CHAPTER 500: CHAPTER 500: KISSED

Poe Vaughn followed Ava Sterling’s gaze to the little baby in her arms, and his eyes also shifted to the baby.

But it wasn’t long before he looked at Ava Sterling again, watching her play with the child.

As if she were playing with a toy, touching, pinching, and kneading.

Clearly she liked this toy.

He didn’t stop her, just let Ava Sterling play with the child like this.

But!

When Ava Sterling bent down to get close to the little baby, who then puckered its lips and moved closer to Ava Sterling’s lips, Poe Vaughn’s face instantly darkened.

With a movement of his hand, the little lips that were about to kiss Ava Sterling were suddenly far away, so far that the little one couldn’t possibly get close to Ava Sterling.

Ava Sterling was stunned.

Frozen by the little one’s almost action, and before she could react, the face that had been close suddenly moved far away.

You could say it disappeared in a blink.

Ava Sterling’s eyelashes fluttered instinctively, then she looked over and saw Poe Vaughn lifting the little one to the other side, even spreading his arms to make the little one hang in the air like a doll. His deep, cold eyes glared at the dizzy little baby, seeming as if he could make it disappear at any moment.

Poe Vaughn’s demeanor was supposed to be frightening, but for some reason, Ava Sterling wasn’t scared at all. Not only wasn’t she scared, but she burst out laughing, as if she had seen something extremely funny and couldn’t control herself.

In Poe Vaughn’s eyes, storm clouds were gathering, a terrifying whirlwind ready to explode.

Very scary.

However, when the joyful laughter reached his ears, the massive storm in his eyes suddenly froze.

The next moment, he turned his gaze to Ava Sterling.

But Ava Sterling wasn’t looking at him; she was watching the dizzy little one. The little one hadn’t recovered from the dizziness, even patting its face with its chubby hands, trying not to be so dizzy.

This sight was so adorable, like her little turtle patting its face with its paws, making Ava Sterling feel even happier.

She walked over and directly took the child from Poe Vaughn’s hands, not caring at all about his gloomy expression.

Holding the little one, she said, "Stop patting, you’ll make yourself silly if you keep patting."

After saying this, she looked at Poe Vaughn, hoping he wouldn’t hold a grudge against a child.

After all, it was just a baby. He’s an adult, should an adult really hold a grudge against a child?

No need.

But when Ava Sterling saw Poe Vaughn’s face, her smile stiffened.

Because, at this moment, Poe Vaughn was looking at her with a terrifying gaze, as if she would disappear in his sight in the next moment.

Disappear from this world completely.

Ava Sterling couldn’t smile anymore; she couldn’t say a word or make a sound.

This person, going to destroy everything?

At this moment, Ava Sterling no longer found it fun or funny, only felt fear.

Trembling.

The marriage agreement stated clearly that she couldn’t have intimate contact with other men, which naturally refers to not cheating within the marriage. She must keep distance from other men and not cause misunderstandings.

She understood, she absolutely understood.

But surely the agreement doesn’t include such a small child, right?

This child seems just two or three, three or four years old. This hardly counts as intimacy, right?

But...

At this moment, looking at this person’s expression, it seemed everything around was getting darker and the light was disappearing.

The world she was in was turning from light to dark, extremely terrifying.

Ava Sterling’s lips parted, wanting to speak, to say something to appease this person who was about to annihilate everything. Yet, whether it was due to the terrifying aura surrounding this person at this moment or his murderous gaze, her mind went blank, completely unsure what to say.

At this moment, Ava Sterling was flustered and instinctively wanted to run away.

Immediately flee from Poe Vaughn’s terrifying range.

But just then...

"Smack!"

A loud sound, and a passionate kiss landed on Ava Sterling’s cheek.

In an instant, Ava Sterling froze.

The surrounding aura froze along with her, without any sound or movement.

Ava Sterling stood there as if someone had pressed her acupressure point, showing no expression or change at all.

She was bewildered.

Completely devoid of thoughts.

Meanwhile, Poe Vaughn’s aura quieted down. He looked at the little baby who had touched Ava Sterling under his watchful eye, and his eyes contracted in an instant, with an aura akin to hell that made one’s heart tremble.

Yet, little Sylvie Ainsworth didn’t feel any of it. Dazed after being carried by Ava Sterling, with the pretty sister so close.

In a moment like this, wouldn’t it be foolish not to kiss?

So, taking advantage of the opportunity, the little one boldly grabbed Ava Sterling’s clothes and planted a kiss on her cheek, feeling delighted.

His white, tender cheeks were instantly filled with smiles, super happy.

He was so immersed in his happiness, utterly unaware of the change in the surrounding aura, not sensing the gaze of devouring him.

He looked at Ava Sterling’s face and intended to kiss again.

Sister’s face was so soft and fragrant, he wanted to kiss it.

Thus, this time, the little one directly reached out to hold Ava Sterling’s face, planning to continue kissing.

But at this moment, the terrifyingly silent person made a move.

Grabbing his straps, he forcibly pulled the child from Ava Sterling’s embrace and directly dropped him to the ground.

The ground was covered with sand, uneven.

Poe Vaughn’s actions were extremely swift, pulling, grabbing, placing, completing these actions within a second, without any hesitation.

And when the little one’s feet touched the sand, he released his hand.

With this release, the little one swayed, unable to stand firm, then sat on the sand with a plop, bewilderedly looking at the two adults standing in front of him.

However, when he saw Poe Vaughn’s face under the night, a face that elicited both human and divine anger, the little one’s eyes widened in an instant, exclaiming, "Uncle Poe."
