Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 239

Draven's eyes cooled, though he made sure Ayla didn't notice. "I could've known you before that. You just didn't know about me."

Ayla wondered if that was possible.

"I've liked you deeply for three years. The moment you divorced, I wasn't going to sit back and watch. Even if you were Troy's ex, I won't hold back.

"Ayla, only if I've liked you for that long would I rush to be with you—right?"

It actually made sense.

First, her awkward identity was a hurdle.

Second, Draven wasn't someone who fell in love fast. If people thought he fell for her after a month of working together, no one would believe it. It would sound ridiculous.

Only years of feelings could explain why he'd be so determined.

Ayla sighed. "Mr. Storm, that reason is perfect. How did you come up with it? It almost sounds like you actually loved me."

Draven thought, I did.

"Are you saying I'm smart?"

"Yeah."

"A smart person's reasoning naturally sounds true."

Ayla was left speechless. He still looked calm and cool, but he was openly praising himself.

But he deserved it.

They talked about where their timelines might have crossed three years ago. Draven deliberately avoided mentioning the seaside. He didn't want to bring it up like it was nothing. He planned to tell her only when she actually liked him.

Three years ago, Ayla was still a student. She'd visited an AI research center that cost billions, and parts of it overlapped with Draven's work.

After they finished sorting everything out, Draven drove Ayla home.

They stepped into the elevator together, walked out, and then went toward their own doors.

Ayla opened her door, paused, and asked, "Mr. Storm, do couples have to live apart?"

Draven stopped at his own door. He stared at her. "What do you think?"

"We don't need to live together at the start, right?"

"No rush. We'll talk about it when my mom comes to Trensea."
