Chapter 2201
Ava's words shocked both Raegan and Daniel, who were standing by the side.
Both of them thought that Ava would be heartless, but it turned out that she was not. Raegan froze for a few
seconds before a look of surprise and joy appeared on her face. She had not felt so happy in years.
"Of course, I don't mind! I don't mind at all! I’m not busy tomorrow. Come and see me tomorrow when you're done
with work! I can wait for you!” Raegan's voice was a little shaky, and she could not hide the joy flashing in her eyes.
"You guys should rest early, then. I’l] go back too. Daniel, take good care of Ava. I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, take care, Mrs. Xander. I'll take care of Ava, don't worry," Daniel promised Raegan.
He could clearly see how happy Raegan was.

Ava stood at the same spot until Raegan was not in view anymore. After that, she withdrew her gaze, and her eyes
quietly turned red.
Daniel saw the subtle change in Ava's expression and immediately closed the door. He guided her by her shoulders
and brought her back inside. "Treally thought you'd completely shut her off. Although I don't know what happened
between the two of you, I can see that she's very apologetic and genuinely concerned about you."
Ava smiled bitterly. "Unfortunately, her concern came too late."
Daniel furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Can you tell me what happened between both of you?” Ava gently sat
down on the sofa. After a few moments of contemplation, she parted her lips lightly and said, "When I was in junior
high, my parents split up because they were incompatible. My mom wanted a career while my dad scolded her for
only thinking about work and not her family. Then, the two of them separated.
"I thought it was fine because many parents ended in divorce. ] accepted it, but I didn't realize that neither of them
wanted me."
Daniel gazed at Ava with a heartfelt look but did not quite understand. "You mean neither of them wanted to raise
you?"
"Yes, neither of them wanted me." Ava's eyes narrowed. When she said that, she could not help but clench her
hands.
Daniel felt a sharp pain in his heart. He reached out to hold Ava's hands tightly, trying to reassure her and give her
some warmth.
Ava felt Daniel's kindness and gentleness. She smiled slightly, but it was a bitter smile. "Compared to my mother
who only cared about her career, at least my father was a little more conscientious. He left me with my elderly
grandmother, but she died in an accident within six months. I had no relatives who were willing to take me in, and

When Daniel heard what she told him, his heart broke.
When Daniel saw the tears rolling out of the corners of Ava's eyes, he took her into his arms and offered her
comfort.
"That's all in the past."
"Yeah, it's all in the past." Ava shut her teary, red eyes. Even after being alone for all these years and despite all the
dark days being behind her, she suddenly felt scared again.
"Daniel, will there suddenly be a day when you won’t want me anymore like my mom and dad?” Daniel loosened his
embrace, gazing deeply and sincerely into Ava's teary eyes.
"No matter what happens in the future, you’ ll always be my number one.”
