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
Ava looked at the person sitting by the window of the restaurant from a distance. Then, her vision landed on that person’s bag on the chair.After staring for a while, Ava gradually understood something.She made an excuse and said that she wanted to eat the cream puffs from a certain shop that had gone viral online. She asked Daniel to buy them for her now. Daniel felt that Ava was trying to send him away, but he figured that she had her reasons, so he did not ask any more questions. He obediently went to buy the cream puffs for Ava.After she saw that Daniel was gone, Ava looked in that person’s direction and grabbed her phone to call Raegan.Raegan never thought that Ava would take the initiative to call her. She was so excited that she almost dropped her phone.She thought that she could finally chat with Ava, but Ava just said a few quick words before hanging up the phone.Raegan was stunned for a moment while holding the phone. Then, she came back to her senses.After Ava
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
