Chapter 156 The Truth He Never Saw\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back then, Troy felt like he had pulled a whole moon out of the ocean.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That moon brought a cool breeze with it, sweeping away his irritation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After that, he took her to the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had saved a life, so his mood that day was surprisingly good.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Troy mocked, \u201cWhat else could you expect? I\u2019m not the kind of person who would stand there and watch someone die.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He gave a mocking laugh. \u201cDon\u2019t tell me that\u2019s the reason you fell for me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla knew he looked down on her feelings, but she didn\u2019t deny it. \u201cYeah. I fell for you the moment I saw you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you that before. Did you forget?\u201d Ayla almost laughed. Troy had never cared about anything she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But since they were already talking about the past and he wasn\u2019t brushing her off for once, Ayla kept going. \u201cYou sent me to the hospital that day. Why didn\u2019t you just leave? Why did you wait for me to wake up?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy looked disgusted. \u201cBecause you grabbed my hand and wouldn\u2019t let go. I tried to pull away and\u00a0<\/p>\n
couldn\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that\u2019s why.\u201d Ayla understood everything now. She glanced at him,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even when he talked about the past, he acted like he\u2019d been dragged through something filthy. Ayla didn\u2019t feel sad anymore. \u201cI guess it was all in my head.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy pressed his lips together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks for telling me the truth,\u201d she said, \u201cNow I can really see things clearly. But you did save my life, and I\u2019ll remember that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy was about to say he didn\u2019t care.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla said it for him. \u201cI know you don\u2019t. But I\u2019m not as cold as you. It matters to me. That\u2019s enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s chest tightened, as if something inside him got yanked hard. For a second, he couldn\u2019t breathe. He had this strange feeling-like he had missed something important. Something he shouldn\u2019t have let slip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But he quickly told himself this reaction was normal. They were about to get divorced. None of his divorced friends were truly calm when it happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even if he didn\u2019t love Ayla, feeling off wasn\u2019t strange.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Troy steadied himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He told himself he wouldn\u2019t respond no matter what she said next.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Ayla didn\u2019t say anything at all. They reached the courthouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After parking the car, they got out and stood in line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And when their turn came, Troy learned that Ayla had come to file for divorce a month ago with the divorce paper. Back then-on that very day-she had already made up her mind to never look back. And at that time, Draven hadn\u2019t even returned yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy pressed his lips into a thin line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReason for divorce?\u201d the officer asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla answered calmly, \u201cIrreconcilable differences.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The officer looked at Troy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s expression was full of impatience. \u201cJust hurry up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The officer had no words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man was handsome in a sharp, intimidating way. He had that proud look, chin slightly lifted, eyes empty, as if he never felt anything at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The woman beside him was cold and quiet, showing neither sadness nor joy. Together, they didn\u2019t look like a couple whose love had fallen apart. They looked like two people who never had any love to begin with still water, completely still.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The officer checked the papers. \u201cTroy Winston and Ayla Keaton?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy didn\u2019t even glance her way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The officer didn\u2019t bother asking the usual question-are you sure? Normally she would. Sometimes couples came in angry but still cared about each other. But these two? The man was too cold, the woman too done. Honestly, divorce seemed like freedom for both.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She handed them the divorce form. Ayla finished hers quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy glanced at her once, then wrote his name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the officer collected the form and their marriage certificate, the process was down to the final step- printing their divorce certificate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It only took a few minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They waited in silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Troy didn\u2019t know why his mind drifted back to that day at the airport. That day, after Ayla bit and bit him in a moment of anger, she had slammed the brakes, jumped out of the car before he could react, and stood outside staring at him with cold eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He remembered the tears-held in, stubborn, refusing to fall. She had been so stubborn, even in anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she flagged down a cab heading back to the airport. When she turned away, he thought he saw a tear slip down her cheek and fall to the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy had no idea why this memory suddenly hit him again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before he could stop himself, he asked, \u201cHave you ever cried for me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He thought of Laura crying because Ayla left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla didn\u2019t expect the question.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course she had cried. Many times. But the words died in her throat, and she let out a cold laugh. \u201cNever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A spark of anger exploded in Troy\u2019s chest. He tried to swallow it like always-but he couldn\u2019t. He was furious. His glare locked onto her. \u201cYou said you loved me! How could you never cry for me? You show up to divorce without even getting emotional. This is what you call love?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Other couples waiting nearby had red eyes. Some women were crying nonstop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not Ayla. She looked like she couldn\u2019t wait to divorce him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
