Chapter 748 Too Late to Realize
Troy hadn’t liked her at all before. Now that they were divorced, he couldn’t accept being the one who was abandoned, only to realize that he actually had feelings for Ayla. What could be more ironic than that?
But everything was already too late.
Max said, “If Troy finds out, I’ll try to hold him back.”
Ayla looked at him. “Max, you don’t have to do anything for me.”
I do want to help you, but I know the one who can really help you isn’t me. It’s Draven,” Max said. He accepted everything. “Stopping him is just something small I want to do for you. And I’d also like to try convincing Troy to accept reality sooner, so he won’t keep bothering you. Though I know the chances are slim.
Ayla didn’t say anything more.
As for raising the child together with Draven, she still needed to talk to the Winstons about it.
But it probably wouldn’t be a big issue. Not only was she the child’s mother, but everything Troy had done was already clear to everyone. On top of that, Draven was the one currently keeping the child. Taking the hild by force wasn’t an option.
Max watched Ayla leave, a gentle smile still on his face.
But the moment the door closed, the smile disappeared.
t hurt.
t really hurt.
Max still wanted to stay with Ayla. Even if it was just joking around, it would have been enough as long as
e could remain by her side. But that was no longer possible.
And his personality simply wasn’t like Troy’s. He couldn’t act that crazily.
in truth, Max could have done it. But reality didn’t allow it, because Ayla didn’t love him. The reason Troy dared to treat Ayla like she belonged to him was because they had shared three years of marriage. That was ais confidence and his justification.
Max didn’t have any of that. Even if he had the ability, he didn’t have the emotional drive to go that far.
For someone like Max, it wasn’t easy to fall for someone. And once he did, it probably wouldn’t be easy to forget either. But he had always lived a carefree life, never caring much about conventional ideas of love or marriage. He would just keep going as he always had, and maybe one day, he would truly let it go.
Max decided to go see Troy.
Troy had thought Ayla was still in Zheron, so he had been holding out and hadn’t returned.
He had only flown back to Trensea today.

But he was being watched by Eric, and there was also Martin’s warning.
After all, even the massive landmark project in Silvoria, worth hundreds of billions and belonging to the Winston Group, had been handed over to Troy’s cousin to manage. Martin was genuinely angry. Troy didn’t dare act recklessly and provoke him again. Otherwise, he might even lose his inheritance rights. Of course, among the younger generation of the Winstons, none of them were really a match for Troy. Martin was simply putting pressure on him for a while, but it still served as a strong warning.
Max went to Troy’s villa.
Troy’s injured leg was still wrapped in white bandages.
He sat on the couch, giving off a heavy, gloomy aura.
Eric had also moved in.
Max greeted Eric, then went to find Troy. Looking at his dark expression, Max spoke in the same teasing one as before. “Didn’t expect that at 30, you’d still get to enjoy fatherly care. Troy, I’m jealous.”
Max sat down across from him, crossing his legs.
