Max’s voice was calm and unwavering. “When I confessed my feelings to you, it wasn’t on a whim. I’d already weighed every consequence in my mind.”

Ayla felt the certainty in his words. People like them, no matter how gentle they appeared on the surface, always revealed a steely decisiveness when it mattered. Most days they could be warm and easygoing, but when pushed, their strength always shone through.

She and Max had been talking for ages, and Ayla found herself genuinely enjoying his company.

There was a magic in being listened to by a handsome man-each word from him felt like a subtle spark. Just sitting beside him made the world seem a little lighter, a little brighter. It would be difficult for anyone to resist Max’s charm.

The more they talked about his past attempts to win her over, the more Ayla knew she ought to be touched.

But she couldn’t fool herself. The longer their conversation went on, the more she realized Max was simply a friend in her heart.

What she truly longed for was Draven, not the man sitting across from her now.

But Draven was back in Zheron, destined to become the next power in his family’s empire. He was far away-untouchable, unreachable.

All Ayla could do was throw herself into motherhood and force herself to forget Draven as quickly as possible.

Max was meant to be the perfect distraction, the bridge to help her move on.

And in every way, he was perfect for the role.

But forgetting someone so completely, so quickly, was impossible.

She had to take it one day at a time. Being with Max might not make her pulse race, but his company was a balm-soothing and genuinely pleasant. When you felt good around someone, it was easier to forget the ache of old wounds.

Ayla truly did like spending time with Max. He knew how to make her laugh, and she could sense that his patience and kindness were real, not just an act.

If she could keep filling her days with this kind of happiness, maybe she really could start a new life.

Besides, she was single. If she wanted to have a little fun with Max, who could say anything about it?

Max, ever attentive, said, “When I found out you had kids, I even started studying how to take care of children. I guess my efforts are finally being rewarded.”

“You’re so much better than Troy ever was,” Ayla replied honestly. “You’re a really good person.”

Max’s eyes lit up at her words. “Ayla, I wish I’d met you sooner… but I’m grateful for what I have now.”

He was content with little, happy with the present.

It was late.

Ayla went to wash up and get ready for bed.

Chapter 668 Confession

Max, having traveled here just to confess, had booked the room next to hers. After he showered, he came by again.

He offered to give her a shoulder and neck massage.

Max was, in fact, exceptionally good at taking care of people. His hands found every knot, applying just the right pressure.

Ayla closed her eyes, but her mind filled with thoughts of Draven. That was the hardest part-how wonderful it would be if heartbreak could be erased the moment you broke up. But reality was never that easy.

She drifted off to sleep like that.

Max saw how exhausted she was and felt a rush of tenderness. He was about to leave when Ayla suddenly caught his wrist in her sleep. He looked down and, as he leaned in, heard her mumbling in her dreams.

All he could make out was the word “Draven.”

For a moment, his face froze. But then he understood.

She was mistaking him for Draven.

Max wasn’t like Troy, who couldn’t bear to lose what he’d once possessed.

Max had never had Ayla, so every moment with her felt precious-something to be cherished, even if she was dreaming of someone else. As long as he could be by her side, he still counted himself lucky.

He realized why Ayla wanted to have fun with him.

She was trying to forget Draven.
