"Poe Vaughn, we aren’t going to the Qingshan Villa, are we?" When he said we’re going home to eat, does he mean going back to her apartment at The Kestrel Apartments or to his Qingshan Villa? Or, back to the old home? If that’s the case, how much time is she going to lose? Ava was on the verge of tears. Even though he’s the big boss, he can’t just do whatever he wants, can he? She’s a human being, not his toy he can just mess around with as he pleases. Ava felt she needed to defend her dignity, so she said seriously, "Poe Vaughn, let me tell you, although we..." "Going back to The Kestrel Apartments." Before she could finish, his deep magnetic voice interrupted her. Going back to The Kestrel Apartments? Not heading to Qingshan Villa? Did she get it wrong? What’s so important that we have to go to The Kestrel Apartments to eat? Can’t we just have it delivered? Ava had more questions, many questions. Her lips parted to ask, but before she could speak, Poe Vaughn’s voice came again, "The teacher will come home to tutor." She didn’t know if she was shocked or what, but upon hearing Poe Vaughn’s words, Ava was momentarily speechless. Poe Vaughn listened to the moment of silence over the phone, then he said, "Come down." After saying this, he hung up. The busy tone came directly from the phone, and Ava’s face turned dark. Has he arranged everything? Having her go home to eat, then the teacher comes over to teach her, no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like a problem, but wouldn’t he find it troublesome? He specifically came to pick her up and then go back, isn’t this just wasting time? Ava thought he must have something up his sleeve; otherwise, why do something so pointless? The main thing is, it doesn’t seem like something Poe Vaughn would do. Now that things were clear, Ava didn’t dare to delay, she immediately picked up her bag and books, left, and quickly went downstairs. No more wasting time; she’s already wasted countless hours thinking about this person today. It’s more precious than gold. Ava got into the elevator, out of the elevator, and out of the company, all in less than a minute. She came to the car outside. The swift driver didn’t have time to get out and open the door for her. Ava got into the car like a gust of wind, slammed the car door shut, and then said to the driver, "Old Zhang, hurry up, to The Kestrel Apartments." The driver saw Ava get into the car, closed the door he had just opened, and started the vehicle. Upon hearing Ava’s words, the driver looked in the rearview mirror at the person sitting beside Ava. Poe Vaughn was watching Ava, his eyes deep and unreadable, but there was one thing the driver could discern. Their mister is now undoubtedly very concerned about the missus. The driver withdrew his gaze and immediately stepped on the accelerator, quickly driving the car into traffic. Ava didn’t forget about Poe Vaughn; after speaking, she looked at the person next to her and directly said, "Why are we going home to eat today?" "Why not just have Aunt Wei send it over?" "Do you have something going on?" Otherwise, what could cause him to suddenly have such a whim? The person next to her looked over with clear eyes, and those direct words landed in Poe Vaughn’s ears, clearly expressing her curiosity. Poe Vaughn turned his gaze and looked forward, "Going home for something fresh." Ava was rendered speechless. What he meant was that he didn’t want to eat food stored in a thermal container because it didn’t taste as good as freshly made. But he’s eaten it before; he didn’t mind at all. What a temperamental person. Ava couldn’t say it aloud, but in her heart, she was seriously criticizing. However, suddenly a flash of light crossed her mind, and Ava’s criticism stopped abruptly. She remembered something Lauren told her about the Rhodes Family. So, is this person’s odd behavior now because of that? Ava immediately had an epiphany. This person has nothing outwardly unusual, seemingly unaffected by anything, but he’s not a deity; how could he be entirely unaffected. He is affected, just not in the way ordinary people might express it. He’s very restrained, and his manner of showing it is vastly different from ordinary people. unusual behavior now, it can fully explain his internal struggles. This update is available on NoveI★Fire.net Thinking this, Ava’s face suddenly showed sympathy, and she immediately wrapped her arms around Poe Vaughn’s arm, leaned her whole body onto him, and said with special sympathy, "Whatever hubby says goes, I’ll listen to you." She almost couldn’t resist saying not to bother with those scoundrels, but fortunately, she hadn’t been drinking, so she was sober and didn’t say something so irrational. The person who was angry and displeased a moment ago seemed to transform into someone else the next moment, voluntarily leaning on him and speaking such hypocritical words. Poe Vaughn looked down at the person holding him. His brow furrowed, face full of pain and sorrow, like he had suffered countless wounds, which she saw and felt incredibly sorry for. Poe Vaughn’s eyebrows slightly knitted, rare indeed. He looked at the person in his arms, this suddenly unusual person, her facial expression and thoughts in her eyes. Sympathy, pain, anger, dissatisfaction—all seven parts true and three parts false. By previous standards, such expressions should not have any truth, all should be false. Yet now, there is seven-part truth. Poe Vaughn’s deepened gaze. Ava saw Poe Vaughn staring at her without a word, his expression clearly not understanding what she was doing, why she was acting this way. Ava immediately sighed inwardly. It’s said that when God opens a door for someone, He must close a window. In front of her, he sure was. This person has intelligence, but his emotional intelligence is concerning. He has no idea she’s feeling heartache for him because of the Rhodes Family issue. He likely wouldn’t guess it, as they’re only a fake couple. Still, although he wouldn’t guess, she still had to do what she should. Properly comfort him. "Hubby, the world is beautiful; you must not get upset." The atmosphere in the car fell silent for a moment; Poe Vaughn initially wanted to understand what the person in his arms was thinking, but now he didn’t want to know. His eyes turned forward, on this sunny bright day, the sun was dazzlingly bright, the weather also very fine. Everything as usual, everything unchanged. The world is beautiful, which he fully knows. Ava realized Poe Vaughn was entirely ignoring her, realizing she had spoken too far. As if insinuating he was about to jump off a building. Ava mentally spat several times, hurriedly trying to retract her previous statement. Her brain operated quickly, rapidly seeking a solution. And swiftly, she came up with a resolution. Took out her bag, rummaged through it, and quickly produced a lollipop, thoughtfully peeled off the wrapper, and held it up to Poe Vaughn’s mouth, "Hubby, have some candy."
