Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife

Chapter 2195
The diamond on the ring once again reflected under the bright lights with a flash of dazzling brilliance.
The next moment, Daniel got down on one knee, looked at Ava with devotion, and spoke with a seri expression, “Ava, although we haven’t been together for a very long time, my heart tells me that you’re the only one I want to spend the rest of my life with.”
He confessed his love to her and followed with a direct proposal.
“Ava, will you marry me? Will you be my wife? I promise that I’ll love and cherish you with all my heart for the rest of your life. I promise to take care of you and protect you with my life. I don’t want to marry anyone but you.”
Daniel said the last part seemingly for those people who wanted to set him up with Naya.
Meanwhile, Naya felt that Daniel was saying that to her!
She felt as if she had been humiliated. She clenched her fists and dug her nails hard into her palm as she tried to restrain her emotions that were about to explode.

When this happened, all the guests were shocked.
Maisie, who had wanted to introduce Ava to her big brother, could not help but feel a little disappointed. However, she knew that feelings could not be forced, so she was also surprised and delighted. She quickly urged Ava, saying, “Come on, Ava! Say yes!”
All of this was also unexpected for Ava because Daniel’s proposal seemed to have come out of the blue. I t was so out of the blue that she previously thought that this day was still far, far away. However, it seemed that he had already prepared a ring.
Besides that, she could tell that it was no ordinary ring as it was designed with elements that she liked.
She could guess that Daniel had specially asked Madeline to design the ring because she had told Madeline what kind of jewelry she liked last time. Ava had even excitedly told Madeline that she would like her wedding ring to be designed by Madeline herself one day if she was ever getting married.
Ava felt a surge of sweet warmth flowing through her heart as she looked into Daniel’s expectant, reverent eyes before smiling again.
However, just as she was about to nod her head and reach her hand toward Daniel, Mrs. Mendez suddenly lunged forward and slapped the ring out of Daniel’s hand.
Daniel was caught off guard, and the ring, which carried some weight, fell. The ring box rolled around the red carpet before landing at the feet of a woman. 1
The woman quickly bent down and picked up the ring box that had fallen at her feet.
When Ava looked up at the woman, she saw a pair of eyes that contained a mixture of anger, resentment, and heartache.
She froze because she did not expect to see her own mother here.
Daniel immediately got up and glared at Mrs. Mendez irritably. He turned to retrieve the ring box but Mrs. Mendez relentlessly pulled his arm.
