Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 A Job for Ten Million

Ayla really was not afraid of him at all, and she often did things that completely caught him off guard.

Like that coat.

He thought she would just throw it on for a moment and return it once she got into the car. Instead, she wore it properly, tied the belt, rolled up the sleeves, and treated his coat like it already belonged to her.

He was not sure if she was bold or just a little slow sometimes.

“What are you doing?”

Draven looked annoyed, clearly unhappy about being disturbed.

Ayla was not expecting this scene. Because of the height difference, her head only reached Draven’s chin. Her stunned gaze landed right on his chest.

How rude.

She snapped out of it and finally met his eyes.

I

“It’s about the cup. I came up with a compromise. Since James will not take my money, bought a new one and I’m gifting it to you under James’s name as a housewarming present. That way I can return the favor.”

Ayla did not give him a chance to refuse. She hung the bag on the door handle.

“Good night, Mr. Storm.”

Then, she turned and left.

Draven was speechless.

She ran fast.

Two seconds later, James came out of the study after a phone call and walked into the living room, looking toward the door.

“Is it just me, or did I hear Ayla just now?”

He moved forward immediately to take a look.

Draven removed the shopping bag from the handle and closed the door.

1/4

By the time James wanted to chase after her, it was already too late.

He noticed the brand on the bag. “I forgot to bring this over to you. Is this the one you ordered online?”

Draven ignored him.

He walked to the bar, picked up scissors, and opened the package. The cup inside was revealed.

The glass was cut with diamond-like edges. Under the light, it shone brilliantly, like a star.

The cup even had a name: Polaris.

Nothing too special, but genuinely beautiful.

James was used to Draven’s silence. Fortunately, James talked enough for both of them. He made a random guess. “Don’t tell me Ayla gave this to you. You looked so suspicious when you rushed to close the door just now.”

Draven turned and placed Polaris on the display shelf.

That entire wall already had three spots taken by cups he had picked out himself.

Then, he grabbed his phone.

A moment later, James’s phone buzzed. He looked down. “You sent me 38,000? I like it.”

They occasionally sent each other money, all in the tens of thousands. Those were considered small change to them.

“Although the specific number is odd. I’ve never seen you do that.” Even though he thought it was strange, his finger already tapped to accept.

Once Draven saw that he accepted it, he finally spoke. “Ayla asked me to return your money.”

you

James’s finger froze. He lifted his head, eyes narrowing. “What do mean?”

Draven said, “She doesn’t want to owe you anything.”

James opened and closed his mouth, then looked insulted. “Draven, how long have we known each other? Do you think I’m the type of man who would ask a woman to pay me back for a gift? Send that money back to Ayla right now.”

As he spoke, he hurried to transfer the money back to Draven.

“You’d better send it to her. I mean it.”

2/4

This situation almost destroyed James’s worldview. He continued, “If Herman and the guys ever find out that I asked a woman for money, my reputation will be ruined. They’ll make fun of me for the rest of my life. It’ll be torture.”

Draven did not speak.

He just watched his friend panic.

James finally realized something. His expression froze, then turned pale.

“No way, Draven. You did it on purpose? You waited for me to accept the money and then told me it was from Ayla? Fraud. Absolute fraud,

Draven said, “I just did her a favor.”

“A favor? This tiny matter? Since when do you do favors for fun? You’re not that free.”

Draven said, “I’m actually very free.”

James stared at his expressionless face and eventually let out a laugh from anger. “You sly fox. You scheme against your own brother.”

Draven pointed at the door. “Keep yelling.”
