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
She did not want her impression in Daniel’s heart which she had so painstakingly built since she was young to crumble now.When Madeline saw that Naya had stopped retorting arrogantly, she smiled in satisfaction.She did not talk to Naya anymore. Instead, she faced Daniel.“Dan, I think you already have an answer to who exactly is the one lying and putting on acts. I just want to tell you not to do anything that you’ll regret. Your amnesia is just temporary. You’ll remember everything soon. By then, you’ll also remember who you truly love.”After Madeline said that, she peered at Naya and turned around to leave carefreely. Madeline spotted Naya glaring at her with an extremely aggressive look.Madeline smiled calmly and arrogantly. “My dashcam didn’t capture anything, but the guilty party ended up revealing the truth with their silence.” “...” Naya finally realized that she had walked straight into Madeline’s trap. When she wanted to curse at Madeline, the woman had already le
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
