Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80 He Lies

Troy listened with clear boredom. His tone turned sharp and cold. He said, “I already told her to resign.”

He acted like the idea of Ayla refusing didn’t exist. He never imagined she would push back.

Troy never loved Ayla. He also never respected her.

He never cared about her thoughts.

A small crease hit his brow.

The old Ayla would have followed his orders right away.

But the Ayla standing in front of them now was not the same woman.

Max had seen the change too. After she made up her mind about the divorce, she shifted.

Her whole presence changed.

She looked brighter now that she no longer treated Troy like he was the center of her world.

Max felt his heartbeat shoot up.

He pressed his hand to his chest and tried to calm himself. He told himself he was too old to react like a teenager.

The rush still hit him anyway. His nerves shook with excitement.

Skyla said, “Why did you stop talking?”

Max said, “If you want to know, go ask her.” He let out a slow breath. He added, “You always act like you’re above that sort of talk.”

He knew Skyla. She had high standards because she was a brilliant woman. She always looked down on Ayla.

He also knew arguing with her was useless. Sometimes keeping the peace was easier.

Skyla hated hearing that tone from him. Max still looked relaxed, which made her irritation feel stupid.

She forced it down and said, “Just remember who your actual friends are.”

Then she stopped talking to Max.

Max said, “Of course. You two are my closest friends.”

Troy shot him a cold warning. “Stop acting weird.”

Max let out a quick, annoyed click of his tongue. He said, “I didn’t even pick a fight with Skyla. You need to relax. I can’t even joke now?”

Troy stayed silent. That silence was an answer.

He never let anything slide when Skyla was involved.

Max lifted his hands. He said, “Fine. I quit. Ayla didn’t tell me anything special. I don’t know if she plans to quit. If you want the truth, go ask her.”

Troy frowned for a second, then dismissed it.

He still believed Ayla would never disobey him.

Whenever they argued and he refused to come home, Ayla ran to Laura first. If Laura had nothing, Ayla went to Max to ask about him.

So if she came today, he assumed she was here to apologize.
