CHAPTER 501: CHAPTER 501: ELDEST COUSIN AND UNCLE

Ava saw the terrifying look in Poe Vaughn’s eyes and wanted to run, but her thoughts of escape and actions were completely immobilized by the loud kiss from the little child.

She felt like she could die.

Die completely.

Because she had already seen the deep darkness in Poe Vaughn’s eyes, capable of dragging her into the eighteenth layer of Hell, subjecting her to all the punishments there. Making her unable to live, unable to die.

Terrifying, terrifying, truly too terrifying!

Yet, she knew it was terrifying but couldn’t move.

She couldn’t escape, couldn’t speak, as if she were a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, ready to be killed by Poe Vaughn at any moment.

And just at that moment, her face was held by a pair of chubby little hands, and in the next moment, her vision darkened, and hell arrived.

Ava closed her eyes in fear.

Completely subconsciously.

However, Hell didn’t do anything to her, didn’t touch her or kill her. All she felt was her arms emptied, and then the confined, terrifying aura moved away, and the impending doom seemed to vanish.

At that moment, without knowing why, Ava immediately opened her eyes. She saw that Poe Vaughn had thrown the little child down, and the little child stumbled and sat on the sand, looking bewildered.

Ava’s eyes widened, unable to react.

Because, this person’s current actions clearly told her that in this person’s eyes, even a young boy, if male, could not have close contact with her, not as intimately as just now.

In this person’s eyes, there’s no age distinction, only the difference in gender.

It’s simply... unbelievable!

This terrifying possessiveness truly left her stunned!

But Ava’s stunned state did not last long, as the surprised soft voice entered her ears.

Ava was taken aback and immediately looked at Poe Vaughn.

Uncle Poe?

What does that mean?

Could it be that the two are old acquaintances?

Poe Vaughn was blazing with fury, his entire aura cold to the extreme. Even though little Sylvie had fallen to the ground and no longer approached Ava, the terrifying aura around Poe Vaughn did not lessen one bit.

One could say, if it weren’t for the fact that the person in front of him was a young child, who knows how severe things might have become.

At that moment, the atmosphere was still tense and still made people shiver.

However, when the innocent and surprised voice fell into their ears, the surrounding terrifying aura momentarily froze.

Poe Vaughn’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the astonished yet familiar little one staring at him.

Little Sylvie truly didn’t feel the terrifying aura on Poe Vaughn one bit, not at all realizing how dangerous what he just did was.

At this moment, upon recognizing who Poe Vaughn was, the little guy became completely happy.

Especially when Poe Vaughn lowered his eyes to look at him, he could clearly see Poe Vaughn’s deeply profound eyes. The little guy immediately propped himself up on the sand, wiggling his little butt to stand up.

This posture, this action, caught people’s eyes as irresistibly cute.

Seeing the little guy’s appearance, the stiffness in Ava’s body instantly disappeared, as if she had been unlocked, able to move again.

Ava chuckled twice, saying, "So you do know each other, how wonderful."

Isn’t it wonderful?

At such a moment, the three words "Uncle Poe" spoken by the little doll were simply her lifeline, instantly saving her.

Truly touching!

Hearing Ava’s obvious attempt to escape punishment, Poe Vaughn’s gaze landed on her. Instantly, danger enveloped Ava.

Ava: "..."

"Uncle Poe, why are you here?"

Little Sylvie stood up and went in front of Poe Vaughn, placing his chubby little paw on Poe Vaughn’s expensive suit trousers, looking up to ask.

Obviously, seeing Poe Vaughn here made him very happy.

Hearing the little guy completely undisturbed by Poe Vaughn’s aura, Ava quickly said, "Little guy, you know each other?"

Quickly shift the focus, change the subject, to save herself!

Upon hearing Ava’s words, little Sylvie immediately looked at Ava, his big eyes twinkling: "Yes, Uncle Poe is a friend of my big uncle and uncle, I remember."

Speaking of his memory, the little guy was very proud, extremely confident.

His memory was quite good.

Ava chuckled twice, looked at Poe Vaughn: "Well, that is quite a coincidence..."

Poe Vaughn’s friend, big uncle, uncle, such connections weren’t unfamiliar at all.

Yet, this person seemed not to remember this little child.

Ava looked at Poe Vaughn, whose gaze was on the little child at the moment, and smiled with narrowed eyes.

It’s rare to meet someone acquainted with Poe Vaughn here, and it’s even a little child, not bad at all.

At this moment, Ava’s crisis was completely averted, and she wasn’t afraid one bit.

Poe Vaughn, hearing the little child’s clear articulation of the titles big uncle and uncle, knew who this little child was.

Ethan Ainsworth’s nephew, and at the same time, Vincent Donovan’s niece’s son, Sylvie, affectionately called Sully.

This child was clever and bright since young, also very cute, liked by everyone.

Back when this little guy was a month old, Ethan Ainsworth took him over, and he had seen this child playing around Ethan.

That was earlier this year.

But, he wouldn’t care about a child, no matter how cute or likable the child was, to him, the child was like an ordinary person, like plants or trees, nothing special.

It was not surprising that he didn’t remember such a kid.

But now, as the little guy mentioned those two people, he remembered.

At this moment, the aura around Poe Vaughn changed, no longer as terrifying as before, yet still not approachable.

Poe Vaughn looked at the little child whose entire face wrote cleverness, coldly said, "Where’s your mom and dad?"

Hearing this, the little guy paused, then his big eyes visibly turned, saying, "Mom and Dad are sleeping~"

The same answer he gave Ava, unchanged one bit.

This kid was clearly hiding something.

Poe Vaughn saw through it immediately, but he didn’t expose it, saying, "Where are your mom and dad, I’ll take you back."

Since they were acquaintances, out of courtesy, clearly, this child had sneaked out on his own. This child was bold, fearing no one.

Having seen it, naturally he had to take the child back.

Even though, at the moment, he was still not pleased with this kid.

A friend’s kid or not, some things cannot be done.

This was a strict rule.

Therefore, at this moment, Poe Vaughn was completely without warmth towards this little child, exceedingly cold and heartless.

Hearing Poe Vaughn’s question, little Sylvie’s thick curling lashes fluttered, then said, "Mom and Dad are at the hotel, uncle, let’s play together~"

"Play with sister, let’s build houses with sand, it’s so fun."

Calling Poe Vaughn uncle, calling Ava sister, although it was a simple address, the obvious generational divide in address made Poe Vaughn’s eyes darken.

He didn’t waste more words with the kid, directly took out his phone to make a call.
