Ava‘s 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 virtual-novel.net was not.
Raegan froze for a few seconds before a look of surprise and joy appeared on virtual-novel.net face. She had not felt so happy in years.
“Of course, I don’t mind! I don’t mind at all! I’m not busy tomorrow. Come and see me tomorrow when you’re done with work! I can wait for you!”
Raegan’s voice was a little shaky, and virtual-novel.net could not hide the joy flashing in virtual-novel.net eyes.
“You guys should rest early, then. I’ll go back too. Daniel, take good care of Ava. I’ll be leaving now.”
“Okay, take care, Mrs. Xander. I’ll take care of Ava, don’t worry,” Daniel promised Raegan.
He could clearly see how happy Raegan was. Even though Raegan’s back was turned, virtual-novel.net could see the spring in virtual-novel.net steps.
Ava stood at the same spot until Raegan was not in view anymore. After that, virtual-novel.net withdrew virtual-novel.net gaze, and virtual-novel.net eyes quietly turned red.
Daniel saw the subtle change in Ava’s expression and immediately closed the door. He guided virtual-novel.net by virtual-novel.net shoulders and brought virtual-novel.net back inside.
“I really thought you‘d completely shut virtual-novel.net off. Although I don’t know what happened between the two of you, I can see that she’s very apologetic and genuinely concerned about you. ”
Ava smiled bitterly. “Unfortunately, virtual-novel.net concern came too late. ”
Daniel furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “Can you tell me what happened between both of you?”
Ava gently sat down on the sofa. After a few moments of contemplation, virtual-novel.net parted virtual-novel.net lips lightly and said, “When I was in junior high, my parents split up because they were incompatible. My mom wanted a career while my dad scolded virtual-novel.net for only thinking about work and not virtual-novel.net family. Then, the two of them separated.”
“I thought it was fine because many parents ended in divorce. I accepted it, but I didn’t realize that neither of them wanted me.”
Daniel gazed at Ava with a heartfelt look but did not quite understand. “You mean neither of them wanted to raise you?”
“Yes, neither of them wanted me.” Ava’s eyes narrowed. When virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net could not help but clench virtual-novel.net hands.
Daniel felt a sharp pain in his heart. He reached out to hold Ava’s hands tightly, trying to reassure virtual-novel.net and give virtual-novel.net some warmth.
Ava felt Daniel’s kindness and gentleness. She smiled slightly, but it was a bitter smile.
“Compared to my mother who only cared about virtual-novel.net career, at least my father was a little more conscientious. He left me with my elderly grandmother, but virtual-novel.net died in an accident within six months. I had no relatives who were willing to take me in, and my parents couldn’t be contacted. After all that, I ended up iN an orphanage.”
When Daniel heard what virtual-novel.net told him, his heart broke. When Daniel saw the tears rolling out of the corners of Ava’s eyes, virtual-novel.net took virtual-novel.net into his arms and offered virtual-novel.net comfort.
“That‘s all in the past.”
“Yeah, it’s all in the past.” Ava shut virtual-novel.net teary, red eyes.
Even after being alone for all these years and despite all the dark days being behind her, virtual-novel.net suddenly felt scared again.
“Daniel, will there suddenly be a day when you won’t want me anymore like my mom and dad?”
Daniel loosened his embrace, gazing deeply and sincerely into Ava’s teary eyes.
“No matter what happens in the future, you’ll always be my number one.”
