Ava: "..."
Ava was speechless.
She thought that once Poe said he wouldn’t do it, he’d stop thinking about it. Who knew he had been thinking about it and had made arrangents early on.
Well, she had to work tonight again.
What a headache.
After Poe finished speaking, he stayed silent.
The big hand that was holding Ava’s wrist loosened. He picked up a bathrobe and dressed Ava with it, wrapping her skin inside.
Wrapped snugly.
Her body was for his eyes only, no one else.
Before Ava could complain, Poe had already put the bathrobe on her, which made her frustration diminish a lot.
And with this improved mood, hunger ca back.
When Poe tightened the belt of Ava’s bathrobe again, Ava went limp.
She leaned against Poe, as if turning into jelly, weakly saying: "Why haven’t the food been delivered yet..."
"I told them to be fast, why is it taking so long? Are they delivering it to the ends of the earth or what..."
Ava, leaning against Poe, instantly turned from energized to bone-weary, like she had suffered a huge blow, making Poe imdiately open his arms and hold her.
He frowned at her, the calmness in his eyes that had just returned changed again.
The air around him beca heavy.
However, after hearing Ava’s complaint, Poe carefully looked at her face and made sure she was just hungry, then he said: "It will arrive soon."
With that, he hugged her around the waist and carried her to the dining chair.
Just as Ava sat down, the doorbell rang.
Ava leaned back on the chair, not wanting to move at all, but when she heard the doorbell, she instantly beca alert.
As if rejuvenated, she imdiately sat up straight and looked towards the closed suite door, quickly saying: "The food delivery must be here!"
Her words made it sound like she had been imprisoned and starved for a long ti, getting excited just hearing the doorbell.
Excited, Ava was about to go open the door, hurrying to let the food in.
However, she had just stood up when Poe pushed her back down.
Looking at this instantly spirited person, Poe said: "Sit tight, I’ll get the door."
Ava wanted to say she could go, why did he have to do it?
She could dash over quickly, but facing Poe’s deep eyes, her words got stuck in her throat.
"Oh, alright, you go."
After speaking, Ava sat back down, her eyes directly turned to the suite door, watching eagerly.
Seeing she was seated securely, especially with that impatience, Poe said nothing more and went to open the door.
Outside the door, the waiter and hotel manager stood with a dining cart.
Obviously, they were here to deliver food.
Upon seeing Poe, the manager respectfully bowed, then together with the waiter, pushed the dining table inside.
Ava’s eyes imdiately glued to the food, not moving.
However, she subconsciously swallowed, with her hunger roaring fiercely.
She didn’t look at the ti, had no idea what ti it was.
But Ava guessed, it must be afternoon by now.
Last night, she and Poe had a regular dinner, afterward, they hung out, and it was quite late when they returned to the hotel.
Afterward, they did that thing, and in the blink of an eye, it was now.
Ava thought she hadn’t eaten for maybe over ten to twenty hours.
For soone like her with a big appetite, to hold out until now was already the limit.
The manager and waiter placed dish after dish on the table, perfecting every little detail in the process, from which dish to serve first to the final touches to ensure maximum freshness and flavor.
It could be said, they were not in any hurry.
Ava watched, wanting to just say stop fussing, she’d eat right away.
However, thinking that sotis the last step is the most crucial, Ava restrained herself.
Anyway, the food had been served, she’d just wait a bit longer.
So, Ava sat up straight, eyes fixed on the manager and waiter fussing about, just waiting for them to be done to start eating.
Seeing Ava sitting steadily in the dining chair, not moving anymore, Poe went to the bathroom to wash up. After drying himself off, he sat facing Ava.
However, Ava paid no attention to Poe.
At the mont, to Ava, except the delicious food on the table, nothing else mattered.
After a while, the manager and waiter finally finished, and left with the dining cart.
Once they turned around, Ava imdiately began grabbing food and eating, like a starving wolf, cramming her mouth full with food, savoring every bite.
Ava wasn’t so wealthy family heiress, didn’t follow any polite rules, she was just an ordinary person.
She grew up experiencing hardship.
Back then, there was very little food, even rice had to be bought, and she often went hungry.
So, Ava always had an attachnt to food.
Just as her grandmother told her, eat well, don’t waste food, fill your stomach.
That’s the most important thing.
So, she never diets, eats what she should eat, drinks what she should drink, never allowing herself to go hungry.
Just, entering the modeling industry, many bad habits had to change.
Even if it’s just pretending, she had to do it well.
So, in the eyes of others, Ava appears regal and unattainable, soone to look up to. But with people she’s familiar with, like Poe, she doesn’t hold back at all.
She shows her true self, openly and honestly.
Anyway, in front of Poe’s discerning eyes, she couldn’t pretend even a little.
She didn’t care about Poe, nor about her image, devoting herself to eating, not acknowledging Poe at all.
But Poe wasn’t displeased. He picked up chopsticks to serve her food, pour her soup, attentive and considerate.
Poe had never done these things before, didn’t know how to, but after eting Ava, many things seed to co naturally, feeling there was nothing wrong with it.
Ava quickly finished a bowl of rice, which was already half filled with soup.
She imdiately gulped it down.
That was one hearty drink.
When Poe saw that her bowl was empty, he said: "Give the bowl."
Ava, after finishing her soup, licked her lips with her tongue. The savory taste remained in her mind, bringing imnse satisfaction.
The deep voice in her ear made Ava slightly dazed, and she asked: "Give you the bowl?"
"Why?"
Subconsciously, Ava handed over her soup bowl to Poe.
Poe didn’t take it. He looked at her empty rice bowl: "The rice bowl."
Ava blinked, finally realizing what Poe intended, imdiately bead a bright smile, set down the soup bowl, got up with her rice bowl to get herself more rice.
Refilling rice is sothing she should do herself, couldn’t have Poe doing it.
He had taken such good care of her, she’d feel bad.
Quickly, Ava filled her bowl with rice, then looked at Poe’s bowl, which only had half eaten.
However, she imdiately leaned over, took Poe’s bowl, and filled it with rice.
"Hubby, you’ve been working hard these days too, eat more~"
Her stomach now content, her mood improved, so her words beca nicer, her voice sweeter.
A full bowl of rice in front of Poe, even pressed firmly, just to show him her care.
Poe replied with a hum, picking up his chopsticks to eat.
Watching this, Ava’s smile grew brighter.
And so, the two of them ate together.
Once Ava finished her al, she slouched back in the dining chair, enjoying the comfort of a full stomach, suddenly thinking of sothing important.
