Poe Vaughn’s deep gaze changed as it landed on Ava Sterling, especially her belly. He said, "I know." Faye Vaughn looked surprised: "You know?" Faye Vaughn was very incredulous. She had only told her own daughter and not anyone else. Besides, her daughter hadn’t gotten close to Poe Vaughn for this moment. How did he know? Faye Vaughn couldn’t figure it out. She wanted to see if her brother really knew. Poe Vaughn watched Ava Sterling as she fed Erin Quincy, who was also feeding her. But how can a child feed like an adult? She fed the food directly onto Ava Sterling’s face. Ava Sterling was dumbfounded, and Erin Quincy was also stunned. Then quickly, Erin Quincy pointed at Ava Sterling’s face and giggled. "Auntie’s a little kitty now!" Ava Sterling simply rubbed her face against Erin Quincy’s face, then pointed at Erin Quincy and laughed heartily: "Our little Erin is a little kitty too!" Poe Vaughn watched Ava Sterling’s laughter, the cream on her face really made her look like she had cute little cat whiskers. He said, "If I say it, it won’t be magical anymore." After speaking, he walked towards Ava Sterling. Faye Vaughn was taken aback there. It won’t be magical anymore if you say it? Is this her brother, who never believes in ghosts or gods, speaking? Ava Sterling pointed at Erin Quincy, laughing heartily about the two little kitties, and then she mimicked a cat’s meow: "Meow~" Erin Quincy followed her and mimicked the cat: "Meow~" Their sounds were soft and joyful, one tender and innocent as they mewed, making those watching unable to help but laugh, and further stopped Poe Vaughn from wanting to wipe the cream off Ava Sterling’s face with a tissue. In the distance, Claire Vaughn and Sharon Sheridan were conversing. The two watched the big one and little one having fun on the couch, Sharon Sheridan’s face full of affection. Claire Vaughn was also seeing Ava Sterling for the first time. It could be said that the Ava Sterling displayed today at the Vaughn Family was something she had never seen before. She had been in the entertainment industry for many years, didn’t practice much else, but her ability to see people was slightly refined. Today’s Ava Sterling was totally different from the Ava Sterling shown in reports. It could be said that the reported Ava Sterling was a mask, whereas today she was the Ava Sterling behind the mask, the real Ava Sterling. "This child is indeed very different from what I once knew." Hearing her words, Sharon Sheridan’s gaze moved slightly, and the kindness on her face gained a touch of authority. She said, "You can’t just judge people by their appearance. Whether ugly or beautiful, one cannot conclude at a glance. Only by truly interacting and understanding can you know what kind of person they are." Claire Vaughn nodded: "Mother is right, many things cannot be generalized." "Tonight, I see this child as pure, without any guile." That’s why she was reported so miserably, smeared in every way. In today’s society, with advanced technology and information gathering, once something is reported frequently, the truth becomes indistinguishable. Especially for those appearing on the big screen without background or backing, it’s very difficult. Ava Sterling, having come this far, is not easy. Sharon Sheridan’s smile faded slightly, replaced by more authority as she spoke: "Claire, Ava once lived a very hard life, not easy at all, but now that she’s part of the Vaughn Family, she can no longer be bullied." "Do you understand what mother means?" Sharon Sheridan’s gaze fell on Claire Vaughn’s face, her smile completely absent, full of authority. Claire Vaughn lowered her head: "I understand, rest assured. As long as I am in the entertainment industry, I will not allow anyone to bully her anymore." Sharon Sheridan shook her head: "No, that’s not correct." Claire Vaughn paused and looked up at Sharon Sheridan. Sharon Sheridan looked at her sharply: "As long as someone from the Vaughn Family is around, Ava must not be bullied." Claire Vaughn understood and nodded solemnly: "I will ensure it." Everyone continued chatting and laughing, having fun, but ultimately the elders were older and after some birthday cake, they left. Sharon Sheridan held Ava Sterling’s hand, lightly pattng it: "Ava, grandma is leaving first. You and Poe should work well, but don’t work too hard, especially you. A girl shouldn’t be too tired. Poe can support you. Of course, grandma isn’t asking you not to work but just not to stress too much, okay?" Ava Sterling of course understood. The elderly lady cared for her, afraid she’d tire herself out. She understood deeply. Poe Vaughn’s grandma was like her own grandma. She understood the feeling of the elderly well. "I know, don’t worry. Although young, I’m always thinking of living till a hundred and twenty, so I’ve got to take care of my health. I ate all the nutritious meals Aunt You prepared for me this morning." Her words made Sharon Sheridan’s face immediately wreathed in smiles. "That’s good. Next time visit grandma, and grandma will make it for you again." Ava Sterling agreed happily, and Sharon Sheridan gave Poe Vaughn some instructions: "Poe, take good care of Ava. If next time Ava comes to visit grandma and is still so skinny, grandma won’t spare you." Sharon Sheridan was gentle and kind to Ava Sterling, but her face seemed to change sharply when it came to Poe Vaughn; she was stern. For original chapters go to N()velFire.net Ava Sterling felt a bit embarrassed watching from the side. Being biased this much, is it really okay? However, Poe Vaughn showed no discomfort at all, saying, "I will." Upon hearing his response, Sharon Sheridan finally wore a smile: "Good, good, then grandma will leave first." Ava Sterling waved to Sharon Sheridan, who gave her a kind smile. She got into the car, quickly, and the car drove out of the villa. Ava Sterling stood there watching, feeling sweetness inside. Didn’t do much today, just attended a birthday; very ordinary yet somehow her heart felt happy, content, and fulfilled. Poe Vaughn watched her, under the moonlight, her lips curled and brows slightly bent, full of smiles, with no sharp edges anymore. Little Erin had played to exhaustion and fell asleep, the maid carried her upstairs. The elders from the Vaughn Family also left, leaving only the younger generation. But now it was getting late too, after nine. Getting home to wash up and sleep would be around eleven or twelve. Everyone began to say their goodbyes, and Ava Sterling and Poe Vaughn joined in as well. But Ava Sterling and Poe Vaughn were the last to leave. Faye Vaughn held Ava Sterling’s hand laughingly and said, "Sister-in-law, you’ve married Poe, when will you hold the wedding?" Before Ava Sterling could answer, Faye Vaughn continued, "It’s your first marriages, no wedding held before. I’m already married, know lots of things, you must come to your sister if you need anything." Ava Sterling smiled brightly: "Of course!" Thinking inwardly, completely impossible. But no worries, outwardly must agree. "Haha, that’s good. But... " Faye Vaughn paused, her expression deepened with a smile, just like when she spoke to Erin Quincy about her wish, casting that same glance towards Ava Sterling. Ava Sterling instantly felt tense inside.
