S31 122. Point Number One

“My blessing?” Mrs. Connor’s eyebrows rose high. After one blink, she sighed in resignation. “Your

hallucinations are really bad, Ava.”

Eva put on a pitiful look. “That’s what | meant, Mom. You have to warn her. She could get worse if

she doesn’t get a serious warning.”

Mrs. Connor nodded faintly. Her gaze then turned to her biological daughter. “If you kept

mentioning your relationship with him, you better get out of my sight. Don’t expectto give you

a blessing. You won’t heed my advice.”

Aya’s tears thickened. At the stime, her blood was boiling, her heart ignited by anger.

“What if | could prove it? What if Mr. Harper cto you now and confirmed everything I said?” Her

tone rose. Her voice almost broke.

“Then you will pay for his play with extra service tonight?” Eva replied.

Ava gasped. “Do you think someone like Mr. Harper would do such a reckless thing?”

Before Ava had tto explain further, Mrs. Connor waved her hand towards the door. “Get out,

Ava. | want to talk to your sister. Your being here is just stressingout.”

“But, Mom, Mr. Harper and | are dating. Can you see this?” Ava pointed her finger. “His gave me

this ring as proof of his sincerity.”

Eva widened her eyes and tilted her head forward. No matter how

many times she blinked, nothing could be seen.

“Are you crazy?” Eva snorted triumphantly. She was entertained by Ava’s performance.

“You're the one who's crazy, Eva. A sane sister will always support her sister, but you never get

tired of ruining my happiness.”

“Ava! If you still consideryour mother, do your nonsense outside!”

Ava gasped. She didn’t know that her mother could yell.

“You still don’t believe me? Are you taking Eva’s side, like you’ve always done?” Ava’s

disappointment almost spilled over, but was held back by annoyance.

“Don’t makerepeat it, Ava. I’m so tired of you. Get out! My head is starting to hurt from hearing

your bullshit.”

Mrs. Connor was about to lie down again. Eva helped her with a pitying face.

“Oh, I'm so sorry, Mom.” Then with innocently furrowed brows, she glanced at Ava. “Sister, please behave

properly. Don’t make a fuss again. Poor Mom.”

Ava'’s bland laugh was in the air. She was the one who should feel tired, not Eva or their mother.

“If you don’t believe me, that’s fine. | don’t need your blessing to get married. | deserve to be happy too, Mom.

I've given in enough. | don’t want to sacrifice anymore for Eva’s happiness. That's enough! | can’t oppress you

any longer.”

Mrs. Connor's head, which had just touched the pillow, suddenly lifted. again. Her eyes were perfectly round.

“What did you say? Now you want to be a brat?”

“You yourself decided not to giveyour blessing. It's notwho doesn’t respect you, but you who don’t think

ofas a daughter.”

Mrs. Connor blinked with her mouth agape. She never knew that Ava had such a “rebellious side”.

“Now if you'll excuse me, | have to contact Jeremy. | should have agreed to get married when he asked me

yesterday. There's no point in delaying to ask for support that is impossible forto get.”

Ignoring Eva's cynical gaze, Ava turned towards the door. She didn’t want to ruin her defense with tears. Eva

must not know that her heart

was shaken.

As soon as Ava cout, the guards flinched. However, their expressions were flat, as if they didn’t hear

anything. Even so, Ava was still embarrassed by them. She lowered her head, walking quickly looking for a

hiding place. Her fists were cold and hard.

Right at that time, hurried footsteps caught her attention. When she raised her head, her eyes trembled

violently.

“Jeremy?”

“Ava?” Jeremy slowed down. “Am | late?”

Ava'’s tears instantly thickened, reflecting more sadness. “Why are you here? Shouldn't you be working in the

office? Your work could be delayed again.”

Jeremy shook his head faintly. “I went hwhen | got the report from the gate guard. Why did you let her in?

You violated point

number one.”

Biting her lip, Ava wrapped her arms around Jeremy. “I’m sorry. | just. wanted to prove point number two to you,

that | can’t be bullied

anymore.”

“Did it work?” Jeremy enveloped Ava in warmth.

Ava gathered her gaze. A twinkle in her eye gave the answer.

“It's okay, Ava. You've done your best. At least, they know you can defend yourself.”

“They thought | was hallucinating. My mother even threwout of her room. She didn’t want to give us her

blessing. Because of that, | said | didn’t need her blessing anymore. Am | impudent daughter?”

Jeremy shook his head. “It was Eva who was impudent. She

separated you from your mother.”

Ava’s eyebrows lowered further. Her lips escaped a faint sigh. “I'm sorry if my family didn’t welcyou the way

your family welcomed me.”

“It doesn’t matter to me. What's important is that you stay with me.”

As Jeremy kissed her pale face, Ava closed her eyes, suppressing the turmoil in her heart. Then, with teary eyes,

she absorbed Jeremy’s gentle gaze.

“Because I’m not waiting for her blessing anymore, | won’t refuse if you askto marry you.”

Jeremy’s eyebrows rose. “Are you sure?”

Ava nodded slowly. “I don’t want to make any more sacrifices for Eva. I’m tired of expecting my

mother to treat us the sway. | want to make myself happy-do everything according to my

wishes. | want to marry you.”

The corners of Jeremy’s lips turned up slightly. His eyes radiated various feelings.

“Well then,” Jeremy grabbed Ava’s fingers, “let’s go meet them.”

Ava widened her eyes and held his arm. “What for?”

“Even though we don’t need your mother’s blessing, we still have to tell them about our plans.

After all, they are your family.”

Ava was moved. Her nose flared and deflated with emotion. “My mother is truly lucky to get a son-

in-law like you. She should be

Jeremy smiled softly and kissed her pale lips. “Let’s go to your mother’s room.”

With a pounding heart, Ava let Jeremy take her hand. When they arrived at the room, they were

immediately greeted by Eva’s round

eyes.

“Sister, you really called Mr. Harper to help with your play?”

“Ava isn’t pretending at all. Our relationship is real.” Jeremy lifted Ava’s hand, showing how tightly

their grip was.

“] seriously love Ava. She is an extraordinary woman, the kindest and most sincere woman | have

ever known. | want to spend my whole life with her. Therefore, we plan to get married. Soon.”

Mrs. Connor blinked under the arch of her eyebrows. Meanwhile, Eva gaped, letting out a gasp of

disbelief.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Harper. | didn’t mean to offend you, but you don’t have to go that far to defend Ava.

If you cclean, we’d really appreciate it. Ava just needs to apologize, admit she was wrong. Then
