Chapter 2316
The way he entered the door was very natural. He was talking and laughing as if he belonged to this family. “I
wanted to chat with my old friends today, but I didn't think that Tom would suddenly have an important guest to
see, so he left me there.”
Ava heard Neil's voice in the kitchen. She looked up and brought the freshly made dishes to the table.
Only then did Neil notice that the person busying away in the kitchen was Ava. He stopped in his tracks and was
slightly stunned.
Seeing Neil ina daze, Raegan quickly walked to his side and said in a low voice, “Tonight's dishes were all made by
Ava.”
When Neil heard this, a look of delight and surprise appeared on his face. However, he soon furrowed his brows.

“I wonder when my daughter started learning how to cook?”
He sighed regretfully and turned to face Raegan. 2 ‘It feels like our daughter has always been preoccupied. I
wonder if it's because of our future son-in-law.”
“It must be. Ava has lost a lot of weight taking care of Dan these days. What I don't understand is Dan's parents.
That girl named Naya is very hateful and even spent money to instigate someone to tamper with Ava's car, but for
some reason, someone else became her scapegoat.”
The more Raegan spoke about the incident, the angrier she became. When she thought about how Naya's original
target was Ava, she was fuming. “That Naya person is vicious and merciless. She looks soft and weak on the
surface, but her heart is malicious. I'll never let her go unpunished like this.”
“I read about this incident on the internet, but I didn't know at the time that the person who was almost harmed
was our daughter.”
Neil's expression also looked increasingly serious. “What’s the origin of this Naya person? How could someone be
willing to take the blame for her?”
“It’s probably because of money. They still can’t get to the bottom of this yet.” As soon as Raegan finished
speaking, she caught a glimpse of Ava coming out of the kitchen. Then, Raegan quickly took two steps back and
drew some distance from Neil.
Ava noticed this, but she just smiled faintly. “Food is ready. We can eat now.”
Neil hurriedly responded with a smile, “I heard that you’re the one who made the dishes, Miss Long, so I really want
to try them.”
Ava did not answer Neil.
After the three of them walked to the dining room and sat down together, Neil picked up his fork and tried some
food. A delicious taste started dancing on his taste buds. This joyful feeling could not be described by words.
“This is really the best dish I've ever eaten.” Neil could not control his excitement and praised passionately.

Ava smiled when she heard this. Then, she parted her lips indifferently, “Dr. Long, with your status, you must have
tasted countless delicacies before. Why do you have such a high evaluation of an ordinary home-cooked meal like
this? What's more, the dishes I cook are not half as good as my mother’s.”
Upon hearing Ava's words, Neil immediately denied it. “How could they be the same? No matter how good those
delicacies are, they can't compare to these because my precious—”
Neil almost blurted out the words ‘precious daughter’ but stopped himself because of a look from Raegan.
He stopped quickly and coughed twice to smooth things over. “I mean, this is a home-cooked dish that you made by
yourself, Miss Long. It's rare for me to have a chance to taste it. So, of course, I think it's unique and also
extraordinarily delicious.”
“I don't think that's the reason.” Ava suddenly refuted what Neil said. She slowly put down the fork in her hand and
raised her eyes to look at Neil, who was suddenly stunned.
“Actually, you meant to say because it was made by your precious daughter, right?”
