Divorce and Freedom No More Homemaker for Him novel Chapter 629

Chapter 629 The Things He Finally Understood

If the twins also lived there, it might almost feel as if nothing had ever broken between them–like they were still a family of four.

But Ayla was firm. Her mind was made up, and Troy knew there was no point arguing.

She was right. The special treatment she once gave him was gone. Because of that, Troy could no longer behave the way he used to. In the past, he could order her around, say whatever he liked, and do whatever he wanted.

Now those days were over. When everything began going wrong, Troy finally started to realize how well Ayla had treated him. Back then, he had simply assumed it was normal.

Raising children was full of small, daily tasks–things Troy had never noticed before.

Something as simple as waking up early every morning to cook breakfast was difficult.

But Ayla had done it day after day.

Troy had always known she treated him well and often gave in to him. But that kindness had always felt vague. He never stopped to think about what it actually took. Now, through all these small details, he finally understood how much effort it must have required.

The elders would be arriving soon, and Troy forced himself to stay calm. He turned and looked at Ayla. Her face showed clear signs of exhaustion, and the tired look in her eyes made his chest tighten.

Before the divorce, she had often looked just as worn out. But back then, her eyes had been dull and heavy with sadness. Now they were bright again. She was just tired.

“Ayla,” Troy said quietly, “if you’re sleepy, you can lean on my shoulder.”

His sudden kindness startled her.

Ayla looked at him in confusion.

Is he trying to copy Bria?

After a brief silence, she quietly shifted a little farther away.

Troy opened his mouth, but no word came out.

He snapped, “Is that necessary? I’ve kissed every part of you, and now you act like sitting next to me is unbearable?”

Ayla had reached her limit. “Do you want me to recall just how bad your skills were?”

Troy’s expression turned stormy.

Right then, Bria’s excited voice rang out. “Troy! Ayla! The twins are unbelievably cute!” She hurried over, but the moment she saw the two of them staring at each other like enemies, she froze. Bria blinked in disbelief. “What’s going on with you two now?”

Ayla stayed silent.

Bria turned to Troy. “Did you bully Ayla again?”

Troy replied coldly, “This is between us. Stay out of it.”

Bria rolled her eyes. She had seen what Ayla was like when she was with Draven–how relaxed and sweet they were together. After seeing that, Bria finally understood just how bad Troy had been as a husband. A man like him was bad luck for any woman who married him. Honestly, Ayla had done the right thing by divorcing him.

Of course, Bria would never say that out loud. She didn’t dare to act recklessly at home. Bria had to keep a low profile and watch everyone’s mood carefully.

After a while, Martin arrived with Eric and Carmen.

Bria quickly went over to greet them.

Troy and Ayla both stood up. Troy greeted them the same way.

Ayla only addressed Martin. She didn’t even look at Eric or Carmen.

Back when she was still married to Troy, she might have kept up some polite appearances. But those days were gone. Now they meant less to her than strangers. Ayla had no desire to pretend otherwise.

Martin hadn’t seen her in quite some time. He walked over and gently patted her on the head. “It’s been rough on you,” he said.

Troy stood nearby. His lips pressed into a thin line as he lowered his gaze and said nothing.

What Ayla had gone through back then was far more than just a rough patch. At the time, she had been so furious she almost wanted to tear Troy apart. The anger had faded with time, but what had happened between them could never be erased with a simple apology or a few kind words. Still, out of respect for Martin, Ayla only shook her head.

“Grandpa,” Troy said, “I’ll take responsibility as their father. You don’t have to worry about us.”

Ayla didn’t call him out. Over the past few days, Troy had been trying hard to follow her lead and learn how to take care of the babies. If he had refused to step up, Ayla would have taken the twins and left without hesitation. But if Troy truly accepted his role, it would only benefit the children.

Now that the babies were here, there were many things to think about. Ayla found herself pulled into all kinds of responsibilities.

Before long, the elders went to see the babies. A new life always brought joy to a family. And Fluffy and Birdie were especially lovable. Their chubby little faces were enough to soften anyone’s heart. The elders had brought plenty of gifts for the twins–tiny bracelets and keepsakes meant to bring them luck and protection. Troy accepted everything on their behalf.

Martin also gave the babies their official names.

Fluffy would be called Floyd Winston.

Birdie would be called Esme Winston.

From now on, Floyd and Esme would grow up as the heirs to inherit their empire.

With such a powerful family behind them, their future would naturally be well protected.

Whenever Ayla thought about these things, she always focused on what was best for the children.

The Winstons was like a towering tree that offered strong shelter. Growing up under that protection would only help the twins.

Of course, if anyone ever treated them badly, Ayla would step in. After all, nothing could ever replace a mother.
