Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 2189

Daniel was initially in a bad mood because he had to go along with Naya’s fake engagement, but when

he saw Ava and heard what she said, his mood instantly became way better.

“Really? You can’t wait to marry me?” Daniel hugged Ava tightly, and the way he spoke made it obvious

that he was overjoyed. He could not wait for that day to arrive.

Ava smiled and stopped hugging him. Her eyes showed how happy she was as she looked into

Daniel’s tender eyes.

“Of course. Why else would I have come over? Did you think I was jealous?”

“Uh-huh. Of course, I’d think that my girlfriend was jealous and didn’t trust me.” Daniel joked with her.

“And why would that ever happen? I trust my boyfriend wholeheartedly, but to say that I’m not jealous

at all would be a lie.”

Ava also laughed along, but her heart started to ache for Daniel.

It seemed that Daniel was the only one who was kept in the dark about things.

He really thought that it was just a fake engagement and that Naya was kind enough to help out

because she did not want his grandfather’s condition to worsen. However, the truth was everyone was

lying to him and setting him up.

Ava felt the need to tell Daniel the truth because she could not let him go ahead with the engagement

ceremony with Naya. Otherwise, things would become very complicated if everything were to become

official.

After Daniel heard what Ava said, his heart started to thump enthusiastically.

He knew that although he had not been in love with Ava for a long time, he was convinced that Ava

was the person he wanted to protect forever.

That was why he thought now was a good time.

Daniel silently thought to himself and suddenly became a little nervous.

He reached inside his jacket pocket because he wanted to take out the custom-made engagement ring

that Madeline had designed for him to present to Ava, but when he felt around in his pocket and

checked twice, he could not seem to find the velvet box.

Daniel thought it was strange, and Ava watched him curiously.

“Danny, what are you looking for?”

Daniel paused for a moment because it was supposed to be a surprise for Ava. Of course, he could not

tell her what it was, so he had no choice but to make an excuse.

“I’m looking for tissues. I think I probably forgot to bring them.”

“I have some here.” Ava smiled as she pulled out a piece of tissue from her bag and handed it to

Daniel.

From afar, Naya had a sullen look on her face as she watched Daniel and Ava embracing each other.

She was so angry that her chest felt tight and her stomach was full of unease.

However, a wicked smile of triumph gradually crept onto her face.

Naya lowered her head slightly and raised her hand to look at the velvet box that was currently on her

palm.

“It’s mine. It has always been mine. Even if it initially belonged to you, it’s in my hands now.” Naya

smiled sinisterly and was about to walk away when Mrs. Graham walked over in the afterglow. Naya

immediately hid the velvet box in her hand and quickly changed her expression to one of sadness. She

even pretended to wipe a tear before turning around with a look of sadness.

When she turned around, she acted as though she had just seen Mrs. Graham.

“Mrs. Graham, why are you here?” Naya pretended to be surprised and immediately went up to Mrs.

Graham. “Come, let’s walk together, Mrs. Graham.”

“Naya, what are you doing here? Why are you crying?”

Puzzled, Mrs. Graham walked closed to Naya and looked behind her. “What did you see that made you NôvelDrama.Org © content.
