Ava Sterling, flustered and out of sorts, instinctively grabbed onto Poe Vaughn. Poe Vaughn looked at the person who had fallen into his arms and extended his arm to wrap around Ava Sterling’s waist. Just like that, Ava Sterling held Poe Vaughn firmly, and Poe Vaughn also encircled her in his embrace. At this moment, the air grew quiet. Ava Sterling’s heart pounded, her mind went blank. How did she suddenly collide with him? Ava Sterling was stunned, completely unable to react. The main thing was that this feeling was too good; and there was a faint scent on him, so damn alluring, making her already foggy mind even foggier. Poe Vaughn’s chest was bumped; that soft body fell into his embrace, and her hair followed, wrapping around his arm, smooth like silk, delicately entwining... "Thump, thump, thump..." Ava Sterling seemed to hear drumming, powerful and rhythmic, echoing in her ears. At first, she thought it was her own heartbeat, but she realized it wasn’t. It was his heartbeat, steady and strong, making her heartbeat even faster. Ava Sterling, have you really become so weak? Someone else’s heartbeat is enough to make you lose your train of thought, you’re embarrassing yourself all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Quickly disengaging from Poe Vaughn’s embrace, before he could say any cold-hearted words, she stepped back two steps, then looked at the deep-eyed man with a beaming smile: "Hehe, sorry, I slipped." "Dinner is ready, let’s go eat." After saying that, another thought came to her, and her eyes blinked, making her already clear eyes even brighter: "What time is your flight?" Just to confirm that if he really was going on a business trip, she would be quite happy. Because then she wouldn’t have to serve the VIP client! Poe Vaughn looked at the clearly scheming person, retracted his arm and put it in his pocket: "Eight-twenty." A flash of light instantly crossed Ava Sterling’s eyes, and in the next moment, her eyes squinted into crescents with laughter: "Then it’s not too early, you should quickly tidy up, have dinner downstairs and head to the airport, don’t delay." While saying these words, Ava Sterling felt like she had become the perfect wife. Oh my, the power of money truly is limitless. Poe Vaughn looked at the brilliantly smiling face, like a blossoming flower, and opened his lips: "In a few days, we’ll go see Grandma, prepare for the next couple of days." The smile on Ava Sterling’s face vanished instantly. Meet his grandmother? Does that mean as soon as he returns from his business trip? Ava Sterling instinctively wanted to ask, but before she could open her mouth, Poe Vaughn turned around and headed back to the dressing room. Ava Sterling’s mouth opened and closed, watching him go just like that, wanting to curse. He didn’t even finish speaking, and he just left! Her lips moved again, her fists clenched tightly, but she eventually held back. Ava Sterling quickly followed with a few steps: "What do I need to prepare? It’s my first time getting married, I don’t know what the situation is, we’re eloping, and it’s not real." "I have no idea what needs to be prepared, you need to tell me what I need to prepare, and I’ll get ready in the next couple of days." Poe Vaughn was standing in front of the dressing mirror fixing his sleeves, Ava Sterling stood beside him, her face showing barely contained anger as she looked at him. He didn’t answer but instead finished tidying his sleeve and wristwatch, then turned his gaze to look at the now impatient Ava Sterling: "Mrs. Vaughn, it’s my first time getting married too." Ava Sterling’s face darkened, so what he meant was, she had to figure it out herself? Ava Sterling’s expression was clearly unpleasant, and there was nothing she could do about it; she had waited so long just for this kind of answer? After Poe Vaughn finished speaking, he picked up the suit jacket draped over his arm and walked out. Ava Sterling clenched her fists, telling herself to endure. All for the sake of money, she must endure. The word "endure" hung like a sword above her head, ready to fall at any moment! Pulling a smile, Ava Sterling immediately followed and matched Poe Vaughn’s pace, grinning: "At least you should tell me what your grandma likes, right?" "It’s impossible you don’t know what grandma likes, right?" Meeting the family means bringing gifts; when visiting the host’s home, you have to bring gifts, so gift-giving is not a problem. And she didn’t believe he wouldn’t give her a satisfactory answer to this question. Poe Vaughn listened to the person beside him, her words both proud and challenging, and walked steadily: "Grandma doesn’t have any particular preferences." After dinner, Poe Vaughn left and Ava Sterling stood on the steps, holding a black card, watching the car disappear from sight. Although she didn’t get any answers, he gave her a black card with unlimited usage, essentially meaning she had full control over the arrangements. He wouldn’t interfere. Ava Sterling, in this regard, felt as long as the money was right, nothing would be a problem. So she was quite satisfied now. "Ma’am, what fruit would you like after dinner, I’ll prepare it for you." The sound of Mrs. Wei came from behind, and Ava Sterling’s eyes twinkled as she quickly went inside: "Mrs. Wei, do you know what Grandma likes?" Poe Vaughn might put her in a tough spot, but Mrs. Wei wouldn’t! Haha, how could she be so clever? The Vaughn Residence. After ending a phone call with Poe Vaughn, Sharon Sheridan couldn’t stop smiling, prompting Mrs. Yao next to her to ask several times, yet Sharon Sheridan didn’t reply; it made her a little anxious. "Madam, please stop smiling, just tell me what’s the good news." "My heart is like a cat being scratched by your smile, it’s quite uncomfortable." Previously, hearing directly from Poe Vaughn that he had a girlfriend made Sharon Sheridan very happy, even excited. Excited enough to want to see Ava Sterling. Especially after learning that Ava Sterling returned from Delphos City, she immediately wanted to go meet her. But they received a piece of news. The news was the scene between Jace Kingsley and Ava Sterling outside the side door of The Crescent Hotel. This news, accompanied by true photos, made the old lady calm down and realize one issue. What girlfriend, it was really just one-sided enthusiasm! That young lady, her heart wasn’t with their little Poe. However, the old lady wasn’t in a hurry because she believed, with this revelation, their little Poe must be giving her an answer. So she waited unhurriedly. And within just a few short days, he asked her for the family register. And today, the certificate was obtained. And just now, she heard that young lady call their little Poe "husband" with her own ears; wouldn’t you say she was overjoyed? After smiling for a long time, Sharon Sheridan finally suppressed the joy in her heart: "In a few days, Little Poe will bring his wife home, we should prepare well at home." This child is really fast. She hadn’t had time to properly prepare yet. Early this morning, when she sent someone to retrieve the family register, she knew the matter was mostly settled, and immediately set things up at home. But there wasn’t enough time! Fortunately, this child gave her a few days, so she doesn’t have to be in such a rush now. "In a few days? That’s really great!" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveI-Fire.ɴet "These two days should be enough to get the house ready, but should we notify the other people in advance?" Mrs. Yao considered this question. This sudden marriage, they hadn’t expected it, and until now, besides them, no one else knew. The smile on Sharon Sheridan’s face disappeared, she pondered carefully, and said: "Let’s wait until Little Poe brings the wife home to talk about it." "The main thing is to see what Little Poe plans." Mrs. Yao nodded, but thought of another matter: "With the certificate obtained, shouldn’t there be a wedding?" Furrowing her eyebrows, Sharon Sheridan replied: "I do want to have one, but they may not." Sharon Sheridan immediately laughed, full of profound meaning: "Do you think he got the certificate so quickly for no reason? Because the young lady doesn’t like him yet." If it was done rashly, the girl would surely run away.
