Poe Vaughn stood outside the kitchen, looking at the person inside, their eyes red, filled with moisture and glistening. Inside were traces where tears had passed, clearly visible before him. He stood there, gazing into those eyes, his expression deepened. Ava saw Poe Vaughn as if she had suddenly seen a large pot fall from the sky, instantly crashing on her head, making her dizzy and disoriented, unable to accept or react. When did he come back? How come she didn’t hear a sound? He was still standing outside the kitchen, did he overhear what she said to Mrs. Wei just now? How much did he hear? From where did he start hearing? She didn’t speak too loudly to Mrs. Wei, did she? For a moment, many questions arose in Ava’s mind. And with these questions, cold sweat gradually broke out on her body because Poe Vaughn might have heard what she just said to Mrs. Wei. She and Mrs. Wei were speaking very quietly before, he might not have heard, but towards the end, when Mrs. Wei said Poe Vaughn’s mother didn’t hate Ronia Ackerly and Hayden Rhodes, the voice wasn’t that soft. Especially, when Mrs. Wei said Poe Vaughn liked her and was very kind to her, the voice was like normal conversation, and she hadn’t noticed, her voice also returned to a natural volume. If someone was standing outside the kitchen, they definitely could have heard it. Poe Vaughn definitely heard it! What to do, what to do, she’s finished! This update is available on noveⅼfire.net Ava’s mind had already confirmed that some things were overheard by Poe Vaughn, she panicked, she feared, and in her eyes fixed on Poe Vaughn, fear instantly emerged as if the sky was about to fall, she had no idea what to do. Poe Vaughn watched those eyes washed by tears, experiencing rapid changes from shock to panic and then to fear, clearly conveying her current thoughts to him. She was afraid of him, very afraid. His pupils contracted, the aura around him changed, the already deep and intimidating atmosphere instantly intensified, making people fearful. Ava felt it, distinctly felt it. It was as if even the temperature around them dropped at that moment, her heart pounded wildly, and her eyes, which were looking at Poe Vaughn, immediately dodged, not daring to look at him again. And her mind was racing through many thoughts, seeking many ideas, she was striving for a solution, to see if she could salvage the situation. Truly... truly careless! Clearly knowing Poe Vaughn was coming back soon, yet she had to ask Mrs. Wei in such a short amount of time; if that’s not carelessness, then what is? Oh, not only careless, but also impulsive and impatient, didn’t think it through at all, she was truly insane! At that moment, Ava was fiercely berating herself, scolding herself for being incompetent, always acting without thinking things through, now regret was too late. Yet, now regret was useless, Poe Vaughn’s gaze at her, that obvious change in aura, as if ready to tear her apart, to devour her whole. Ava felt she might as well stop thinking about solutions, just wait to be judged. Because, there was no method to resolve it, she had touched something of Poe Vaughn’s that she shouldn’t have touched, like being struck by lightning. At this moment, Ava became deflated, like an eggplant beaten by frost, she stopped struggling. Poe Vaughn could do whatever he wanted, he could divorce her immediately, he could take back all the things he gave her, it didn’t matter, she was already prepared to be discarded by him. Ava always made decisions quickly and resolutely, never hesitating. In this brief moment, she had thought everything through and was ready, fearless. Thinking this, Ava raised her head. Isn’t it just ending the agreement ahead of time? It’s no big deal. She had survived such difficult days, so what’s the big deal now? She would still live her life, live her life well, unaffected. In an instant, Ava’s heart became incredibly firm, no longer filled with previous fear, nervousness, or terror, she could now calmly accept any outcome. However, when Ava raised her head, she was stunned.
