Ava looked like her mental health was doing much better. She greeted Madeline with a smile, “Maddie, you’re up. Pudding is so cute. I used to want to have a daughter when I got married, but I think having a son isn’t that bad either.” Madeline smiled when she heard that. “Then give birth to twins so that you can have a boy and a girl at the same time. However, just don’t complain about how hard it is to raise children when that happens.”“It’ll be hard work, but the hard work is worth it since children are so cute.”Ava smiled and teased the little boy in her arms. The smile on Ava’s face became much brighter when she saw the little boy chuckling.Madeline also felt very warm watching this scene. “That's right. You’ll feel joy every time you look at the baby who came out of you. As long as the child is well, we, as parents, will feel that the tiredness and hard work are all worth it.”After Madeline said that, the smile on Ava's face changed slightly.She was still smiling, but
Indeed, Raegan asked Madeline out to talk about this. She knew that it would be hard for her to talk to Ava now, so maybe it would be better to do things through Madeline.However, recalling the scene at that time, Raegan still had an indescribable sense of guilt in her heart.Madeline saw the torment and regret in Raegan's eyes. After thinking for a moment, she parted her lips and asked, “Last night, Ava told me while crying that you admitted that you deliberately abandoned her back then. But I’ve always felt that it’s not the case.”Upon hearing this, Raegan sighed in remorse before she started speaking, “Ava is right. It’s true that I deliberately left her alone on the streets. I was even standing in the corner, watching how helpless she was. I just left without turning back.”Madeline was surprised by Raegan's answer.Was it really intentional?Madeline’s heart ached for Ava.No wonder Ava was so sad and disdainful. Which child could accept being abandoned by their biologica
Raegan immediately felt much more at ease, and she was very grateful to Madeline for her love for Ava.In the company, Ava wanted to concentrate on her design but was a little distracted.After seeing that Ava was feeling so down, Maisie decided to buy Ava a cup of milk tea.Whenever a girl was unhappy, drinking some milk tea would immediately change her mood. This was a kind of metaphysics.Maisie thought to herself and was about to order delivery, but as soon as she turned on her phone, there were suddenly two cups of milk tea on her desk.She looked back in astonishment and saw Tom raising the corners of his lips into a faint smile.“This is your afternoon tea. Go share it with your colleagues.”Maisie opened her mouth and hesitated. There were just two cups, so how could she share them with her colleagues?They were clearly for her and Ava, right?As if he could read Maisie’s mind, Tom pointed to the door of the office. “The rest of the delivery is on the way. You can drin
She initially had something she wanted to ask him, but now that she was sitting in his car, Ava did not know how to start the conversation.She looked at the cars coming and going outside the car window. A burst of desolation suddenly surged in her heart.“If I guessed correctly, you agreed to get in my car because you want to ask me something, right?” Suddenly, Tom broke the silence in the car.Ava came back to her senses and looked at the man who was driving.Tom looked sideways with a faint smile. He looked very gentlemanly and warm.Ava nodded without denying it. “Yes, I do want to ask you about something.”“Is it about Dr. Long?” Tom asked very directly.There was a hint of surprise in Ava's eyes. It was as if she was surprised that Tom had read her mind.“It was just a guess.”Tom opened his mouth to say that before continuing.“I ran into Dr. Long when I drove you to the apartment near the company. At that time, I thought you looked a lot like him, and both of you have
Ava paused. She immediately understood what Tom had in his mind.She let out a wistful sigh, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.“My parents abandoned me when I was very young, but recently, they’ve found me one after another.”After Ava said that, they coincidentally came to a red light.The car stopped. Tom looked back at Ava with slight shock and regret in his eyes.“If this is true, I really have a hard time believing that a talented person like Dr. Long would make such a serious mistake when he was young. Could this be a misunderstanding?”“I don't think so.” Ava denied it. “I asked them in person if they willingly abandoned me back then and they admitted it.”After hearing Ava's answer, Tom's eyes were still filled with uncertainty.“Perhaps sometimes what we see with our own eyes is not the truth.”“But it's a fact that they didn’t want me.”After hearing what Ava said, Tom did not know what else to say.He stopped mentioning it again to avoid making
Madeline took the invitation card from Jeremy suspiciously. After opening it, she saw that the name on the invitation letter was someone she didn't know. However, the contents of the invitation letter surprised Madeline.“Dan is going to marry Naya?”Jeremy frowned. “I saw this invitation letter when someone else was reading it. Judging from Naya’s arrogant and proud behavior, she probably doesn’t want any unforeseen complications. That’s probably why she didn’t invite us or Ava.” “She definitely wants to nip this in the bud so it’ll be too late for us to do anything after this. Even if Dan regains his memory, there’s no way to change the fact that he and Naya are married.” Madeline exposed Naya’s dirty tricks.Jeremy thought so too. He looked in front of him and saw that Ava was playing with Pudding.“Linnie, are you going to tell Ava about this?”Madeline looked at Ava who had a smile on her face and shook her head. “I'm going to go see Naya.”“Linnie, I'll go with you.”“No
Naya was trying on a wedding gown in the bridal shop. After receiving the call from Daniel's mother, she immediately drove back.She was worried that Madeline would tell Daniel something negative about her. She did not want anything to go wrong at this crucial time.Back in the house.Daniel asked Madeline to sit down, then asked the servant to bring them some tea and snacks.“You're Ava's friend, Eveline.” Daniel looked at Madeline. It sounded as if he was confirming their relationship.Madeline smiled slightly. “Dan, you're right. I'm Ava's friend, but I'm also your friend. We've always been good friends.”Daniel pondered thoughtfully as if he was digesting the information Madeline had just given him. “Do you have no memory of the past at all?”Daniel looked up and shook his head gently. “It seems that something is blocking the nerves to the part of my brain that’s associated with memory, so I can't remember anything about the past. I have to think hard about it, but it’ll c
Naya was trying on wedding gowns at a bridal shop near Graham Manor, so it did not take much time for her to get there. Moreover, she was speeding all the way, so she arrived quickly.Madeline heard the footsteps and looked back. When she saw Naya's hurried expression, she raised her pink lips slightly. “Miss Mendez, you came so quickly. Were you afraid that if you delayed for even a second, I would ruin your meticulous plans?”Naya's face sank, but since Daniel was here, she knew that she had to put on an act.She immediately responded with an aggrieved expression, “Mrs. Whitman, I really don't understand what you mean by that. I know you and Ava are very good friends, but this is not how you should help your friend. You can't slander me again and again.”In the face of Naya's fake disguise, Madeline only gave her a cold look with an unwavering expression.“Naya, your acting skills are really superb. You can do one thing in front of others and do something completely different th
