Married by Mistake – Chapter 2141
Despite Madeline’s comfort, Ava still sighed sadly. She leaned her head on Madeline’s shoulder, the corners of her eyes started welling with tears without her knowing as the cold wind blew past her.
“Maddie, I don’t think it’s important whether two people have feelings for each other or not if they want to end up together.”
“How could that be?” Madeline did not understand why Ava said that. “A marriage without feelings is the most painful and saddest thing in the world. You have feelings for Dan. He’s such a gentle and considerate person too. I believe he’ll make you very happy.”
Ava raised the corners of her lips, pulling them into a regretful smile. “Yes, I also believe that Dan is a man who can bring happiness to his wife. However, his wife won’t be me.”
“Uhm..?”
Upon hearing this, Madeline’s expression changed drastically. She turned her head to look at Ava abruptly. “Ava, what do you mean by that? What happened between you and Dan?”
“He’s decided to marry his childhood sweetheart, Naya.”
“How did that happen?” Madeline had no idea what was going on.
Ava could not control herself and started sobbing softly, “Maddie, I really envy you. Although Jeremy was blinded by those bad people, leading him to ignore and hurt you, both of you still ended up together in the end.”
Ava suddenly said something that was pretty irrational. “I would rather be hurt by Dan severely too. As long as I can be with him in the end, I’d be willing to bear it.”
“Ava, what nonsense are you talking about?” Madeline took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ava’s eyes.
“Ava, so many things have happened to me recently and I never had the time to chat with you or go shopping with you. I don’t know what has happened between you and Dan. Why does he want to marry another woman all of a sudden? What’s going on? Don’t cry now, hush…”
As she listened to Madeline’s comforting words, Ava started crying even harder.
“Maddie…”
Ava suddenly hugged Madeline and burst into tears. Madeline quickly comforted her. She understood how Ava was feeling now.
The feeling of loving someone and being unable to have them was like having a fine net wrapped around one’s heart. She could still vaguely remember the suffocating breathlessness.
Madeline did not ask the reason anymore. Instead, she kept holding Ava to comfort her.
After a long time, Ava’s mood eased a lot. She wiped away her tears and then told Madeline the reason.
“Dan’s grandfather fell ill and is in a serious condition. He asked Dan to break up with me and said that he wanted to see Dan marry his childhood sweetheart Naya before he dies.”
“And Dan agreed?”
“Dan disagreed at first but he had no other choice.” Ava lowered her eyes in despair. “Maybe Dan and I are just not destined to end up together, or maybe, we’re just not meant for each other.”
“Don’t think that way, Ava. I believe Dan will not give you up for this reason and marry a woman he doesn’t love. The person he likes is you.” Madeline was very sure of Daniel’s character.
Moreover, no man would be willing to give up his beloved woman. Besides, Daniel had no reason to give up Ava because of her family or character.
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2142
“I know as well that Dan doesn’t want to give tip on me, but he’s really left with no other choice now.” Ava felt helpless.
As soon as she finished speaking, Daniel called. However, Ava merely looked at the screen of the phone and did not pick it up.
“Ava, answer the call.”
“I don’t know what to say.” Ava raised her head and sighed helplessly.
When Madeline saw Ava’s hesitation, she took the phone and answered the call for Ava without thinking.
“Ava!” Madeline could hear Daniel’s excited voice on the other side of the phone. It seemed that Ava had not answered Daniel’s calls for a long time. Then, Madeline put the call on speaker.
“Dan, it’s me.”
On the other end, Daniel froze for a moment before asking, “Eveline?”
“Yes, it’s me. I‘m with Ava now and she’s in the restroom.” Madeline made an excuse and looked at Ava, who was nervous.
In reality, Ava wanted to answer whenever Daniel called her as she wanted badly to talk to him but she had been restraining herself.
“Dan, I just met Ava. It seems that she’s very unhappy. Do you know what’s wrong with her?”
Madeline asked even though she knew what was going on. She wanted to see how Daniel would answer.
“My grandpa suddenly fell ill. The doctor said that the situation isn’t looking good for him and he might not have much time left. My grandpa said that he wants to see his grandson get married and start a business before he dies.”
“Set a date and get engaged to Ava as soon as possible, then. Your grandpa should be glad if you do that,” Madeline said deliberately.
