Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Seeing that Ava had misunderstood him, Daniel hurriedly explained. "Ava, you're overthinking. How could I have such thoughts? You're my only choice, and I'm firm on that." Daniel solemnly expressed his intentions.

Ava knew that Daniel definitely did not mean what she thought, but when she heard Daniel's serious explanation and promise, Ava could not help smiling.

"Okay, I'm just joking with you. With your character, Dan, even if other women come up to you, I know you'll just stay away from them."

"Ava, don't make such jokes," Daniel said solemnly, "Also, call me Danny."

Daniel's serious eyes also made Ava serious. She nodded and put down the fork in her hand.

"Then, Danny, what do you mean by what you just said?"

"Ava, promise me that you'll stay calm when you listen to what I say." Daniel looked at Ava with pleading eyes.

Ava inexplicably felt that Daniel's so -called plan to get the best of both worlds might not be so simple. She looked at Daniel and said with a dignified expression, "Okay, I'll listen to you calmly." Daniel let some information slip. "Actually, I didn't come up with this method. It was Naya who told me this."

"Naya? What did she tell you?"

"She told me that my grandfather has loved her very much since she was a child, and she can't bear having him leave without peace of mind. Hence,

she's willing to give in and pretend to be engaged to me so that she can appease Grandpa and make him feel at ease. On the other hand, she won't interfere with my relationship with you." As she listened to what Daniel said, Ava gradually understood what he meant.

"Ava, if you don't want me to do it, I can say no."

"What will you do if you refuse? If you don't agree to get engaged to Naya, your grandfather will be very angry." Ava smiled helplessly.

She picked up the fork again and kept stuffing food into her mouth.

Everything here was her favorite food but right now, it was tasteless in her mouth.

"Did Naya come up with this plan?" Ava asked, staying as calm as she could. However, a storm was raging in her heart right now.

Daniel nodded. "It's her idea."

"Do you think she gave you this idea out of kindness? Have you ever thought that she might change her mind later? Your fake engagement might become a real one in the end."

"No, it won't." Daniel was very sure. "Even though Naya is very willful at times, I believe she won't fool around in this matter. Plus, I've told her clearly that I only see her as my little sister. I only have you in my heart and my future bride will only be you."

When Daniel said this, his eyes were filled with sincerity and gentleness.

Ava also saw the sincerity and love in his eyes. She saw the responsibility and attentiveness a man should have in Daniel.

However, Ava was still doubtful about Naya.

Even so, Ava did not tell Daniel this. Instead, she just said she wanted to meet Naya.

Hence, Daniel quickly agreed and set up an appointment with Naya.

Around evening, Naya showed up at the agreed location.

Ava and Daniel had just walked out of the cinema after a movie when they saw Naya, who had been waiting at the entrance of the cinema.

Naya immediately spotted the man she had admired since she was young, but when she saw Ava and Daniel holding hands, her expression changed. Then, she pretended to not see them and turned her head to look at the anime figurines.
