CHAPTER 491: CHAPTER 491: THE ONLY PURE WHITE JASMINE

The person who delivered the meal set up the dishes and even poured the soup.

Ava sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating, then gulped down more than half a bowl of soup with a slurp.

The food on the table was all Chinese, not Western.

Ava wasn’t interested in Western cuisine; she preferred Chinese food, especially abroad, where eating Chinese dishes felt most comforting.

The large bowl of soup was quickly finished by Ava, and she continued to pick up dishes to eat.

Meat and vegetables filled her mouth, not to forget the white rice.

You could say she was eating with great delight on her own.

Poe Vaughn listened to the report on his phone, looking at the person eating so joyously, his gaze resting on her lips and puffed cheeks, and he said, "That’s enough for now."

After speaking, he ended the call and calmly walked over.

Ava was in a cheerful mood while eating, shifting her eyes to the next dish even while still chewing.

When a bite was swallowed, another was immediately placed into her mouth, with no pause at all.

You could say it was seamless.

But just as she was immensely satisfied and reaching for the next dish, a figure sat down opposite her, took a wet wipe to clean his hands, moving with slow, deliberate elegance.

Ava stopped chewing immediately.

She looked at Poe Vaughn, blinked twice, and then quickly picked up some food for him.

She had forgotten about the big guy.

However, Ava knew he wouldn’t get upset.

Even if he was angry, it wouldn’t matter; he wouldn’t do anything to her.

Just like earlier, he was clearly mad at her but still carried her to the restroom and squeezed out toothpaste for her to brush her teeth.

This person is truly contradictory; angry yet still kind to her.

She both loved and hated him for this.

Poe Vaughn finished wiping his hands and finally picked up the chopsticks to eat.

And the food Ava put in his bowl, he ate it without any disdain.

Ava had already eaten a bit before Poe Vaughn arrived, so when he came and she saw him eating, she resumed chewing. Then, while chewing, she continued to serve him food.

Of course, she didn’t forget to feed herself too.

Just like that, the two of them finished dinner together as the sky outside grew darker, the red clouds beginning to fade, and night was about to descend.

After eating and drinking her fill, Ava stretched with immense satisfaction.

At this moment, her spirits were lifted immensely.

After eating, she had the urge to go out and take a stroll.

So, Ava wiped her lips and stood up, saying, "Poe Vaughn, are you busy?"

"You go ahead, I’m going out for a walk."

Finishing her words, without waiting for the person sitting at the dining table and wiping his lips to respond, Ava headed straight to the walk-in closet.

This suite was large, like a spacious apartment bought by the wealthy, complete with a living room, a bar, a wine cabinet, a separate bedroom, bathroom, and a walk-in closet.

There was even a swimming pool outside.

Ava had noticed it early on.

This trip abroad, she hadn’t brought anything, but she believed Poe Vaughn would have everything prepared.

His attention to detail was daunting.

So, without asking, she knew there would be clothes for her in the closet.

She walked into the closet, and sure enough, it was filled with men’s clothes and women’s clothes hanging neatly.

It felt just like home, so much choice.

Looking at the whole wardrobe of clothes, even jewelry in the middle, Ava clicked her tongue in admiration.

A big shot truly is a big shot, feeling at home everywhere.

It’s all the scent of money piled up.

Hmm, that scent is wonderful.

Ava didn’t waste time and quickly selected a silk V-neck shirt and a pair of very comfortable loose wide-legged trousers to wear.

The outfit was light and cool, very comfortable and thin.

Of course, most importantly, the fabric was good.

Wearing it felt like being wrapped in clouds, extremely comfortable, and filled with a sense of happiness.

Originally, Ava wanted to wear a dress, but ever since she wore dresses with Poe Vaughn, he would make his moves freely, which was all too convenient. Now, as long as she was with Poe Vaughn, she felt a bit resistant to wearing dresses.

It’s best not to wear them if she can help it, afraid he’d lose control and bother her regardless of the place.

So, pants were the safest option.

Having changed into clothes, Ava put her long hair up.

However, her hairpin was in her bag, not with her.

Yesterday, to chase after Poe Vaughn, she had randomly tied her long hair with an elastic band at the back of her head, leaving the hairpin in her bag.

Now she needed to retrieve the hairpin.

But thinking about going out later, the sea breeze might mess up her hair.

So, Ava’s gaze landed on the jewelry cabinet, checking if there were any hair ties or the like.

And indeed, there was.

But it wasn’t a simple hair tie; it was a scrunchie, made of pure white silk, flower-like and extremely beautiful.

Ava’s eyes lit up instantly, and she promptly took it out to use.

Quickly, she loosely put her long hair up at the back of her head, fastening it with the scrunchie.

She turned to look in the mirror, feeling very satisfied.

The shirt was white, the pants beige, and the scrunchie was also white, together making a very beautiful match.

A lyric popped into Ava’s head: "The only pure white jasmine..."

She felt like she was that pure white jasmine.

She couldn’t help but smile, her mood exceedingly pleasant.

Wearing beautiful clothes and looking elegantly dressed, one’s mood can become incredibly beautiful.

However, Ava soon noticed a problem.

Why was everything white or in light tones?

Did Poe Vaughn like white?

Looking at the color of her clothes and pants, and then at other clothes and dresses in the closet, they were all light colors, predominantly white.

Ava blinked, was it possible?

He usually liked dark colors, going around in black all the time, so why was it light colors and white for her?

Ava felt very surprised by this finding, completely unexpected.

However, she didn’t dwell on it.

She would ask later in the evening.

Now, she wanted to go out for a stroll, see where this place was, what the scenery was like, and relax. Meanwhile, she would call Lauren Howell to give a brief update on her situation, as she might not be back for a few days.

Thinking of this, Ava looked at herself in the mirror again, making sure everything was in order, and promptly left.

Poe Vaughn sat in the dining chair, paused in wiping his lips due to Ava’s straightforward words.

When her footsteps had moved away and into the walk-in closet, making only small sounds inside, he continued wiping his lips. Then, he called someone to come and clear the dining table.

After handling that, he looked at the sky outside.

The sky had already darkened, the sunset drawing to a close, and the beautiful canvas was being gathered in.

The sea became calm, and everything turned peaceful before nightfall.

Poe Vaughn withdrew his gaze and stood up, heading to the study room.

Ava came out to find the living room empty, the person who had been sitting in the dining chair gone.

Ava blinked, did he leave?

Why hadn’t she heard the door open?

Ava thought for a moment, then started looking around, "Poe Vaughn?"

Searching, Ava finally reached the study room.

The study door was wide open, and the person sitting in the office chair came into view.

Ava immediately beamed with a brilliant smile, quickly walked in, approached Poe Vaughn at his desk, and bent down to give his face a loud kiss.