Soon after, she heard Daniel answer with a sigh. “My grandfather has always wanted me to marry Naya. Naya’s parents used to be neighbors with us. When I was young, she and I often went to school together, but after high school, I never saw her that much anymore. Even so, my parents and grandpa like her very much.”
“You mean your family wants you to marry Naya? What about Ava? Are you going to give up on Ava just like that?” Madeline felt a little dissatisfied and pissed on behalf of Ava.
“Dan, I can understand your desire to satisfy your grandfather’s death wish, but what about Ava? Have you ever wondered how she would feel?”
“Of course, I’ve thought about it and decided that I’ll never give up on Ava.” Daniel’s firm words made their way to Ava’s ears from the speaker.
Ava’s heart that felt as if it had sunk into the deep ocean seemed to suddenly lift back up again with a sense of hope.
“Eveline, where are you now? I haven’t seen Ava for a long time as she’s been hiding from me. She’s not answering my calls either. I really don’t want to give up on her. I hope she can meet me and hear me out. I want to tell her that I’ve thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.”
After hearing what Daniel said, Madeline felt cheerful again. She could see the light in Ava’s eyes as well.
“Ava and I are in International Mall. She’s not back from the restroom yet. When you get here, pretend it’s a coincidence that you’re running into her in case she calls me a traitor. Text me when you’re here.”
“Thank you! Eveline, I’ll go look for both of you now!” Daniel quickly thanked her, sounding urgent. It could be seen how worried he was about Ava.
Then, Madeline hung up the phone and looked at Ava who had an expectant light in her eyes.
“Did you hear that, Ava? Dan still cares about you. He’ll not give you up for this, so don’t give up on him. Otherwise, he’ll be sad.”
Madeline said and grabbed Ava’s hand. “Let’s go to wait for Dan at International Mall.”
“Maddie, is this really happening? Will there really be a plan to get the best of both worlds?”
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2143
Madeline nodded affirmatively. “Since Dan has already said so, then it must be the case. Have some faith in your future husband. Let’s go.”
Ava’ s cheeks turned hot, seemingly because Madeline had said the words ‘future husband’. To speak the truth, of course, Ava hoped that Dan would be the man she spend the rest of her days with.
Madeline and Ava wandered around International Mall. About ten minutes later, Madeline received a text from Daniel. He said he had arrived. Madeline immediately told him where they were. Then, she continued to shop with Ava in the mall as if nothing had happened.
It did not take long for Daniel to appear in front of Madeline and Ava like he had coincidentally bumped into them.
However, his acting skills were pretty bad. To any discerning person, this encounter did not look like a coincidence at all.
Daniel only had Ava in his eyes, and he ran up to her as soon as he arrived, holding her shoulders tightly.
“Ava, why haven’t you answered my calls for so many days now? Do you really not want to see me anymore?”
Daniel’s eyes were full of melancholy, while his thick eyebrows were furrowed together.
“Ava, trust me, I’ll not give up on you, nor will I give up on our feelings for each other.”
In truth, Ava’s heart was already shaking when she saw Daniel barging into her vision. She had always been thinking of this man, and she could feel tears pricking the corners of her eyes. However, her stubbornness made her deliberately shift her gaze and speak indifferently.
“Trust you? How can I trust you? Haven‘t you already promised your grandfather that you’ll marry Naya? Also, the engagement date has already been set too. What more can you say to explain yourself?”
“My relationship with Naya is not what you think, Ava. Believe me.” Daniel desperately yearned for Ava’s trust. He looked at Ava with his gentle eyes, waiting for her to answer him.
Ava clearly wanted to answer him but she still gritted her teeth and turned her face away so she did not have to look at Daniel.
Of course, Madeline understood Ava’s conflict and struggle. She also saw a lot of passersby watching them while making criticisms. Hence, she went over to pull Ava’s hand.
“Dan, have you eaten? I’ve been walking around with Ava and I still haven’t eaten. I’m a little hungry now. Why don’t the two of you accompany me to eat something?”
Daniel and Ava knew Madeline was trying to resolve this awkwardness between them. Hence, Daniel quickly agreed but Ava did not say anything. Even so, it was a tacit agreement.
Madeline deliberately chose a restaurant that Ava liked, and Daniel ordered a few of the dishes that Ava liked as well.
Ava could feel her eyes burning when she looked at the food in front of her. She could see and feel Daniel’s consideration and affection toward her. She did not want this current situation to happen as well.
