"Poe Vaughn, we aren’t going to the Qingshan Villa, are we?"
When he said we’re going ho to eat, does he an going back to her apartnt at The Kestrel Apartnts or to his Qingshan Villa?
Or, back to the old ho?
No way, right?
If that’s the case, how much ti is she going to lose?
Ava was on the verge of tears.
Even though he’s the big boss, he can’t just do whatever he wants, can he?
She’s a human being, not his toy he can just ss around with as he pleases.
Ava felt she needed to defend her dignity, so she said seriously, "Poe Vaughn, let tell you, although we..."
"Going back to The Kestrel Apartnts."
Before she could finish, his deep magnetic voice interrupted her.
Ava was dumbfounded.
Going back to The Kestrel Apartnts? Not heading to Qingshan Villa?
Did she get it wrong?
But why?
What’s so important that we have to go to The Kestrel Apartnts to eat? Can’t we just have it delivered?
Ava had more questions, many questions. Her lips parted to ask, but before she could speak, Poe Vaughn’s voice ca again, "The teacher will co ho to tutor."
Ava: "..."
She didn’t know if she was shocked or what, but upon hearing Poe Vaughn’s words, Ava was montarily speechless.
Poe Vaughn listened to the mont of silence over the phone, then he said, "Co down."
After saying this, he hung up.
"Beep beep beep..."
The busy tone ca directly from the phone, and Ava’s face turned dark.
Has he arranged everything?
Having her go ho to eat, then the teacher cos over to teach her, no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like a problem, but wouldn’t he find it troubleso?
He specifically ca to pick her up and then go back, isn’t this just wasting ti?
Ava thought he must have sothing up his sleeve; otherwise, why do sothing so pointless?
The main thing is, it doesn’t seem like sothing Poe Vaughn would do.
Now that things were clear, Ava didn’t dare to delay, she imdiately picked up her bag and books, left, and quickly went downstairs.
No more wasting ti; she’s already wasted countless hours thinking about this person today.
It’s more precious than gold.
Ava got into the elevator, out of the elevator, and out of the company, all in less than a minute. She ca to the car outside.
The swift driver didn’t have ti to get out and open the door for her.
Bam!
Ava got into the car like a gust of wind, slamd the car door shut, and then said to the driver, "Old Zhang, hurry up, to The Kestrel Apartnts."
The driver saw Ava get into the car, closed the door he had just opened, and started the vehicle.
Upon hearing Ava’s words, the driver looked in the rearview mirror at the person sitting beside Ava.
Poe Vaughn was watching Ava, his eyes deep and unreadable, but there was one thing the driver could discern.
That is concern.
Their mister is now undoubtedly very concerned about the missus.
"Okay, missus."
The driver withdrew his gaze and imdiately stepped on the accelerator, quickly driving the car into traffic.
Ava didn’t forget about Poe Vaughn; after speaking, she looked at the person next to her and directly said, "Why are we going ho to eat today?"
"Why not just have Aunt Wei send it over?"
"Do you have sothing going on?"
Otherwise, what could cause him to suddenly have such a whim?
The person next to her looked over with clear eyes, and those direct words landed in Poe Vaughn’s ears, clearly expressing her curiosity.
Poe Vaughn turned his gaze and looked forward, "Going ho for sothing fresh."
Ava: "..."
Ava was rendered speechless.
What he ant was that he didn’t want to eat food stored in a thermal container because it didn’t taste as good as freshly made.
But he’s eaten it before; he didn’t mind at all.
Now he minds.
What a temperantal person.
Ava couldn’t say it aloud, but in her heart, she was seriously criticizing.
However, suddenly a flash of light crossed her mind, and Ava’s criticism stopped abruptly.
She rembered sothing Lauren told her about the Rhodes Family.
So, is this person’s odd behavior now because of that?
Ava imdiately had an epiphany.
Yes, it must be.
This person has nothing outwardly unusual, seemingly unaffected by anything, but he’s not a deity; how could he be entirely unaffected.
He is affected, just not in the way ordinary people might express it.
He’s very restrained, and his manner of showing it is vastly different from ordinary people.
Like this unusual behavior now, it can fully explain his internal struggles.
Thinking this, Ava’s face suddenly showed sympathy, and she imdiately wrapped her arms around Poe Vaughn’s arm, leaned her whole body onto him, and said with special sympathy, "Whatever hubby says goes, I’ll listen to you."
She almost couldn’t resist saying not to bother with those scoundrels, but fortunately, she hadn’t been drinking, so she was sober and didn’t say sothing so irrational.
The person who was angry and displeased a mont ago seed to transform into soone else the next mont, voluntarily leaning on him and speaking such hypocritical words.
Poe Vaughn looked down at the person holding him.
His brow furrowed, face full of pain and sorrow, like he had suffered countless wounds, which she saw and felt incredibly sorry for.
Poe Vaughn’s eyebrows slightly knitted, rare indeed.
He looked at the person in his arms, this suddenly unusual person, her facial expression and thoughts in her eyes.
Sympathy, pain, anger, dissatisfaction—all seven parts true and three parts false.
By previous standards, such expressions should not have any truth, all should be false.
Yet now, there is seven-part truth.
Poe Vaughn’s deepened gaze.
Ava saw Poe Vaughn staring at her without a word, his expression clearly not understanding what she was doing, why she was acting this way.
Ava imdiately sighed inwardly.
It’s said that when God opens a door for soone, He must close a window.
In front of her, he sure was.
This person has intelligence, but his emotional intelligence is concerning.
He has no idea she’s feeling heartache for him because of the Rhodes Family issue. He likely wouldn’t guess it, as they’re only a fake couple.
Still, although he wouldn’t guess, she still had to do what she should.
Properly comfort him.
"Hubby, the world is beautiful; you must not get upset."
Poe Vaughn: "..."
Driver: "..."
The atmosphere in the car fell silent for a mont; Poe Vaughn initially wanted to understand what the person in his arms was thinking, but now he didn’t want to know.
His eyes turned forward, on this sunny bright day, the sun was dazzlingly bright, the weather also very fine.
Everything as usual, everything unchanged.
The world is beautiful, which he fully knows.
Ava realized Poe Vaughn was entirely ignoring her, realizing she had spoken too far.
As if insinuating he was about to jump off a building.
Really unlucky!
Ava ntally spat several tis, hurriedly trying to retract her previous statent. Her brain operated quickly, rapidly seeking a solution.
And swiftly, she ca up with a resolution.
Took out her bag, rummaged through it, and quickly produced a lollipop, thoughtfully peeled off the wrapper, and held it up to Poe Vaughn’s mouth, "Hubby, have so candy."
