Who else could it be but Poe Vaughn. Nanny You nodded, "Yes, sir’s luggage was just taken away not long ago." She was the one who packed it. Originally, Nanny You wasn’t worried, after all, couples fight at the head of the bed but make up at the end, but the sir’s luggage was picked up not long ago and then the madam also returned and took her luggage. She couldn’t help but suspect that the two were in a cold war after a fight and were going to separate. Now hearing Ava Sterling’s words, she was relieved. Ava stopped asking questions, picked up her luggage, and got into the car. Why should she care about him? All she cared about was herself. Anyway, he was so fed up with her. "Nanny You, I’m leaving, bye!" Ava started the car, waved to Nanny You, and stepped on the gas pedal, the car sped off quickly. Nanny You stood there, watching the car drive away, a smile appeared on her face. The madam was still the same, energetic and unchanged. If not, she would have to call the old lady. Ava’s car quickly arrived at the airport, where Jace Kingsley was already waiting for her. However, standing beside him was someone Ava never expected: Lauren Howell! Lauren was standing next to Jace with a lovesick smile, her eyes filled with gossip, who knows how much she’d told Jace about Ava. Ava’s face turned dark as she dragged her suitcase over. Jace sensed something, looked over, and saw Ava. Noticing her off expression, he followed her gaze to Lauren, his eyes shifted slightly, and he walked over with a smile. He took the suitcase from Ava’s hand, and Lauren came jogging over, her face blossoming into a smile. Ava narrowed her eyes, her voice as cold as could be, "What are you doing here?" She hadn’t told Lauren about this because she didn’t want Lauren tagging along and chattering in her ear nonstop. Jace sensed Ava’s dissatisfaction with Lauren being here, but despite that, he said, "I invited Miss Halloway to join us." "She’s your close acquaintance, I was worried that you might not feel comfortable over there, so I asked her to come along." Lauren immediately nodded, "That’s right!" "Ava, don’t worry, I won’t mess things up!" While saying this, Lauren’s expression was downright earnest. Ava looked at her demeanor, feeling too lazy to deal with her. But since Jace invited her, Ava couldn’t say anything. "Don’t talk nonsense, just do as I say, if you dare not listen, I’ll fire you anytime!" Ava pointed at Lauren in a threatening manner. Even though the threat lacked force, Lauren continued to nod like a pecking chicken, "Mm-hmm, I’ll do as you say!" Jace looked at the two of them, his face brimming with a smile. The flight was at five ten, and by four thirty the three of them were on the plane, all in first class. They found their seats. Ava and Jace sat in the front, and Lauren sat behind by the window. Lauren never expected Jace to personally call her, asking her to accompany Ava to the Maldives for work. She believed, with Young Master Kingsley’s speed, it was only a matter of time before he won Ava over! So, once on the plane, Lauren put on her headphones, shut off her phone, and covered her eyes with a mask. She absolutely wouldn’t play the third wheel, she had to make sure Ava had a good ending! Ava sat down, and Jace requested two blankets from the attendant, then covered Ava. Ava said, "It’s okay, I got it." She snagged the blanket from his hand and covered herself up. It’s not about feeling shy, it’s just her nature — she can’t enjoy being served by others. Especially over such minor things. Jace watched her directness and candor, smiling. "Want something to drink?" Ava said straightforwardly, "Juice, warm." Jace instructed the attendant to bring some juice, warmed, and also ordered some food. It was around dinner time. Ava ate a lot at lunch and wasn’t hungry yet. But maybe Jace was; he didn’t eat much at lunch, for the most part, she was doing the eating. Ava noticed that it seemed like he always ate very little. Was it that his appetite was inherently small, or was it that they always ate what she liked, not what he liked? Thinking about this, Ava asked, "Do you never get enough to eat when dining with me?" Jace paused as he reached for the tray after hearing her question. Ava said, "You always eat so little, I eat more than you, are you always just accommodating me?" Before Jace could answer, Ava said, "You can’t keep doing this, if you do, I won’t have meals with you next time." Jace laughed immediately, it turns out this is what she was talking about. "No, I have a small appetite." Jace thought for a moment, then said, "My stomach isn’t very good, so I eat less." Ava immediately fell silent. "Your stomach isn’t well and you’re still eating spicy stuff with me, are you trying to sabotage yourself?" Ava was a bit angry, because him accommodating her while harming his own health was something she really disliked. Especially, when she heard this from him, her heart quivered slightly. It felt like nobody had ever cared about her so much, always putting her first. This feeling was very different for her. Filled with confusion, discomfort, rejection, and agitation. Jace noticed the change in Ava’s expression, so different from her usual self. His lips moved, and he said softly, "I’m sorry." He wasn’t smiling anymore, his face was like snow without the sun, no longer melting, no longer warm. Ava’s heart felt weird, that strange feeling vanished instantly. She was someone who could be swayed by tenderness. Jace being left her speechless. In the back seat. Get full chapters from ɴovelfire.net Holding her headphones, Lauren listened to the silence up front, unconsciously leaning forward to listen closely. Her face was full of smiles. As expected, Young Master Kingsley is the best. "Sir, your juice and dinner are here." The attendant delivered the items, and Jace turned his eyes and placed them before Ava. Seeing the items, Ava’s annoyance evaporated completely. He was just too good, so good that she couldn’t even stay mad at him. Alright, alright, let it go, she won’t hold it against him. Ava reached to grab it, but Jace said, "It’s okay." He was holding on, but Ava was quick, thus Ava held his hand. At this moment, outside the cabin, an imposing figure in a suit, exuding a noble and indifferent aura, walked in.
