Internet Breaking: The Powerful CEO Reveals His Supermodel Wife-Chapter 601: Disbelief

Poe Vaughn clearly saw Ava Sterling’s hesitation and struggle, as if she were bound by something she couldn’t break free from.

When she looked up and met his gaze again, her eyes filled with deep unease, his expression softened, and his voice lowered.

"Ava Sterling, we can talk about anything."

"You can tell me your thoughts, and I’ll respond."

Ava felt bewitched by Poe Vaughn; whatever he said, she subconsciously followed.

Now, as he spoke, it was as if a hand suddenly reached out, pulling her from the quagmire, leaving her with no option to refuse.

Instinctively, Ava furrowed her brows, parted her lips, and said, "Poe Vaughn, you’re aware of my family situation, right?"

"Yes," he replied.

Gazing at the one who answered her so steadily, without a moment’s pause, Ava pursed her lips and continued, "I never thought about being with you because it seems impossible for us."

"Your family background is good, your education is good, you’re good in every way. As for me, my family background is not only bad but ridiculously pitiful. And my education is not presentable, despite going to college later and furthering my studies, only coating myself with a superficial layer of gold. The cheapness in my bones still exists, and I’m sure you’re aware of it."

"We belong to two different worlds."

"I entered society early; while others were still in school in their teens, I was out there. I realized early on that this world values equality, and imbalance eventually leads to issues. So I never think about anything unequal, or rather, something with too much of a gap, because I know it’s not something I can obtain, nor do I want it. I don’t want to exhaust my efforts to gain something and suffer grievances in the process."

"After all, there are so many people in this world, and everyone has their own way of life. I, Ava Sterling, am not someone who has to live a life where I compromise myself, something I don’t like."

"But now, you tell me we can try, to be a couple, Poe Vaughn, and I feel like I’m dreaming."

"Indeed, you’re right, I do like you; I like everything about you. But I won’t dream or yearn, and I certainly won’t cling to you. I’m too aware of the rules of this world, always realistic and cruel."

"Therefore, I chose to leave, not wanting to become someone I’m not, someone even I wouldn’t recognize. But what you just said shook me; it raised expectations in my heart, making me want to try. Your words were too enticing, so tempting I wanted to agree immediately."

"Yet even so, I controlled myself. I am uneasy, afraid, always feeling this isn’t real."

"I don’t believe it."

"I don’t believe I can have such good fortune or luck."

Ava looked at the person merely a few steps away from her, laying out all her thoughts without a trace of reservation.

Perhaps she was truly being led by him, or maybe she wanted to try, or maybe her nature wasn’t one to hide anything, speaking whatever came to mind.

Moreover, it was he who indulged her to speak.

How could she hold back?

She couldn’t.

Poe Vaughn felt a pang in his heart, much like the tightly woven pain that ensnared him last night.

At this moment, the aura around him spread, but it was not of indifference; rather, it was calm, a calm carrying a hint of gentle reassurance.

"Ava Sterling, now listen to what I’m about to say."

He began, his gaze fixed on her, eyes filled with deep emotions and words surfacing.

Ava’s heart was beating faster, almost leaping into her throat, ready to jump out at any moment.

This made her instinctively, uncontrollably cover her heart, trying to calm herself.

Then, with her thoughts highly focused, she looked at Poe Vaughn, waiting to hear him speak.

She wanted to hear him speak.

Speak a lot.

She didn’t want to miss a single word or sound.
