When she said, “Not great,” it meant she’d reached her limit–the hurt must have been deep. But Ayla wasn’t as fragile as he’d assumed. She didn’t need comforting words; saying too much would feel disrespectful, like underestimating her.
Will had only a couple of thoughts in his head.
First, Ayla was genuinely impressive, and he wanted to be real friends with her.
Second, it was such a shame she’d married so young.
Just then, the atmosphere in the hall shifted slightly.
Ayla and Will noticed and looked toward the entrance.
Troy and his group had arrived.
Will knew Ayla could handle her emotions, but he still instinctively worried and glanced at her.
But he found Ayla looking over openly and calmly.
Right after the divorce, seeing him would hurt her, so it made sense that she didn’t want to see him.
But now she’d slowly moved on. She had a different mindset.
Divorce didn’t mean never seeing someone again. She’d still have to go to the courthouse with Troy to finalize it. If she was afraid just to run into him, what was the point?
Ayla looked around and saw familiar faces entering
Troy, Max, and Rolf–three tall, handsome men, each with a powerful background–walked in wearing suits. They definitely made for a striking sight.
Jed followed behind Troy, also in a suit, but Ayla didn’t even glance at him.
Between Troy and Rolf was Skyla, dressed in a sparkling gown covered in crystals.
She looked glamorous, with jewelry that made her glow even more. From afar, she looked elegant and high–class.
Bria had mentioned the millions spent on her look, and Ayla knew it was true.
It wasn’t just Troy who’d put in the effort–Juliet had too.

Ayla had accepted it.
She glanced over, then coolly looked away.

Will saw that Ayla didn’t seem bothered, but he still took a step to block her line of sight to Troy’s group.
He didn’t want her to get upset.
At the same time, he noticed the unfriendly looks Troy and the others were giving her.
Will didn’t like that arrogant attitude.
When people fuss over you, it can make you feel stuck, like you haven’t moved on and need protection or comfort.
In reality, she could handle it, and she was doing pretty well.
While she didn’t need Will’s careful attention, she fully appreciated his kind gesture.
Since he knew about her relationship with Troy, Ayla said, “There are just two weeks left in the divorce cooling–off period. Once I get the divorce certificate, I’ll have nothing to do with Troy. No need to worry too much.”
Will had suspected their relationship was rocky, but he hadn’t realized they were already in the divorce process.
That’s great!
He’d really been worried she’d keep getting hurt!
“Out of sight, out of mind,” he said.
Ayla nodded, agreeing with him.
After all, she still held some unresolved anger toward Troy.
Adults had to take responsibility for their choices. Troy should have been responsible for marrying her, but he hadn’t.
Not that it matters anymore.
What mattered was that Ayla had to take responsibility for the fact that she had loved him.
She couldn’t just let go of all her anger. If she couldn’t have a normal pregnancy in the future, that would be a consequence of her choices.

Blaming the world wouldn’t help. She just had to tell herself to learn from it, remember the pain, and not repeat the mistake.
Ayla just wanted to move forward!
Will and Ayla’s interaction didn’t escape Jed’s notice. He leaned close to Troy and said, “Ayla must be Will’s secretary. Well, with her abilities, she’s not qualified to be Draven’s secretary at an event like this.”
Only the chief secretary gets to do that.
Ayla wasn’t at that level–she was probably just here to fill a seat.
Troy frowned. He knew Ayla wouldn’t dare take Draven’s secretary role. Jed didn’t need to remind him.
He shot Jed a warning look.
Jed saw that mentioning Ayla had ruined Troy’s mood, so he dropped it.
He actually didn’t want to bring her up, but seeing her made him annoyed.
Mr. Winston really got unlucky marrying a woman with no self–awareness.
Luckily, it’s a secret marriage, almost no one knew it, or Mr. Winston would have been embarrassed.
Skyla spotted Ayla in her white gown from across the room.
She couldn’t deny it. Even if the dress was plain compared to her own fancy gowns, fitted white dress really suited Ayla’s cold, elegant vibe.
the simple,
Her shoulder–length hair was pulled back, a few strands framing her face. With her clean makeup, she stood out at the flashy party–fresh, confident, and full of presence.
