Married by Mistake â Chapter 2214 âAva, donât say anything first. I know what youâre going to say. Calm down and listen to me first.â Raegan interrupted hastily, soothing Avaâs emotions that were on the verge of breaking down.
Ava, who was interrupted, did not show displeasure. Instead, she just looked at Raegan calmly.
âOkay, speak.â
Seeing that Ava was not angry, Raegan was silently relieved. She also recomposed herself before speaking.
âAva, I know that you donât like what I did back then and what Iâve done now. I donât want to find excuses for myself because I know Iâm the one at fault. But Ava, weâre mother and daughter. Youâre my flesh and blood. Iâm really reluctant to let go of you forever.â
Raeganâs voice began to sound choked when she was still speaking. Her eyes gradually became wet and red. âAva, will you give me a chance to make things up for you?â
Raeganâs tone was careful, almost pleading.
Avaâs hands that were hidden in her sleeves clenched slowly. She could see the countless hopes and regrets in Raeganâs eyes.
However, she could not forget Raeganâs heartlessness back then.
âAva...â
When Ava was silent and did not know how to answer, Daniel appeared at the right time.
âMrs. Xander, youâre here too.â Daniel greeted Raegan politely.
Raegan also smiled slightly. At the same time, she felt that the initially rigid atmosphere had been eased a lot. Daniel smiled and held Avaâs hand that was hidden in her sleeve. When he felt Avaâs fingers trembling slightly, he gently intertwined his fingers with hers, giving her warmth and solid support.
âMrs. Xander, you probably havenât eaten yet. Why donât we go to the restaurant to eat something together?â Daniel asked and looked down at Ava for her opinion. âAva, is that okay with you?â
Ava knew that Daniel was trying to create opportunities between the two, but at the same time, he also respected her opinions.
She did not speak and just nodded lightly in acquiescence.
Seeing Avaâs reaction, Raegan was overjoyed.
She could finally have lunch with Ava, and this time, they did not part ways unhappily like the last time. After lunch, Daniel sent Ava back to the office.
When Daniel sent Ava to her office, Ava thanked Daniel.
Daniel looked puzzled. âWhy are you thanking me? Have you forgotten who I am?â
Ava smiled knowingly. After seeing that there was no one around, she quickly kissed Danielâs cheek and immediately turned around to run into the office while blushing.
The sharp-eyed Maisie saw this sweet scene and went back to tease Ava. Ava did not mind it either, so she magnanimously allowed Maisie to tease her.
Over the next few days, Ava and the rest of the employees found the office to be much quieter because Fiona was detained for a week. A week later, Fiona came to work listlessly. However, as soon as she entered the office, she was summoned by the human resources department. After a while, she came back with a gloomy expression on her face. She rushed directly in front of Ava.
âAva, youâre so fcking ruthless! I was detained for seven days and am left with a criminal record. Now, I donât even have a job anymore!â Fiona threw the dismissal letter in her hand at Ava. âYou just want to take the position of the design department manager, right? Youâre just afraid that Iâll compete with you, right? Are you happy now, you btch?â
Fiona raised her hand in anger and wanted to hit Ava. Right when Ava was about to dodge, Maisie grabbed Fionaâs wrist forcefully.
âWhy are you still making a fuss here? I was the one who asked the human resources department to sack you. What qualifications do you have to stay here if you have sticky fingers? Itâs even more hilarious for you to mention the position of design department manager. Judging from your work ability, character, and the way you handle things, how can you even compete with Ava? If you donât want to be even more humiliated, get out!â
