The atmosphere in the car was quiet and heavy. Yakira couldn't help but glance at Brayden at her side. It was the first time they had ridden in the same car. How pathetic. During their three years of marriage, they had never ridden in the same car. Brayden had never allowed her to get in his car. Once, he was drunk, and she went to pick him up. It was 2:00 a.m., and he left her on the side of the road, asking her to hail a cab back herself. But there were no cabs at that hour. It took her an hour to walk back home. On that night, she came to know how cold a winter night was. For the first time in her life, she knew how terrified she could be. Chapter 20 The Lovey-Dovey Couple Just then, she habitually wanted to hail a cab, but Brayden forcibly stuffed her into his car. She had thought she knew Brayden to a certain extent. But now she realized she didn't know him at all. Everything had changed during the past five years. Including Brayden. "Enjoying what you're seeing?" Brayden's cold, clear voice rang out, snapping Yakira back to reality. She hastily turned her head to look outside the window. She couldn't believe she had been staring at him in a trance. Out of the corner of his eye, Brayden glanced at her, his cold gaze unfathomable. Yakira was curious about why he was taking her back to the Blanchard's villa. But she didn't ask him. Because she knew she didn't get to choose. A call from Brayden would ruin Conrad's studio and Sharlene's Chapter 20 The Lovey-Dovey Couple treatment. The car came to a stop at the entrance of the Blanchard's villa. Looking at the place that was utterly familiar to her, Yakira was overwhelmed by indescribable emotions. She used to stand at this very spot every day, waiting for Brayden to come back. She had yearned for stealing one glance at him, which was her only chance to see him in an entire day. Though he had never even glanced at her, she was already content. She, the noble heiress of the Wilkinson family, had discarded all her pride just to love him. "What are you waiting for? Shall I bow to invite you to step out?" Brayden frowned. Yakira averted her gaze, opened the door, and walked out of the car. "Mr. Brayden." Aaron strode forward. "Mr. Daron is awake." Chapter 20 The Lovey Dovey Couple Immediately, Brayden looked relieved. Yakira noticed the change in his expression, and her breath caught for a second. She thought, "That must be his son with Patricia. "I saw him getting into his car on the day outside Herschel's law firm. "He was holding a boy in his arms. "Back then, I only saw their backs. "But I could already tell how much he loves his son." "Wait here," Brayden said to her coldly before striding inside. She stood in place obediently. Up until now, she still had no idea why Brayden had taken her here. Aaron gawked at her, exclaiming, "Mrs. Blanchard?" Was he seeing things? "Aaron, it's been a while," Yakira greeted him politely. Back then, Aaron and the servants at the Blanchard's villa had been nice to her. They had never made things difficult for her just because of Brayden's cold attitude toward her. ས They had treated her with respect and politeness; thanks to them, her days here hadn't been that tough. Only then did Aaron know he wasn't dreaming. "It's really you, Mrs. Blanchard! You're back! This is great!" Daron could finally be cured. "Aaron, Brayden and I are divorced. From now on, you can call me Yakira," she smiled. She admitted she hadn't gotten over Brayden yet, and whenever she saw him, she'd always think of those three years uncontrollably. And she'd still be upset whenever she saw him and Patricia together. But she was no longer as persistent as she had been five years ago. She could tell others about their divorce calmly and naturally. She still had feelings for Brayden. But she'd never fawn over him and trample on her pride just in Chapter 20 The Lovey-Dovey Couple exchange for his pity. The smile on Aaron's face froze, and he said nothing more. Yakira was here? Through the window, Abel saw Yakira at the entrance and was very surprised. Then he nodded, understanding something when he recalled the conversation between Brayden and Ralph. He thought, "Bad Daddy got Mommy here. "He wants Mommy to stay with Daron. "Given this, Mommy won't be able to go back to Peraham. "She'll be thrilled to know Daron's alive, "But Bad Daddy won't let her take Daron away. "I know Bad Daddy is getting engaged to a woman named Patricia. "Though he doesn't admit it, I've looked into it and know she's been by his side all these years. "He abandoned Mommy because of her. Chapter 20 The Lovey-Dovey Couple " Now that he's asked Mommy to come here to take care of Daron, Mommy will be facing the lovey-dovey couple every day. "She'll be so sad. "What if Daron is cured one day? What will happen then? "Bad Daddy will ask Mommy to go, and she won't be able to leave Daron." As he was at a loss about what to do, Brayden pushed open the door and came in. "Daron." Abel turned around and looked at him with a frown. He thought, "Mommy's bought the tickets back to Peraham this afternoon. Now that she's here, there's gotta be only one reason -Bad Daddy forced her to come here. "Bad Daddy is so annoying." Oblivious to the change in Abel's expression, Brayden walked up to him and said, "Daron, you've always wanted to be with your mother, right? I brought her back. Would you like to see her?" Chapter 20 The Lovey-Dovey Couple He didn't directly lead Yakira to Daron. Ralph had said Daron couldn't handle any big emotional stress. He figured he should psych Daron up first. "No," Abel said coldly. His response surprised Brayden. Brayden knew exactly how badly Daron wanted to be with Yakira. How come he said no? He thought, "Daron went to see Yakira yesterday. "Did she say something to him? "Maybe his recent episode isn't because I forcibly took him back. Maybe she's the reason. "What the heck did she say to him?" "Daron, are you sure you don't wanna see her?" Brayden asked tentatively. He wanted an exact answer. "Yes." " Abel opped straight onto the bed, not wanting to talk to him anymore. In fact, Abel felt very bad. "Mommy, I'm sorry," he muttered in his heart. Sensing his emotions, Brayden said nothing more and walked out. Yakira stood outside the door for quite a while before Brayden walked out with a sullen face. "Yakira, what exactly did you say to Daron?" "Daron?" She was baffled. She must have heard the name before, but she couldn't place it. Was Daron Brayden's son with Patricia? "You can go." The confused look on her face somehow enraged Brayden. He thought, "Since Daron doesn't want to see her, there's no reason to keep her around any longer." Puzzled, Yakira asked, her tone accusatory, "Brayden, what the heck do you want?" Chapter 20 The Lovey-Dovey Couple He was the one who had asked her to come here, and now, he was driving her away. "Report to the company tomorrow, or Conrad can kiss his studio goodbye," Brayden said coldly before turning back inside. Yakira was utterly furious. She had to take a few deep breaths before calming herself down. "What exactly did you say to Daron?" Brayden's question echoed in her mind. Suddenly, the scene where he forcibly took Abel away in the apartment complex came back to her. Back then, the name Brayden said was Daron. Was Abel here at the Blanchard's villa?
