After a moment, she turned back to him. “Martin, no matter what decision we make, you’ll support us, right?”

Martin stopped walking.

Ayla stopped too.

He studied her carefully. Ayla met his gaze without fear.

In the end, Martin understood everything. He say the change in her today. He sighed once, then accepted it all. It was as if nothing had happened. He was still firm, yet gentle. “Of course,” he said.

With that answer, Ayla finally felt at ease.

Today was Martin’s birthday, She cared about his feelings, but she would not keep pretending with Troy anymore. The whole family was here

it up.

That was why she came to speak with Martin early.

was a good chance. She didn’t want to give

If she hadn’t, it would have hurt him even more.

No matter what, this would still hurt. Even if Martin tried to persuade them, it would change nothing.

Ayla didn’t ask if he would blame her.

The pressure should be Troy’s to bear.

Besides, she had learned something unexpected. She had always believed the marriage was forced, and that was why Troy treated her coldly but it turned out he had married her willingly.

Ayla clenched her hand, pushing down her thoughts, and continued walking with Martin for

a while.

Martin mostly asked about her plans for the future. He never mentioned the word “divorce.”

Ayla briefly talked about her current situation.

Then her phone rang. It was Troy.

Ayla hung up.

“Martin, I won’t be coming to the lunch banquet Ayla said softly. “I’ll come later this evening. If Troy asks, just tell him I went to check on my grandmother and couldn’t leave right away.”

Martin already knew they had separated. There was no need to make their remarriage public, so he agreed.

Ayla wished Martin a happy birthday again, then turned and left.

It wasn’t until she reached the front yard that she took out her phone.

In just a few minutes, Troy had called several times in a row.

She finally answered.

This time, Troy didn’t speak right away.

Ayla broke the silence. “What’s wrong?”

“Where are you? I’ll come pick you up,” Troy said through the phone.

Ayla smiled. “I’m already here. Just come straight here. No need to get me.”

“You’re not lying to me?” Troy asked.

Lincoln happened to be nearby, so Ayla asked him to say a few words to Troy. Only then did Troy finally believe it.

At the same time, his heart skipped a beat.

Ayla had gone to the estate early. That alone showed her choice.

She had accepted getting back together.

The heavy mood that had followed Troy all day suddenly lifted. He was even a little excited. His voice softened. “Alright. Then wait for me there.”

Before he could finish, Ayla had hung up the call

Ayla looked at the disconnected screen and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Then, she smiled and waved at the clueless Lincoln as if nothing had happened. She opened the car door, got in, and hit the gas. Even on the winding mountain road, she didn’t slow down.

She left without hesitation, stirring up a gust of wind behind her.

Ayla didn’t want to attend the lunch with Troy.

The lunch was held to celebrate Martin’s birthday. Family and friends had gathered to enjoy the day together.

If Ayla went with Troy, he would surely introduce them as husband and wife. Ayla could deny it on the spot, but that would shift all the attention away from Martin’s celebration and onto her. That wouldn’t be right.

Swinging by at night was different. By then, only family would remain. That would be the right time to talk things through.

Ayla wouldn’t stay. She wasn’t about to put herself in an awkward position.

She drove away from the estate at full speed and went to visit Lillian. She checked in with the nurse on duty. Juliet really hadn’t brought Skyla over again.

Ayla didn’t interact much with Skyla, but Skyla’s proud attitude was a lot like Troy’s.

How sincere could she really be toward Juliet?

Juliet cared for Skyla with all her heart. No one knew how that would end.

With some spare time on her hands, Ayla suddenly thought about calling Juliet. But after thinking it over, she realized she didn’t have any hing to say.
