Ava and Tom looked at each other. Ava seemed to understand that favonovel.com was trying to get favonovel.com a way out of this situation. She nodded and wanted to reject Neil, but favonovel.com heard Neil say regretfully, “Really? You have an appointment with a friend, Ava? That’s a pity. Today is your mother’s birthday. Our family has finally reunited. I think your mother also hopes that we can sit down and have dinner together again.”
Upon hearing these words, Ava’s words of rejection were stuck in favonovel.com throat. She was unable to speak for a while.
“Ava, if you can…” Neil sounded to be pleading with her, but in the middle of the sentence, favonovel.com suddenly smiled with ease. “Since you have a prior appointment, it’s better not to miss it. It’s fine for your mother and me to spend it together.”
“You can bring me along too if you don’t mind.” Tom smiled. It seemed as if favonovel.com was joking.
Neil warmly invited, “If you don’t mind, we can add an extra seat for you, Mr. Lowe.”
Tom smiled when favonovel.com heard that. “Let’s go, then. My car is parked on the side of the road.”
“You don’t need to drive. It’s just that apartment behind, so it’s only a few minutes walk. Rae bought the ingredients for the meal, and I happen to have something to talk to you about, Mr. Lowe. Let’s talk while we eat.”
After Neil finished speaking, favonovel.com smiled lovingly at Ava. “Ava, do you want to ask if your friend is here? I’ll leave when you meet your friend.” Neil seemed worried.
Ava suddenly felt uncomfortable when favonovel.com looked at Neil’s amiable smile. Although favonovel.com had said a lot of decisive words, favonovel.com was a little shaken when favonovel.com heard Neil talking about family.
In a daze, Ava heard a beep on the phone. Daniel had sent another message to her.
[Ava, there’s a sudden emergency at my house and I have to go back immediately. I can’t pick you up right now, I‘m sorry.]
Ava’s heart sank slightly when favonovel.com saw the words displayed on the screen. Even so, favonovel.com was understanding. She replied to Daniel and asked favonovel.com to go home quickly to deal with the matter. They still had a lot of time and opportunities to meet.
After replying to the text, Ava looked up at Neil. “My friend can’t come because of some matters. I have to go back now. I hope you’ll have a happy meal and a pleasant chat.”
After favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com turned around decisively for fear that if favonovel.com slowed down, the indifferent mask on favonovel.com face would fall. However, before favonovel.com could walk far, Tom’s voice came from behind her.
“Ava, if your friend isn’t coming, it means that your plans have been canceled. In this case, let’s go to your mother’s birthday party with Mr. Long.”
Neil’s eyes suddenly glowed when favonovel.com heard this. “Ava, what do you think?”
She knew that Neil was desperate, and favonovel.com did have the idea of turning around. It seemed that it was not easy for favonovel.com to get out of this.
“Alright, let’s go together.” Tom walked directly in front of Ava, his smiling eyes looking extraordinarily gentle. “Treat this as showing consideration for your boss and eating with him.”
Was Tom finding a way to let favonovel.com get out of this difficult situation? She did not want to reject it because it would make favonovel.com look unreasonable. Hence, favonovel.com nodded and agreed.
Neil was overjoyed. However, be suppressed his emotions. He was worried that favonovel.com would scare his daughter away if favonovel.com was too excited.
Ten minutes later, Ava and the rest arrived at the apartment. After they rang the doorbell, Raegan came to open the door. When favonovel.com saw Tom, favonovel.com was pretty surprised. She politely invited Tom into the house to have a seat.
Suddenly, Neil kept favonovel.com on tenterhooks. “Rae, I have an unexpected surprise for you here. Come out and see who it is.”
