Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 858: Little Orion Ever since little Orion developed a fondness for Aveline, he would visit Aurora's house every few days. Even though Aveline couldn't speak yet, Orion found her absolutely adorable.

By the end of summer vacation, Orion was over six years old. Following his family's plans, he needed to return to Clothville to attend school.

On the day he was set to leave, Orion bawled his eyes out, clinging to Aurora's house and refusing to go.

"Auntie Aurora, starting tomorrow, I won't be able to see Aveline anymore. What if she starts liking someone else?" he wailed.

Aurora glanced at little Aveline, who was just over nine months old. She could now slowly stand up but still hadn't started speaking.

"Orion, isn't it a bit too early to worry about this? Aveline is still so young; she doesn't even know what liking someone means," Aurora said helplessly. Orion's words often left her both amused and exasperated.

"That may be true, but I won't see her again until winter break. By then, Aveline will probably be walking, right?" "Mm-hmm. By then, she'll be able to run around with you. But Orion, you have to study hard too, okay?" Aurora said as she ruffled his hair.

"Alright, it's tto say goodbye. We need to leave now," Jade called from the doorway. Orion had spent the last few days at Aurora's house, practically wishing he could take root there.

"Aveline, I'm leaving now. You have to remember me, okay?" Orion gently pinched Aveline's chubby cheek.

If Julian hadn't been standing there, Orion would have probably planted a kiss on little Aveline. Aveline's big, bright eyes stared at Orion. As if sensing he was leaving, her eyes started to well up with tears before she began to cry.

"Aveline, don't cry, don't cry. I'll be back soon," Orion said, his heart breaking at the sight of her tears.

"I thought such a young child wouldn't have any strong feelings, but it seems Aveline likes Orion after all," Aurora said softly, her heart aching a little.

Aveline and Joyce had always been well-behaved. Aveline, in particular, wasn't prone to laughing or crying, and she rarely reacted when Orion cand went. But this twas different.

"Waaah..." Aveline reached out her little arms, wanting Orion to hold her. Orion's heart melted entirely as he quickly picked her up and comforted her.

"Aveline, don't cry. I'll save up all the lollipops I get and give them to you as a gift, okay? The moment I'm on break, I'll cback to see you," Orion promised.

It seemed Aveline understood sof his words because her cries gradually subsided.

After much coaxing, Orion finally left, turning back every few steps to look at them. Once they were out of sight, little Orion clutched his chest tically. "Mommy, I think my heart is breaking," he said.

Jade looked at her son, the little king, and poked his forehead. "I told you to stop watching so many soap operas, but you never listen." Their housekeeper loved watching soap operas, and recently, Orion had joined her. The two would sit on the couch, discussing plot twists, leaving Jade exasperated.

"But Mommy, I just wanted to see how the male leads treat the girls they like. That way, Aveline won't end up liking someone else when she grows up," Orion explained seriously.

"You little schemer," Jade muttered.

"Mommy, it's been ten minutes since I last saw Aveline, and I already miss her," Orion sighed tically.

"If you keep talking like that, I'll throw you out the window," Jade said, finally losing her patience.

Orion immediately put on his hat and slung his little backpack over his shoulder. "Alright, Mommy, I'm ready. You can throwout now so I can walk back to Aveline. No one will ever separate us again." Jade tugged at his cheek playfully.

"Ow, Mommy, that hurts! You're the one who said you'd throw me!" "Well, I've changed my mind. I'm not throwing you anymore. How about that?" "Women are so fickle! Daddy, are you just going to stand there and let Mommy bully your precious little boy?" Orion turned to his father for help, pouting.

"Your mommy is my only precious one. As for you, if you keep making her mad, she can pull on your cheeks all she wants," Julian replied calmly.

"Aaaah! You're all bullying a child!" Orion puffed up his cheeks in frustration. The car was soon filled with laughter, a typical scene for Orion's family.

Back at the house, Aurora carried the still-sniffling Aveline to her room. "Orion will be back soon. You just need to grow up quickly. Once you're older, you can go to school with him," she whispered to Aveline.

Aveline sat on the bed, seemingly lost in thought. Sensing that her sister was upset, Joyce crawled over and hugged her.

"Joyce is such a good girl," Aurora said, watching her two daughters with affection. Both were so well-behaved and adorable that Aurora often wondered if it was a matter of genes.

From the moment she got pregnant, she'd never experienced much discomfort. No terrible morning sickness, and the babies rarely cried at night, sparing her a great deal of trouble.

"Little Bunny, you must be tired. Lettake care of the kids while you get srest. Orion's boundless energy must have worn you out these past few days," Julian said gently.

After taking nearly a year off, Julian had recently gone back to work. Most of the time, Aurora was at hwith the children and the housekeeper. But Aurora, being hands-on by nature, preferred taking care of the twins herself. Juggling two babies and a curious little Orion had indeed taken a toll on her.

"Alright," she said with a small smile.

Just then, Asher arrived. He'd been coming over frequently, practically earning the title of honorary babysitter. Joyce, ever the cheerful one, lit up the moment she saw Asher. She seemed to adore him the most, becoming visibly excited whenever he arrived.

"Ah..." Joyce stretched out her little arms, signaling that she wanted Asher to pick her up. Asher, already used to this, scooped her up right away.

Although he loved both of Aurora's daughters, Joyce's clinginess made him favor her just a little more.

Maybe she's waiting for you," Aurora said with a smile. "I like Joyce too. She always smiles when she sees me," Asher replied, his natural talent for babysitting shining through.

"By the way, I'll be heading back to Clothville in a few months," Aurora said. She had taken a long enough break, and her mother had fully recovered.

Although she held the majority of shares in R Company, Tina was currently in charge of management. Aurora had spent over a year in New York and decided it was ttom return to Clothville, where her and Julian's main careers were based. Julian had been flying back and forth constantly, and she knew it was exhausting for him. "You're going back to Clothville?" Asher's heart sank. He wasn't sure if it was because he'd grown accustomed to Aurora's presence or because he couldn't bear to part with the little girl clinging to him.

"Yes. I can't be a stay-at-hmom forever, can I?" Aurora said with an light laugh She'd already pushed her limits by staying hfor a year and a half. "I see," Asher said.

After that day, Asher cover even more frequently. A few months later, the twins had started speaking.

Aside from "Mommy" and "Daddy," Joyce's third word was "Ass." "Ass... hug," she said, reaching for Asher.

"Joyce, are you trying to say 'Ashy'?" Aurora asked, amused by her garbled pronunciation.

"Ass, Ass hug," Joyce insisted, stretching her arms toward Asher.

Hearing the little baby call his nfor the first tmelted Asher's heart completely.
