Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Naya's voice could be heard from the door of the emergency room.

Daniel and Ava lifted their eyes to look over at the same time. Naya looked like she was in discomfort, but her complexion looked fine. She did not look like a patient who had just passed out because of stomach pain.

Naya's eyes shone as she looked at Daniel. Then, she turned her head to look at her mother. "Mom, why are you here?"

"I called your parents, " Daniel explained.

Ava smiled and leaned against Daniel. Then, she said, "Miss Mendez, you looked like you were in so much pain in the restaurant and Danny was worried something bad would happen to you, so that's why he informed your parents."

Naya pulled the corners of her lips into a half-smile. "I see. I'm sorry for making you worry, Danny. I'm so sorry."

"It's good that you're fine." Daniel's expression looked indifferent, and he did not have much else to say. "Rest well. Ava and I are going back."

"Alright, okay," Naya nodded obediently and answered.

When Naya's mother saw this, she did not agree. "No, Naya, how can you "

"Mom, take me home now. I'm still a little dizzy."

Naya grabbed her mother who was still trying to criticize Ava.

On the way home, Naya's mother kept rambling on in the car.

"Naya, are you dumb? You had such a good chance to pretend to be sick so why didn't you prolong it?

Daniel is a good man and won't turn a blind eye. You don't know how to capture the heart of a man at all!

"Mom, I'm already very annoyed right now. Can you stop talking?"

Naya complained, unable to take it anymore. When she remembered how affectionate Daniel was toward Ava, she felt extremely pissed.

"I'll make Danny my man sooner or later."

"Hmph." Her mother scoffed. "You're saying it like you're unbeatable, but you can't even deal with Ava."

Naya felt even more unwilling and pissed after being scolded by her mother.

"Naya, don't you know how to use such a good chance?" Naya's mother looked at Naya like she had failed to live up to expectations. "If this goes on, your Danny will become someone else's husband and you won't even have the time to cry over it. Plus, the Grahams are on your side, so what's there to consider?"

"I don't want to ruin my image in his heart," Naya admitted it quickly. "I don't know what Danny likes about Ava. She looks so normal and she's only an interior designer. She has no background and no status. She's not a match for Danny at all."

"Of course, she's not! That's why the Grahams don't like her. There isn't another woman in Glendale who's suitable for Daniel."

When Naya heard her mother say that, she felt more confident.

"Naya, men can't stand temptations. There are unlimited desires in human beings. As long as you're willing and become more savage, the man you want will naturally be yours. That's how I got you back then." Naya's mother hinted at her.

Naya did not say anything but she was contemplating in her heart.

After she thought about it, she smirked.

After Ava and Daniel went home, they went to find another Italian restaurant for dinner.

After a while, Ava asked Daniel, “Danny, did you know Naya from when you were younger?"

"Ever since I started primary school, she'd go to school and go home with me. However, I never had any romantic feelings for her."

Daniel told Ava the truth and then emphasized that. Ava nodded and asked, "So, what do you think Naya is like?"

"She... She's an obedient and sensible girl. I don't know much about anything else."

"Obedient and sensible." Ava was seriously doubting these two descriptions.
