Divorce and Freedom No More Homemaker for Him novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62 Being Honest

This time, Ayla suddenly realized something.

She had accepted that Troy didn’t love her. Whatever he did for Skyla, she could let it go.

But Troy’s cold treatment and the pain he caused her were real.

In an unhappy marriage, both people deal with it privately. But Troy let his family attack her without reason or limit, while he stood by and watched.

Troy didn’t love her, yet he wanted to marry her. On their first day of marriage, he handed her divorce papers, telling her she could leave anytime.

It looked like he was giving her the choice to leave, but really, he was just too cowardly to refuse the marriage.

His resentment started because of timing–he thought her saving Martin was planned.

She’d explained it countless times, and she’d spent three years proving herself through actions. But he still ignored it, all while enjoying her care.

If he was so bothered and couldn’t forgive her, he shouldn’t have married her in the first place.

For the past three years, Ayla genuinely loved Troy, but she wasn’t shameless. If he had refused the marriage, she would have accepted it.

She didn’t have the power or the right to force him into it.

But he agreed to marry her, so he had to take responsibility for his choice.

How could he emotionally abuse her for three years while still agreeing to have a child with her?

Didn’t he see the contradiction?

Whenever Ayla felt hopeless, he’d give her tiny hope, sinking her deeper.

Eventually, she got so foolish that even when he frequently brought up divorce, she saw it as just him being angry.

Looking back, Ayla couldn’t believe how much she had tolerated Troy.

She felt like a total stranger to her past self.

After all, there’s nothing wrong with not loving someone, hurting them is what’s wrong.

Chapter 62 Being Honest

Finished

The day before at Riverline, Troy couldn’t stand that Skyla got hurt a little, so he immediately retaliated against Halle. He used action to love and protect the woman he cared about.

At that time, Ayla asked herself what it felt like to watch the man you deeply loved treat another woman so well.

Her answer was? Nothing. She didn’t care.

But now, Ayla couldn’t relate to that version of herself.

She still had emotions she couldn’t process!

This feeling had shifted from the sadness of Troy loving someone else to anger over the malicious way he hurt her.

The most ridiculous part? She had no outlet for this

anger.

Ayla could confront Troy about every single grievance, but he’d always have countless excuses, maybe even call her crazy and ask when she’d ever stop.

She just wanted him to say “I’m sorry.”

And he would never say it.

Ayla hadn’t expected Bria’s provocation to lead her down this train of thought.

Once she cleared her head, she finally met Will’s gaze.

Seeing the genuine concern in his eyes, Ayla decided to be honest with herself. She said seriously, “Not great.”

Her cool, clear eyes quickly reddened.

When Ayla’s eyes held no emotion, they naturally carried an aloof pride–just like Draven’s.

From the moment Will expressed concern to Ayla’s response, at least ten seconds had passed. That showed this wasn’t a polite brush–off; she had really thought it through.

Because her answer was so sincere, Will felt affected and couldn’t calm down for a while.

He felt frustrated with himself. He shouldn’t have opened up her wound. Couldn’t he have just ignored it? Now he’d made Ayla cry.

But the next moment, Ayla blinked. Her eyes were slightly red, but there were no tears.

That brief vulnerability seemed like an illusion.

Because Ayla had turned back to the dessert table and was happily eating again, looking relaxed and happy.

How could someone change their mood so fast?

Will’s jaw dropped slightly. “A–Ayla?”

After taking a bite of pudding, Ayla met Will’s shocked gaze and said, “I know what you’re thinking. But we’re all adults–whose life isn’t a mess? Who doesn’t have their own troubles?

“Bria said a few harsh words–it’s not the end of the world. I still have work to do later, so I need to fill up, stay focused, and face what comes next.”

She wasn’t forcing a smile or trying to comfort herself–she meant it.

Will was deeply moved by her resilient attitude.

From the way she handled things, it was clear Ayla wasn’t fragile; she could handle a lot of negativity.
