Chapter 127: Chapter 127

Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee Chapter 127 Chapter 127 The Punishment of Gavyn “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Steve has always been easygoing with Aylin, never excessively prying even when curious, and he immediately agreed.

As they spoke, he discreetly glanced back over his shoulder.

The road behind the car was empty and desolate, with no sign of any vehicles following.

Steve couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on. His grandson was great in every aspect, except when it came to matters of the heart, he seemed to be missing a few brain cells. This was the perfect time for him to drive over and follow up!

Silly boy!

Steve sighed inwardly.

In the end, he glanced at Alfred in the back seat and gave him a subtle signal.

Alfred had been serving Steve for many years, and he immediately understood that Steve was asking him to send a message to Gavyn.

Alfred nodded, immediately took out his phone, and started taking action.

Aylin’s driving skills were excellent, fast and steady. In no time, they arrived at the Delacruz’s home.

The red convertible slowly came to a stop at the entrance, and at the same time, Gavyn’s black sedan followed closely behind.

Just now, Alfred suddenly sent him a message, relaying that Aylin had something to tell him.

He didn’t have time to think too much. Immediately, he stepped on the gas, rushing forward like a horse with added speed, even surpassing his mother and sister who had set off earlier.

Gavyn felt as if he were bewitched.

Haleigh and Carmen were still on the road, and they could never have imagined that Gavyn, who sped past them, was doing so for Aylin.

Aylin was the first to get out of the car. She personally opened the door for Steve and helped the elderly man out. “Grandpa Steve, come on, be careful.”

Gavyn was about to help on the other side, but Steve coldly snorted and pushed him away, “You just stand there and reflect on your mistakes. Aylin and I still have things to discuss.”

Today, Steve was already extremely irritated, so naturally, Gavyn wouldn’t dare to defy him any further. As a result, he retracted the leg he was about to step forward with.

As if she hadn’t seen him, Aylin carefully helped Steve up the steps.

She wore a luxurious halter-neck midi dress that gracefully flowed around her, the soft fabric clinging to her shoulders and neck, accentuating the elegant lines of her back. Her raven hair cascaded like a waterfall, shimmering with magnificent hues under the sunlight. Even from behind, her figure swayed with an enchanting allure, a beauty beyond description.

That was a beauty that left Gavyn speechless.

Not only was it shocking, but now, there was not even a trace of the past to be found in Aylin.

This was the first time he had seen Aylin since learning her true identity, and this was the real her. The elegance and grace of the Koch family’s young lady were beyond the beautiful words rumored to describe her.

And this person, once loved him deeply.

Gavyn’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, his expression quite complex.

Aylin paid no attention to him and, supporting Steve, slowly stepped over the threshold.

“Grandpa Steve, how are you feeling? Did you get dizzy from sitting in the front of the car just now?”

Steve chuckled, “I’m fine. But what about you? You came all this way just for me, running around everywhere. Aren’t you tired?”

Aylin smiled faintly and said, “I’m not that delicate, I can still walk a few steps. Just don’t be so impulsive again, or my heart really won’t be able to take it.”

The two of them were chatting and laughing as they reached the couch. Steve took the lead and said, “Aylin, please have a seat.”

Alfred was very perceptive and knew that the two had something to discuss. He turned around and went to make coffee.

“Aylin, you seem to have lost quite a bit of weight since I last saw you. What have you been so busy with lately? It must be really tough,” Steve said, clearly concerned for Aylin after not seeing her for a long time.

“I’m busy with some work-related matters.”

Aylin subconsciously touched her face, smiling brightly, “Have I lost a lot of weight? Actually, It’s not too bad. I’ve been eating three meals a day normally, so don’t worry, Grandpa Steve.”

“How can I be at ease when you’re not by my side?”

Steve sighed, “I won’t beat around the bush anymore. Aylin, you should know why I’m asking, right?

I saw the news about you and Gavyn. That boy is foolish, but Aylin, you’ve always been the most. obedient and sensible one.

Tell your grandfather, why do you want to divorce? Was it because that boy forced you to?”

“Aylin pursed her lips, “Grandpa Steve...”

Steve took a sip of the coffee Alfred handed to him, his expression serious. “I haven’t contacted you recently because I didn’t want to bother you while you were busy. Gavyn, that stubborn kid, won’t say anything. So today, just lay it all out for me.”

Aylin lowered her eyes gently.

About that past, there were too many painful memories that she was unwilling to mention and couldn’t elaborate on. So she simply said, “It’s nothing much, just that we were emotionally incompatible, and naturally, the marriage couldn’t be sustained.”

Steve clearly didn’t believe it, “Emotional discord? I’ve seen firsthand how much you liked and cared for Gavyn. How could you suddenly have no feelings for him?”

He handed a cup of coffee to Aylin, the steam rising and swirling like a misty white fog, blurring their vision.

“Hmph, I know, it’s because Laila caused trouble, right?” he added.

Aylin’s eyebrows twitched, but she didn’t respond.

Recalling how that brat had previously talked back to him and acted stubbornly over a woman he didn’t even think highly of, Steve still felt infuriated whenever he thought about it.

He slammed the table hard, feeling that even making Gavyn stand outside was too lenient.

He should be made to kneel!

“I knew it was that vixen! I’ve told Gavyn, that rascal, to stay far away from that woman, but he just won’t listen!”

“Instead of cherishing his virtuous wife, he actually fancies that kind of woman! It’s just... it’s just infuriating! And now, look at the mess he’s made, expecting me to clean it up for him!”

Upon seeing Steve’s growing anger, Alfred hurried over to him, patting his back to help him calm down. “Old Mr. Delacruz, Old Mr. Delacruz, please don’t get too worked up.”

Aylin went over to help, “Grandpa Steve, it’s all in the past now. Don’t take it too much to heart. Hurting your own health isn’t worth it.”

Steve clutched his chest, panting heavily, “I’m so frustrated! How could this kid be so blind!”

As he spoke, Steve reached out and tightly grasped Aylin’s hand. His thin, bony hand was covered in blue veins.

“Aylin, Grandpa knows you’ve been wronged. I’ll definitely teach that brat a lesson for you! He may not be good at judging people, but as my grandson, I still know him well.

That child has principles when it comes to doing things. No matter what, he wouldn’t betray his family while being married. The issue between you two is caused by that troublemaker named Laila.’

What was said was indeed true.

Even though Gavyn hadn’t been particularly good to her during those three years, he hadn’t indulged in a wild lifestyle either, always maintaining his integrity and self-discipline.

Aylin gently held Steve’s hand and whispered with a smile, “I know that, and I believe in you, Grandpa Steve.”

“Look, there’s no way Laila is getting through my door now, and Gavyn will cut ties with her too. You don’t have to worry about her bothering you anymore.”

Steve sat up a little straighter, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. “Grandpa will stand up for you, and no one in the family will dare to bully you again. Aylin, are you willing to rekindle your past relationship with Gavyn?”
