Chapter 435 No Respect
Maybe it was because Phil was on her mind. The shared last name made her wary.
Why is Fabiola competing with me?

One problem after another piled up. The anger simmering inside Ayla rose, but her expression stayed calm. “Come back to the office. I’ll talk to you then.”
Hannah agreed, and the call ended.
Juliet had already walked them to the entrance of the nursing home.
“Ayla, Kaleb, it’s not that serious. I’ve got your grandma. If your mom’s situation really can’t be hidden anymore, then it can’t be helped. When your dad shows up later, I’ll go meet him. You don’t need to worry about any of it. Just focus on your own work.”
Kaleb looked disgusted. “My mom just had her accident, and he immediately found a new woman. Does he even deserve to be called a dad?”
Juliet said, “You sure don’t hold back with your words. If he comes, why don’t you go settle accounts with him yourself?”
Kaleb frowned. “Sure. I’m just afraid I won’t be able to control myself and will send him straight to the hospital.”
Ayla grabbed Kaleb’s arm. “Aunt Juliet, thanks for everything.”
Juliet clearly enjoyed being needed by her niece and nephew. “Just be good to me in the future.”
Kaleb almost blurted out, “Quit the act,” but with Ayla there, he held it back.
He and Ayla had long treated that old bastard as if he didn’t exist. Even if he died, they wouldn’t
go to his funeral. Seeing him would only make them sick.
If that old bastard really came to Trensea, they’d have to leave it to Juliet.
Kaleb endured it and stayed silent for the moment, but something caught his eye.
The veins on Kaleb’s forehead bulged. He shot Ayla a glare. “Why is he here too?”
Juliet asked curiously, “Who?”

Kaleb turned back. “None of your business.”

Juliet looked at Ayla, then suddenly noticed the faint red mark on the side of her neck. She froze. “Ayla, are you dating someone?”
Ayla didn’t expect her to be so sharp. There was nothing to hide. “Yeah.”
Kaleb didn’t like Draven, but there was no need to argue. He turned his face away and ignored it.
Juliet was shocked. “Ayla, are you doing this on purpose? It hasn’t been long at all, and you already found someone else. Don’t tell me your marriage left you burnt out, and now you’re just playing around! Is he in the car? Take me to see him. I will vet him for you.”
Ayla frowned. “Aunt Juliet, stay out of this.”
Juliet said, “How can I stay out of it? Your mom is gone, and your dad doesn’t care about you. That’s why you’re casually dating again. Look at how much you’ve suffered these past few years. Listen to me and break up quickly. If you really want to date, I’ll introduce you to some high-quality young men. I guarantee they’re more reliable than Troy.”
Ayla couldn’t listen anymore.
Before she could speak, Kaleb snapped back first. “Are you bored and looking for trouble? Who Ayla dates is her business. What does it have to do with you? And with your taste, what kind of people could you even introduce to her? Someone ten years older? Or twenty?”
Juliet’s face turned ugly. “I’m doing this for your own good!”
Ayla saw a trace of genuine emotion in Juliet’s eyes. It surprised her.
Why did Aunt Juliet change again in such a short time?
But Ayla seemed to understand a little now. Before Juliana’s accident, Juliet treated her normally. After the accident, Juliet only showed kindness when Ayla was at her lowest.
Like after Juliana’s accident, or when she divorced, and Juliet took the initiative to invite her to dinner. And now, because of Phil. Whenever Ayla hit rock bottom or needed help, Juliet became unusually proactive.
But when things were going smoothly for them, Juliet turned cold, even hostile.
What’s her deal?
Is she unable to stand seeing Kaleb and me doing well?

Or does she truly want to help?
Ayla swallowed her doubts. For now, keeping up appearances with Juliet was enough.

Why is half of each of these chapters missing? The story sort of trails off in the middle of the chapter. That’s unfortunate....
