Looking around, Ava searched for Mrs. Wei’s figure. Not seeing Mrs. Wei and hearing no sound at all, it was completely silent. Clearly, Mrs. Wei wasn’t home. Ava was puzzled. Did Mrs. Wei leave for something? Probably, Mrs. Wei had her own matters to tend to and couldn’t always be at home. Thinking this, Ava went to the dining table and sat down, ready to have dinner. Such a sumptuous dinner, she planned to eat a lot, finishing it all. She was truly starving! Ava looked at the table full of dishes, very satisfied, and picked up her chopsticks to grab some food. But just at that moment, there was a click. A clear sound came from behind her. Ava’s eyes lit up, she immediately turned around with a full smile, about to speak. However, when she saw the bedroom door open and a person wearing a bathrobe come out, Ava froze. "You... you’re back?" Indeed, Poe Vaughn had returned. Seemingly just out of the bathroom, he casually wore only a bathrobe, loosely tied at the waist, revealing a good portion of his chest and firm muscles. His whole body was steaming, and his hair was still dripping water. Ava was very surprised to see Poe Vaughn , having not expected it at all. Especially since there was only surprise in her eyes, not joy. Seeing Poe Vaughn, she showed no sign of happiness at all. Because, how could he have come back so soon? She was expecting him to return in a few days! With him back so soon, how would her days go from now on? As Ava thought of the previously overwhelming days, she instantly felt a deep sense of bitterness, not happy at all. Facing this table full of food, she no longer had an appetite. Poe Vaughn walked out, grabbed a cup to pour water, his eyes landed on the face he hadn’t seen in days, rosy and healthy, not at all like someone who had been sick or medicated. In fact, she looked great. He walked towards the bar counter, but stopped when hearing the obviously displeased remark. He looked at her, his face shifting from surprise to displeasure in just a few seconds. This displeasure clearly revealed her true feelings; he had come back too early, he should have returned later. She didn’t want him to come back. At that moment, the aura around Poe Vaughn instantly turned cold. He opened his mouth: "Come here." Ava was very aware that now that Poe Vaughn had returned, her own days wouldn’t be so easy anymore. Her hard-won silky smooth routine might soon be disrupted, her hardly recovered body might quickly deteriorate. So, under these circumstances, how could she possibly be happy about Poe Vaughn’s return? There was no way she could be happy. So, after clearly expressing her unhappiness, Ava turned her head away, planning to eat first, to get the meal over with before anything else. But just as she turned around, a cold voice with icy chill reached her ears, making Ava’s heart tighten instantly. At this moment, alarm bells rang in her mind, almost instantly, she realized this person’s identity, and her own. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the Nov3lFɪre.ɴet Could she say this? Could she express her dislike so directly? She had truly been careless again! Thinking that, Ava hurriedly put down her chopsticks and got up immediately, without any hesitation, she rushed towards Poe Vaughn. Poe Vaughn stood there, watching the person seated at the dining chair. The moment he spoke, her body stiffened. But almost instantly, she reacted swiftly, running towards him, and immediately threw herself into his arms. "I’m sorry, darling..." "I didn’t mean it, I’ve just been too tired these past few days, too tired to even talk." "Don’t be mad, darling, I’m really happy you came back so soon, truly, really happy!" Ava embraced Poe Vaughn’s lean waist, buried her face in his chest and spoke quickly, and as she spoke, she stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the lips. And the sound of that kiss was very loud, echoing clearly in the living room. Fortunately, Mrs. Wei wasn’t around, otherwise she wouldn’t know where to hide. The soft touch on his lips, and the subtle fragrance emanating from her body mixed with the scent of her hair strands, made Poe Vaughn’s body tense. After kissing, Ava hurriedly tugged Poe Vaughn toward the dining table, saying as she pulled, "Darling, are you hungry? Let’s have dinner." "Mrs. Wei has prepared everything, and it’s still warm." "Food should be eaten while it’s hot, otherwise it won’t taste good when it cools." "Not only does it not taste good, but it’s also bad for your health." Ava dutifully displayed what a wife should do and say, slipping into character in an instant, without missing a beat. However, she couldn’t move him at all. She couldn’t move him. Ava was stunned, looking up at Poe Vaughn. Poe Vaughn stood there, looking at her, unmoving, with a face that was even more indifferent, and his eyes, deep and intimidating. Ava swallowed uncontrollably. He was angry because she wasn’t happy to see him back. Ava knew her own temperament, and with how she had just behaved, he must have seen right through her thoughts at a glance. Now... it wouldn’t be easy for her to placate him. Ava’s head started to ache immediately. See, see, men are like stumbling blocks on a woman’s road to success, greatly affecting her speed of progress. She couldn’t even unleash her potential. Yet, this was someone she couldn’t afford to provoke. As Ava’s head throbbed, her mind was flooded with thoughts and strategies on how to placate him. But before she could come up with a solution, the hand she was holding suddenly moved, and then her wrist was gripped by a powerful hand. Returning to her senses, Ava saw the large hand gripping hers, but just as she was about to look, that large hand instantly pulled. Almost without any reaction, she was dragged into his arms. Simultaneously, an arm wound around her waist, and with a movement, she was lifted off the ground and embraced in his arms. Poe Vaughn carried Ava directly towards the bedroom, clearly signaling his intention without words. Ava, now in Poe Vaughn’s arms, especially given that he was only wearing a bathrobe, felt her body tightly pressed against his chest, and she could clearly sense the changes in his body. Tense, hard, burning. This familiar physical change made Ava inwardly complain bitterly. Some men were quite vigorous in certain aspects, needing to engage in certain activities daily, and unable to restrain themselves after a few days. But she had never thought Poe Vaughn would be one such man. Truly, she had never expected it. And now, she clearly knew he was that kind, and stopping him now was probably impossible. Ava instantly tightened her grip on Poe Vaughn’s hand, and as Poe Vaughn carried her into the bedroom, shutting the door, Ava hurriedly grabbed onto his arm like a steel bar.
