Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 119. Point Number Three

A few minutes earlier, Ava was still on the phone.

“You get some rest. Don’t get sick again. And don’t forget to eat.”

Jeremy’s voice was light. Ava couldn’t help but smile. “Okay. Don’t forget to eat either. See you tonight.”

“Yeah, see you tonight.”

After hanging up the phone, Ava bit her lip. However, her cheeks still pulled up a smile.

“Jeremy is very sweet and caring. I would never have known if I still closed my heart.”

While clutching the phone, Ava looked at her other hand. There was nothing there, but her eyes sparkled as if the world’s most expensive diamond was on her finger.

“I hope I can take good care of this ring.” Then, clenching her fist, she exhaled quickly. “I can’t let him down. I’m a different Ava now. I’m stronger, more assertive and confident.”

While Ava was focused on planting suggestions, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Thinking it was Melanie, Ava opened it.

“Yes Mrs. Mel-Senior Bryan?” Ava’s eyebrows rose, as did her tone. Bryan was tickled to get such a response.

“Sorry to bother you. Are you busy?” He smiled warmly.

Ava blinked awkwardly. Point number three from Jeremy was still clearly etched on her mind.

“Not really. I was just about to go to the dining room. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Brian stopped hiding his hands behind the waist. Apparently, a lunch bag was hanging from his fingers.

“What a coincidence, I also want to have lunch. How about we eat together? Do you mind?”

Ava froze. Her brain worked hard to find a way to refuse gently. “Has my mother eaten yet?”

Brian nodded. “I just finished feeding her.”

“Then, Mrs. Melanie?”

Bryan repeated his head movements. “She was eating alone earlier, gracefully. If I hadn’t read her medical history, I would have thought she was an elegant noblewoman, especially with that big bun.”

Bryan twirled his index finger above his head. Ava couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly.
