Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 880: The Male Fly and the Female Fly The next morning, Orion arrived early to pick up Aveline for school. Aurora, dressed in a sharp suit, was getting ready to head to the company with Julian.

Julian had recently acquired Aurora's company, and now the two worked together in the splace. This arrangement allowed Julian to see Aurora every day, fulfilling his deep longing for her presence.

"Mr. and Mrs. Barnet, I'm here to pick up Aveline for school," Orion greeted politely.

Both Aurora and Julian pretended not to notice the growing closeness between Orion and Aveline.

"We'll leave Aveline in your care," Julian replied.

"It's my duty," Orion said with a bright smile.

"Aveline is still getting dressed," Julian said deliberately. "She used to be quick with washing up, but today she's already tried on several outfits and still isn't satisfied. I guess it's the teenage years kicking in." Julian's subtle observation hinted at a deeper truth. When girls start paying attention to their appearance, it often means they're beginning to grow into young women- perhaps because they've found someone worth dressing up for.

"No problem, we've got time. I'll wait. Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Barnet." "You can wait in the living room. Who knows how long she'll be?" "Alright." As Julian and Aurora left, Orion watched their harmonious figures disappear. Ever since he'd met Julian and Aurora, their relationship had always seemed perfect.

The two never appeared to argue. Even when there were small disagreements, Julian would be the first to compromise. It was as if they couldn't even find a reason to fight. Their relationship was sweeter and more affectionate than many younger couples, reminding Orion of his own parents.

After waiting for about five minutes, Aveline finally cdownstairs. Her hair was braided, and she wore an off- shoulder dress that accentuated her long neck and delicate collarbones. Two small flower clips adorned her styled hair.

She walked down against the light, the sunlight behind her casting a golden glow around her figure.

"Am I seeing a little fairy?" Orion teased.

"Stop it," Aveline replied shyly, smiling.

"Julian toldyou never cared about these things before. Now that you're starting to dress up, is it because of me?" Orion asked knowingly.

Aveline lightly punched his chest. "Of course not. Hmph, it's getting late. Let's go." "You look so beautiful today, Aveline. I almost don't want to let you leave the house," Orion said with a frown.

In that moment, he understood why his father would always find excuses to make his mother change whenever she wore a backless or low-cut dress. It wasn't about the dress-it was about the gazes of other men. Now, Orion felt the sway.

"Other people don't matter to me. Only you," Aveline said softly, her careful preparation clearly meant for him. "That's all I needed to hear. Let's go." Orion's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

As they neared the school, Aveline asked Orion to stop the car. She preferred to keep a low profile and usually got off a block early to avoid drawing attention. Today, riding in Orion's car would only add fuel to the rumor mill if anyone saw them together.

"What's wrong, Aveline?" Orion asked.

"I'll get off here," she said. "I'm only in middle school, and my focus should be on academics. I don't want unnecessary gossip affecting my studies." "I understand. Whatever you decide, I'll support you," Orion replied with a nod.

"Let's go our separate ways from here." Aveline reached for the door handle, but Orion pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

The thought of the driver in the front seat made Aveline blush even more. Knowing how shy she could be, Orion didn't push too far. He released her after a brief kiss, and Aveline gently pushed him away.

"We're almost at school. You can't do that," she scolded.

"So, it's okay if we're not at school?" Orion teased, intentionally twisting her words.

"Orion, you're getting worse!" Aveline huffed, quickly opening the car door and stepping out.

After she left, Orion got out of the car as well. There was no way he would let his little angel walk into school alone. In his eyes, every man in the world had beca potential rival, all of them vying for Aveline's attention. Though it wasn't quite as tic as he imagined, Aveline's popularity at school was undeniable. Today, with her extra effort in dressing up, she caught even more attention. Every boy who passed her turned his head for a second glance.

"Aveline, have you had breakfast? Here's ssoy milk-I bought it just for you," a boy approached her eagerly. "Thanks, but I've already eaten," Aveline replied as usual, politely declining.

But perhaps due to Orion's earlier influence, her cheeks carried a faint blush, and her voice had softened slightly.

The boy, noticing her shy expression, felt his heart skip a beat. Did this cold beauty actually like him? "Aveline, you look stunning today!" another boy chimed in.

"Duh, when doesn't Aveline look stunning?" Enjoying the book? Don't forget to visit novi L5sfor the full experience. You won't find the next chapter anywhere else. Happy reading! "She's the prettiest girl in the entire middle school!" Not far away, Orion observed the scene with growing irritation. He wanted nothing more than to swat these "flies" away with a flyswatter. Soy milk? How basic. His Aveline didn't even like soy milk.

Of course, Aveline was beautiful-she was the most adorable in private too. But these boys wouldn't know that. Only he did.

Orion grumbled silently to himself. If it weren't for his promise to Aveline not to interfere with her life, he would e have stepped in and chased those boys away already. But he knew Aveline didn't like drawing attention, so for her sake, he held back. "Orion, you didn't take your usual private car today?" A familiar voice interrupted his thoughts. It was Celestia, the persistent "female fly" who seemed incapable of taking the hint.

Orion couldn't understand how someone could have such thick skin. He had already made it clear he wasn't interested-even going so far as to shove her away once-but she still wouldn't give up.

Annoyed, Orion ignored her and kept his focus on Aveline.

"Orion, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Can you stop following me? You're annoying," Orion finally snapped, stopping in his tracks. Her constant chatter was drowning out everything Was else, and he couldn't even hear what was happening with Aveline. "Orion..." "Look, isn't that Celestia and Orion? Are they dating?" someone nearby whispered. "That can't be right. Orion looks pretty upset."

Celestia, hearing the murmurs, sped up to catch Orion. She hoped the other girls would think they were a couple. they believed that, fewer I girls would dare to approach him, and she'd have fewer competitors for his attention. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
