Chapter 62 Being Honest
This time, Ayla suddenly realized something
She had accepted that Troy didn’t love her. Whatever he did for Skyla, she could let it go
But Troy’s cold treatment and the pain he caused her were real.
In an unhappy marriage, both people deal with it privately. But Troy let his family attack her without reason or limit, while he stood by and watched.
Troy didn’t love her, yet he wanted to marry her. On their first day of marriage, he handed her divorce papers, telling her she could leave anytime.
It looked like he was giving her the choice to leave, but really, he was just too cowardly to refuse the marriage.
His resentment started because of timing-he thought her saving Martin was planned.
She’d explained it countless times, and she’d spent three years proving herself through actions. But he still ignored it, all while enjoying her care.
If he was so bothered and couldn’t forgive her, he shouldn’t have married her in the first place.
For the past three years, Ayla genuinely loved Troy, but she wasn’t shameless. If he had refused the marriage, she would have accepted it.
She didn’t have the power or the right to force him into it
But he agreed to marry her, so he had to take responsibility for his choice.
How could he emotionally abuse her for three years while still agreeing to have a child with her?
Didn’t he see the contradiction?
Whenever Ayla felt hopeless, he’d give her tiny hope, sinking her deeper.
Eventually, she got so foolish that even when he frequently brought up divorce, she saw it as just him being angry.
Looking back, Ayla couldn’t believe how much she had tolerated Troy.
She felt like a total stranger to her past self.
After all, there’s nothing wrong with not loving someone, hurting them is what’s wrong.
The day before at Riverline, Troy couldn’t stand that Skyla got hurt a little, so he immediately retaliated against Halle. He used action to love and protect the woman he cared about.
At that time, Ayla asked herself what it felt like to watch the man you deeply loved treat another woman so well.
Her answer was? Nothing. She didn’t care.
But now, Ayla couldn’t relate to that version of herself.
She still had emotions she couldn’t process!
He felt frustrated with himself. He shouldn’t have opened up her wound. Couldn’t he have just ignored it? Now he’d made Ayla cry.
But the next moment, Ayla blinked. Her eyes were slightly red, but there were no tears.
That brief vulnerability seemed like an illusion.
Will went from confused to stunned.
Because Ayla had turned back to the dessert table and was happily eating again, looking relaxed and happy.
How could someone change their mood so fast?
Will’s jaw dropped slightly. “A-Ayla?”
After taking a bite of pudding, Ayla met Will’s shocked gaze and said, “I know what you’re thinking. But we’re all adults-whose life isn’t a mess? Who doesn’t have their own troubles?
“Bria said a few harsh words—it’s not the end of the world. I still have work to do later, so I need to fill up, stay focused, and face what comes next.”
She wasn’t forcing a smile or trying to comfort herself-she meant it.
Will was deeply moved by her resilient attitude.
From the way she handled things, it was clear Ayla wasn’t fragile; she could handle a lot of negativity.

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