Chapter 2201
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 she was not. Raegan froze for a few seconds before a look of surprise and joy appeared on her 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 she could not hide the joy flashing in her eyes.
"You guys should rest early, then. I’l] 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, he could see the spring in her steps.
Ava stood at the same spot until Raegan was not in view anymore. After that, she withdrew her gaze, and her eyes quietly turned red.
Daniel saw the subtle change in Ava's expression and immediately closed the door. He guided her by her shoulders and brought her back inside.
"Treally thought you'd completely shut her 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, her 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, she parted her 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 her for only thinking about work and not her family. Then, the two of them separated.
Ava felt Daniel's kindness and gentleness. She smiled slightly, but it was a bitter smile.
"Compared to my mother who only cared about her career, at least my father was a little more conscientious. He left me with my elderly grandmother, but she 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."
