Max clenched his teeth but hid it well. “Then I’ll swing by the birthday party,” he said. “I want to see the show myself.”

Troy narrowed his eyes. “You don’t believe me?”

“Not really,” Max said. “But I’m curious to see if Ayla will ever go back at you. You know me; I love a good

show.”

And on that day, he planned to be part of the show.

It was simple logic.

If there was even the smallest chance that Ayla and Troy might rekindle their feelings, Max would crush that possibility.

He could stir up trouble, stir up Skyla a little, or even hire an actress to put on a scene. He’d decide in the

moment.

The bigger the chaos, the better. Let everyone see it. He would make sure Troy lost any right to compete for Ayla’s affection. Let him become a past in her life.

Max could already picture it.

After that birthday, he and Troy would probably fall out.

And honestly? Max didn’t care. He hated the way Troy treated Ayla. Some things weren’t misunderstandings; they were just plain character problems.

Losing a buddy like him wasn’t a loss at all.

With that thought, Max poured Troy a cup of tea, then poured one for himself and took a drink.

Troy stared at him, studying him with a heavy look.

Max didn’t mind being studied.

“What are you thinking?” Troy finally asked. “Or what result are you hoping for?”

Max smiled, lifting a brow. “I hope you get what you wish for.”

“Funny,” Troy said. “It sounds like you’re siding with Ayla

Max shrugged. “Well, I did get to try her cooking.”

business. Watch if you want, but don’t get involved.”

“Come on,” Max said with a helpless smile. “When have I ever stepped into your marriage problems?”

Troy didn’t answer.

But just thinking about Ayla made his mood crash again.

He took one last drink of tea, grabbed the divorce certificate, and walked out.

Max watched his retreating back, eyes narrowing.

Troy still refused to humble himself to Ayla.

But his attention on her was growing. Clearly.

So Max was more eager for Martin’s birthday than anyone else.

Even more than his grandfather’s.

Not long after Troy left, Max’s phone rang.

“Mr. Bennett,” Patrick said. “Emmett turned down our extra investment.”

Max froze, then laughed. “Those two kids really have that much money to burn?”

“No idea. Emmett refused flat-out.”

Max sighed.

So much for winning over a future brother-in-law.

Was he really supposed to win over James instead?

He had to admit, he kind of respected James. The guy somehow became close to Ayla in such a short time.

Max’s expression darkened.

But if it was for Ayla, he could swallow his pride.

Troy went straight home.

Laura, who had taken the day off, had come back early.

She looked at him eagerly and even glanced behind him, as if expecting someone else to walk in.

Troy remembered how upset she’d been about losing Ayla. The anger in his chest rose again. His face stayed cold as he asked, “What are you looking for?”

“You and Mrs. Winston…” she whispered.

“I’m divorced from her,” Troy cut in, his voice low and sharp. “And don’t ever let me hear you call her that ever again.”

The warning was clear.
