Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 890

A lot of things took time to settle.

The sadness Halle had been holding down only came rushing back after everything was finally handled.

Only then did she begin to feel the deep pain of losing someone so close.

Ayla had stayed with her for several days, but Halle knew she couldn't keep her there forever. If she asked, Ayla would definitely stay.

But Halle had to face this on her own.

So, she told Ayla she was fine and sent her home to rest.

The moment Ayla left, Halle felt terrible again. She needed something to distract herself.

That was when she thought of James.

She checked her phone to see if he had messaged her. Over the past few days, he hadn't shared much about his life. There were only one or two short check-in messages, and he said goodnight to her every day.

Just seeing those words made her emotions rise.

So, she sent him a message.

"Come keep me company."

She needed someone right now, so she said it directly.

James replied instantly. "I'm right downstairs. I'll come up now. Do you want anything to eat? I can bring it up."

Halle paused. "You've been here the whole time?"

She had been so busy these days that she hadn't gone back to her house on Norton Road. Instead, she stayed at another property that was closer.

Even though James no longer lived next door, he still knew where she was.

"Yeah. Luckily Ayla was with you, so I didn't want to bother you. But now you finally need me."

Halle was surprised. "You saw Ayla?"

"I just said hi to her. She was curious why I was here, so I told her I came to check on you. She didn't seem surprised at all. In fact, she looked like she wanted me to come see you. I guess she thinks I'm pretty reliable."

He somehow managed to compliment himself in a roundabout way.

Halle forced a small smile. She really didn't feel like smiling, but her mood lifted a little. "I want super sweet drinks and all kinds of cake."

"Got it."

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.

James had arrived.

When Halle opened the door, he didn't rush in. Instead, he stood there and looked her up and down, very openly, like he wanted her to know he was checking on her.
