He never let anyone go after his secretaries or assistants!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Soon, it was almost time to go, and Ayla came down with her suitcase.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She glanced at Troy from across the lobby.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Troy sensed her looking, because he looked up and shot her a cold stare.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Today was their third wedding anniversary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, it was over, just like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla looked away and walked toward Draven.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Draven didn\u2019t say a word. He just stood up and walked out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They took Draven\u2019s private jet to go back to Trensea from Aqualith.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Troy watched them leave with a clenched jaw and his eyes full of sarcasm.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He had been wondering what Draven\u2019s look meant just now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Draven had always looked down on the Winstons.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>966\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+10 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Every time he saw him as a kid, Troy would never miss a chance to call him the Winston Family\u2019s bastard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Draven had guts. He\u2019d never told their grandfather about any of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That was exactly why Troy hated Draven so much.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Draven never cared about anything, not even Troy\u2019s insults.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>From childhood to now, Draven had never taken Troy sqriously-not even once.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So seeing Draven\u2019s mood get turned stormy over Ayla just now was a real eye-opener for Troy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He finally realized something: Draven wasn\u2019t indifferent about him. While Troy was trying to get under his skin, Draven was doing the same thing back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That also made the whole situation about Ayla make a lot more sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>13:03 Thu, Jan 1 3 M\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 146 Why Do You Hate Troy So Much?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>966\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+10 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla was his wife, but also Draven\u2019s secretary. So, Draven was just using Ayla to get under his skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For three years, Ayla had always been obedient, never having her own opinions. For her to change so much in just a month, there had to be another reason.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The reason had to be Draven!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As long as Ayla\u2019s changes weren\u2019t really her own idea, Troy could accept them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Because he couldn\u2019t stand the way Ayla was now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chasing her all the way to Aqualith today was really out of character for Troy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But it was understandable. After all, Ayla had been his sweet, obedient wife for three years. Of course he\u2019d be surprised if she suddenly changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In Troy\u2019s mind, nothing had really changed. Ayla was just being influenced by Draven for now. So all he had to do was pull her back, and everything would go back to normal. Ayla loved him so much; she\u2019d definitely listen to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With that, Troy\u2019s uneasy heart finally settled.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Once he got Ayla back, everything would be just as it was!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla took Draven\u2019s private jet back to Trensea. Troy didn\u2019t rush up to stop her, probably because he cared about his pride.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Troy wasn\u2019t stupid. He knew even if he tried to stop her, she wouldn\u2019t leave with him. Making a scene would only embarrass him more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That was a relief for Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She just dreaded dealing with someone truly obsessive, who\u2019d make a huge fuss and refuse to accept reality.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After the flight, Ayla and Draven went back to their neighborhood together.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Once they got out of the elevator, they were supposed to go their separate ways,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla said, \u201cMr. Storm, goodbye.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Draven didn\u2019t move. He just stared at her, his eyes cold. \u201cAyla.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla tensed up. Draven\u2019s look was downright scary. She\u2019d already sensed on the plane that something was off with his mood, but she hadn\u2019t dared to ask.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her gut told her it had something to do with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla was a little nervous, afraid she\u2019d made him mad.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>13:03 Thu, Jan 1 MJ.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 146 Why Do You Hate Troy So Much?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy did Troy come find you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2968)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+10 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla didn\u2019t even have time to answer before Draven pressed her again, \u201cWas he there to spend your wedding anniversary with you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He fired another question. \u201cDid you two plan this together?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla replied, \u201cNo!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo? I saw you two having breakfast together. Ayla, are you sure about that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla realized Draven just didn\u2019t trust her. \u201cI already agreed to go to the courthouse on Monday for the divorce. I\u2019ll get the divorce decree then. I may even need to take the day off.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Draven\u2019s face softened a little, but his gaze was still dark and intense. That look felt so overwhelming, Ayla could barely breathe. \u201cI swear, I\u2019ll never go back to him, not ever!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla had already made her feelings clear before, and she didn\u2019t understand why she had to do it again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even she found it strange.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it was Draven\u2019s intimidating vibe. She just couldn\u2019t help it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about how Draven had looked after her in Aqualith, Ayla knew she couldn\u2019t just betray him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since Draven was upset because of Troy, it was time for her to calm him down.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Storm, are you upset because of Troy? Troy never mentioned you to me, and I don\u2019t know anything about what happened between you two. Can you tell me why you hate Troy so much?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Draven thought about the past and felt disgusted. \u201cI don\u2019t need a reason to hate him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, you just get mad whenever you see Troy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whatever. As long as it\u2019s not because of me!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Draven was speechless at the way her mind worked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel the same as you. I get mad when I see him, too. I yelled at him at the hotel.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>3\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>13:03 Thu, Jan 1 MS.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Editorial Board Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unwritten Feelings Drift by Austen 146 \u00a0 Chapter 146 Why Do You Hate Troy So Much?\u00a0 Chapter 146 Why Do [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-retired-from-your-heart-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24581"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24581\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
