CHAPTER 460: CHAPTER 460: SLAMMING THE DOOR AND LEAVING

Sister Wei is extremely anxious, incredibly distressed.

Especially upon seeing Poe Vaughn’s back as he turned to leave, it really felt like her heart was breaking.

Wanting to care for someone important, only to have them think you intend to hit them, that feeling is no less than a heavy blow to the heart, utterly powerless.

Ava Sterling was left dumbfounded by what Poe Vaughn said, standing there blankly with her mind in a haze.

It’s as if you think the sky is about to collapse, an imminent catastrophe, only to find that at the very moment of disaster, the sky clears up and it’s perfectly sunny.

The sky remains the same sky, the ground remains the same ground, nothing has changed.

Everything before was just her own fantasy, an illusion.

That’s exactly how Ava Sterling feels right now, utterly perplexed, completely motionless.

But when Sister Wei’s words fall into her ears, each anxious phrase seems to be telling her something, her eyelashes flutter, and her heart starts to race.

Her lips open instinctively, looking at the open kitchen door.

Outside, Poe Vaughn is no longer there.

Not a shadow to be seen, almost as if Poe Vaughn had never appeared.

He... he wasn’t going to hit her? Was he... concerned for her?

Ava’s eyes gradually widened, feeling utterly incredulous.

How could he care for her? She’s perfectly fine, he doesn’t need to worry about her.

Poe Vaughn has always been a cold person. He wouldn’t do things that other men do. For example, say nice words; for example, do romantic things.

He wouldn’t.

He’s a straightforward man, a very straightforward man.

If he wants to give, he’ll give; if he wants, he’ll take, he rarely considers her feelings.

How could such a Poe Vaughn suddenly, inexplicably care for her? Especially after he heard her talking with Sister Wei about his mother?

Ava’s lips closed, pursed, shaking her head, brows knitted tightly, her expression suddenly serious.

No, it can’t be.

Poe Vaughn isn’t concerned about her, he’s wondering how to punish her or how to deal with their nominal marriage.

It must be this way.

He seems calm on the surface, showing no signs of strangeness, but in truth, he’s probably already figured out what to do next.

That’s more fitting to his nature.

A deeply inscrutable nature.

Thinking about this, Ava’s eyes narrow, showing determination.

She wants to have a good talk with Poe Vaughn, it doesn’t matter what happens to her, but she definitely can’t let Sister Wei get involved.

He is certainly going to blame Sister Wei.

They say, dogs that bark don’t bite, dogs that bite usually don’t bark.

Poe Vaughn belongs to the latter, you can’t be too careful.

With this thought, Ava turned, looking sternly at Sister Wei, speaking: "Sister Wei, stop talking. I know what to do."

"You... you stay here, I’m going out to find Poe Vaughn."

"You don’t come out yet."

After instructing her, not waiting for Sister Wei’s response, Ava went out.

Things can be discussed, especially with someone like Poe Vaughn, it’s unlikely he wouldn’t even give her a chance to talk.

Of course, he might really refuse.

But she has to try no matter what, if trying doesn’t work out, then so be it, the situation has reached this point, hiding is not an option.

Ava wouldn’t hide either, facing challenges head-on is her character.

At this moment, Ava felt like a hero walking toward martyrdom, head held high as she walked out.

However, she had just left the kitchen, not even reaching the living room, when she heard a "bang", a tremendously loud sound of a door slamming.

This sound made the entire apartment tremble, making everything inside it cower in fear.

Ava stood there, instantly frozen, as if suddenly cursed, unable to move.

But as this huge door-slamming sound reached her, her body visibly trembled, along with her very core.

Indeed, it felt like her very soul almost vanished...

Truly, this sound was way too damn loud!

Loud enough to terrify anyone!

Sister Wei was in the kitchen, Ava’s earlier words left her stunned and speechless.

Why doesn’t the lady believe what she says? Everything she says is true, how can the lady possibly trust that her husband cares for her?

Sister Wei was very anxious, yet so anxious that she didn’t know what to do.

Watching Ava head out, unable to utter a word to stop her.

But just as Sister Wei was anxiously wondering what to do, a massive door-slamming sound came from outside, as if someone had left.

Sister Wei’s heart tightened, her face changed, she couldn’t care about all that anymore, hurriedly rushing outside, to see Ava standing like a wooden statue outside, with no trace of Poe Vaughn in the living room.

Seeing this, Sister Wei was instantly heartbroken.

Mr. Vaughn left, certainly upset, unable to stay here any longer.

Mr. Vaughn’s heart is hurt.

At this moment, Sister Wei’s eyes turned red with sadness, she said, "Madam, Mr. Vaughn is hurt."

"Your words earlier hurt his heart deeply."

These words were filled with sorrow, immense sorrow.

She could say she watched Mr. Vaughn grow up, and he’s truly a good person, from childhood till now, he’s always been a remarkably good man.

Though Mr. Vaughn doesn’t talk much, he’s always thoughtful.

He would give her red envelopes and gifts during holidays and New Year’s, prepare things for her children and family, and if she made a mistake, he wouldn’t blame her.

Especially, if Mr. Vaughn overheard her on the phone discussing family difficulties, he would take the initiative to help solve them, such a good man, why doesn’t the lady believe him?

Sister Wei truly couldn’t understand.

She hoped the lady treats Mr. Vaughn well, hoping she sincerely loves and protects him, instead of fearing him.

In this current situation, what should they do?

Ava stood there, her soul initially adrift due to the earlier noise, but upon hearing Sister Wei’s words, her soul finally returned to her body.

Her eyelashes fluttered, then she looked at the tightly closed door, turned to Sister Wei, and said, "Sister Wei, is Poe Vaughn angry?"

Yes.

Only anger would make him slam the door and leave.

If he weren’t angry, why slam the door?

The most crucial thing is, why is he angry? He should immediately call Quentin Quinn, have Quentin Quinn draft their divorce agreement, arrange the divorce matters.

Instead of slamming the door and leaving.

Is this really Poe Vaughn?

Isn’t it...?

Ava had completely forgotten her fear, even forgotten about investigating Poe Vaughn’s mother, standing there, looking at the closed door, her mind full of questions about why Poe Vaughn slammed the door and left.

Sister Wei, seeing Ava completely unaware of the real issue, felt utterly powerless.

Oh, her ladyship, why can’t she think positively about Mr. Vaughn?

Always thinking of the negative side?

What’s the problem here?

Sister Wei stood there, not knowing what to say, and Ava didn’t know what to do.

She wanted to talk with Poe Vaughn, but with him gone, how could they talk?

Should she chase after him? But what if he refuses to see her, and directly hands her a divorce agreement via Quentin Quinn?

That would be too expected.

But she can’t disregard Sister Wei.

Leaving would be a clean break, but what about Sister Wei?

If because of her Sister Wei suffers, that wouldn’t be her way, so she still needs to find Poe Vaughn!

She must find him, talk to him!
