Chapter 439 Not Alone Tonight

Ayla understood. “Okay.”

Draven looked at her.

Ayla said, “Get some rest.”

She still didn’t dare say it out loud.

Finished

After Draven left, Ayla turned off the lights and lay quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling. The curtains were drawn tight. The room was dim, and in the blur, she could make out the shape of the light fixture.

When Ayla was little, she was a bit afraid of thunder. One time, Juliana wasn’t home, and Phil, who was always busy with work, happened to be staying in Trensea.

Ayla hugged her pillow, trembling as she went to look for her dad. Phil was holding up his phone, busy as always. That was the scene Ayla saw most often. Phil rarely gave attention to her and Kaleb. Work always came before family and children.

Ayla walked up to him and said, “Dad, I’m scared.” But Phil just patted her face and told her to go back to bed, because he was busy.

Little Ayla was very well–behaved. She lay alone in bed, shaking with fear, silently crying.

Later, she stopped being afraid of thunder. Even now, she wasn’t afraid.

Everyone needs companionship and care. Most of the time, Ayla carried everything on her own. Tonight, that old bastard, Phil, made her feel awful, leaving a knot in her chest.

She wasn’t the same as before anymore. She definitely wasn’t that little girl. She didn’t need anyone to stay with her.

Bringing such a small matter up to Draven will just make me seem dramatic, right?

Ayla’s thoughts were in a mess, and she was truly tired. She slowly closed her eyes.

Even the most rational person probably couldn’t control their thoughts. The more she tried not to think, the more she did. Moments of disappointment in her father from the past suddenly magnified, and a tear slid from the corner of her eye.

Ayla opened her eyes and wiped it away without expression.

Just one or two tears. Ayla didn’t think this counted as crying. Her emotions were simply too complicated, and her body let out a small, uncontrollable release.

She took a few slow breaths, and the emotions gradually settled. Now, she was really sleepy, and she closed her eyes.

Five minutes later, Ayla suddenly opened them, threw off the blanket, and got out of bed.

No, I don’t wanna be alone!

I want Draven with me!

But just as she pulled the door open, Draven was right there.

His hand was suspended in midair over the doorknob.

Is he coming to find me too?

With a click, the light turned on.

Ayla stared at the man for a moment, then rushed forward and hugged his waist, pressing her face against

his chest.

The man’s warm body heat soothed her. The emptiness in her body and heart was suddenly filled.

She said softly, “Were you coming to sleep with me?”

Draven’s warm palm rubbed her back. “Yeah. I wanted to be with you.”

“You noticed my mood…”

“Even if I hadn’t, I still wanted to stay with you tonight.”

Ayla’s heart raced.

He knew.

The man asked, “You thought it through, so you came to find me?”

“Yeah.” Her voice was muffled.

“I’m your boyfriend. You should make use of me properly. It’s not just kissing me or touching me. You can ask me for all kinds of things. That’s your right.”

Ayla felt her heart ache and sweeten at the same time.

“Aren’t you gonna ask what happened to me?”

“If you want to tell me, you will. Right now, I’m here. That’s probably what you need most.”

Ayla hugged him tighter, wishing she could cling to him completely. “Why are you so good to me?”

Draven said, “Being good to you is instinct.”

“If we sleep together later and I touch you, will you react?”

“Even if it’s uncomfortable, I still want to hold you. That’s instinct too.”

Ayla closed her eyes and listened to his heartbeat.

Draven rested his chin on the top of her head. “I’m physically attracted to you, but compared to how I feel about you, that’s nothing. You can do whatever you want to me, and I’m actually really looking forward to

it.”

Chapter 439 Not Alone Tonight

Ayla pressed her cheek closer and hummed softly.

During the week before visiting Casey on set. Ayla was busy working in the ZeitTech lab.

A week passed, and it was time to visit the set.

Casey was playing the male lead’s guard. The role was small, but Hannah knew the director of this production

Hannah had a large pool of resources, and Ayla would keep expanding her network together with her.

James also helped out. He had connections everywhere, especially among the elite. When Ayla mentioned it, there was no way he wouldn’t help.

Centurion Entertainment would also cultivate its own team of directors and screenwriters, producing low- budget but high–quality scripts, and building relationships with long–form video platforms, directors, and production teams.

For an entertainment company to elevate talent, it needed a lot of resources. Either the company had the ability to produce shows, or it had top–tier variety show teams.

With these “weapons,” they could continuously push actors into the market and promote newcomers from within the company.

Casey would never lack roles in the future. They would even tailor a role specifically suited to his looks and temperament.

For an actor to become popular, strong backing was essential, along with some luck and audience appeal. The factors were complex, and the early investment was huge, but Ayla and Hannah knew exactly what they were doing
