Ava's words shocked both Raegan and Daniel, who were standing by the side.Both of them thought that Ava would be heartless, but it turned out that she was not.Raegan froze for a few seconds before a look of surprise and joy appeared on her face. She had not felt so happy in years."Of course, I don't mind! I don't mind at all! I’m not busy tomorrow. Come and see me tomorrow when you're done with work! I can wait for you!”Raegan's voice was a little shaky, and she could not hide the joy flashing in her eyes."You guys should rest early, then. I’ll go back too. Daniel, take good care of Ava. I'll be leaving now.""Okay, take care, Mrs. Xander. I'll take care of Ava, don't worry," Daniel promised Raegan.He could clearly see how happy Raegan was.Even though Raegan's back was turned, he could see the spring in her steps.Ava stood at the same spot until Raegan was not in view anymore. After that, she withdrew her gaze, and her eyes quietly turned red.Daniel saw the subtle ch
When Ava got such a sure and sincere answer from Daniel, she could not hold back her tears any longer. She cried her heart out.Daniel lifted his hand and wiped away every one of her tears sadly.Before this, he did not know about Ava's past.Now, he understood why Ava had reacted the way she did to her own mother. It was because she was traumatized at a young age.However, he believed that this trauma would one day be healed.Daniel intended to stay with Ava, but in order to give her a good night's rest, Daniel did not stay late.When he returned home, he found his parents waiting for him in the living room.As soon as Mrs. Graham saw Daniel, she rushed over to him and pulled him to ask, "Is Ava really Raegan’s daughter? The same Raegan who’s the richest person in Y Country? Ava is her biological daughter? Why didn't you tell us about it? If you had told us, all this trouble could’ve been avoided.”Mrs. Graham started grumbling."If you had told us about Ava's family, your fa
Ava was holding her glass of water with a puzzled expression as she looked at the two people who were blocking her way. They were the two most gossipy women in her office. As Ava looked at them, it gradually dawned on her that they were there for something.Even so, she just looked at them with confusion and asked, "What is it? Do you girls want to go have breakfast with me?"As soon as Fiona and Kendra heard that, a flash of surprise lit up in both of their eyes."Sis, if you don't mind, we'd love to have breakfast with you!""Yeah, we'd love to, Sis!""..."When Ava heard how Fiona and Kendra addressed her, she felt goosebumps all over her body.She tried to smile but it just looked like an awkward and impolite fake smile."What are you gals doing here? It doesn't seem appropriate for you gals to call me ‘Sis’ when I joined the company later than you. I’m your junior.”After Ava said that, she walked around them and quickly headed straight for the pantry.Fiona and Kendra
Fiona and Kendra did not say anything. They returned to their seats and replayed the video from this morning.The more they watched it, the more envious and jealous they were.Why was Ava's background so exceptional? Furthermore, she also had an extremely wealthy mother. Just how rich was she?After Ava finished her breakfast, she did not care whether Fiona and Kendra were paying attention to her.She was busy with her own work, and when it was almost 12 o'clock, she received a text message from an unknown number.There was only a short sentence. [Ava, I’m downstairs at your company. You can come down when you’re free. I’ll always wait for you.]Ava looked at the text on the screen of her phone, and she was inexplicably touched.“Ava, it's almost lunchtime. Do you want to have lunch together?” Maisie walked over.Ava put away the phone and got up. “Maisie, I have an appointment with someone today.”“Oh? Is it with your super handsome boyfriend? No, no, he’s your fiance now.” M
It was evident that Raegan was trying to get closer to Ava, but Ava's reaction was still very cold. There was no change in the expression on her face. She just silently looked at the food on the table in front of her.Seeing that Ava did not want to talk to her, the smile on Raegan's lips gradually disappeared. “Ava…”“It’s better not to inherit some things.” Suddenly, Ava spoke.Raegan was slightly stunned. She looked at Ava in confusion, then she heard Ava continue speaking.“I don't want my children in the future to inherit your cold-blooded genes. I don’t want them to abandon their young children so ruthlessly and leave without even looking back.”As soon as she heard Ava's words, Raegan's heart seemed to be struck violently.However, no matter how painful or heavy the blow was, she could not blame or reproach anyone.All she could think of was how much harm she had done to her child when she left so resolutely.Her child should have had a carefree and happy childhood, but
Just when she was feeling upset, two people suddenly appeared beside her.Fiona and Kendra smiled and greeted Raegan with a friendly and amiable look.“Hello, are you Ava's mother? We’re Ava's colleagues.”Upon hearing this, Raegan immediately picked up a tissue and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. After that, she raised her sharp and piercing eyes.She glanced at Fiona and Kendra before her gaze softened.“You’re Ava’s colleagues?”“Uh-huh.” Fiona and Kendra nodded quickly. “We work in the same office as Ava. We usually have lunch together. Occasionally, we’d plan some activities too. Just now, she asked us to go out and eat first because she would be eating with others. I didn’t expect that we'd run into each other. We happen to be sitting at the next table. I’m sorry for overhearing your conversation.”“I see.”Raegan expressed her understanding. She was concerned about Ava and wanted to know more about some fragments and details of Ava's life. Hence, she d
When Ava asked this question, Raegan's face naturally popped into her mind.The only person she could think of was Raegan.Daniel also guessed this possibility. “I think it must be your mother. She really cares about you.”Ava smiled bitterly when she heard his words. “When I needed my parents’ care the most, they chose to abandon me. Now, I don't need these belated concerns anymore.”She said while meeting Daniel's gentle gaze.“Your care and love are enough for me now.”Daniel understood the meaning behind Ava’s words. He grabbed her hand tightly, and his eyes overflowed with love.In the following period, Ava would still receive various small items from time to time. She thought that they were from Raegan, but it was strange how Raegan would know exactly what she needed every time.Ava felt that Raegan might have arranged someone to observe her every move. She felt disgusted, but she did not have concrete evidence. She did not want to question Raegan either. Therefore, she b
Sure enough, just as Ava guessed, Fiona and Kendra reported the situation to Raegan as soon as possible.After Raegan learned about the bag that Ava liked, she asked the manager of a luxury store to obtain the bag as quickly as possible.After a while, Raegan sent the bag to Ava's company and asked Fiona to pick it up for her. She also asked Fiona to put it in Ava's cabinet before Ava went to work the next day.Fiona had accepted money from Raegan, so of course, she would need to serve Raegan well. However, when she got the bag, she was a little swayed.This bag was gorgeous, and the texture was so good. Most importantly, this bag was really valuable as it was a limited edition.As she thought about it and looked at it, Fiona's mind changed.She wanted to keep this bag for herself. She only needed to tell Raegan that she had given it to Ava because Raegan would never come to the office to verify it in person.After making the decision, Fiona quietly hid the bag.Ava thought tha
