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
“Hey, isn't this the bag that I wanted to buy recently but don’t have the money for? Fiona, did you get a raise recently? You can actually afford this bag? It's so hard to buy this bag too. Even Mr. Lowe’s sister said that she couldn’t find anyone to help her buy this bag. Fiona, you’re really capable!”Ava kept complimenting Fiona until goosebumps appeared on her skin.She knew that Fiona was more embarrassed and uncomfortable than her at this moment.On the other hand, the man did not know what was going on, so when he heard Ava complimenting Fiona, he also complimented her.“Miss Channing, you’re indeed really capable. You’re upright and independent. A good woman like you is really hard to find.”After Fiona was praised like that, she felt even more anxious.She thought she was able to bag this rich man, but she did not expect Ava to appear so suddenly. She was afraid that Ava would see through her.“Hehehe.” Fiona forced a smile, lifting the corners of her mouth. Then, she d
Ava directly pointed out that there was something wrong with the origin of this bag and affirmed that there was a problem with Fiona's integrity. As a result, Fiona naturally could not keep her cool and immediately blew up in a fit of rage.“Ava, you’re doing this on purpose!”The man opposite could not watch this anymore. He started accusing Ava as well. “Aren’t you going a bit too far? It's normal for colleagues to have disagreements but why are you holding grudges? Miss Channing and I are on a date right now. Do you have any manners? Besides, Miss Channing has the ability. Isn't this just a bag? Do you think she can’t afford it?”The man was siding with Fiona. Evidently, he was fond of Fiona's hypocritical character.Ava did not care that the man being deceived was making a lot of complaints about her. She calmly looked at Fiona, whose face had turned pale with anger.“Fiona, I don't want to argue with you. Facts speak louder than words.” Ava did not utter a single word of no
After saying the last sentence, Ava turned around and left decisively.“Ava!” Raegan hurriedly turned around and wanted to catch up with Ava, but she turned back just after she started walking. Her piercing eyes were domineeringly glaring at Fiona.“Actually, I could see through the motives and schemes of people like you at first sight. If it weren't because I wanted to learn more about Ava's life, people like you wouldn't even have gotten a chance to talk to me. However, you were actually ballsy enough to take this bag that costs six digits to keep it for yourself. I’ll take legal measures regarding this matter. Just wait for the police to come get you!”After Raegan finished speaking, she left the restaurant to chase after Ava.Fiona was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she heard the man's frustrated voice in her ears.“Fiona, it turns out that your colleague didn't accuse you wrongly just now. I didn't expect you to take other people's things and say that you bought the bag wit
