Married by Mistake â Chapter 2201 Avaâs words shocked both Raegan and Daniel, who were standing by the side. Both of them thought that Ava would be heartless, but it turned out that she was not.
Raegan froze for a few seconds before a look of surprise and joy appeared on her face. She had not felt so happy in years.
âOf course, I donât mind! I donât mind at all! Iâm not busy tomorrow. Come and see me tomorrow when youâre done with work! I can wait for you!â
Raeganâs voice was a little shaky, and she could not hide the joy flashing in her eyes.
âYou guys should rest early, then. Iâll go back too. Daniel, take good care of Ava. Iâll be leaving now.â
âOkay, take care, Mrs. Xander. Iâll take care of Ava, donât worry,â Daniel promised Raegan.
He could clearly see how happy Raegan was. Even though Raeganâs back was turned, he could see the spring in her steps.
Ava stood at the same spot until Raegan was not in view anymore. After that, she withdrew her gaze, and her eyes quietly turned red.
Daniel saw the subtle change in Avaâs expression and immediately closed the door. He guided her by her shoulders and brought her back inside.
âI really thought youâd completely shut her off. Although I donât know what happened between the two of you, I can see that sheâs very apologetic and genuinely concerned about you. â
Ava smiled bitterly. âUnfortunately, her concern came too late. â
Daniel furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. âCan you tell me what happened between both of you?â
Ava gently sat down on the sofa. After a few moments of contemplation, she parted her lips lightly and said, âWhen I was in junior high, my parents split up because they were incompatible. My mom wanted a career while my dad scolded her for only thinking about work and not her family. Then, the two of them separated.â
âI thought it was fine because many parents ended in divorce. I accepted it, but I didnât realize that neither of them wanted me.â
Daniel gazed at Ava with a heartfelt look but did not quite understand. âYou mean neither of them wanted to raise you?â
âYes, neither of them wanted me.â Avaâs eyes narrowed. When she said that, she could not help but clench her hands.
Daniel felt a sharp pain in his heart. He reached out to hold Avaâs hands tightly, trying to reassure her and give her some warmth.
Ava felt Danielâs kindness and gentleness. She smiled slightly, but it was a bitter smile.
âCompared to my mother who only cared about her career, at least my father was a little more conscientious. He left me with my elderly grandmother, but she died in an accident within six months. I had no relatives who were willing to take me in, and my parents couldnât be contacted. After all that, I ended up iN an orphanage.â
When Daniel heard what she told him, his heart broke. When Daniel saw the tears rolling out of the corners of Avaâs eyes, he took her into his arms and offered her comfort.
âThatâs all in the past.â
âYeah, itâs all in the past.â Ava shut her teary, red eyes.
Even after being alone for all these years and despite all the dark days being behind her, she suddenly felt scared again.
âDaniel, will there suddenly be a day when you wonât want me anymore like my mom and dad?â
Daniel loosened his embrace, gazing deeply and sincerely into Avaâs teary eyes.
âNo matter what happens in the future, youâll always be my number one.â
