The Love We Never Expected Chapter 56
The moment Dominic ended the call, Ava knew something was wrong.The calm and relaxed mood she had been enjoying all afternoon disappeared instantly. Just a few seconds earlier, she had been smiling while thinking about Lina and Mabel. Now, uneasiness sat heavily in her chest.She lowered the phone and stared at the screen for a moment.Rachel noticed the change immediately."What happened?" Ava shook her head."I don't know."That was the truth because Dominic hadn't explained anything.He had only told her to return home immediately and the seriousness in his voice was what bothered her most.During the drive back to the mansion, Ava found herself looking out the window without really seeing anything. Her mind kept creating possibilities.Had something happened to Grandpa Hale?Was someone sick?Was there a problem with the birthday preparations? The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.Rachel drove a little faster than usual. Neither woman spoke much during the j

Ava woke up without thinking about guest lists, decorations, or Grandpa Hale’s birthday celebration. The moment she opened her eyes, she felt tired.Ever since Grandpa Hale had placed her in charge of the birthday preparations, everyone seemed to want something from her. There was always another meeting to attend, another decision to make, or another problem waiting to be solved.Even her free time no longer felt free. As she sat up in bed, her thoughts suddenly drifted to Lina and Mabel.She hadn’t seen them properly in weeks. The realization made her feel guilty.Lina had started her new school. Mabel was still working hard every day.Meanwhile, she had been so busy with her own life that she barely called them. Ava grabbed her phone and checked the time.It was still early.A small smile appeared on her face, maybe she could surprise them.The idea immediately lifted her mood. Half an hour later, she was already dressed and heading downstairs.Rachel was waiting as usual.The bodyg

The private lounge of the Sapphire Women's Club was filled with soft music and quiet conversations.The club was one of the most exclusive places in the city. Only wealthy women and members of influential families could enter. Every afternoon, wives from powerful families gathered there to drink tea, discuss business, and exchange the latest news.Today was no different. Some of Hale family women occupied one of the largest private sections.Expensive handbags rested on chairs. Delicate cups sat on the table. The atmosphere appeared pleasant from a distance.The topic of discussion had already turned to the same person.Ava Hale.One of the women stirred her tea before shaking her head."I still don't understand what Father was thinking."Another woman immediately nodded."Neither do I." The conversation quickly gained momentum. Everyone seemed to have an opinion.Grandpa Hale's decision had shocked the entire family.Many of them had spent years trying to earn his trust.Yet Ava had

The Hale family estate was busier than usual that weekend. Cars entered and left the large gates one after another. Workers moved around carrying decorations, flower samples, invitation designs, and stacks of documents. Everywhere people seemed to be preparing for one thing.Grandpa Hale's eightieth birthday celebration. Ava sat beside Rachel in the car as they drove through the gates.She looked out the window and frowned."I thought this was just a family meeting." Rachel glanced at her through the mirror."It is." Ava looked at the dozens of people walking around the estate."It doesn't look like one." Rachel's lips twitched slightly."Welcome to the Hale family.” Ava sighed.That answer somehow made everything worse, the car stopped in front of the main building.As soon as Ava stepped out, several workers greeted her politely. She smiled and greeted them back before entering the house.Inside, the atmosphere was even busier.The large living room had been turned into a temporary

Vanessa stared at her phone for nearly ten minutes before finally pressing send. The message was short.She simply asked if they could meet. she thought Dominic would ignore her.Lately, he had been avoiding her completely. Ever since his marriage, everything had changed.The calls had stopped and casual conversations had stopped.Even family gatherings felt different now. Dominic treated her the same way he treated every other person in his life.The thought made her chest tighten. A few minutes later, her phone vibrated.Her heart immediately jumped. She opened the message.Dominic had agreed to meet her. He told her to come to his private lounge after work.Vanessa stared at the message for several seconds. A smile slowly appeared on her face.This was exactly what she needed. Maybe once they talked alone, things would be different.Dominic would finally understand how she felt and he would see what had been standing in front of him all these years.The hope stayed with her the ent

Ava arrived at the academy feeling much better than she had a few days ago. After the strange lunch with Serena and her classmates, she had decided to stop worrying about things she could not control. Serena clearly wanted to get under her skin, but Ava refused to give her that satisfaction.As she stepped out of the car, Rachel followed a few steps behind as usual.The academy grounds were already busy. Students walked across the courtyard carrying books and chatting with friends. The morning air was cool, and the atmosphere felt lively.Before Ava could enter the building, she heard someone calling her name.Chloe came running toward her with a coffee cup in one hand and a notebook in the other."You are early today." Ava laughed."You're one to talk." Chloe rolled her eyes dramatically."I only came early because I forgot to finish my assignment." The two women entered the building together.As they walked through the hallway, Ava noticed Serena standing with a group of students n
