Troy pushed her at the waist and stepped back. His face remained tense. His voice was flat and distant. “Get some rest.”

He stood up and walked away without looking back.

Skyla sat where he had been sitting and frowned as she watched his back disappear. From the moment he arrived, his mood had been bad, very bad. The things he said were strange too. What’s

wrong with him?

But since he wouldn’t say anything, she didn’t dare to ask.

At least he had given her a promise. At least she was still the most special person by his side. That was enough.

Westhaven.

Kayla didn’t live in Trensea, but she owned many properties.

As soon as Ayla got out of the car, Draven walked around the front and reached for her hand. He held it firmly. His pleasant, familiar scent filled her senses. Ayla felt calm right away. He was reliable. She only needed to follow him inside and get through this visit.

Draven knocked on the door. A tall man opened it. He had a cold presence and a hard expression. From his strong build, Ayla guessed he was Kayla’s bodyguard.

After opening the door, the man stepped aside without a word and disappeared from sight.

Ayla walked in with Draven. The villa was brightly lit. The décor had an old-money style- quiet, tasteful, and focused on quality. It felt rich without being flashy, elegant without trying

too hard.

Kayla and Elizabeth were busy arranging something. When they saw them arrive, Kayla stopped.

Ayla greeted them along with Draven.

It was only their second meeting, but Kayla walked over right away and took Ayla by the hand, leading her to the couch.

“This is your first time visiting my home,” Kayla said warmly. “I prepared a small gift for you. See if you like it.”

Ayla lowered her eyes and nearly got blinded.

Gold bars. One after another. Stacked so high they looked like a small hill. And that wasn’t all. Elizabeth opened another box. It was also filled with gold bars.

Kayla smiled. “All of this is for you. We laid it out to surprise you. I’ll have it packed up later. Draven can carry it back for you.”

Avla fell silent.

Carmen had never treated her kindly.

Kayla stood on the same side as Carmen. She didn’t particularly like Ayla, but her attitude was completely different.

Ayla honestly didn’t know how to react.

“Ms. Kayla,” Ayla said carefully, “you already gave me a gift last time. There’s no need to give

me more.

“It’s not the same,” Kayla replied. “You came to visit me at my home today. How could I not prepare something for you?”

To Kayla, this was just pocket money. She was used to giving it away. It also saved her the trouble of guessing what a young woman might like.

And she truly valued Ayla. Didn’t Draven think she was being incredibly thoughtful as a mother?

Ayla looked at Draven with a helpless expression Draven stepped forward and moved between the two women, gently squeezing Kayla aside.

Kayla was speechless.

Fine. She wouldn’t argue with him. Her son had finally asked her for something for once. No matter what, she had to grant his wish.

Kayla picked up a velvet jewelry box from nearby. “Here, Ayla. This is for you. I bought you an emerald bracelet made from top-grade trapiche.”

Ayla saw the bracelet at once. The emeralds were almost transparent, glowing softly under the light. She knew gemstones well. Even to the baked eye, the clarity and texture were clearly top-tier-about as good as it got.

“You already have gold,” Kayla said lightly, “so you need some emerald to balance it out.” Before Ayla could react, Kayla grabbed her wrist and fastened the bracelet on her. She

admired it with satisfaction. “Fair skin and fine bone structure. It looks beautiful on you,” Kayla said. “I didn’t have enough time to prepare properly. Next time, I’ll get you something even better. More pure. More refined.”

Ayla honestly felt Kayla was being too nice.

Kayla sighed. “Things were rushed. Otherwise, I would’ve bought you a house and a car to go with it. If you’re with my unlucky son, I can’t let you lose out.”

Ayla didn’t know what to say.

Last time they met, Kayla had been cool and distant. This time, she had completely dropped her guard.

Kayla clearly minded Ayla’s past with Troy. How could she be this warm and generous now?

Before Ayla could think it through, Kayla had already ushered her and Draven into the side lounge.

Food and drinks had been prepared in advance by the staff.

Ayla sat down with Draven.

Kayla quietly observed them. No matter how she looked at it, the two of them seemed innocent and restrained. There was nothing improper at all.

The way Draven dated? It could only mean one thing: he hadn’t won Ayla’s heart yet.

Useless. He wasted such a good-looking face. He was unable to charm a girl as effectively as his father could.

Maybe she had knocked some sense into him earlier today, and that finally made him

nervous.

No matter. Her clueless son had finally asked her for help.

Kayla had only one mission. She needed to keep this young couple here.

Once two young people shared a room and slept in the same bed, she refused to believe nothing would happen. A mature man and woman were bound to cross the line.

Kayla had been young once. At the very least, Diven needed to truly experience intimacy between a man and a woman. The sweetness of Being in love. Once he tasted that, he’d know romance could be enjoyable. Even if they broke up one day, at least he had experienced sex and wouldn’t stay single for life.

Of course, while they were together, Kayla would treat Ayla perfectly, at least in front of him.

That way, her future daughter-in-law wouldn’t feel jealous. And it would stop anyone who knew the situation from using Ayla to cause trouble for her real future daughter-in-law later. Kayla was very fond of his future daughter-in-law. She wouldn’t allow her to suffer even the slightest grievance.
