Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 876: You're Staying Together! Although Orion had booked a single room this time, he had no intention of doing anything to Aveline-she was far too young.

What he didn't expect was the usually aloof Aveline grabbing his hand and placing it on her chest. His originally fair and handsface instantly turned bright red, the blush spreading quickly to his ears. Orion's entire face was flushed.

"Aveline... you..." The usually eloquent Orion found himself at a loss for words.

"Tell me, is it because you don't like my figure? You prefer someone like Celestia with a bigger chest, don't you?" Aveline asked seriously, her tone accusatory.

Orion felt both amused and exasperated. "What nonsense are you thinking about? You're only twelve, and she's seventeen. You're still developing, so there's no need to rush. No matter how you look, I'll like you just the same." "Hmph, you're just saying that. Have you ever done something bad?" Aveline looked at him with deep suspicion, as if wondering if he had fooled around with someone behind her back.

"My sweet little Aveline, I swear to heaven and earth, don't you truly feel how I treat you? Do I need to take my heart out and show it to you for you to believe me?" Orion placed her hand over his chest so she could feel the strong rhythm of his heartbeat.

"I... I believe you," she finally said.

"Aveline, I really haven't done anything with Celestia. I've never even gone on a private date with any girl before. I promise I'll patiently wait for you to grow up." Seeing the sincerity in his expression, Aveline's heart raced, and a joy she couldn't contain blossomed within her. "Orion," she called out seriously.

"Yes?" "I think I might be starting to like you-not like a sister liking her brother, but like how Mommy likes Daddy." Hearing herself say it aloud, Aveline finally realized the truth. Why did she resist when Liora tried to convince her to deliver a love letter? Why did she feel so uncomfortable when she saw Celestia approaching Orion? Deep down, her subconscious had already claimed Orion as hers.

She wouldn't tolerate any other girl getting close to him-not even being alone with him. Maybe this was what it meant to like someone.

Orion's heart leapt with joy when he heard her confession. "Aveline, are you serious? Do you really like me?" "Sorry, Orion. It's takenuntil now to understand my own feelings," Aveline admitted.

She now understood Orion's emotions. How did he feel every tsomeone tried to pursue her? And how difficult must it have been for him to care about her feelings while keeping his own hidden? His struggles had been far greater than hers.

"My little Aveline, I'm so happy. You don't know how much I've been afraid that one day you'd grow up, fall for someone else, and coldly tellto let go." The burden in his heart finally lifted, and Orion felt a happiness he had never experienced before. He had watched Aveline grow up from the tshe was born. When Aurora had asked him to choose between Aveline and Joyce, he had chosen Aveline without hesitation.

Since then, he had been like a mother hen protecting its chick, carefully caring for Aveline as she grew. Over the years, his love for her had only deepened.

"If that day really came, what would you do?" Aveline asked softly.

"I would never give you my blessing. I might try to take you back, or maybe I'd leave alone." "Orion, I won't ever like anyone else in this life. I only like you." Aveline could no longer lie to herself. She had always liked Orion.

Maybe it started when she first saw him smile at her. Or when he gave her a box of lollipops, telling her they were a semester's worth of savings. Or when she cried in fear of getting an injection, and he held her, gently saying, "Don't be scared." Hey there!

He was like a brother, a friend, a family member, and a lover all in one. He had been by her side, taking care of her all these years.

Because of his constant care, Aveline had grown accustomed to his presence and had taken his kindness for granted.

Celestia and Liora's appearances had jolted her awake, making her realize her feelings. The one she wanted had always been by her side.

Everyone else had long known how much Orion cared for her. But today, Aveline finally understood just how deeply he loved her-his care went far beyond what she had imagined.

Just as Joyce had said, she would regret it forever if she didn't cherish him.

She didn't want any regrets, so she had to hold on to him tightly.

"Aveline, this is the happiest day of my life. Don't worry-I'll treat you well for the rest of my life. I'll never let you down." "Mm, I believe you." Aveline felt at peace after admitting her feelings. It wasn't as scary as she had imagined, and a weight lifted from her heart.

"Orion, it's getting late. Go take a shower. Let's watch the sunrise tomorrow, okay?" "Of course, Aveline. Be good and wait for me." Orion kissed her on the cheek before heading to the bathroom.

Her phone suddenly rang-a video call from Joyce, right on time. Aveline glanced at the bathroom door. Orion would take a while, so she answered.

"Why haven't you showered yet?"

"Can't I call you without a reason? Mommy said you went on a tripm How's Blossom Valley? Takethere next time!" Joyce pouted playfully. "Fine, fine. When you cback, I'll take you." "Orion treats you so well. Why doesn't anyone spoillike that?" Joyce propped her chin in her hands.

"Asher? If you tell him where you want to go, he'll definitely take you," Aveline replied.

"I didn't do well on my last exam, and Ashy is mad." "I've told you to call him Uncle Asher. Why do you keep calling him Ashy?" "Because it sounds cute." "You little brat." Aveline chuckled at her. Their whole family was full of geniuses, except for Joyce, whose grades were average.

Joyce wasn't stupid-she just didn't like studying. She was naturally m drawn to art, spending her tpainting and playing the piano. Asher was worried her grades would disappoint Aurora, so he had been stricter with her lately.

"Aveline, I'm done showering." Orion stepped out in matching pajamas. Aveline didn't have tto warn him before Joyce shouted through the phone: "Wow! You're living together!" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
