Ava managed to appease Poe Vaughn and thought of a problem – there were no toiletries or change of clothes for him at her place. She decided to have Mrs. Wei prepare them and asked Old Zhang to deliver them. With this in mind, Ava immediately pulled out her phone from her bag, saying as she did, "There are no toiletries or clothes for you here. I’ll call Mrs. Wei to have them prepared and sent over." The person in her arms moved away in an instant, seemingly eager to do something. Poe watched her movements and heard her words, and said, "Old Zhang will deliver them." Ava was about to call Mrs. Wei when she heard Poe’s words and looked at him, "Old Zhang will deliver? You’ve already made the call?" Her face was full of surprise; clearly, she hadn’t expected this. Ava’s eyes widened as she looked at the gorgeous and handsome man. Had he already planned to stay over at her place? Otherwise, how would he have taken care of such a small detail ahead of time? In an instant, Ava squinted. It was certainly true; otherwise, how could he be so quick? Poe faced Ava’s penetrating gaze, his eyes shifting to the TV, and said, "Only clothes will be delivered; toiletries need to be bought separately." Ava frowned instantly, saying immediately, "Why only deliver clothes and not toiletries? There aren’t any toiletries for you here, so if they’re to be delivered, it should all be sent together." "Besides, you’re so particular; you definitely won’t like the ones outside, only the ones you’re used to at home." As she spoke, Ava continued to pick up the phone to call Mrs. Wei. This person is truly baffling. One moment she thought he was very considerate; the next, it was a facepalm moment. He isn’t considerate at all. In fact, he’s quite absent-minded, able to forget such little things. Ava was silently complaining, her fingers not stopping, but... A deep voice reached her ears, subtly lower than before, no longer sounding as cold. Ava had just dialed the number when she heard Poe’s voice. She hesitated, then looked up at him, seeing that the man who had been watching TV was now focused on her. His eyes were intensely dark, as if telling her he hadn’t misspoken – they should go buy them. Not have them delivered from home. Ava found it odd – why not have them delivered? She could have just instructed Mrs. Wei to pack new ones, so why bother going out to buy? She couldn’t figure it out. However, looking at his commanding gaze left no room for negotiation, Ava thought, when the client insists, you go along. Her opinion wasn’t important; what mattered was the client’s opinion. So, Ava nodded, "Alright, let’s go buy them." This person surely hasn’t been to a supermarket or mall. Perfect chance to take him shopping today and see what to buy. Come to think of it, she hadn’t been out shopping for quite a while either. As she spoke, Ava stood up, picked up her bag to put her phone back in, but just then, Mrs. Wei’s voice came through, "Madam?" Ava paused, then picked up her phone to check. The screen showed she was already on a call – she had forgotten she had dialed the number. Ava put the phone to her ear and said, "It’s alright, Mrs. Wei." The call was about to end, but Ava suddenly remembered something, and called, "Mrs. Wei." Mrs. Wei heard her voice and halted her attempt to hang up, picking up the phone again, "Madam, what is it?" "It’s this – Poe Vaughn and I won’t be home tonight. Remember to water the flowers and plants in the backyard." "Alright, I’ll water them. Don’t worry, Madam." "All right, that’s it." After saying this, Ava was about to hang up, but then Mrs. Wei thought of something and quickly asked, "Madam, do you want me to prepare clothes for you? I just finished packing Mr. Vaughn’s clothes, and Old Zhang will deliver them soon. If you need your clothes packed, I’ll do them together and send them with Old Zhang." Ava paused, then blinked, looking at the man seated beside her. Poe had already turned his gaze away and turned off the TV. Clearly, he was ready to head out. Ava’s eyelashes fluttered, and she smiled sweetly, "No need, I have clothes here." With no other concerns, Ava hung up the call. She looked at Poe Vaughn, who had already placed the remote on the coffee table and was heading towards the entrance. It seemed he was eager to go shopping now, and she was joining him. Ava watched this tall man, admired his broad shoulders and narrow waist, finding him handsome wherever and whenever she looked, and her smile deepened. Apparently, he was quite interested in her place, having already instructed Mrs. Wei to prepare clothes to be delivered, yet leaving hers out because she had clothes here. He had thought it through early on. Except, there was one thing she didn’t understand – why not send everything together since they were already being delivered? Why insist on going out to buy? Was he just bored and wanted to go out for a stroll? Ava couldn’t guess this man’s intentions, but, well, whatever he says goes. He’s the patron, her current backer, needing to be catered to. Ava laughed, tucked her phone in her bag, and quickly went over, changed shoes, closed the door, hooked her arm through Poe Vaughn’s, and headed for the elevator. She hadn’t gone shopping with him before, and Ava felt this was a novel experience she liked very much, felt very excited, and was secretly thrilled inside. However, soon enough, Ava remembered a question. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel·fiɾe·net "Poe Vaughn, if we go out to shop, won’t we be seen by someone, discovered, and then reported on?" The two of them entered the elevator; Poe pressed the button for the floor, and soon, the elevator doors closed. This crisp voice reached his ears, carrying excitement and apprehension, and he said, "No." Ava immediately smiled, "Then I’m relieved." "I’m just afraid of being reported, then our relationship would be exposed." "We can’t have it exposed, or else reporters would chase us every day, eyes watching us everywhere we go, very annoying." "I hate being followed the most; it makes me uncomfortable." As she spoke, Ava was full of displeasure. Because two years ago, she had been constantly followed, and it was very annoying. Poe listened to her voice full of dissatisfaction, turned to look at her, and saw a face full of displeasure, seemingly having suffered from this before. He said, "No." His deep voice fell into her ears once again, Ava’s smile instantly brightened, and her hand holding onto him tightened, "That’s good." "We’ll just shop normally, buy things as usual. By the way, you haven’t been shopping, right? Shall we go shopping tonight?" Ava looked at him, her eyes full of anticipation and excitement. Poe was focused on her joyful appearance and replied with a "Hmm." Ava immediately smiled with squinting eyes, and her mind quickly began to race. They could go to the mall, buy lots of things; walk around town, eat snacks; even watch a movie, eat popcorn, drink milk tea. Ava thought this sounded great. However, she had things to do in the evening, so she couldn’t be so indulgent. Thinking about it, Ava frowned, then quickly looked at Poe Vaughn’s left hand.
