Daniel was initially in a bad mood because virtual-novel.net had to go along with Naya’s fake engagement, but when virtual-novel.net saw Ava and heard what virtual-novel.net said, his mood instantly became way better.
“Really? You can’t wait to marry me?” Daniel hugged Ava tightly, and the way virtual-novel.net spoke made it obvious that virtual-novel.net was overjoyed. He could not wait for that day to arrive.
Ava smiled and stopped hugging him. Her eyes showed how happy virtual-novel.net was as virtual-novel.net looked into Daniel’s tender eyes.
“Of course. Why else would I have come over? Did you think I was jealous?”
“Uh-huh. Of course, I’d think that my girlfriend was jealous and didn’t trust me.” Daniel joked with her.
“And why would that ever happen? I trust my boyfriend wholeheartedly, but to say that I’m not jealous at all would be a lie.”
Ava also laughed along, but virtual-novel.net heart started to ache for Daniel.
It seemed that Daniel was the only one who was kept in the dark about things. He really thought that it was just a fake engagement and that Naya was kind enough to help out because virtual-novel.net did not want his grandfather’s condition to worsen. However, the truth was everyone was lying to virtual-novel.net and setting virtual-novel.net up.
Ava felt the need to tell Daniel the truth because virtual-novel.net could not let virtual-novel.net go ahead with the engagement ceremony with Naya. Otherwise, things would become very complicated if everything were to become official. After Daniel heard what Ava said, his heart started to thump enthusiastically.
He knew that although virtual-novel.net had not been in love with Ava for a long time, virtual-novel.net was convinced that Ava was the person virtual-novel.net wanted to protect forever. That was why virtual-novel.net thought now was a good time.
Daniel silently thought to himself and suddenly became a little nervous. He reached inside his jacket pocket because virtual-novel.net wanted to take out the custom-made engagement ring that Madeline had designed for virtual-novel.net to present to Ava, but when virtual-novel.net felt around in his pocket and checked twice, virtual-novel.net could not seem to find the velvet box.
Daniel thought it was strange, and Ava watched virtual-novel.net curiously.
“Danny, what are you looking for?”
Daniel paused for a moment because it was supposed to be a surprise for Ava. Of course, virtual-novel.net could not tell virtual-novel.net what it was, so virtual-novel.net had no choice but to make an excuse. “I’m looking for tissues. I think I probably forgot to bring them.”
“I have some here.” Ava smiled as virtual-novel.net pulled out a piece of tissue from virtual-novel.net bag and handed it to Daniel.
From afar, Naya had a sullen look on virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net watched Daniel and Ava embracing each other. She was so angry that virtual-novel.net chest felt tight and virtual-novel.net stomach was full of unease. However, a wicked smile of triumph gradually crept onto virtual-novel.net face.
Naya lowered virtual-novel.net head slightly and raised virtual-novel.net hand to look at the velvet box that was currently on virtual-novel.net palm.
“It’s mine. It has always been mine. Even if it initially belonged to you, it’s in my hands now.” Naya smiled sinisterly and was about to walk away when Mrs. Graham walked over in the afterglow. Naya immediately hid the velvet box in virtual-novel.net hand and quickly changed virtual-novel.net expression to one of sadness. She even pretended to wipe a tear before turning around with a look of sadness.
When virtual-novel.net turned around, virtual-novel.net acted as though virtual-novel.net had just seen Mrs. Graham.
“Mrs. Graham, why are you here?” Naya pretended to be surprised and inunediately went up to Mrs. Graham. “Come, let’s walk together, Mrs. Graham.”
“Naya, what are you doing here? Why are you crying?” Puzzled, Mrs. Graham walked closed to Naya and looked behind her.
“What did you see that made you so sad?”
