Chapter 2346
Madeline and Ava stopped in their tracks at the same time. They looked at each other, then at the door with a wary look in their eyes.
Ding dong!
The doorbell rang again.
Madeline walked to the door, and through the peephole, she saw a familiar face.
“Tom?” Madeline turned back. “It's Tom.”
“Mr. Lowe?” Ava was also quite surprised. ‘Didn't Tom just leave? Why is he back again?’
Ava thought to herself before opening the door.
Tom was about to speak, but when he saw Madeline there, he was a little surprised. “Mrs. Whitman, you're here too? Since there’s someone to accompany Ava, then as her boss, I can feel relieved.”
He said and handed Ava the bag he was holding. “I thought you wouldn’t have eaten yet, but it might be dangerous if you go out or order takeout. Hence, I bought you something to eat at a nearby restaurant.” Tom's thoughtfulness warmed Madeline and Ava.
“Thank you, Mr. Lowe, but I'm planning to go back to Maddie’s house. There are a lot of people in her house, and she also has bodyguards there. Even if someone really wants to hurt me, it won't be that easy.”
“That's good. I don't want such an excellent employee to be hurt. Besides, you’re also a good friend of Maisie.” Tom smiled slightly, then very thoughtfully walked Madeline and Ava to the car. When Madeline's car drove far away, Tom left without any worries.
After returning to Old Whitman Manor, Jeremy found the incident very strange when he learned what had happened to Ava.
