Naya was shocked when she heard that.Then, she smiled.
“It’s what I should do as a friend.”
“No, it’s not,” Ava smiled and said.
Naya’s expression froze slightly.She did not understand what Ava meant.
Ava smiled and explained, “Miss Mendez, don’t misunderstand.It’s just that you’re not related to the Grahams at all but you’re sacrificing yourself like this.This is so rare.”
The awkwardness on Naya’s face disappeared when she heard Ava praising her.
“Ava, it’s decided, then.I have something to take care of, so I’ll get going now.”
Naya grabbed her expensive bag after she said that.
Ava sat there and waved her hand.
“I won’t be sending you off, then.”
Naya was not happy with Ava’s cold attitude but she could only keep smiling.
Before she turned around, she stared at Ava’s face for two seconds.She had to admit Ava looked stunning even when she was bare- faced.
After Naya left, Ava leaned against the sofa feeling annoyed.
Naya clearly came prepared.
Even if she said no, Naya would still show up again.
Also, she did not want anything to happen to Daniel’s grandfather.
Ava thought about it silently and looked at the time.It was only eight.
Hence, she randomly grabbed a pillow and fell asleep.
After some time passed, Ava suddenly smelled the fragrance of food.
She thought she was dreaming, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Daniel’s handsome figure and the sumptuous food on the bar counter.
Ava quickly sat up and realized there was a fluffy blanket on top of her.She took a look at her phone and saw it was already noon.She had no idea she had been asleep for so long.
Daniel looked back and saw that Ava was awake.A warm smile appeared on his face as he walked toward her.
“You’re awake.You must be hungry, right? Go wash your face and I’ll eat with you.”
Ava blinked her sleepy eyes and looked at the plates of fragrant dishes.
“Did you buy the ingredients and come all the way here to cook for me?”
“Uh-huh.” Daniel smiled softly and gently held Ava’s hand.
“Go wash up now.”
Feeling Daniel’s concern and love, Ava smiled sweetly before obediently going to wash up.
After washing up, she appeared in front of Daniel without makeup.
Seeing the steaming food on the bar counter, Ava felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
While eating, Ava chatted with Daniel.She told him about Naya’s visit, but when she mentioned Naya’s fake engagement with Daniel, he stopped eating and his expression became serious.
“Why did she come here to talk to you about that? Ava, didn’t we agree that we’ll find another way? Why did you agree?”
Ava did not keep what Naya had told her when she came over a secret from Daniel.
“She said that you told her my address.As for why I agreed, I think that there’s no other better choice.I don’t want anything bad to happen to your grandfather, and I also don’t want you to be caught in a dilemma.”Upon hearing this, Daniel frowned.
“I never told her where you live, and I definitely won’t do anything you don’t like me doing.” Ava nodded thoughtfully.
In fact, she already knew all this.
Naya must have secretly looked her up and came to her place but she deliberately used Daniel’s name.
Ava could guess the reason why Naya was doing this.
“I’ll call Naya now and make it clear to her.We’ll cancel this arrangement,” Daniel said after having decided to call Naya.
Ava quickly grabbed Daniel’s phone and hung up the call.
“Ava?” Daniel looked at Ava in confusion.
However, Ava was beaming, and her beautiful eyes were shining.
“We’ll just carry on with it, okay? She’s doing this out of kindness, and this is a plan that’ ll get us the best of both worlds.”
“Ava, are you sure?” Daniel asked, feeling doubtful.
“Yeah! Of course!” Ava’s tone was firm.
“Danny, don’t think too much.Let’s eat first.”
Daniel breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the relaxed smile on Ava’s face, but he was still a little worried.He knew that his fake engagement with Naya would definitely make Ava feel uncomfortable.
The main reason why she said yes was because of him.She did not want him to be stuck in a dilemma After eating with Ava, Daniel cleared the tableware and cleaned the bar counter.
“Ava, I’m free today.I’ll accompany you.”
“Why? You should go to the hospital to accompany your grandfather.I still have to work.You’ll get bored if you stay here.”
“I won’t feel bored as long as I’m by your side,” Daniel said before going to make some black tea for Ava.
Then, he put the cut fruit on a plate next to the laptop.
He did not forget to bring some snacks over so that Ava could eat while she worked.
Ava felt her heart gush with sweetness when she saw this.
At this moment, her boss just happened to call her to ask her for the draft.
“Ava, have you finished the design for Mr.Rogers?”
“Don’t worry, Bill, I’m almost done with it.It’ll be ready after some finishing touches.I promise to give you a satisfactory design in two hours.Okay, that’s all.I’ll hang up now.”
Ava promised as she walked toward her laptop on the bar counter.
However, the moment she turned on her laptop, she was stunned.
Ava widened her eyes in astonishment, tossed her phone away, and quickly grabbed a box of tissues.She frantically pulled out several tissues.
“How can this be?”
“What’s wrong?”
Daniel, who was cleaning up Ava’s room, walked over worriedly.He saw that the laptop in front of him was completely soaked.
The keyboard was full of water, and he could see that there were lots of water stains.
Moreover, the screen was also covered with water.
After Ava finished wiping down the laptop, she tried to turn it on but the laptop did not respond at all.
“What’s the matter? It was fine when I used it last night.”
Ava’s face became anxious.She had stayed up all night last night, working nearly till morning.
All of her hard work was saved on the laptop.
“Ava, don’t worry.I’ll blow it with a hairdryer first.It may work.”
Daniel took the hairdryer and decisively blew it on the laptop.
Ava was waiting anxiously at one side.She was expecting something good to come out of this attempt.
After ten minutes of blowing, Daniel tried to turn the laptop on again but it still failed.
“Ava, I have a friend who’s in this business.I’ll take the laptop there and ask him to help salvage it.”
Ava had no choice but to let Daniel take the laptop for repairs.She changed her clothes and went with Daniel, but even after the professionals looked at it, the result was the same.
Ava could only accept it.