“Wow, look, Ava. Dan knows you so well. These are all your favorite dishes.” Madeline chimed in at one side. “No matter what, you should eat something. Let’s eat as we talk.”
Madeline hinted at Dan. Then, he understood immediately and picked up some food for Ava.
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2144
“Ava, I know you’re uncomfortable with my family’s attitude toward you and that you’ve been enduring everything for my sake. I’m aware of all these. I’ve been trying my best to make compromises and save this relationship. I hope you can give me a little more time. I’ll definitely not let you down.” Daniel promised solemnly.
Ava felt Daniel’s sincerity. She had a lot of things she wanted to say but she could not get a single word out.
“Ava, I know you want to be together with Dan. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have cried so badly while bugging me just now.”
“… I… I didn’t cry.” Ava stubbornly denied it
However, when Daniel heard that, guilt and distress suddenly overwhelmed his heart. “I’m sorry, Ava. I really don’t wish to make you sad.”
“Dan, how’s your grandfather? What’s the idea you mentioned to satisfy your grandfather’s dying wish without letting Ava down?” Madeline asked the key question.
Daniel did not waste any time either. However, just as he was about to explain to Ava, Madeline’s cell phone rang with the unique ringtone she had set.
Madeline answered Jeremy’s video call without hesitation. As soon as Madeline answered the call, she heard Pudding crying while calling out ‘Mommy’ unclearly. Jeremy looked helpless and anxious.
“Honey, Pudding keeps crying and calling for you. Are you still shopping with Ava?”
“Maddie, you should go back first or the little guy will cry himself hoarse.” Ava also felt sorry for the crying baby in the video.
Madeline picked up her bag and reminded Ava before she left. “Alright, Dan will accompany you. You two have a good chat. Ava, don’t ignore Dan. He really cares about you and is worried about you. Jeremy and I made it through whatever challenges we had to face. As long as you’re honest with each other, at least half of the doubts will be solved.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around in a hurry. At the same time, she did not forget to respond to Jeremy in the video who was asking curiously about things.
Although the atmosphere was not as lively after Madeline left, Daniel was happy to be able to talk to Ava alone.
“Ava, don’t be angry. Eat something first and I’ll explain it to you slowly.” Daniel coaxed her gently and patiently. At the same time, he picked up some food and put it on Ava’s plate.
Ava looked at the food on her plate, took a deep breath, and then said calmly, “You haven’t eaten yet, right? You should eat too. We’ll talk about it when you’re full.”
When he heard Ava’s softened tone, Daniel’s heart was beating less nervously and there was a smile on his handsome face.
“I’m satisfied with just watching you eat,” Daniel said suddenly.
Ava, who was taking some food for herself, felt her cheeks getting hot. These words were not sweet nothings. She was moved when she heard him say that.
Seeing Ava’s cheeks flushing slightly and the smile on her lips, Daniel’s mood instantly improved. He knew very well that he would never give up such a woman who could affect his emotions at any time.
“I’m very calm now and I don’t want to run away anymore. Just tell me how you plan to settle this. Naya and you are getting engaged soon. Will she agree to cancel this wedding? Even if she does, your parents, your relatives, and your grandfather will not agree to it.”
When Ava said this, she was still throwing a tantrum. However, she then sighed and turned her head to look into Daniel’s warm eyes.
“Even though things aren’t looking optimistic about your grandfather’s health and I also hope that he can fulfill his dying wish, I don’t want to be separated from you because of this.”
When Daniel heard this, he grabbed Ava’s hand emotionally. “Ava, it’s enough for me that you’ve said this. Listen to me, I’ve thought about it and I won’t give up on you. But I’ll also get engaged to Naya according to the set date.”
Ava widened her beautiful eyes in shock. “What do you mean? Do you want two women at the same time? Daniel, what are you thinking?”
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2145
Seeing that Ava had misunderstood him, Daniel hurriedly explained. “Ava, you’re overthinking. How could I have such thoughts? You’re my only choice, and I’m firm on that.”
Daniel solemnly expressed his intentions.
Ava knew that Daniel definitely did not mean what she thought, but when she heard Daniel’s serious explanation and promise, Ava could not help smiling. “Okay, I’m just joking with you. With your character, Dan, even if other women come up to you, I know you’ll just stay away from them.”
