The car came to a smooth stop at The Vaughn Residence after an hour. The driver got out and opened the car door. Ava, still a bit angry, didn’t even glance at the person beside her before getting out and heading inside. But just as she thought of something, she stopped after a few steps and turned to look at the person who was leisurely and unhurriedly getting out of the car. They were a loving couple, so she couldn’t show any signs of discord, or else the old lady would worry. This person was certainly going to cause trouble. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ⓝovelFire.net So Ava took a deep breath, suppressing a bit of anger inside her, walked over directly, and took Poe Vaughn’s arm, glared at him, and walked inside with him. Poe Vaughn had his hands in his pockets, watching the person who was clearly displeased but had to endure it, like an angry child who’s been teased, making people unable to resist wanting both to tease and to console her. With a slight pinch of his thumb and index finger, the small velvet box fell into his palm. Ava was trying hard to look happy and normal, otherwise, if the old lady noticed, it would be troublesome. So she kept reassuring herself that it was nothing, just a small matter. A very small matter indeed, and the fact that he directly called the doctor seeing her discomfort was clearly concern for her, a good intention. She couldn’t blame him. Although his approach was somewhat lacking in thought, it’s said there’s a cause before an effect, it can be understood. Therefore, she shouldn’t be angry, she should be moved. So, Ava turned to look at him, and the little bit of anger in her eyes had vanished, she could be said to be very amiable. But just at that moment, a black velvet box was presented in front of her, and Ava’s smiling face instantly froze. As she stopped, Poe Vaughn naturally also stopped. He looked at the person who became dazed the moment the box appeared in front of her, his gaze unchanged. Ava wasn’t stupid, nor blind, the velvet box was obviously high-end, in the same class as the rewards he had given her before, naturally, it was filled with money, money, money inside. An endless amount of money. But why was he giving her this thing? The task he gave her hadn’t even been a month. Ava blinked several times, forcing herself to calm down, and raised her head to look at him. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, what did he mean? She had to figure it out. However, she didn’t know how to begin, she hoped it was meant for her, yet also hoped it wasn’t. The sky wouldn’t rain down pies, but what if it did? Poe Vaughn gazed at her, with her wide-eyed, suspicious eyes clearly telling him what she was thinking. Poe Vaughn parted his lips: "Bought it on a whim." Ava’s eyes almost bulged out. What did he mean? Bought it on a whim and then casually gave it to her? Does a business mogul need to buy random stuff for women on a whim? Ava was so shocked she could not speak, nor could she make a sound. Poe Vaughn looked at her eyes filled with disbelief, more astonished than just now, his eyes shifted slightly: "Don’t want it?" With that, he slightly curled his thumb and index finger and was about to take it back. At that moment, Ava’s hand moved swiftly, immediately snatching the box from his hand, gripping it tightly: "Who said I didn’t want it?" "Once you give it to me, it’s mine, you can’t take it back, right?" Ava hid the box behind her, watching him warily. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, nor will pies fall from the sky for no reason, only traps. But she couldn’t care about that now, since he said he bought it casually, then it’s casually for her, and she believed it! Moreover, with him being so rich, why couldn’t he buy on a whim? So, she just took it regardless! However, some words need to be said clearly, just in case. Poe Vaughn glanced at her petty act, withdrew his gaze, his hands in his pockets, and a low "hmm" escaped his throat. He stepped forward, ignoring her. Ava immediately beamed with a smile, quickly opened the box, and was instantly stunned.
