Chapter 2391
Ava and Tom looked at each other. Ava seemed to understand that he was trying to get her a way out of this situation.
She nodded and wanted to reject Neil, but she heard Neil say regretfully, “Really? You have an appointment with a friend, Ava? That's a pity. Today is your mother's birthday. Our family has finally reunited. I think your mother also hopes that we can sit down and have dinner together again.”
Upon hearing these words, Ava’s words of rejection were stuck in her throat. She was unable to speak for a while.
“Ava, if you can...” Neil sounded to be pleading with her, but in the middle of the sentence, he suddenly smiled with ease. “Since you have a prior appointment, it's better not to miss it. It’s fine for your mother and me to spend it together.”
“You can bring me along too if you don't mind.” Tom smiled. It seemed as if he was joking.
Neil warmly invited, “If you don’t mind, we can add an extra seat for you, Mr. Lowe.”
Tom smiled when he heard that. “Let's go, then. My car is parked on the side of the road.”
“You don't need to drive. It's just that apartment behind, so it's only a few minutes walk. Rae bought the ingredients for the meal, and I happen to have something to talk to you about, Mr. Lowe. Let's talk while we eat.”
After Neil finished speaking, he smiled lovingly at Ava. “Ava, do you want to ask if your friend is here? I’ll leave when you meet your friend.” Neil seemed worried.
Ava suddenly felt uncomfortable when she looked at Neil's amiable smile.
Although she had said a lot of decisive words, she was a little shaken when she heard Neil talking about family.
In a daze, Ava heard a beep on the phone. Daniel had sent another message to her.
Daniel: [Ava, there’s a sudden emergency at my house and I have to go back immediately. I can't pick you up right now, I'm sorry.]
