Chapter 551 A Day in the Sun
Finished
After Ayla finally opened up to him, “Troy” stopped being a forbidden topic. Ayla gave Draven everything he needed emotionally, and he slowly relaxed as a person.
To him, marriage was just an outcome.
Right now, Draven only cared about whether Ayla loved him.
Only Ayla’s feelings mattered to him.
“We just started dating. It’s too early to talk about marriage. If Ayla wants to marry me, I’m ready anytime.” With Draven, all the power was in Ayla’s hands.
Shawn was stunned at this.
Draven is so deeply in love?
But he also understood why the two of them were such a perfect match.
Ayla’s ex–husband was Troy. Shawn admitted he carried some arrogance from growing up around power and wealth, but he was still kind to beautiful women. Troy, on the other hand, wasn’t just arrogant. Sometimes it felt like he simply didn’t know how to talk to people. Being around him was exhausting.
After going through that, it made sense that Ayla now preferred someone stable and reliable. Someone who let her be herself, do whatever she wanted, and never felt restricted.
In short, their personalities fit perfectly.
After finishing his gossiping about his buddy, Shawn looked toward Winnie in the room.
Winnie was covering her mouth in shock, eyes wide open. She never hid her reactions. She was very real and honest.
But in other situations, Winnie could be extremely obedient, more professional than many of his trained staff. She could play any role he needed.
Yet in front of friends she trusted, every emotion showed clearly on her face. Someone as simple and pure as Winnie. If she left him, she might get scammed out of every penny in less than a day.
Honestly, Winnie couldn’t survive without him.
Maybe once his wedding date was confirmed, he would break things off with Winnic. For now, he would spoil her and protect her a little longer so she wouldn’t have to face the harsh reality of the world alone too
soon.
While Shawn was busy thinking Winnie couldn’t live without him, Winnic broke up with him decisively the same day she flew home after the birthday party. Shawn was completely shaken. What happened after that was dramatic enough to fill the front page of every major entertainment gossip magazine, but that’s a story for another time.

Chapter 551 A Day in the Sun
Finished
The party lasted until 5 a.m. Everyone was completely drunk and stumbled back to their rooms. No one really woke up until after lunch the next day.
In the afternoon, they went to the beach to sunbathe and enjoy vacation time. Food was fully handled by the villa’s staff.
James, Shawn, and Will were surfing in the ocean. The three men wore only swim trunks, their upper bodies bare. Their strong muscles were covered in shining seawater, reflecting sunlight like glass.
Blake and Halle also tried surfing. But since they hadn’t been to the ocean in a long time, they were a mess. Waves knocked them off their boards over and over–at least a dozen times–before they started getting the hang of it. They looked more like they were in training than on vacation.
Winnie was fine with pool water, but the ocean made her nervous. So she stayed on the beach in a bikini and sunglasses, happily sunbathing.
Ayla, of course, wasn’t going to waste the chance to surf. Draven felt uneasy about it, but she didn’t care. Even after he warned her again and again, she still put on her swimsuit and ran straight into the ocean.
Winnie played the role of hype girl, cheering loudly for her for a long time.
Draven had been sitting, but now he walked to the shore and watched Ayla through binoculars.
Herman was peacefully enjoying the vacation.
But Winnie was too loud. She wasn’t even in the water, yet she seemed more excited than the people surfing. Herman picked up binoculars and looked at the ocean. He spotted Blake getting smashed by a wave and couldn’t help laughing a little.
Earlier, when they asked who wanted to surf, Ayla had raised her hand. She said she had learned before but hadn’t done it in years. Everyone expected she would get tossed around by waves once she got in.
At first, she did miss a few good waves. But after a few tries, she got better and better. Soon, her posture was nearly perfect.
When Ayla focused on sports, she gave off a professional vibe. And when someone is both skilled and focused, it becomes incredibly attractive. People naturally look up to them.
Herman walked over to Draven and said, “Ayla is seriously amazing.”
Draven smiled slightly. He had always known Ayla was outstanding. Still, she continued to surprise and impress him. His eyes never left her.
Halle ran out of her strength in less than an hour and went back to shore. Just as she was about to relax with juice and sunshine, she got a call from work. Something urgent had come up. Her vacation had to end early.
The trip was supposed to be three days and two nights. They were leaving tomorrow anyway. She just had to leave one night earlier.
