Chapter 1093
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
What a coincidence.
Someone was wearing the exact same dress as her.
Even though it was not a bad thing to wear the same outfit as another person, the uglier one of the two would feel awkward.
However, this was not about appearance. The problem was that this dress was a brandâs limited fall edition and there was only one in the entire world. Now, they were wearing the same dress. This could only mean that one of them was wearing a fake.
Ava knew where her dress came from. When she noticed that the girl was not looking at her, she contemplated before letting go of Danielâs hand and turning around.
âWhere are you going?â Daniel asked curiously.
When Old Master Graham heard Danielâs voice, he looked over while he was talking with a group of people.
âDan is back.â Danielâs mother beamed as she walked over. âDan, didnât you say youâre going to pick up a friend? Where are they?â
Daniel grabbed Ava who was trying to bolt and introduced, âItâs her. Her name is Ava Long.â
When Mrs. Graham saw Daniel holding Avaâs hand, the smile on her face disappeared.
Then, when she saw the dress on Ava, her face fell further.
Ava noticed the changes in Mrs. Grahamâs expression. Even so, she still smiled politely.
âHello, Mrs. Graham.â
Mrs. Graham replied coldly, âMiss Long, your dress is quite interesting.â
She was obviously mocking her. Then, she grabbed Danielâs arm. âDan, Naya is here. Sheâs just over there.â
Mrs. Graham pointed at a stunning young woman next to Old Master Graham.
This woman named Naya was the person who was wearing the same dress as Ava.
Daniel finally noticed this. At the same time, he understood why the guests had been looking at Ava strangely when she walked in.
Mrs. Graham pulled Daniel over, but instead, Daniel turned around and grabbed Avaâs hand to bring her in front of the old master. He introduced, âGrandpa, happy birthday. Didnât you always bug me to get a girlfriend? Look, I brought her back today.â
Ava felt Danielâs acknowledgment of her. Despite the unfriendly gazes staring at her, she still handed the gift to the old master with a smile and wished, âHello, Old Master Graham. Happy birthday. I hope you live a long life.â
After the old master heard that, he ignored Ava and did not accept the gift. He looked at his grandson and said, âDaniel, Naya is back. I want to use this opportunity to set a date for your wedding.â
Ava was shocked by what the old master said. However, Daniel did not waste any time and said, âGrandpa, I already have someone I like.â
âSomeone you like? Naya is the most suitable person for you and sheâs also the person who likes you the most.â
The old master pulled the woman named Naya to his side.
âNaya is the only daughter of the Mendez family. Sheâs the best match for the Grahams based on her family background and education. You two often played together when you were younger as well, so youâre basically childhood sweethearts. Itâs decided, then.â
âThank you for looking kindly upon me, but Dan has already brought his girlfriend home. I think I should not cause any trouble,â Naya Mendez smiled and said understandingly. Then, she gave Ava a friendly smile.
Ava recomposed herself and smiled back at Naya.
However, she then heard Mrs. Graham scoffing in disdain. âWhat girlfriend? The Grahams donât have an embarrassing daughter-in-law who wears fakes.â
Mrs. Graham glanced at Ava. âMiss Long, donât blame me for being too straightforward. You should wear clothes that you can afford with your salary. If you canât afford certain dresses, then you should just simply not wear them. However, you chose to wear a fake to the old masterâs birthday party as Danâs girlfriend. Who are you trying to embarrass?â
