Chapter 2240
About half an hour later, Madeline and Jeremy arrived.
Seeing that Madeline had brought fruits and her homemade dessert, Ava pretended to be depressed. “Maddie, If I
knew you would bring fruits and desserts, I wouldn't have asked Danny to go out to buy them.”
“What? Do you feel bad that your future husband is outside in such cold weather?” Madeline teased while helping
Ava prepare dinner.
Ava was used to it and she admitted, saying, “Yes,of course. I feel bad since it’s so cold out there. You'd feel the
same way if it was your man.”
It was an open concept kitchen, so Madeline glanced at Jeremy, who was sitting on the sofa watching the projector
screen while eating fruits. She said indifferently, “He and I have been married for so long. How would we be as

“Married for so long, huh? You’re not any less sweet than those young couples fresh in love,” Ava replied with a
smile and subconsciously looked at the time. “I'll give Danny a call.”
Ava wiped her hands and picked up the phone. However, no one answered the call even though it got through.
For some reason, Ava's heartbeat suddenly became very unstable.
She tried calling again but still, no one answered. Madeline noticed Ava's worried expression and stopped doing
what she was doing at the moment. “What's wrong? Is Dan not answering the phone?”
“Yeah, he’s not.” A look of worry appeared in Ava's eyes as her heartbeat became uneasy. “ Nothing bad happened
to him, right?”
“No way. Maybe he’s not paying attention to his phone because he’s driving or his phone is on silent mode,”
Madeline guessed aloud. It helped relieve Ava a little.
“That's possible. We'll just wait, then.” Ava held her phone, but it seemed to be getting more difficult for her to
breathe. She felt as if something was stuck in her throat and she could not get it out.
Ava walked back to the kitchen but she was absent -minded.
Madeline also noticed Ava's inattentiveness and knew that she was worried about Daniel.
It had been more than an hour since Daniel went out. There was a supermarket near the apartment, and it only
took ten minutes to drive there. Ava did not think that Daniel would take so long when she took time to make a
round trip and shop into account.
Daniel had not responded to the message she sent him after he went out either.
The more she thought about it, the more restless her heart became. She could not wait any longer, so she took off
her apron and was about to go out. Jeremy, who was sitting in the living room, raised his eyes when he heard the
commotion. When he saw Ava's nervous expression, he felt a little strange. “What's wrong? What happened?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Dan has been out for a long time and he’s not back yet. Ava is a little worried and wants to go to the supermarket
nearby to take a look,” Madeline explained. “Jeremy, you should stay here. I’ll accompany Ava out to take a look at
things.”
“l drive you,” Jeremy said and got up.
Madeline and Ava did not reject his offer. They went out together.
On the way to the supermarket, Ava clenched her fists. Cold sweat started appearing in the palms of her hands
unknowingly.
She kept having a bad feeling.
This feeling seemed to be confirmed when she saw a crowd gathering at the crossroad not far away from the
supermarket.
“Stop the car!” Ava yelled those three words, unable to control herself.
Jeremy quickly stopped the car, and Ava opened the door to quickly run over.
