After Ava left, the executive floor remained unusually quiet.

Everyone returned to their desks, but nobody could focus properly. What had happened between Cynthia and Mrs. Hale had been witnessed by almost the entire floor. Although nobody dared to openly discuss it, the occasional glance thrown toward Cynthia made it obvious that the incident was still on everyone’s mind.

Cynthia sat behind her desk pretending to review documents. The pages in front of her hadn’t moved for nearly ten minutes.

  • The Love We Never Expected    Chapter 104

    By the time Ava and Rachel left Mabel’s apartment, the sun had already begun to disappear behind the buildings.Ava settled into the back seat while Rachel started the car.For a few moments, Ava simply stared out the window, thinking about the afternoon.Mabel had looked much better than she had the last time Ava saw her, but Ava could still see the worry in her friend’s eyes whenever she mentioned finding another job.Ava hoped Mabel would take her advice and give herself enough time to recover.Her phone suddenly rang.She looked at the screen and smiled when she saw Daisy’s name.“Hello?”“Ava, are you on your way home?”“Yes. I just left Mabel’s place.”Daisy sounded pleased. “How is she?”“Much better. She’s still a little weak, but she’s recovering.”“That’s good.”There was a brief pause before Daisy added, “Thank you for visiting her.”Ava smiled.“Of course. She’s my friend.”“I know, but you always seem to worry about everyone else before yourself.” Ava laughed softly.“Som

    The next morning, Ava woke up feeling lighter than she had in days. Her visit to the Hale mansion had done her good. Seeing Daisy and Dora again had reminded her that, despite everything that had happened, there were still people who genuinely cared about her.After breakfast, she helped Mrs. Rose tidy the dining table before absentmindedly checking the date on her phone.Her eyes suddenly widened.“Mabel…” Mrs. Rose looked up from arranging the flowers in a vase.“Is something wrong, Madam?” Ava shook her head with a smile.“No, I just realized I haven’t visited Mabel since she was discharged from the hospital.”Mrs. Rose smiled knowingly.“I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you.”“I hope so.” Ava picked up her handbag from the sofa.“I want to surprise her.” Mrs. Rose nodded approvingly.“That’s very thoughtful.” Ava laughed softly.“She’ll scold me if I show up empty-handed.”“Then don’t.” Mrs. Rose pointed toward the kitchen.“I had the chef prepare some fresh pastries this morning.

    The dining room was filled with the comforting aroma of freshly prepared food.Ava sat beside Daisy while Dora excitedly told yet another story that had both Ava and Daisy laughing.“I still can’t believe you told the chef his soup tasted like medicine,” Ava said between laughs.Dora looked completely unapologetic.“Because it did!” Daisy shook her head helplessly.“You nearly gave the poor man a heart attack.”“He asked for my honest opinion.”“You could have been a little gentler.”“I was being gentle.” Ava laughed again.“No, you weren’t.” Dora grinned proudly.“See? That’s why I like talking to you. You always tell me the truth.” A maid stepped forward to serve another dish.Daisy immediately placed a piece of fish onto Ava’s plate.“Eat a little more.” Ava looked at the growing pile of food in front of her and smiled helplessly.“Mom, I’m already full.”“Nonsense.” Daisy poured her another bowl of soup.“You’re too thin.” Dora burst into laughter.“She said the same thing five mi

    Three days passed in the blink of an eye.Dominic buried himself in work while Ava spent most of her time reading, helping Mrs. Rose around the house, and trying not to think too much about Ethan’s offer.Yet, despite the peaceful routine, she found herself missing someone.She missed Grandpa Hale’s loud laughter, Daisy’s gentle smile, and Dora’s endless chatter.After breakfast that morning, Ava walked into the kitchen where Mrs. Rose was supervising the servants.“Mrs. Rose?” The older woman turned around with a warm smile.“Yes, Madam?”“I was thinking of visiting the Hale mansion today.” Mrs. Rose looked pleasantly surprised.“That’s wonderful. I’m sure they’ll be delighted to see you.” Ava smiled.“I haven’t been there in a while.”“They’ve been asking about you.” Mrs. Rose chuckled. “Especially Miss Dora. She complained just last week that you’ve abandoned her.” Ava laughed softly.“I suppose I deserve that.” Mrs. Rose nodded approvingly.“Go and enjoy yourself. I’ll have lunch

    Ava slowly walked down the staircase, her thoughts still lingering on the conversation she had with Mrs. Rose earlier.She knew she shouldn’t feel this way, Danielle was his daughter.A little girl deserved to have her father’s love, and Dominic deserved the chance to experience fatherhood.But no matter how much Ava tried to convince herself that everything was fine, a small part of her still felt like she was standing outside a door that no longer belonged to her.She stopped when she reached the living room.Dominic was standing near the table, a few photographs scattered in his hands.His expression was serious. Ava immediately noticed the tension in the room.“What happened?” Dominic looked up.Before she could get closer, he quickly gathered the remaining photographs together, making sure none of them fell to the floor.“It’s nothing.” Ava raised an eyebrow.“Nothing?” Mrs. Rose, who was standing nearby, looked worried. Ava walked closer.Only one photograph remained visible.He

    Danielle held Dominic’s hand tightly as they walked out of the park. The entire morning had been filled with laughter. For a child who had spent years wondering what it would feel like to have a father, every little moment seemed like a dream she didn’t want to wake up from.She swung their joined hands happily as she walked beside him, occasionally looking up at his face just to make sure he was still there.Dominic noticed her small actions but didn’t say anything.There was something about the innocent trust in her eyes that touched a part of him he never knew existed.“Daddy.” He looked down at her.“Yes?” Danielle placed a finger against her chin as she thought seriously.“I’m hungry.” A small smile appeared on Dominic’s face.“I thought you would be.” Danielle immediately looked up at him with excitement.“Can we eat together?”“Of course.” Her eyes brightened.“Really?” Dominic nodded.“Really.” She looked around the street, searching for the perfect place, before pointing towa
