Chapter 2390
When she did not see Daniel, Ava's heart skipped a beat. She felt uneasy for some reason.Recalling the previous car accident, Ava immediately took out her phone to call Daniel. She held the phone as her hand trembled uncontrollably.‘Please, don’t let Dan be in trouble.’Ava prayed silently in her heart, but she could not get through to Daniel’s phone.This uneasy feeling caused Ava's heart to completely lose its normal rhythm.She wanted to find Daniel but did not know where to look.Suddenly, familiar footsteps approached from behind her. Ava turned around abruptly. “Dan—Mr. Lowe.”When she saw Tom, Ava's expectations were also completely shattered.Yet, Tom still gave Ava a friendly smile. “I saw from the lobby that you’ve been standing here alone for a long time. You seem to be very distressed. Is there anything I can help you with?”Ava was stunned and shook her head. “No, I'm waiting for my friend, but he doesn't seem to be here yet. I can’t get through to him either.”

Ava and Tom looked at each other. Ava seemed to understand that he was trying to get her a way out of this situation.She nodded and wanted to reject Neil, but she heard Neil say regretfully, “Really? You have an appointment with a friend, Ava? That's a pity. Today is your mother's birthday. Our family has finally reunited. I think your mother also hopes that we can sit down and have dinner together again.”Upon hearing these words, Ava’s words of rejection were stuck in her throat. She was unable to speak for a while.“Ava, if you can…” Neil sounded to be pleading with her, but in the middle of the sentence, he suddenly smiled with ease. “Since you have a prior appointment, it's better not to miss it. It’s fine for your mother and me to spend it together.”“You can bring me along too if you don't mind.” Tom smiled. It seemed as if he was joking.Neil warmly invited, “If you don’t mind, we can add an extra seat for you, Mr. Lowe.”Tom smiled when he heard that. “Let's go, then. M

Raegan started to have some expectations in her heart after seeing how Neil was behaving. She took two steps to the door, and her expression froze.“A-Ava?”Raegan looked at Ava who was standing in front of her in disbelief.Ava pulled the corners of her lips into a smile. “This is for you. Happy birthday.”She handed Raegan a bouquet of carnations in her hands.Raegan was taken aback and felt tears prickling the corners of her eyes.This scene was something she had never dared to imagine.When Neil saw that Raegan was on the verge of tears, he quickly broke the silence. “What delicious food are you cooking? I can smell it from here.”Upon hearing this, Raegan understood what Neil was saying immediately. She quickly recomposed herself and invited Ava inside.“Ava, come in quickly. You don’t need to be humble. This is your home, so you can come back whenever you want. The door of this home is always open to you.”Raegan held the bouquet with a smile on her face and invited Tom

“What did you wish for?” Neil asked jokingly.Raegan just glanced at Ava with a gentle and loving smile. “It won't come true if I tell you, and I think my wish will come true soon.”Neil understood what Raegan meant, and so did Ava and Tom.Everyone was tacitly aware of this.“Let's eat. Try the food and see if it's delicious. Ava made these two dishes, so please give her some feedback.” Raegan smiled to adjust the atmosphere.Neil and Tom also cooperatively lifted their forks to try the two dishes made by Ava. After chewing, they gave unanimous comments.“Ava, not only are your designs great, but the food you cook is also amazing. The taste of these buttered prawns is great,” Tom praised without holding himself back.Neil nodded in agreement, a proud smile on his handsome face.“Of course, my daughter excels in whatever she does.”After he said that, Neil felt that he might have said something wrong. He glanced at Ava nervously and saw that Ava's expression did not change at

Ava looked in surprise at Naya’s mother, Esther. She was standing at the door of her apartment. It was hard to imagine how long Esther had been waiting here.When Esther saw Ava and Tom walking together, she immediately let out a sarcastic chuckle. “Tsk tsk, Ava. I really underestimated you. No, everyone has underestimated you.”Ava smiled when she heard that. “Oh, really? Mrs. Mendez, you might as well be direct and just say what you want to say.”Esther was extremely pissed when she saw Ava's arrogant attitude, but she still pretended to be calm and sneered.“Because of your slander, my daughter was accused to be a ruthless vixen who tried to destroy other people's relationships. Everyone thinks that Naya is an unruly person, but Ava, what qualifications do you have to slander my daughter like that? You hooked up with Daniel and now you’re with Tom, so why are you still pretending to be innocent?”“Mrs. Mendez, I won’t split hairs with you for the sake of our families’ relations

After Ava entered her house, she quickly took a shower and got under the covers.She habitually sent a message to Daniel, and while waiting, she saw that Tom had sent her a message.Tom was worried that Ava would be afraid after Esther’s sudden appearance just now, so he checked in on her.Ava felt warm and texted Tom back.However, when she was on the chat interface, Ava saw the photo that Tom sent to her not long ago.That could be regarded as a family photo.Ava quietly stared at Raegan and Neil in the photo. Their eyes were filled with so much unconcealable joy. It was the joy of losing something and then regaining it. This might be the family photo they had been looking forward to for a long time.‘If you were so reluctant to part with me, why did you abandon me so ruthlessly back then?’Ava asked herself incomprehensibly, but she could not find the answer.She looked at the photos sadly and finally saw the two photos with Tom in them.“Mr. Lowe is in these photos, but i

After hearing this, Ava immediately knew why other people were looking at her like that.It turned out that someone had spread rumors about her relationship with Tom and posted them on the internet so that people would criticize them. Moreover, Ava did not need to think to know who did this.“Shh, stop talking. She’s right here.” It was unknown who said that, and the employee who was exclaiming just now stopped talking immediately.Ava felt uneasy for a while, but she did not bother to explain too much.How many people would be willing to believe her in this situation?Ava's phone rang while she was thinking about this.She glanced at it and found that it was Maisie. Just then, the elevator reached her floor. She did not answer and just got out of the elevator straightaway.She felt that as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, the people in the elevator would begin to discuss her impatiently.Ava took a deep breath and calmed herself. Then, Maisie called her again.Ava,

Tom nodded lightly. “Have you ever thought that Naya is like this because of her mother?”“I have.” Ava pursed her lips and smiled. Then, she suddenly felt apologetic again. “I'm sorry, Mr. Lowe. The person Naya's mother wants to target is me. I didn't expect to get you involved too.”“Don't say that. We have clear a conscience, and we can't predict what the next step will be for those with bad intentions. Just be yourself and protect yourself. That'll be enough.”Tom's answer gave Ava a particularly calm feeling.She indeed had that mindset. She thought that Tom would think that way because he had been in the business world for so long, so he must be used to these boring trifles.“Mr. Lowe, what happened in the office? It sounded like a lot of people were making noise,” Ava asked curiously.Tom met Ava's confused gaze with gentle eyes. “That woman probably hired someone to come cause trouble for you. I've already asked someone to deal with it.”Tom said, his expression graduall
