Bullying

Ava feared that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to resist arguing with Diana. An argument with Diana would inevitably lead to Diana crying to Nathan, which would only complicate things further for him.

After retreating to her room, Ava spent quite some time calming herself. Staying here was not a long-term solution; as long as she lived under the same roof, Diana wouldn't stop causing trouble. She needed a foolproof plan—moving out seemed like the best option. However, Ava hesitated, unsure of how to explain this to Nathan.

She considered moving out while Nathan was away and returning before he got back. To avoid affecting him, she decided not to tell him about her plan and instead discussed it with Zoe.
