Ava laughed self-deprecatingly again, tears slipping silently from the corners of her eyes.Madeline looked very distressed. She wanted to comfort Ava, but then she heard Ava sarcastically saying, “My parents are both so capable. How great of them! But I can’t even see my boyfriend. It’s ridiculous, so ridiculous…”While talking, Ava picked up the glass again and wanted to drink.Madeline hurriedly reached out her hand to stop her. “Ava, stop drinking. Drinking too much will hurt your health.”“But I'm so sad now…” Ava cried out, “Maddie, have a drink with me. I want to forget those unhappy things for a while.”After hearing what Ava said, Madeline's heart ached. Then, she slowly let go.Sometimes, drinking was not necessarily a bad thing. At least, it could make people forget all their troubles temporarily. It was not a bad thing.She had stopped breastfeeding her son, so Madeline raised the glass with confidence.Just before drinking, she messaged Jeremy.Ava was in a very b
Madeline glanced at the clock on the nightstand. “Um, it's almost noon.”“What? It's so late? Oh no!” Ava seemed to be refreshed all of a sudden. She did not care about her headache anymore as she reached out and grabbed the clothes that Madeline was hanging over before running into the bathroom to take a shower.“Ava, slow down. You just woke up.” Madeline reminded her.“I know. I won't make you worry,” Ava replied loudly.Madeline also turned around and went downstairs to prepare chicken soup and breakfast for Ava to sober up.After taking a shower, Ava looked a lot more energetic. Madeline then learned that Ava had asked Daniel to see a doctor today.The doctor was Ava's biological father, Neil.“I have to hurry up and look for Danny after eating. Danny should have left home by now. Maddie, can you drive me there in a while?” Ava said while wolfing down her food.Madeline smiled lightly. “You dummy. Of course, I'll take you there. Eat slowly and don't choke.”“I can’t. I ca
This voice that was filled with arrogance and haughtiness was all too familiar to Ava.Ava clenched her fist, knowing that her plan today was ruined. She took a deep breath, recomposed herself, and turned around with an indifferent face.Naya was dressed beautifully and carrying an expensive handbag. She stood in front of Ava arrogantly.“Ava, this is the last time I'm warning you. Stop approaching my fiancé again.”“Heh.” Ava could not help sneering. “Fiancé? Naya, you’re so shameless.”Ava immediately replied sarcastically, causing Naya's face to sink.“Ava, you…”“What? Naya, you know exactly who Dan's fiancée is. You're taking advantage of Dan's amnesia and you want to instill him with memories that aren’t true at all. Listen to me, it's useless. Sooner or later, Dan will remember everything.”After hearing this, Naya gritted her teeth in disapproval. However, the next second, she showed a sinister and smug smile again.“Yes, you're right. Dan’s memory loss won’t last fo
After warning Madeline, Naya started to walk away without stopping. It was as if she was afraid that Madeline would see through her if she was any slower.However, Madeline already knew the truth. It was just that it was covered by a veil. “Judging from her arrogant appearance, I think she’s quite sure that the thug who took the blame for her won't expose her.” Ava walked over slowly.Madeline then turned around and handed the phone to Ava. “Ava, you should call Dan first and ask where he is.”“I don’t think that’s necessary anymore.” Ava sighed with a smile. “Naya’s appearance means that Dan won’t be able to meet me anymore. All of this is Naya's fault.”“If that’s the case, I think it’s necessary to find evidence of Naya's crime as soon as possible.” Madeline's expression also became a little more serious. “The previous evidence couldn’t be established because the thug who took Chloe's money suddenly pleaded guilty. It must mean that someone had talked to him.”Ava seemed to h
Daniel's mother knew that something was up when she looked into Naya’s eyes.“What do you have in mind?” Daniel's mother asked curiously.Naya averted her gaze and made sure that Daniel had gone upstairs. She then got close to Daniel's mother and spoke in a low voice.“Mrs. Graham, Dan thinks I'm engaged to him now, so we'll use this to our advantage and set a wedding date. As long as Dan and I are married, it's useless even if Ava makes a fuss.”After listening to Naya's suggestion, Daniel's mother seemed hesitant.She had her own plans in mind. The reason she agreed to let Daniel date Ava back then was because she knew that Ava's mother was the richest person in F Country.It was certainly a good thing to have a wealthy in-law.However, Daniel had gotten into a car accident, and with Old Master Graham's nagging, Daniel's mother had started to blame Ava again. In contrast, she felt that Naya was more suitable for Daniel.At least, relatively speaking, Naya was more obedient to
In the room, Raegan and Neil sat facing each other. They stared at the food on the table, but they did not start eating even after a long time.“Ava must have heard everything we said here that day.” Raegan broke the silence.Neil sighed lightly. “I think so too. Ava already knew that I was her biological father at the time. She didn't say anything because she probably didn't know how to face me.”As he spoke, Neil met Raegan's gaze guiltily.“Your relationship with Ava had turned for the better, but my appearance has made your relationship stiff again. I really don't know what to do to ease the current situation…”“Don't blame yourself too much.” Raegan comforted him. “Ava is hard on the outside but soft on the inside. In fact, that child has a very kind heart. She usually looks like she’s carefree, but she’s extraordinarily attentive and gentle.”Raegan said with a tinge of pride on her face.“I'm really honored to have such a sensible, kind, hard-working, and motivated daught
Ava suddenly went straight to the topic. Raegan and Neil were frozen for a moment. After the two exchanged glances, they both lowered their eyes silently. They seemed to blame themselves and feel regretful over it, but at the same time, they did not know how to start explaining.Their reactions made Ava even more puzzled. “I’ve been alone for so many years. Every time I saw other students being picked up by their parents when I went to school and came back, it puzzled me why my parents abandoned me.” What Ava said made Raegan and Neil contemplate even more. They then fell into deeper remorse.“Over the years, I really hated you two and never had the thought of reconciling with you. Why did you abandon me when you wanted to and then acknowledge me again when you felt like it? I feel like a toy that comes and goes as you please.”“No, Ava. How could that be? How can you be a toy? You’re the apple of your father’s and my eyes,” Raegan hurriedly explained. That strong woman who was a
Did the event of that year count as deliberate abandonment?Perhaps, it did.Madeline wanted to leave after she sent Ava back to the apartment. However, she got a call from Jeremy, so she started talking on the phone with him. Unexpectedly, she saw Ava running out of the apartment while sobbing after a while.Madeline quickly hung up the call with Jeremy and ran to Ava after getting out of the car.“Ava!”Ava did not think that Madeline would still be here. However, when she heard Madeline’s voice at this moment, the grievances in her heart poured out immediately.“Maddie!”Ava quickly ran into Maddie’s arms and started crying.“Ava, what happened? Why are you crying so badly?” Madeline felt her heart tightening. “What happened? Is your mother not home? Or did she tell you an answer you didn’t want to hear?”“They admitted that they weren’t at all concerned when they purposely left me on the streets back then!” Ava yelled as she bawled. “They deliberately abandoned me!”Madel
