Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 646

Most of the time, Ayla was strong. But Draven had been lucky. He had happened to find the one moment when her strength faltered, and he had slipped in through that small crack.

When Kayla fell silent, Ayla spoke softly. "Thank you."

Ayla knew she had been fortunate in life. Many of the elders she had met treated younger people with patience and care. Maybe people who had seen more of the world simply had bigger hearts and more understanding.

Kayla smiled. When she smiled, her beautiful face became even more striking. "But young people should be given a chance," she said calmly. "I came here because of this."

Ayla blinked, confused. The comment didn't seem to connect with the earlier conversation. She was about to ask what Kayla meant, but Kayla didn't explain. Instead, Kayla looked into her eyes. "What lovely eyes," Kayla said slowly. "So cool and clear. I really like them."

Her thoughts drifted far into the past. When Kayla was young, someone had once tried to assassinate her. She had brushed against death many times. During one of those moments, someone had saved her life. But when she woke up later, she remembered only one thing. A pair of calm, distant eyes. She had never seen the person's face. Afterward, she used every connection and resource she had to search for them, but she never found any trace.

The people who wanted her dead had wiped away every clue. In the end, the one who saved her simply disappeared from her life.

Ayla's eyes reminded Kayla of the unknown person who had once saved her life. Kayla had never learned that person's name, but she always thought of them as an old acquaintance. Deep down, she believed that if they had truly met, they would have understood each other right away. Even now, Kayla sometimes dreamed of that moment. In the dream, she was lying in a pool of blood, barely conscious. The only thing she could see was that pair of calm eyes. Those eyes seemed to encourage her, telling her to stay strong and not give up.

At that point in her life, when she was close to death, it was one of the rare moments when Kayla had wanted to rely on someone. And that someone was a stranger whose face she had never even seen.

The first time Kayla met Ayla, she felt a strange sense of familiarity. But Ayla looked far too young, so Kayla never connected her with the person who had once saved her.

After that, Ayla simply walked with Kayla around the garden. Before long, they ran into Eric, who had come looking for them.

Eric dared not meet Kayla's eyes. His hands even trembled slightly from nervousness. At that moment, Ayla finally understood why Kayla had praised her earlier for being so calm.

Since Kayla and Eric had old grudges between them, it wasn't appropriate for Ayla to stay. She said a quick goodbye and left first.

Kayla watched Eric without the slightest trace of old affection in her eyes.

Eric thought Kayla would speak first and ask why he was there. But Kayla had no intention of saying anything.

"So, why are you here?" Eric finally asked, looking extremely awkward.

Kayla glanced at him. "Of course I came for Draven."