“Ava, don’t make such jokes,” Daniel said solemnly, “Also, call me Danny.”
Daniel’s serious eyes also made Ava serious. She nodded and put down the fork in her hand.
“Then, Danny, what do you mean by what you just said?”
“Ava, promise me that you’ll stay calm when you listen to what I say.” Daniel looked at Ava with pleading eyes. Ava inexplicably felt that Daniel’s so-called plan to get the best of both worlds might not be so simple. She looked at Daniel and said with a dignified expression, “Okay, I’ll listen to you calmly.”
Daniel let some information slip. “Actually, I didn’t come up with this method. It was Naya who told me this.”
“Naya? What did she tell you?”
“She told me that my grandfather has loved her very much since she was a child, and she can’t bear having him leave without peace of mind. Hence, she’s willing to give in and pretend to be engaged to me so that she can appease Grandpa and make him feel at ease. On the other hand, she won’t interfere with my relationship with you.”
As she listened to what Daniel said, Ava gradually understood what he meant.
“Ava, if you don’t want me to do it, I can say no.”
“What will you do if you refuse? If you don’t agree to get engaged to Naya, your grandfather will be very angry.” Ava smiled helplessly.
She picked up the fork again and kept stuffing food into her mouth. Everything here was her favorite food but right now, it was tasteless in her mouth.
“Did Naya come up with this plan?” Ava asked, staying as calm as she could. However, a storm was raging in her heart right now.
Daniel nodded. “It’s her idea.”
“Do you think she gave you this idea out of kindness? Have you ever thought that she might change her mind later? Your fake engagement might become a real one in the end.”
“No, it won’t.” Daniel was very sure. “Even though Naya is very willful at times, I believe she won’t fool around in this matter. Plus, I’ve told her clearly that I only see her as my little sister. I only have you in my heart and my future bride will only be you.”
When Daniel said this, his eyes were filled with sincerity and gentleness.
Ava also saw the sincerity and love in his eyes. She saw the responsibility and attentiveness a man should have in Daniel. However, Ava was still doubtful about Naya. Even so, Ava did not tell Daniel this. Instead, she just said she wanted to meet Naya.
Hence, Daniel quickly agreed and set up an appointment with Naya.
Around evening, Naya showed up at the agreed location. Ava and Daniel had just walked out of the cinema after a movie when they saw Naya, who had been waiting at the entrance of the cinema.
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2146
“Is that Naya?” Ava pointed at someone not far away.
Daniel finally spotted Naya. “It’s her. Let’s go over.”
“Okay.” Ava smiled softly and lifted her head to look at Naya who had her back toward them.
“Naya,” Daniel called out to Naya but she did not seem to hear him. “Naya…”
Daniel called again and Naya looked around her. Then, she turned around and looked into Daniel’s eyes with a look of surprise on her face.
“Dan,” She smiled and called out before walking over.
“Hello, Miss Mendez. We meet again,” Ava greeted politely.
Naya smiled sweetly at Ava. “Hello, Ava. I met you once on Grandpa’s birthday and never saw you again. However, Danny always talks to me about you.”
“Really?” Ava smiled sweetly and leaned her head on Dan’s shoulder.
When Naya saw the intimate scene, she smiled while pretending to not mind it at all.
“Naya, are you hungry? Let’s find a restaurant so we can sit down and chat,” Daniel suggested. This was a suggestion Ava had given him while they were watching the movie, so of course, he would listen to Ava’s arrangement.
Naya nodded quickly, then she showed an aggrieved expression. “Yeah, I’m hungry. I’ve been busy the whole day and only had a slice of bread!”
“Let’s go eat now. What do you like to eat?” Daniel asked.
“You can decide, Danny,” Naya said obediently.
“Let’s have Italian food.” Daniel looked at Ava after he said that.
“Italian food sounds good. Danny, you still remember that I like Italian food.” Naya was beaming.
“Oh, you like Italian food too?” Daniel’s sentence crushed the bright smile on Naya’s face. Then, she heard Daniel say, “Ava likes Italian food too.”
“…”
Naya could not smile anymore. Instead, she looked at Ava unnaturally.
At this moment, Daniel held Ava’s hand to walk toward the elevator. Hence, Naya had no choice and could only follow them.
Inside the Italian restaurant. Naya sat opposite Ava and Daniel. She lost her appetite when she looked at Daniel’s intimate actions toward Ava.
