Divorce and Freedom No More Homemaker for Him novel Chapter 536

Chapter 536 The Winner at the End

That only made their side feel even quieter and more empty.

Isabella had seen how crazy Troy once went because of Ayla. She didn’t even want to imagine how he would react now. Her whole body stayed tense, like she was waiting for danger to strike at any second.

Luckily, Isabella had believed from the start that Ayla would never turn back. She worried about Troy losing control, so she suggested bringing Max along. Max was Troy’s best friend; he knew almost everything. Troy agreed.

Isabella quietly moved closer to Max, nervously enduring the moment.

Honestly, there was no need to confront Ayla face–to–face. The answer was painfully clear.

Max held another pair of binoculars and watched everything from afar. His eyes stayed fixed on Ayla’s face. Then he froze.

Haha! Who would have thought Draven would be the final winner?

But what shocked Max more was this–the light Ayla once had in her eyes when she looked at Troy was now shining for another man. Max had always liked that look in Ayla’s eyes. But now that he saw it again, he sucked in a sharp breath. It was no longer an admiration. It felt like sharp pain stabbing straight into hi heart.

Max fell silent for a while. Then he looked at Troy, who hadn’t moved at all. “Troy, maybe we should leave. There’s nothing to see here.”

Divorce meant separation. The law had cut their connection clean.

Relationships between people were fragile. When you were married, you could share a bed. After divorce, you became strangers. You didn’t even need to say a single word to each other anymore.

But people were also strange. Even without a marriage certificate, two people could still be deeply connected.

Just like Ayla and Draven now. Even from far away, anyone could see their relationship was real. No formal titles or labels were needed. Nothing could easily pull them apart.

Max had once waited for Troy and Ayla to divorce. Now he felt like a clown.

If he had known things would end like this, he should have made his move earlier. Why did he try so hard to be a gentleman? Why worry about whether Ayla would reject him?

Even if she had rejected him, at least he would have tried.

The result would still be the same as now.

No, he ended up even more miserable. He could only watch Ayla be happy with another man.

He didn’t even leave a mark in his world.

Chapter 536 The Winner at the End

Finished

Max had never even had anything romantic happen with Ayla, yet he already regretted it this much. Troy had been Ayla’s husband. They had been married for three years. His heart must be in complete chaos right now.

Before the divorce, Max never thought Troy cared about Ayla.

But now Troy had chased all the way here.

No matter how cold Troy acted, no matter how much he pretended to look down on Ayla, there was only

one answer.

Love.

What else could it be?

The Troy he knew was proud and distant. Now he was like a pitiful man secretly watching Ayla’s happiness. If he didn’t love her, why would he put himself in such an awkward position? Why waste so much time on her?

Max wanted to comfort him.

But after he spoke, Troy didn’t react at all.

It was like time had frozen around him.

Max glanced back at Isabella.

Her face was tight. She looked extremely focused.

Ah. Max understood. She must have seen Troy lose control over Ayla before. That’s why she was so

nervous.

Max had never seen it himself.

Seriously, he loved her this much and still wouldn’t admit it?

Before coming here, Troy had acted like he didn’t care at all.

Yeah, life had taught him a hard lesson.

Max felt a tiny bit of dark satisfaction at that. But he had known Troy since they were kids. They grew up together. He understood why Troy was like this, and it made him sigh.

It was simple. Troy never knew what love really was. He never learned how to love. He couldn’t tell the difference. He couldn’t understand his own heart. Once the person he loved walked away, when everything. started to feel wrong… Only then would he learn

But learning this lesson through a failed marriage was a price too steep to pay.

After all, learning what love is and how to love is something parents are supposed to teach their children when they are young.
