Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 2209

Ava looked at the person sitting by the window of the restaurant from a distance. Then, her vision

landed on that person’s bag on the chair. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

After staring for a while, Ava gradually understood something.

She made an excuse and said that she wanted to eat the cream puffs from a certain shop that had

gone viral online. She asked Daniel to buy them for her now. Daniel felt that Ava was trying to send him

away, but he figured that she had her reasons, so he did not ask any more questions. He obediently

went to buy the cream puffs for Ava. After she saw that Daniel was gone, Ava looked in that person’s

direction and grabbed her phone to call Raegan.

Raegan never thought that Ava would take the initiative to call her. She was so excited that she almost

dropped her phone.

She thought that she could finally chat with Ava, but Ava just said a few quick words before hanging up

the phone.

Raegan was stunned for a moment while holding the phone. Then, she came back to her senses. After

Ava hung up the phone, she walked straight to that person.

Before she could get close enough, Ava heard that person talking to the man sitting opposite her.

“You speak too highly of me, Mr. Biles. I'm not as good as you said.” That person was being very

modest, and she put on a shy expression.

Ava took two steps closer and heard that person say in a serious tone.

“Actually, I’ve always felt that both men and women should rely on themselves and work hard to make

money. I’]] only have a sense of satisfaction and achievement if I buy something I like with the money I

earn. I’m not like some other women who would get boyfriends and make them buy gifts for

themselves. I don’t think that’s right.” °

As soon as that person said those words, the eyes of the man sitting across from her suddenly lit up

with admiration and respect.

“Miss Channing, you said it so well. Every time I go ona date, those women would ask me how much I

earn and if I have a house or a car. I thought those women were too snobbish. I'm really happy to have

met such an upright woman like you, Miss Channing.”

The man kept complimenting Fiona. It seemed he had a good impression of her.

When Ava heard this, she already understood it completely.

Was Fiona on a date?

This man looked pretty decent judging from his appearance, and it seemed that his family was also

quite well-off.

Fiona obviously wanted to snag a rich husband. It did not matter if Fiona wanted to get a rich husband

or if she wanted to put on an act because Ava could not control her life decisions, but looking at the

bag on the chair, Ava felt that shehad to step in.

The man sitting opposite Fiona seemed to notice Ava's presence. He glanced at Ava curiously and

asked suspiciously.

“Miss Channing, is this lady your friend? She seems to have been standing behind you for a while.”

Fiona paused after hearing that and turned to take a look.

When she saw Ava standing not far away from her, her heart violently skipped a beat.

She subconsciously lifted her hand to tug the bag she put next to her. She seemed to not want to let

Ava see it, but Ava had already seen it. She also noticed Fiona’s gesture.

“A-Ava? Why are you here?” Fiona was speaking a little incoherently.

Ava grinned softly and approached them. “What a coincidence. My boyfriend and I were eating around

here too, so I spotted you. That’s why I came over to say hi.”

2’ When Fiona heard Ava’s explanation, she felt even more uncomfortable.

They could even run into each other like this? When did Glendale become so small?

As Fiona was silently cursing in her heart, she heard Ava let out a gasp of surprise all of a sudden.
