Chapter 1110

Daniel said sharply and grabbed Ava’s hand before swearing solemnly.

“Listen here, I won’t give up on the woman I love because of her family. If you want the Mendezes to be your in-laws so much, you should go and do it. But don’t involve me with irrelevant people.”

“…” Mrs. Graham was shocked when she heard that.

Daniel was always so refined and soft-spoken. This was the first time he had an outburst.

Then, Daniel grabbed Ava and left, leaving everyone at the table to look at each other in shock.

Naya pressed her lips into a thin line. This was the first time she was humiliated.

She was the only woman in Glendale who was compatible with Daniel, but now, she was defeated by this woman.

How would she be able to take this?

After Daniel sent Ava back to her apartment, he apologized for what happened.

However, Ava was not bothered at all. On the contrary, she was smiling happily.

Daniel did not understand why Ava was smiling and not mad. He asked nervously, “Why are you not mad? You weren’t mad at me at Grandpa’s birthday party as well.”

“Do you want me to be mad at you, Dan?” Ava asked with a smile. Then, she explained, “When I was sad and aggrieved, you stood up for me with no hesitations. To me, that’s the biggest acknowledgment and support, so that’s why I’m happy. Why should I be mad?”

After Daniel heard that, he felt more relaxed.

“Are you really not mad?”

“Of course not. Also, I want to make you a nice meal.” Ava walked to the open kitchen and started making dinner.

Perhaps she was in a good mood, so she only looked at Daniel and not the chair in front of her. In the end, she crashed into it.

Daniel hurried over to hold her waist. “Watch out.”

Ava let out a sigh of relief. After she stood up, she felt some warmth on her back and smelled the faint scent of bluebells. At that moment, her heart started racing.

“T-Thanks, Dan.”

Daniel smiled softly and got close to Ava’s ear.

“Call me Danny next time.”

“…” Ava felt her ears heating up. She looked up into Daniel’s expecting eyes and called out, “Danny.”

Daniel smiled and nodded. When she uttered that intimate nickname, Daniel could taste just how sweet love was.

…

The night was dark.

After Madeline put the children to sleep and handed her youngest son to Karen, she drove to the building again.

She missed Jeremy and still could not forget the pair of eyes she saw that day.

“Jeremy, you don’t even know what Pudding’s name is. Why did you leave me?”

She lowered her head to look at the man in the photo. Then, her vision started getting blurry.

She wanted to leave after a while, but when she lifted her head, she saw the face that was tattooed on her heart.

She sat in her car and looked at the man walking past while feeling at a loss.

“Jeremy?”

Madeline’s mind went blank as she looked at the man walking toward the building while feeling dispirited. His tall figure swayed gently in her teary eyes.

Madeline suddenly came back to her senses and stopped spacing out. She rushed out of her car and yelled at the man’s back, “Jeremy!”

The man slowed his footsteps while walking toward the building upon hearing her voice.
