Chapter 2200
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
It seemed that everything had happened because the Grahams did not think Ava was good enough, so the two families came up with a plan and set up the whole thing.
Madeline expressed her sorrow after hearing the whole story but she still felt happy for Ava.
âThat Maisie girl is such a nice person. She sounds very resourceful and justice-minded. She wasnât even scared when she stood up for you.â
Ava smiled cheerfully. âYeah, Maisie is very brave and justice-minded. And sheâs really good to me too.â
âMm-hmmâ¦â Madeline responded before continuing with a hint. âAnd thereâs someone else whoâs also very, very good to you.â
âI know, itâs you, Maddie,â Ava replied without thinking, only to hear Madeline saying that was not what she meant.
âI was talking about your mother.â
Ava fell silent when Madeline said that.
âAva, I know I wasnât there at the scene, but I think your mother really wants to make it up to you and regrets what she did when she left you behind last time.â
Madeline patiently persuaded Ava.
âAnd I also know that youâve always wanted to feel the love of your parents again. I suppose both of us have gone through the same thing in that regard, so why donât you give yourself another chance? And perhaps give your mom another chance too?â
After they ended their call, Ava was lost in thought again.
Daniel could tell that something was bothering her. âAva, I think your mom has been waiting outside.
Itâs really cold outside today. If we keep her waiting outside the door like this, she might catch a cold.
Why donât we invite her in to sit down and talk?â
Although he was just suggesting, Danielâs tone sounded cautious.
When Daniel saw that Ava was quiet and frowning, he hurriedly changed his suggestion. âOf course, we donât have to invite her in. After all, tâs getting a bit late.â
As soon as Daniel finished speaking, Ava suddenly stood up and walked straight toward the entrance.
Worried that Ava might not be able to control her emotions, Daniel hurriedly chased after her. âAva.â
Click. He tried to pull Ava back, but Ava had already opened the door.
When Raegan, who had been waiting at the door, saw Ava opening the door, her face lit up with joy.
However, the joy was quickly suppressed and she spoke in a patient, loving tone with an apologetic look âAva, Iâm really sorry about tonight. I didnât know that you would be there tonight, but maybe that was Godâs plan. I know you must not want to admit our relationship, let alone acknowledge an irresponsible mother like me. But I just couldnât stand by and watch you get bullied and taunted like that.â
âAre you done now?â Ava suddenly spoke coldly. Even though the person in front of her was her own mother, it seemed as though she was talking to a stranger.
Raeganâs heart that was filled with anticipation sank for a moment, and the light in her eyes dimmed considerably. âI-Iâm done.â
âIf youâre done, you should go.â Ava coldly tried to get her to leave.
Raeganâs heart felt even sadder. âAvaâ¦â
She tried to convince Ava again, but it was only followed by Avaâs sudden shift in tone.
âItâs getting late. You should go back and get some rest. Iâll be free tomorrow during lunch break. If you donât mind, come and wait for me at the restaurant downstairs of my office.â
