“Ava, I know you’re uncomfortable with my family’s attitude toward you and that you’ve been enduring everything for my sake. I ‘m aware of all these. I’ve been trying my best to make compromises and save this relationship. I hope you can give me a little more time. I ‘ll definitely not let you down.“ Daniel promised solemnly.
Ava felt Daniel’s sincerity. She had a lot of things she wanted to say but she could not get a single word out.
“Ava, I know you want to be together with Dan. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have cried so badly while hugging me just now.“
“ . I-I didn’t cry.“ Ava stubbornly denied it.
However, when Daniel heard that, guilt and distress suddenly overwhelmed his heart. “I’m sorry, Ava. I really don’t wish to make you sad.“
“Dan, how’s your grandfather? What’s the idea you mentioned to satisfy your grandfather’s dying wish without letting Ava down?“ Madeline asked the key question.
Daniel did not waste any time either. However, just as he was about to explain to Ava, Madeline’s cell phone rang with the unique ringtone she had set.
Madeline answered Jeremy’s video call without hesitation. As soon as Madeline answered the call, she heard Pudding crying while calling out ‘Mommy ‘ unclearly. Jeremy looked helpless and anxious.
“Honey, Pudding keeps crying and calling for you. Are you still shopping with Ava?“
“Maddie, you should go back first or the little guy will cry himself hoarse.“ Ava also felt sorry for the crying baby in the video.
Madeline picked up her bag and reminded Ava before she left. “Alright, Dan will accompany you. You two have a good chat. Ava, don’t ignore Dan. He really cares about you and is worried about you. Jeremy and I made it through whatever challenges we had to face. As long as you’re honest with each other, at least half of the doubts will be solved.“
After she finished speaking, she turned around in a hurry. At the same time, she did not forget to respond to Jeremy in the video who was asking curiously about things.