“Miss Mendez, don’t you like Italian food? And you said you haven’t eaten the whole day, so why aren’t you eating?” Ava asked curiously at the glum-looking Naya.
Naya was taken aback when she saw Daniel looking at her. She immediately frowned.
“Danny, I don’t know if it’s because I’m too hungry that my stomach is hurting now.”
“Your stomach hurts?” Daniel furrowed his long eyebrows.
“Yeah…” Naya murmured. “It hurts so badly, Danny.
It’s getting worse. Hiss…”
Daniel stood up suddenly when he saw Naya looking like she was in pain.
“Hold on. I’ll call an ambulance,” Daniel said and grabbed his phone to call the ambulance.
“Ugh… Danny…” Naya lowered her head and curled up her body like she was in a lot of pain. She kept calling out to Daniel and reaching out to him, hoping he would hold her hand. “Danny, it hurts…”
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2147
When Ava saw that Naya was about to grab Daniel’s hand, she quickly got up and held Naya.
“Miss Mendez, Danny is already calling you an ambulance. Please hold on.” .
Naya wanted to ask Daniel for help, but she did not think that Ava would interfere. She looked at Daniel who did not have any intentions to comfort her. She could only grit her teeth and endure this. However, she was not enduring the pain but the annoyance and dissatisfaction in her heart.
Soon, the ambulance arrived. Under everyone’s gaze, Naya was brought into the ambulance.
Actually, Ava could tell something was up. However, Daniel did not notice anything at all.
After they got to the hospital, Daniel could only help Naya register and handle some trivial matters as there was no one else. Then, he waited at the door of the emergency room with Ava.
Ava was just waiting at one side, not saying anything.
Dan was the first one to say something. “Ava, don’t overthink things out of jealousy. That was an unexpected incident, and I’ve already told her parents. We’ll go back when her parents are here.”
Ava smiled magnanimously. “Dan, I’m not overthinking things. It’s normal for you to be worried about a friend. Plus, she’s in so much pain just now. I don’t think she wants to rely on anyone else other than you, so I understand.”
“I’m not someone she wants to rely on. It’s just that she has known me for longer and she doesn’t want to trouble you,” Daniel explained as he held Ava’s hand gently.
“Ava, if you think this isn’t right, I’ll reject Naya’s plan and think of something else.”
Ava thought that this plan was already problematic in the first place, especially when this plan was Naya’s idea.
Naya looked polite and gentle on the surface, but the first time Ava met her, she could see the taunting and animosity from Naya’s eyes. Naya was definitely not someone nice.
When she saw Daniel considering her emotions, Ava smiled. “Yeah, we’ll just…”
“Daniel!”
The moment Ava said something and decided to ask Daniel to reject Naya’s plan, the anxious voice of a woman called out to Daniel.
Ava turned around and saw a middle-aged woman walking over hurriedly while dripping in jewels. Judging from the woman’s face, she should be Naya’s mother.
Indeed, when the woman approached Daniel, she immediately asked about Naya’s condition.
“Daniel, what’s going on? What happened to Naya? Why is she in the hospital all of a sudden?” Naya’s mother asked anxiously.
Daniel shook his head. “I don’t know the details, but before she fainted, she kept saying her stomach hurts. Does she have problems with her stomach?”
“Stomach problems? No way! Naya has been spoiled since young and never has to worry about food. How could she have stomach problems?”
Naya’s mother was in disbelief. She looked at the door of the emergency room anxiously and turned around to look at Ava who was standing next to Daniel. It seemed that she only now noticed there was someone else here.
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2148
“Who’s this?”
“This is my girlfriend, Ava.”
“…”
Naya’s mother was stunned when she heard that. Then, the way she looked at Ava changed immediately. She said in a strange tone, “Oh, you’re that Miss Long who angered Daniel’s grandpa so much that he was hospitalized.”
After she said that, the air around them immediately became tense.
Ava was surprised and shocked. What did she have to do with Daniel’s grandfather being hospitalized?
“Mrs. Mendez, please don’t spew nonsense. Grandpa getting hospitalized has nothing to do with my girlfriend.” Daniel’s face turned cold, and it seemed that he was not happy with what Naya’s mother had said.
However, Naya’s mother scoffed nonchalantly. “Hmph, how could it have nothing to do with her? Your grandpa collapsed because he was enraged that you wouldn’t break lip with this woman. His condition is unstable until now.”
