CHAPTER 498: CHAPTER 498: CAN I MARRY SISTER?

The thick long hair was no longer pinned up with hairpins but was tied into a ponytail at the back of the head. However, it seemed not very tight, somewhat loose, with quite a few strands falling down. The sea breeze kept blowing, the waves rolling, and her stray hairs fluttered freely in the wind.

Poe Vaughn watched the scene and halted his steps.

The night sky past eight was already completely dark, but the stars followed, and the crescent moon hung high. The world had the light of a serene moon, the light of the stars, and more importantly, the light from countless homes at this moment.

The night scenery at this moment was incredibly beautiful.

Poe Vaughn gazed at the person sitting on the beach, the wind puffing up her shirt, yet she didn’t seem cold, with her sleeves rolled up revealing her slender forearms. Her body was bent over, seeming to be playing with something, occasionally glancing at the person next to her, her profile showing confusion, surprise, and unexpectedness, with a very rich expression.

Poe Vaughn looked at her, everything around excluded. In his sight, apart from her, no one else existed.

However, suddenly, his eyes shifted slightly toward the person sitting next to Ava Sterling.

Or rather, the person standing up from beside Ava Sterling.

A small child, with short arms and legs, height small, sporting a head of curly hair.

The beach wasn’t flat, so the little kid walked very unstably, staggeringly, even directly plopping on the sand, falling to one side, looking quite funny and adorable to anyone watching.

Yet, Ava Sterling saw the little child’s manner, not rushing to worry, instead bursting into hearty laughter.

And the small child didn’t cry upon falling, hearing her laughter followed along with giggles.

He quickly propped himself up with the sand, sticking out his little bottom to stand, then walked to face Ava, squatted down to continue building a house, making no noise at all.

Poe Vaughn watched the little child, his soft and chubby face under the moonlight, then his gaze shifted to Ava Sterling. As the little child squatted down to build a house, Ava also joined in, using her hands to build. The two faced each other, one big and one small, in this rich glowing scene, filled with warmth and coziness.

Just like a mother and son, watching them softened one’s heart.

Poe Vaughn watched this scene for a long time before stepping forward.

"Done!"

Sylvie Ainsworth, the small friend, immediately stood up, feeling relieved.

While Ava Sterling looked at the castle built in collaboration with the little child in front, it wasn’t inferior to what the little one had just built, perhaps even better.

She was absolutely shocked, saying, "I’m amazing, to have learned it so quickly and built it so well!"

At this moment, Ava Sterling was quite proud of herself, having been able to improve so swiftly, feeling exceedingly accomplished.

Seeing Ava Sterling’s shocked look, filled with surprise, Sylvie Ainsworth, the little friend, also delightedly said, "Sister is amazing."

Ava Sterling immediately said proudly, "Of course!"

"A sister like me is very smart. But you taught well, very impressive."

"Tell me, what do you want, whatever I can fulfill, I will."

"Consider this my gratitude to you."

At this moment, Ava Sterling sat cross-legged there, arms crossed, raising her chin to look at the little child with an overwhelming aura.

Sylvie Ainsworth, the little friend, was quite surprised to hear Ava Sterling’s words.

Because he didn’t expect he could ask for something else, it was such a surprise.

The little guy looked at Ava Sterling, realizing she truly wasn’t joking, blinked his big eyes, then asked, "Anything I want?"

"Of course, but the premise is I can do it."

"Under the premise that I can do it, you ask for one, I’ll fulfill it for you."

Ava Sterling raised her index finger, indicating she would offer only one condition, not to back out.

Sylvie Ainsworth, the little friend, his eyes instantly brightened, very bright, and he immediately said, "Can I marry Sister?"

"Ah???"

Ava Sterling’s mouth hung open instantly, looking at the bright-eyed little one in front of her, her eyes widened in shock.

Marry her?

The little child said marry her?

Who taught him the word "marry"? And nowadays, are little children so precocious?

At this instant, Ava Sterling looked at the small and round milk baby in front of her, completely unable to speak.

She knew she was charming, aware that many liked her, wanted to marry her. But, was her charm reaching even such young kids?

She felt she wasn’t the type little kids would like.

At this moment, Ava Sterling found it incredibly unbelievable.

To be precise, difficult to accept.

Such a small kid, she truly couldn’t handle that.

But Sylvie Ainsworth, the little friend, seeing Ava Sterling not answering, walked over wanting to hold Ava Sterling, and kiss her on the face just like before.

But at this moment, a deep and indifferent voice dropped into the ears.

"No, you cannot."

Ava Sterling was still dazed, this magnetic voice came from behind, letting her instantly regain her senses.

Instinctively, she hurriedly turned to look, and saw a pair of long, straight legs walking toward her, then followed by her sight darkened.

Just like dense clouds covering, the sky instantly darkened.

Ava Sterling subconsciously blinked, her heartbeat became unstable for a moment, somewhat anxious.

Did this person hear what the kid said? He wouldn’t be angry, right? After all, it’s just a little baby, saying things like speaking nonsense, instantly forgotten.

He shouldn’t mind, right?

Thinking this, Ava Sterling’s mind somewhat felt at ease.

But as soon as she relaxed, her heart picked up again.

Because, as Poe Vaughn walked over, that little child wanting to hold her was instantly picked up, hanging in the air. And where Poe Vaughn picked him up was the place where the straps of his little dungarees crossed at the back, lifting him, he appeared just like a small turtle sprawled in midair.

Ava Sterling saw this and her heart skipped.

No way?

Did this person actually get angry? Angry to the point of wanting to throw the child to the ground?

Ava Sterling was immediately frightened, watching the scene and forgot to react.

However, suddenly suspended in air, the little baby picked up by Poe Vaughn wasn’t scared at all. Not only was he not scared, but he also became completely curious, looking around and then at his body under him.

When he discovered himself suddenly hanging in the air, seemingly flying, he was astonished. Then, not knowing what he thought, instinctively his two short hands and legs began to paddle in the air, just like a little turtle swimming in the water.

This look, truly silly and quite adorable.

Ava Sterling was originally very nervous, but upon seeing this child not afraid and swimming in air, she instantly turned expressionless.

This kid, how big is his heart, even when picked up by someone wasn’t scared at all.

By now, Ava Sterling was no longer nervous, the absurd thought that Poe Vaughn might throw the kid down also disappeared.

She looked at the straight long legs before her, then at the child, and somehow, this scene appeared very pleasing. Watching this, it seemed she could imagine Poe Vaughn with kids in the future, would it be just like this, completely not treating kids as kids.

Thinking of this, Ava Sterling’s mouth curled up, gazing at the person holding the little baby.
