Ash couldn't stop laughing, finding Ava's flabbergasted expression utterly amusing. He desired to clarify his answer and explain himself, but his laughter overwhelmed him to the point where he couldn't utter a word.
Ava's expression twisted with a mix of realization and frustration as she comprehended that Ash had been teasing her all along. "You were joking! That's why you're laughing!" she exclaimed, unable to hide her exasperation.
She couldn't help but facepalm herself, berating her own gullibility. "I should have known better!" she muttered, shaking her head in disappointment but soon chuckled.
