Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 878: LetTeach You How to Behave The sky was still dark when Aveline opened her eyes. She had always been an early riser, unlike Orion, who was still fast asleep beside her.

Aveline turned her gaze to his delicate features. How had she never noticed how handshe was? If Orion beca celebrity, he'd surely take the world by storm.

Unable to resist, she reached out and gently traced her finger along the tip of his nose. It was like a feather brushing against him, tickling softly. In his sleep, Orion instinctively reached out his large hand and clasped hers.

It wasn't surprising that Orion was reluctant to wake up. After all, the person he loved was right by his side. Aveline, on the other hand, seemed to have just discovered the art of kissing.

The night before, she had kissed Orion countless times until she finally drifted off to sleep, content. But Orion, being a man full of youthful energy, had not been unaffected. He had to hold himself back, afraid of scaring her, while also trying to keep her company through their late-night conversations. It had been a test of his patience. Despite her usually aloof demeanor, Aveline was a restless sleeper. Though she appeared independent, she clung to a large teddy bear every night. Perhaps her solitary nature made her crave warmth in her sleep.

Her vulnerability showed as she curled into a shrimp-like position while sleeping, clutching Orion's waist and draping her leg over him. Orion, surrounded by the scent of her hair, had to fight his own impulses. Many times, he wanted to reach out and touch the little fairy sleeping beside him, but he held back.

It wasn't until around four in the morning that Orion finally dozed off. Now, at five- thirty, with the sun still hidden, he remained deep in slumber.

Aveline, seeing that he hadn't woken, lightly touched his eyelid. His eyes, she thought, were as beautiful as flawless amber gemstones.

Perhaps due to his regular exercise, Orion had well-defined abs. To Aveline, this was like discovering a new world. She curiously touched here and there, poking at his abs. Finding the sensation through his clothing unsatisfying, she slipped her hand under his shirt to feel his firm muscles.

His skin was warm, and the texture of his muscles was so pleasing that she absentmindedly continued exploring, like a curious child.

Mfmm... "Arůniéîtouitar sort; urioriscrous-yroari, this voice tiger with cormón ct Aveline leaned down and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "I like you, Orion," she whispered.

Then, she jumped out of bed, carefully got dressed, freshened up, and grabbed her camera to watch the sunrise alone.

The morning valley was chilly, but the air was crisp and refreshing, filled with the songs of birds perched on branches.

Aveline climbed to the top of the hill, choosing the best spot to take in the view.

"Mom, hurry up! The sun's about to rise," a voice called nearby. It was Celestia.

Aveline frowned. Every tshe was in a good mood, Celestia seemed to show up to ruin it.

Though she was certain Orion would never reciprocate Celestia's advances, the latter's penchant for creating trouble was undeniably irritating.

As expected, when Celestia saw Aveline, her expression darkened. She still hadn't forgotten how Orion had mercilessly pushed her to the ground the previous night, leaving her back bruised.

"Well, look who's up and about," Celestia sneered. "I must say, Miss Barnet, your stamina is impressive. Or is it that you're just naturally made to be under a man?" Aveline immediately understood her insinuation. "Celestia, watch your mouth. Nothing is going on betweenand Orion." "Oh, you say it so affectionately," Celestia mocked. "I wonder what kind of upbringing you had. So young, yet already skilled at seducing men. Or maybe you're just like your mother-a shameless woman." Celestia's words were venomous, a culmination of the humiliation she felt from the previous night. Aveline, who was unaccustomed to dealing with such crude insults, didn't hesitate. She slapped Celestia across the face.

"You can insult me, but you will not insult my mother," Aveline said coldly.

"You dare hit me?" Celestia shrieked.

"If your mother didn't teach you manners, then I will. Respect others if you want respect in return. I've told you before-my relationship with Orion is none of your business." At that moment, Celestia's family arrived, just in tto witness Aveline's slap. Celestia's seven-year-old brother ran over and began hitting Aveline. "How dare you hit my sister? You're a bad person!" he yelled, his punches surprisingly forceful.

Aveline, recognizing he was just a child, didn't retaliate.

Celestia ran to her father, whining, "Dad, she slapped me!" Her father, who had seen the slap himself, frowned. "Young lady, can't you settle things with words? Why resort to violence? Apologize to Celestia, now." "Apologize to her? What about her insulting my mother? If anyone needs to apologize, it's her," Aveline replied calmly, maintaining her composure.

"Celestia, did you say something about her mother?" her father asked.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.com, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free! "Mom, of course not! She hitout of nowhere," Celestia lied.

Aveline shot Celestia a cold glance. A woman like this, she thought, didn't е even deserve to carry Orion's shoes.

Her mood for watching the sunrise ruined, Aveline turned and left without saying another word. Celestia, seeing her walk away, shouted after her, "Aveline, you just wait! I won't let you off so easily!" "I'll be waiting," Aveline replied without looking back.

"Mom, Dad, see how arrogant she is? She's clearly someone with no manners," Celestia fumed.

Aveline's eyes turned icy. She regretted not slapping Celestia a few more times when she had the chance.

With her mood thoroughly soured, Aveline returned to their room.

Orion had just woken up, rubbing his eyes. "Aveline, where did you go?!?! was about to get up and join you for the sunrise." "There's no need, Orion," Aveline replied.

By now, the sun had risen, piercing through the clouds and illuminating the world with its golden light. But to Aveline, its brilliance held no warmth.