After Naya’s mother said that, she advised Daniel like she was doing it out of kindness.
“Daniel, I watched you grow up. You’re being unwise right now. Anyone with discerning eyes can see that this woman is clinging to you and refusing to give you up because of your money. She’s not sincere at all. Why are you doing this to an ordinary and servile woman?”
As Naya’s mother said those nasty words, she did not forget to roll her eyes at Ava.
“Miss Long, I should tell you to leave Daniel as soon as possible. Nothing good will come out of this. A marriage without the blessing of the parents will not go well!”
Naya’s mother went off at Ava without holding back Then, a rare look of anger appeared on Daniel’s gentle face in that instant.
“Daniel, don’t be mad. I’m fine. I’ve never cared about the nonsense spewed by irrelevant people.” Ava grabbed Daniel and smiled at Naya’s mother. “I’m sorry for worrying you, Mrs. Mendez. Danny and I won’t break up just because of some external obstructions. Even if we do split up one day, we won’t let those vile characters with ulterior motives get what they want.”
“…”
When Naya’s mother heard this, her expression changed instantly. “What did you say? Who are you calling a vile character?”
Ava lifted the corners of her lips into a profound smile. “Mrs. Mendez, it’s whoever you think I’m talking about.”
“You…” Naya’s mother was fuming. However, when she was about to point at Ava to scold her, the door of the emergency room opened.
When Naya’s mother saw the doctor coming out, she hurriedly ran over.
“Doctor, how is my daughter? Why did she pass out?”
“Um…” The doctor frowned. “Maybe it’s because your daughter didn’t eat for the whole day so that’s why she felt some discomfort in her stomach. We did a full body check-up on her and from the results we got, she’s very healthy.”
Naya’s mother let out a sigh of relief when she heard the doctor’s answer.
“Danny, since Miss Mendez is fine, let’s go back now. We’ll only be a nuisance if we stay here.” Ava grabbed Daniel’s hand and was about to leave.
Daniel did not plan to stay here anyway. Moreover, he did not feel good after hearing what Naya’s mother said to Ava.
However, Naya’s mother grabbed Daniel’s arm and stopped him with a straight face. “Daniel, you can’t leave with this woman.”
Daniel’s already angry face looked even colder now. He pulled his arm away and said in a cold, unfriendly tone, “Mrs. Mendez, please watch your words. Ava is my girlfriend and I’ll go wherever she wants to go. You don’t have the right and qualification to restrict where my girlfriend and I go.”
“…”
Naya’s mother knew Daniel was a gentle and polite man, so she did not expect him to be so firm with her right now.
She felt very annoyed and pissed. At the same time, she also felt that she had been utterly humiliated.
“Mom, why are you here?”
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2149
Naya’s voice could be heard from the door of the emergency room.
Daniel and Ava lifted their eyes to look over at the same time.
Naya looked like she was in discomfort, but her complexion looked fine. She did not look like a patient who had just passed out because of stomach pain. Naya’s eyes shone as she looked at Daniel. Then, she turned her head to look at her mother.
“Mom, why are you here?”
“I called your parents,” Daniel explained.
Ava smiled and leaned against Daniel. Then, she said, “Miss Mendez, you looked like you were in so much pain in the restaurant and Danny was worried something bad would happen to you, so that’s why he informed your parents.”
Naya pulled the corners of her lips into a half-smile. “I see. I’m sorry for making you worry, Danny. I’m so sorry.”
“It’s good that you’re fine.” Daniel’s expression looked indifferent, and he did not have much else to say. “Rest well. Ava and I are going back.”
“Alright, okay,” Naya nodded obediently and answered.
When Naya’s mother saw this, she did not agree. “No, Naya, how can you…”
“Mom, take me home now. I’m still a little dizzy.” Naya grabbed her mother who was still trying to criticize Ava.
On the way home, Naya’s mother kept rambling on in the car.
“Naya, are you dumb? You had such a good chance to pretend to be sick so why didn’t you prolong it? Daniel is a good man and won’t turn a blind eye. You don’t know how to capture the heart of a man at all!”
“Mom, I’m already very annoyed right now. Can you stop talking?”
Naya complained, unable to take it anymore. When she remembered how affectionate Daniel was toward Ava, she felt extremely pissed.
“I’ll make Danny my man sooner or later.”
