The message was sent. Ayla could take it back-and she almost did, but Draven had definitely seen it. She stared at her phone, frozen. Her nerves kicked in. Even her breathing grew shallow as she waited for his reply.

It came fast.

After barely a second of pause.

“Okay.

“I’ll stay with you.”

The moment she read it, the tension left her body. She had a feeling he would say yes. The nerves were probably because it was the first time she had asked him for something like this.

“All right.”

Ayla felt a little awkward. After all, she was asking for his time. She couldn’t reply that stiffly. So, she snapped a photo of what she had eaten for lunch and sent it to him.

Draven replied quickly with a photo of his lunch at the party.

The table was packed with expensive dishes.

Back when Ayla was quietly married, she never stood out at events like this. She only knew that anyone connected to the Winstons was either rich or powerful. Luxury cars filled the parking lot. Wealthy wife and socialites were everywhere. All Ayla ever felt was out of place.

So skipping the party today didn’t bother her at all.

Kayla noticed Draven suddenly taking a photo. She glanced sideways, curious.

Draven was holding his phone under the table. When he sensed her movement, he actually tried to hide it.

Kayla had no words.

She still hadn’t seen Ayla, who probably wasn’t coming.

So this was what it was, a young couple chatting back and forth, unable to part.

Kayla actually supported dating. These days, if you don’t date a few times, you don’t even

know how to get along with the opposite sex. She wanted Draven to gain some experience. Marriage, though? That could wait.

From what she could see, those two were getting along well. Nothing intense yet. Calm. Clean. Almost too proper.

But the more invested Draven seemed, the more curious Kayla became about Ayla.

After all, that was her son. Any mother would notice who her child cared about.

Kayla had planned to meet Ayla once and leave at that. Now, she suddenly wanted to visit their place.

It wouldn’t hurt to understand her son better.

If she wanted to improve their relationship, she had to start with knowing him.

After Draven finished chatting with Ayla, he looked up and realized Kayla was staring at him.

He turned around and met her gaze. Cold. Guarded.

Kayla was wordless.

If this weren’t a public event, she would have smacked him on the head.

What kind of look was that? Was he guarding against her like she was a thief?

The party was about to start, but Troy was still outside.

Max came to look for him. When he stepped into the garden, he saw Troy staring at his phone with a dark expression.

The moment Max got closer, he noticed the wedding band on Troy’s ring finger. In the past, Troy only wore it when Martin was around.

Now they were divorced, yet he was still wearing it.

It was almost ironic.

Max walked over. “Troy, what are you standing around for? Go inside. Don’t leave your dad to handle everything alone.”

Troy tightened his grip on his phone. “I know.”

But he still didn’t leave.

“Come on. Let’s go in,” Max said. He knew Troy too well. Other people might not notice anything, but Max could tell what was going on,

Even Max couldn’t tell when Troy had started to care so much about Ayla.

Still, Ayla not showing up today felt like a good sign.

Max was more than happy with that. If Troy tried to go find her now, Max would definitely stop him.

Smiling, Max stepped forward and pushed Troy toward the building.

After receiving Ayla’s message, Troy was certain that she would come later that night. He was less worried than before, though her absence still made him uneasy,

Even so, in a setting like this, he couldn’t ignore everyone and leave the

party.

His pride would not allow it.

Once inside, the hall was packed. Troy and Max stood out wherever they went. People kept looking at them.

Everyone had heard that Troy was married, but no one knew who his wife was.

And today, she was nowhere to be seen.

At Troy and Max’s table, there were two empty seats left.

One of them was right next to Skyla.

As Troy walked closer, he noticed the necklace and bracelet he had given her. She was even wearing the matching couple rings. He paused for a split second, then looked away as if he had seen nothing. Still, his mood grew worse.

The seat beside Skyla was clearly meant for him

Troy pushed Max into that spot instead.

With Max between them, Troy sat down.

Skyla clenched her fingers.

Her mood had been bad since that morning when Troy refused to pick her up.

Her plan had been simple. She would arrive at the party with him, side by side, and let others. guess their relationship.

She never got the chance.

And now, he actually put someone between them on purpose.

What is Troy trying to do?

Why is he suddenly treating me like this?

Why can’t he act the same way he did at charity dinners?

Skyla was furious. Her anger burned hot. She had already been annoyed by Zane before coming here, hoping tonight would make her feel better. Instead, everything was turning out far worse than she had imagined.
