Chapter 494 She’s Smart

She noticed my mood again?

:

This time was different. He’d hidden it better than ever. So how did she still catch it?

Draven’s heart slammed hard against his chest.

The heartbeat went wild, sharp, and uneven, like something suddenly going wrong.

The emotions Kayla had never sensed were suddenly seen by someone else.

He had once stabbed Jeremy, and Kayla still hadn’t realized how bad things were between them. That level of blindness or not caring was unreal.

Yet with the woman he loved, he slipped for just a moment, and Ayla saw it right away.

The first thought stung, bitter and rough.

The second made his stomach twist tight.

Why was Ayla so sharp?

“…Y-you’re my sun.”

The words slipped out before he could stop himself.

He didn’t want her to see his face right now, even though he probably looked normal.

Still, there could be a tiny crack somewhere.

His girlfriend was just too smart.

Draven buried his face in the crook of her neck, greedily breathing in her familiar, comforting

scent.

He’d never been good at understanding people. When he felt bad, he never thought he needed comfort. To him, emotions and tears were weak and dangerous, like poisonous snakes he avoided on instinct.

He believed that part of him was carved into his bones and would follow him to the grave.

Until he met Ayla.

He could get anxious for no clear reason, trapped in overthinking, just because he liked her too much and feared losing her.

He also finally understood that he needed comfort, too.

Sometimes, one sentence was all it took.

Being comforted also felt unbelievably good.

Draven slowly calmed down, as he’d just survived a silent wave that came and went without leaving a mark, like a quiet solo performance.

If it had been Troy, there would’ve been chaos and loud drama, with the whole family rushing around him.

The suffocating attention Troy tried to escape from his mother and the firm but warm guidance from his father-those were things Draven had secretly wanted since childhood.

Others’ poison felt sweet to him.

So, Jeremy was wrong when he said Draven was just taking Troy’s leftovers. Draven had gotten exactly what he’d always wanted.

Jeremy was wrong about one more thing.

Troy was the one left behind. Ayla had chosen to leave him.

Draven finally loosened his grip on her, like he was ready to give her everything. “Ayla, what should I do for you?”

Ayla blinked. “Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”

“I’ve gotten so much from you,” he said. “It always feels like I owe you.”

“… Huh? What did I even do to make you feel that way? I don’t think I did anything.”

Draven tugged lightly at the corner of his mouth, his eyes gentle. “I’m the one benefiting here.”

Ayla snorted. “I’ve never seen anyone so eager to lose.”

“How is that a loss?” His entire life had changed because of her.

Ayla ran her hand over his chest, narrowing her eyes. “Mr. Storm, remember that client we
