Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 689

James was already used to Max's sarcastic tone. He raised an eyebrow and said, "You're staying here for the next few days. Don't even think about going anywhere."

He patted Max on the shoulder, his voice dripping with mock concern. "Max, I'm seriously considering having my aunt set you up with some blind dates, just so you can get married off soon and stop causing trouble for other women."

Max's smile only widened, his tone light but pointed. "Why are you so disrespectful of Ayla's choices? Aren't you supposed to be her friend? Ayla chose me, so you should support her. Why are you sabotaging me behind her back? That's pretty low, you know."

Max had been brought here by Draven's bodyguards and was essentially under house arrest. James was in charge of keeping an eye on him, so no one outside had any idea what was actually happening. To outsiders, it might even look like their relationship was improving.

James snorted, his skepticism clear. "I just don't trust your character. There's something to be said for first come, first served. I still think things between Ayla and Draven aren't over yet."

Max replied without missing a beat, "If you're talking about first come, first served, then you should be rooting for Ayla and Troy. Even your brother Draven would have to wait his turn."

James shot back, "That's a different story. Character matters more than anything."

Max fell silent for a moment, spreading his hands in mock exasperation. His eyes half-closed, he managed a sly, restrained smile. "James, you really are asking for a beating."

After Ayla hung up the phone, she turned her attention back to her computer. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, but her expression only darkened.

...

On the fifth day of Ayla's business trip, Troy finally found the address where Draven was hiding the children.

Garrett ran through the possibilities and quickly realized that sneaking past Draven's security and successfully taking the children was almost impossible.

The whole area was locked down tight, with multiple checkpoints even for staff. Even the world's top assassins couldn't manage to get two infants out.

But now that Troy had the location, he couldn't just sit around and do nothing. He stood up from the couch, determination hardening his features.

Garrett looked up. "What are you planning to do?"

Troy answered, "I'm going to take them by force. There's no room for games between me and Draven."
