Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 877 - The Cunning Little Devil Joyce was the most gossip-loving person, and witnessing this scene now was something she would never let go of.

"Orion, you're pretty quick, huh? So fast to win over my Aveline? Does this mean you're going to be my brother- in-law? Oh my, you're even wearing matching pajamas! That's just too sweet!" Joyce clasped her hands under her chin, twirling around in delight. "I have to tell Mom and Dad about this right away!" In the hearts of both families, Orion and Aveline had already been considered son-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Jade, who only had one son, Orion, had always adored Aveline. When Aveline was a child, Jade would buy any cute little dresses she cacross. The family meals were always tailored to Aveline's preferences, and she would purchase jewelry for her even though Aveline was too young to use it.

Aurora and Julian also deeply appreciated Orion for his loyalty and dedication. They already saw him as part of the family, trusting him completely with Aveline.

"Joyce, it's not what you think," Aveline quickly tried to explain. If this misunderstanding spread through Joyce's big mouth, who knew what kind of wild story it would turn into? "If it's not what I think, then what is it?" Joyce's wide eyes darted between the two of them.

Aveline wanted to explain but didn't know where to start. Joyce had such an overactive imagination-one sentence from Aveline could spiral into ten different scenarios in her mind.

"Joyce, Aveline and I are staying together because this is the only stargazing room." "You don't need to explain, I understand everything," Joyce said with a sly grin. "But Aveline is still young, so you better take it easy." Aveline's face darkened. "I already said it's not what you think, Joyce." "If it's not what I think, then what is it?" Joyce asked again, her mischievous expression unwavering.

"I can't explain it to you. Just don't spread nonsense, or I'll rip that mouth of yours to shreds," Aveline threatened icily.

"Aveline, you're so fierce! Alright, alright, I won't interrupt your little love nest anymore. La la la, throwing flowers! Congratulations, Orion, for achieving your dream-our cold-hearted Aveline has finally opened up!" The scene ended with Joyce's laughter.

Orion noticed Aveline's face wasn't looking great. "Aveline, should I go explain to her again?" "No need. Once she's decided on something, the more you explain, the worse it gets. Let's just leave it. I have my ways to deal with her," Aveline replied with a mysterious smile as she picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"Asher, how have you been? Has Joyce been giving you any trouble lately?" Aveline asked warmly.

"Not at all. Joyce has been very well-behaved. She's brought a lot of joy into my life," Asher replied, only saying good things about Joyce.

Deep down, he didn't want to part with Joyce and had grown protective of her.

"That's good to hear. I was just worried she might be causing trouble. I heard her grades on the last test weren't great, and Mom wasn't too happy about it," Aveline said pointedly.

Aveline knew everyone's weaknesses. Asher's weakness was Mom, while the otherwise untamable Joyce always listened to Asher.

"Joyce has been a bit playful lately, but I'll make sure to guide her properly," Asher promised.

Having been together with Joyce for so long, he was used to her presence. The thought of her leaving worried him, especially if Aurora decided to send Joyce back to Clothville due to her poor grades.

"That's for the best. I'll send over spractice materials tomorrow for Joyce. Please make sure she works on them, okay?" Aveline said, pretending to act concerned for her "little sister." "Of course. I'll keep a close eye on her," Asher agreed.

"Thank you, Asher. Goodbye for now." "Goodbye, Aveline." Orion, watching this unfold, suddenly realized that Aveline not only resembled Julian in appearance but was equally cunning.

Joyce would soon be overwhelmed. The practice materials from their school were notorious for being grueling. "You little devil," Orion teased, tapping Aveline's nose.

"So, do you likethis way, Orion?" Aveline asked playfully, looping her arms around his neck.

The once-cold Aveline now looked adorably coy. Orion found her irresistible. "I can't even like you enough." "Orion, you're wearing such childish pajamas?" Aveline just noticed that their pajamas had matching patterns. "I just picked something randomly. I didn't realize it was a couple's set," Orion said, feigning carelessness. The design featured Aveline's favorite pattern, so there was no way it was chosen randomly. Aveline smiled knowingly. "Orion, lettell you a little secret." "Hmm?" "I stopped wearing this kind of style back in third grade. You're so silly, thinking I'm still a kid," Aveline said, her maturity shining through.

Orion wasn't sure what style she'd like now. His image of her was still tied to the little girl wearing cartoon pajamas.

"Then what kind of style do you like now? I'll keep it in mind for next time," he asked earnestly.

"How about I show you next time?" Aveline replied with a mischievous smile.

"You little minx, you're teasing me, aren't you?" Orion, a grown man with a healthy dose of self-control, couldn't help but feel flustered.

"Well, I'm going to marry you someday, Orion. You can do whatever you want," Aveline whispered, her voice soft yet bold.

"You're such a little devil," Orion said, unable to resist as he leaned in and pinned her onto the bed. But he didn't O go further, only kissing her. She was too young, and he didn't want to hurt her. Aveline felt her heart race like never before.

Orion gently turned off the lights. The room went dark, and the tempered glass ceiling revealed a sky full of stars.

The two lay on the large European-style round bed, holding each other tightly. Their Their kisses alone brought a sense of bliss neither of them had experienced before. Aveline intertwined her fingers with his. She used to think she was too young for love, that it was too heavy and profound for her to understand. But now, she felt like she understood it a little. Love wasn't so complicated after all.

It was as simple as the person you longed for loving you back. It was having them fill you every thought, like now, with the stars above and her heart beating wildly. "Orion... maybe you could..." "No. You're still too young. I'll wait for you to grow up. That's my principle," Orion said firmly.

"Then you'll have to be patient... I'll do my best to grow up quickly," Aveline murmured, nestling into his embrace. She felt completely safe in his arms.

This was her safest haven. She lay quietly, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.

"Orion, how many stars do you think are in the sky?" "As many as there are hairs on your head." "Orion, you're so sneaky," Aveline pouted.

"Aveline, I feel like I've never truly seen you until now. The real you is so adorable. I'm falling for you more and more," Orion confessed.

"Orion, let's love each other for a long, long time." "Of course. We promised. We'll always love each other, and I'll wait for you to grow up." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
