Divorce and Freedom: No More Homemaker for Him

Chapter 447 Couldn’t Stay Calm

Jed, on the other hand, had been comfortable for far too long. Now that Troy had begun to sideline him, Jed was the first to lose his composure.

Isabella was just waiting for him to make a mistake.

Workplace competition was that cruel. Isabella couldn’t let her guard down, or it would be a matter of life and death.

As soon as Draven found out that Troy had gone to see Ayla, he immediately halted the meeting and rushed

over.

The driver took the wheel.

Herman sat in the back with him.

Herman was Draven’s friend, and even he felt the atmosphere was unbearably oppressive. He couldn’t help but try to persuade him. “Draven, Troy wants to see Ayla Even if you stop him, he’ll always find loopholes. You can’t be this worried and anxious every single time, or you’ll end up tripping yourself.”

Draven’s expression looked perfectly normal.

But beneath that calm, unruffled face was worry, urgency, and a fear rooted deep in his he

His hands were clasped in front of him, his gaze inscrutable. The air around him was cool and restrained, heavy with authority.

Only after getting together with Ayla did Draven realize how deep his craving for emotional connection really was.

He wanted to stick close to Ayla all the time. He wanted her to never leave his sight.

He had read psychology books. Maybe this was a form of compensation for the lack of care he’d received in childhood.

He had never gotten what he wanted before, and Ayla was the exception. He was with Ayla now. He had gained a satisfaction he’d never known, and what came with it was fear. He was truly terrified of losing her.

If he’d never tasted even that bit of sweetness, maybe he wouldn’t have cared.

But once he had, the fear of losing it took over his body and mind.

So of course, he was anxious.

Draven trusted that Ayla wouldn’t turn back, but Troy was the kind of man who did whatever he wanted. Once he knew what he wanted, he’d say it outright.

Ayla wouldn’t always be under his watchful eye. Troy would definitely find opportunities to go after her.

Troy and Ayla had been together for a full three years. That was over a thousand days and nights of shared life. Just thinking about it made him feel suffocated.

Draven clenched his fist, his face giving nothing away. “Drive faster.”

Chapter 447 Couldn’t Stay Calm

Herman really couldn’t tell what Draven was thinking from his expression, but he still didn’t unac why he was so worried, so he kept persuading him. “Don’t forget how Ayla treated you after you came back. Everyone was afraid of you, but she wasn’t servile or intimidated. Troy has a lot of social ties. At least in Trensea, he has his restraints. He won’t go crazy like he did in Aqualith. Ayla knows Troy very well. She can definitely handle him. If she can’t, she’ll come to you for help. Just relax.”

Even Draven’s breathing grew heavier, though only slightly.

What he actually wanted was for Ayla to come to him.

“I’m not worried about her.”

Ayla was at work today. There were so many people on set, and Hannah was with her. Trouble wasn’t likely. Draven wasn’t worried about Ayla. He wasn’t confident in himself.

He urgently wanted to know what had happened between Ayla and Troy.

Herman had no more moves left and changed the subject. “Now that you and Ayla are officially together, Melody’s been asking me about you. To avoid stimulating her, I just told her you two are neighbors.”

Draven hummed in reply.

Ayla was focused on her career right now. Making their relationship public would be a huge distraction for her. You never know why people get close to you.

Aside from close friends, no one else knew he and Ayla were together.

It didn’t take long before they reached their destination

Draven was about to get out of the car.

Just then, Ayla walked out, with Hannah following behind her. Both of them looked perfectly normal.

Draven stopped his movement.

He stayed in the car and watched Ayla from afar.

The more he looked, the tighter his lips pressed together.

Ayla didn’t leave right away. She wanted to get some air outside.

Hannah stayed by her side, observing her reactions.

Ayla’s expression looked a little better now, so Hannah dared to ask, “Ms. Keaton, do you know Troy?”

Ayla already treated Hannah as one of her own. She didn’t plan to hide it. “He’s my ex–husband.”

During their brief conversation earlier, Hannah had done a quick background check on Troy. The more she dug, the more shocked she became. His background was far more powerful than she’d imagined.

He came from an old–money family in Trensea, with generations of steady rise. His grandfather’s generation had real estate businesses spread all over the country, then heavy industry. Now that Troy had
