Chapter 329 Can You Take Me to See Her?
Yaxley was embraced by Ava, who gently pushed her away a bit, allowing her to cling to his arm. “Why do you want to go to Riverdon?”
Everyone else had returned, so why was Ava still insistent on going to Riverdon?
Ava innocently replied. “Last time I went to Riverdon, didn’t I faint from heatstroke while shopping with Sophia? Sophia found the person who saved me, and I want to thank her.”
After speaking, she waited for Yaxley’s response but received no response.
Tyra interjected, “If you wish to thank her, simply send a gift. Your health is not great, so refrain from wandering around.”
She was genuinely concerned about Ava, especially upon learning that she had nearly died from heatstroke in Riverdon previously. She was hesitant to let Ava go out again.
Upon hearing Tyra’s words, Yaxley also advised Ava, “You should listen to Mom.”
Ava grumbled unhappily and persisted. “But I’ve already asked Sophia to help me arrange a meeting with the person who saved my life. I can’t just cancel, can I?”
She played her trump card.
Tyra smiled and said, “You should listen to me. I will have someone express gratitude to your lifesaver and present her with a generous gift as a token of appreciation.”

Just as Ava was about to say something else, the phone suddenly rang. Ava noticed it was a call from Sophia and informed the two of them, “It’s Sophia calling me. We must have everything arranged already. 1 must go in person.”
Without waiting for Tyra and Yaxley to respond, Ava answered the phone.
However, Sophia informed her, “Ava, Angela is not in Riverdon, so you may not be able to see her for a while.”
Ava was taken aback by this news, but sensing Sophia’s somber mood, she refrained from saying much and ended the call.
Tyra and Yaxley both gazed at her, and Ava had not thought of a reason to continue persuading them. Suddenly, Yaxley inquired, “Angela?”
“Huh? Angela is the one who saved me in Riverdon before,” Ava explained. “But Sophia said

she is not currently in Riverdon.”
Yaxley pressed further. “Angela Kins?”
Ava asked in astonishment, “How did you know? Are you acquainted with her?”
“Yes. She accompanied me to Northland to participate in a national training program.” Yaxley did not disclose to his family that he had enrolled in the selection process for the International Medical Association, so he only vaguely referenced the training program.
Ava was pleasantly surprised. “I didn’t realize you knew her. Can you take me to see her?”
Tyra also felt relieved, thinking that Ava should not persist in going to Riverdon.
“I can, but you must accompany me to the hospital to visit Grandma.”
When Yaxley mentioned this, both Ava and Tyra appeared uneasy.
Before they could respond, Yaxley continued. “Grandma mentioned you at noon today. She has something to discuss with you.”
“But Father won’t allow me to visit Grandma,” Ava innocently remarked.
She had been eager to go to the hospital, but her father had forbidden it, so the matter was left unresolved. If it weren’t for Yaxley bringing it up, no one in the family would have dared
to mention it.
“Tomorrow, I’ll take you there. Don’t worry about him.” Yaxley frowned and stated, then proceeded straight upstairs.
Ava hurried to catch up with Yaxley, “Yaxley, when will you introduce me to Angela? I have a gift for her, and I’d like to get to know her.”
Upon discovering that Angela was also in Northland, Ava felt relieved that she hadn’t gone. straight to Riverdon, avoiding a wasted trip.
Yaxley didn’t give her a specific time, only mentioning that he would inquire with Angela first.
Upon hearing this, Ava urged him to ask right away.
However, Yaxley went upstairs to retrieve something and appeared ready to leave.
Seeing him downstairs looking prepared to depart, Tyra quickly reminded him, “Didn’t we agree to have dinner at home? Your father will be back soon.”

“The house is spacious. Why do you want to stay in a hotel? Are you intentionally provoking me?” Jacob slammed the table, glaring at Yaxley.
The others at the table were taken aback by Jacob’s outburst, with Tyra holding Ava’s hand.
Ignoring Jacob’s anger, Yaxley calmly replied, “No.”
“No? I believe you are!” Jacob pointed at Yaxley. “You didn’t even inform your family when you returned to Northland! I only found out because someone saw you. Were you planning on coming back at all if no one had seen you?”
Tyra tried to intervene. “Don’t be upset, Jacob. Yaxley didn’t mean any harm.”
“He didn’t mean harm? Then, what did he mean? Don’t spoil him!” Jacob’s expression turned. cold as he glanced at Tyra, who fell silent.
Yaxley said, “This doesn’t concern Mom. You don’t need to be harsh on her.”
Tyra stiffened briefly, sighed, and said nothing more.
“Have you forgotten about your family? You secretly applied to a university in Riverdon without a word, not even returning to Northland during breaks. Now that you’re back, you don’t even want to stay at home?”
Yaxley remained composed, waiting for Jacob to finish speaking before leaving. “Are finished?”

Jacob stood up angrily, ready to confront him physically, but Tyra held him back, preventing. a confrontation.
“Let go of me! Let me teach him a lesson. He completely disrespects me!”

With that, Yaxley left.
Jacob was furing while Tyra tried to calm him down.

Why are you so angry with him? If he doesn’t want to stay at home, let him go. We can afford a hotel.”
Although Tyra said this aloud, she was actually uneasy. Since the previous incident, Yaxley seemed to have distanced himself from them as parents.
“This kid is deliberately provoking me! I wanted him to come back to discuss blind dates. 1 forgot again because of his provocation. Although Jacob was still upset, his tone was not as harsh as before.
Tyra perked up at the mention of blind dates and asked eagerly, “Blind date? With whose daughter?”
Jacob scoffed. “Whose daughter? He’s been fooling around in Riverdon for years. Which decent family in Northland would consider him? Find some suitable matches for him to
meet.”
“You should discuss this with Yaxley. He’s more likely to listen to you.”
Feeling lost, Ava sat at the dining table for a while before quietly slipping upstairs after overhearing a few words.
Once upstairs, she contacted Yaxley.
“Yaxley, Dad wants you to go on a blind date and not just one.”
Upon connecting the phone, Ava promptly relayed the news she had just heard to Yaxley. showcasing her adeptness at being an informant.
