Divorce and Freedom No More Homemaker for Him novel Chapter 746

Finished

When Max got together with Ayla, his role had been to make her happy, almost like a tool. It was exactly the kind of relationship Ayla had wanted at the time, something completely without emotional investment. It was called a relationship, but in reality, it had just been a form of entertainment.

Max had accepted all of that. He still wanted to be with her, so he had known from the beginning that it would eventually end.

He had always been someone who took things lightly, so he had expected the outcome. But during that time, he couldn’t help fantasizing about a different ending. For example, that Ayla might choose neither Troy nor Draven, and instead truly end up with him.

But a fantasy was just a fantasy. Reality was reality. And reality was even colder and harsher than he had imagined. The breakup had come far too quickly.

They had only been together for a few days. The time they had actually spent together didn’t even add up to

24 hours.

“But Ayla, you ended things with me before you even got back together with Draven. That just makes me even more jealous of him,” Max said. Even so, he still wore that gentle, charming smile.

No matter the situation, he always carried himself with calm composure.

“Why?” Ayla looked at him.

“You probably don’t even realize how much you care about Draven’s feelings. You two aren’t back together yet, but you’ve already given him a chance. And once you gave him that chance, you had to cut off everything else. Because in your eyes, what you have with Draven isn’t something that can be treated casually. It’s different from what you had with me, which was just for fun. The level of importance isn’t the same, so the meaning is different, and your attitude is different too,” Max said.

Ayla listened. It was true. She had always been serious when it came to Draven.

Max continued, “Look at you. You said you’d only date for your own happiness from now on, but the moment you ran into Draven, all your principles went out the window.”

Max let out a breath. He covered his chest with one hand and laughed as he spoke. “I’m really heartbroken.”

The way he acted made it seem like he was exaggerating on purpose. Ayla knew he was someone who valued dignity, so she understood that everything he said was sincere. He just didn’t want to show real sadness and make her feel bad too.

Ayla said, “We just weren’t meant to be.”

Max laughed twice. “Ayla, there’s no need to apologize. We agreed from the start that we could end things at any time. Actually, I should thank you for giving me the chance to hold your hand openly in front of Troy and Draven. I’m already very satisfied. I even thought that since I’m different from those two in personality, and we got along well, maybe you’d want a change and keep things going with me. But it couldn’t beat reality.”

Everything Max said was sincere. He was just trying to keep the atmosphere light. But now, even his expression turned serious as he asked, “Ayla, if I had me you earlier, would you have given me a chance?”

Ayla had never thought about that. “That kind of hypothetical doesn’t mean anything.”

“I know it doesn’t, but sometimes thinking about it is a kind of comfort. Ayla, just indulge me. Based on how we got along, do you think I would’ve had a chance?” Max said.

Ayla lowered her gaze to the delicate coffee cup on the table.

She and Max didn’t have that kind of unspoken understanding. But his personality was easygoing, and being with him had felt effortless. Anyone would enjoy spending time with someone they got along with and shared common ground with. So Ayla could give a clear answer.

“Maybe.”

This time, Max’s smile grew wider. “Ayla, you know what? That answer made me feel better.”

“That easy to satisfy?”

“Yeah. Because your answer let me believe I still had some charm. I just lost to timing. If I had met you earlier, we really might have had a chance.”

It wasn’t that Max wasn’t worthy of Ayla’s love. It was just that they had met at the wrong time.

Troy really had won because of luck. Otherwise, how would he have even had a place in all of this?