“Hmph.” Her mother scoffed. “You’re saying it like you’re unbeatable, but you can’t even deal with Ava.”
Naya felt even more unwilling and pissed after being scolded by her mother.
“Naya, don’t you know how to use such a good chance?” Naya’s mother looked at Naya like she had failed to live up to expectations. “If this goes on, your Danny will become someone else’s husband and you won’t even have the time to cry over it. Plus, the Grahams are on your side, so what’s there to consider?”
“I don’t want to ruin my image in his heart,” Naya admitted it quickly. “I don’t know what Danny likes about Ava. She looks so normal and she’s only an interior designer. She has no background and no status. She’s not a match for Danny at all.”
“Of course, she’s not! That’s why the Grahams don’t like her. There isn’t another woman in Glendale who’s suitable for Daniel.”
When Naya heard her mother say that, she felt more confident.
“Naya, men can’t stand temptations. There are unlimited desires in human beings. As long as you’re willing and become more savage, the man you want will naturally be yours. That’s how I got you back then.” Naya’s mother hinted at her.
Naya did not say anything but she was contemplating in her heart. After she thought about it, she smirked.
After Ava and Daniel went home, they went to find another Italian restaurant for dinner.
After a while, Ava asked Daniel, “Danny, did you know Naya from when you were younger?”
“Ever since I started primary school, she’d go to school and go home with me. However, I never had any romantic feelings for her.”
Daniel told Ava the truth and then emphasized that.
Ava nodded and asked, “So, what do you think Naya is like?”
“She… She’s an obedient and sensible girl. I don’t know much about anything else.”
“Obedient and sensible.” Ava was seriously doubting these two descriptions.
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2150
Daniel saw Ava deep in thought and suddenly grabbed her hand.
“Actually, I know nothing about her. I only want to know more about you.” Daniel looked into Ava’s eyes solemnly.
Ava was stunned for a while, and she quickly felt Daniel’s concern and care for her.
After dinner, Daniel walked with Ava for a while before sending her back to her apartment. When they were about to part ways, Daniel grabbed the door handle. His eyes were filled with innocence and disappointment.
“Don’t ignore my calls again. No matter how hard it’s going to get, trust that I won’t give up on you.” He promised and suddenly planted a kiss on Ava’s forehead.
“Ava, don’t take what others say to heart and don’t let them affect our relationship, okay?”
Ava knew she had made Daniel sad by ignoring his calls before this, so she nodded quickly.
“Don’t worry, Maddie talked to me today and I know I’m the one at fault. I won’t be so willful next time. A relationship is a two-way street. I shouldn’t let you handle this all by yourself. We should solve whatever difficulties that are thrown at us together.”
After he heard this, a relieved smile appeared on Daniel’s face.
When Daniel turned around, Ava stood at the door. Ava only closed the door when Daniel’s figure was out of her vision.
The moment she sat down, her phone rang. It was from Madeline, and Ava quickly swiped her finger across the screen to answer it.
“Maddie, I was about to call you!”
When Madeline heard Ava’s happy voice, she knew that the tense situation between Daniel and Ava was resolved after she left.
“You sound happy. Are you and Dan okay now?”
Ava grunted a reply and sighed softly. “Maddie, do you know what’s the plan to get the best of both worlds that Danny mentioned?”
“What is it?” Madeline asked curiously as she leaned against Jeremy’s body while she played with the little boy who was learning to speak. When she heard what Ava said, she was very shocked.
“That’s the plan he was talking about? Ava, you didn’t agree, did you?”
“I wanted to at first, but when I saw Naya, I don’t want to anymore,” Ava told Madeline her thoughts.
“I keep feeling that Naya wants to scam Danny into getting engaged to her. In short, I just don’t think this is a good plan.”
“Since you think that it’s not a good plan, don’t say yes. I’ll support your decision no matter what, Ava. But you have to trust Dan too.”
“Yeah, okay. Don’t worry.” Ava smiled. She was in a good mood now. When she was about to talk to Madeline a little longer, the doorbell of her apartment rang.
“Maddie, someone’s at the door. I have to go now.”
“Who’s at the door when it’s so late at night? Be careful.” Madeline reminded her. “Hang up after you see who it is.”
“Gosh, Maddie, are you worried that someone will abduct me?” Ava walked to the door as she said jokingly. Then, she opened the door with a click.
