Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 240

Good thing they were on the same page.

This was just an acting game.

But what Ayla didn't know was that Draven's words often carried hidden meanings—at least the last thing he said, he meant seriously.

...

Ayla had a rare night of insomnia, tossing and turning until she finally fell asleep around four in the morning. She didn't wake up again until ten.

Halle had sent her several messages.

Oh, right, I have to accompany her to meet Conrad this afternoon.

Ayla quickly replied that she'd be there on time. Then she rubbed her head and headed to the bathroom to get ready.

Unsurprisingly, she noticed the moon-shaped building blocks on the bathroom counter.

Right there where she'd see them every day.

If you see something often enough, you eventually get used to it and stop noticing.

But today, Ayla noticed.

It was the divorce gift Draven had given her—small blocks he'd put together himself. Ayla picked them up, stared at them for a moment, and remembered the serious look on his face.

But after a moment, she put them back on the far side of the counter and started getting ready. When she finished, she took a few steps out, then suddenly stopped. After a couple of seconds, she turned back, opened the cabinet, and put the blocks inside.

If she couldn't see them, she wouldn't think about them so much.

Ayla was very clear about one thing: Draven was incredibly charming. Even though he didn't try to show off, everything he did was captivating. Plus, pretending to be her boyfriend sometimes made his words ambiguous, which led to overthinking.

Fortunately, Ayla had some experience with relationships. The thrill of charm and words didn't affect her much. If she ever liked someone, it wouldn't be any easier than it was with Draven.

Her mind was made up. They were using each other. Neither owed the other anything. From now on, she'd just hold on tight to Draven.

Of course, even with Draven backing her, she still hoped Troy wouldn't come looking for trouble—though pretending to be a couple with Draven was another kind of provocation toward Troy.

Ayla felt happy.

Because facing Troy, she was sure she could win.

...

This time, Halle came to pick her up.

As soon as she got in the car, Ayla noticed Halle looked upset. "What's wrong? You're about to meet Conrad, and you're not happy?"

Halle looked like she had eaten something bad. "No."

"Then what is it?" Ayla rarely saw Halle like this. The night Halle's fiancé got engaged, her fiancé had gone abroad with another woman, yet Halle calmly wished them happiness, even hoping they'd have kids in three years. "You've got a big heart. What could you possibly be upset about?"
