At this moment, Sharon Sheridan looked at her in surprise, while Poe Vaughn also glanced over, his gaze landing on her face. The atmosphere was quiet. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Poe Vaughn watched the person standing beside Sharon Sheridan, her face stiff, her body also stiff, as if she couldn’t understand why she would say such a thing—it was incredible. However, this appearance in his eyes was like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, creating huge splashes. His heartbeat sped up. She wanted to give him a child. Such a thought was wonderful. Sharon Sheridan looked at Ava Sterling’s stiff face, her heartbeat also quickened. She looked at Poe Vaughn, and at this moment, Poe Vaughn’s expression was very different from what she usually saw. It was as if someone without a heart now had one, someone without feelings now had them. And all these changes were because of the person in his eyes. Sharon Sheridan’s elderly heart pounded fiercely, losing its usual rhythm, as she grasped Ava’s hand tightly and said tremulously, "Really?" "Does Ava really want to give Grandmother a great-grandchild?" "When? Why don’t we start planning this month?" Without waiting for Ava Sterling to answer, Sharon Sheridan quickly spoke, "Don’t worry, with Grandmother here and little Poe, you can freely get pregnant and have children. Once they are born, Grandmother will help you take care of them, and you can do whatever you want, absolutely no worries." Ava Sterling’s heart trembled momentarily, her spirit returned. Having a baby, and planning for next month—how could that be possible? She still needed to work. How would she work if she had a baby? Her career relies on her youth, just these few years, having a child would delay her for a year, where would she fit in then? Ava Sterling suppressed her panicked heart, trying to remain calm and composed: "Grandmother, I am thinking of having a child with Poe Vaughn, but not now." "It’s a bit too soon now, we haven’t had the chance to properly enjoy being just the two of us yet. I still want to enjoy our world together alone, be romantic, and maybe wait a year or two before we have a child." As she said this, Ava Sterling looked at Poe Vaughn, hinting for him to play along. The words had already been spoken, but it was entirely to make the old lady happy. To comfort the old lady. She was saving him, considering his interests—he had to cooperate. At this moment, Ava Sterling wasn’t afraid at all of her thoughts being known by this person, there’s a saying, "to use the enemy’s strategy against them," and she thought she was perfect at using it now. Poe Vaughn absolutely wouldn’t suspect. Those bright eyes glanced over, filled with urgency and threat, almost as if saying, if you don’t speak now and let the old lady worry herself sick, don’t blame me. Newest update provided by ɴovelfire.net Poe Vaughn’s eyes moved, their deep color sinking, he looked towards Sharon Sheridan, and spoke: "We are planning to have a child." Ava Sterling blinked, not knowing why, her heart also skipped a beat, it was strange. But soon such oddity disappeared, she immediately smiled broadly at Sharon Sheridan: "See, Grandmother, Poe Vaughn also likes children." Sharon Sheridan looked at Poe Vaughn, gazing into those deep eyes, within them something faintly moved, and she smiled. "Hmm, not bad, not bad at all." "You’re both thinking about having children, Grandmother is very happy." "But one isn’t enough, you should have two, or even three." "Ava shouldn’t worry, The Vaughn Family can afford to raise them." It’s not that she worries about being unable to afford them, but it’s simply impossible. However, now everything was for the sake of the old lady’s happiness, so Ava Sterling nodded, nodding repeatedly: "I also like having many children, lots of kids are fun, one child is too lonely, not fun." "I love twins the most, a boy and girl pair, having two at once, that’s absolutely wonderful!" "Hahaha... this is good, this is great. Ava has the same ideas as Grandmother." "But, you cannot deceive Grandmother, since you’ve told Grandmother, you must start planning." "Otherwise Grandmother won’t believe you." Planning, surely not starting next month? Ava Sterling immediately looked at Poe Vaughn for help. Next month, it really won’t work. She needed to work, she didn’t want to have a child now. Poe Vaughn stepped forward, took Ava Sterling’s hand, faced Sharon Sheridan’s meaningful gaze, he spoke: "Grandmother, Ava and I will have a child, but not now." "Now, it’s too soon." The light in Sharon Sheridan’s eyes dimmed slightly. The child she raised, she could tell truth apart from lies at once. Poe Vaughn indeed planned to have a child with Ava Sterling, but certainly not now. He was answering her genuinely, not dismissively. "Grandmother knows, you just got married not long ago, you really should enjoy your world together, it’s not good to have children too early." "So, focus on this, Grandmother won’t bring this up again this year, but next year Grandmother might start urging." Ava Sterling let out a sigh of relief, next year will be next year’s concern, let’s get through now first. She promptly nodded: "We’ve listened, Grandmother rest assured, this will be something Poe Vaughn and I will keep in mind, we’ll definitely let you hold a big fat great-grandchild, you don’t have to worry!" Seeing Ava Sterling’s convincing vow, as if she spoke the truth, then looking at Poe Vaughn, who already had plans in his mind, Sharon Sheridan’s smile settled on her face, at ease. "Then let’s go, we’ll go back for breakfast." Ava Sterling immediately stepped forward, taking Sharon Sheridan’s arm, her whole demeanor brightened. As long as she made the elderly happy, she could say anything. Poe Vaughn walked alongside Ava Sterling, looking at her lively expression, filled with smiles, as if the earlier words were casually spoken and disappeared. Yet, how could that be? Some words can be said, some cannot. Since she spoke them, they must be fulfilled. He looked ahead, his deep eyes slightly squinted at that moment, containing calculations and insights Ava Sterling did not see.
