Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 879: Youth Is Wonderful Orion's drowsiness vanished instantly. He pulled Aveline into his arms. "Aveline, what's wrong? Did I snore last night and wake you up?" Aveline chuckled softly at his concern. "You don't snore at all." When Orion slept, he was quiet, like a prince in a deep slumber. His golden hair and fair skin gave him an almost ethereal quality, as if he belonged in a painting.

"That's good. I was worried I might have disturbed you. But why are you upset? Is it because I woke up late?" Aveline's anger from earlier, caused by Celestia, dissipated immediately. "Orion, I'm not upset because of you." "Oh no, the sun is already up! I'm sorry, Aveline. I overslept." Orion glanced outside at the crimson sun hanging high in the sky.

Seeing his apologetic expression, Aveline couldn't help but smile. "Who says we can't enjoy it? This is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise." She reached for his hand and led him to the balcony. This stargazing room was built at a considerable height, offering breathtaking views.

"The view here isn't as expansive as the observation deck," Orion remarked.

"Every angle shows a different kind of beauty. Who says the observation deck is the best? I like it here. Watching the sunrise with you makes it the most beautiful," Aveline said softly.

"Aveline..." Orion leaned down and kissed her.

The orange-red sunlight broke through the darkness, scattering golden rays across the world. The light fell on the young couple, locked in an embrace, creating a moment of perfect harmony.

Though this trip had been interrupted by Celestia, both Aveline and Orion had gained something valuable. Aveline cto terms with her feelings, while Orion found the love he had been searching for.

They spent the morning exploring the valley, leaving only after lunch.

At the parking lot, they ran into Celestia and her family. Aveline chose not to tell Orion about the previous night's events-she didn't care to gossip behind people's backs.

Celestia was about to get into the car when she spotted Orion holding Aveline's hand, followed by the resort manager carrying their luggage.

To Celestia, last night's failure was all Aveline's fault. Orion must have agreed to leave early because he was afraid of raising Aveline's suspicions, and that's why he ignored her completely.

"Orion!" she called out from a distance.

Hearing her say his nmade Aveline feel sick to her stomach, as if her skin was crawling.

For the first time, Orion realized how thick a person's skin could be. After what had happened last night, even he, as a man, felt embarrassed. Yet Celestia acted as if nothing had occurred.

Having seen her true nature, Orion only wanted to stay far away. In the past, he might have paused and nodded politely if she called out to him.

Today, he didn't stop. He walked right past her, opened the passenger door for Aveline, and helped her into the car.

Leaning over, he buckled her seatbelt. "We've got a few hours on the road. Do you need anything for the trip?" "There's water in the car. It's just a few hours," Aveline replied casually. She wasn't the type to make a fuss, but those around her-Orion, his parents, her own parents, her grandparents-always treated her like a treasure to be protected.

"Got it." Orion started the car and drove off without a second glance.

Celestia watched the luxury car disappear into the distance. It wasn't the scar she had seen the other night. His family must be loaded.

She glanced at her family's modest vehicle, which her father had been driving for over seven years. Once again, she felt the sting of envy.

While she had to sit in a car with a broken air conditioner, Aveline got to ride in a luxury car, enjoying cool air. "Celestia, stop staring. It's tto go," her father said.

"Alright," she replied, snapping back to reality.

Enjoying the book? Don't forget to visit nov L5sfor the full experience. You won't find the next chapter anywhere else. Happy reading! Someday, she thought, she would transform from Cinderella into a princess. Orion was the prince she had chosen.

In the car, Aveline's face turned cold. "Stay away from that woman in the future. I can't stand her." "As you wish," Orion replied. Even without her request, he had already decided to avoid Celestia. He didn't like her at all.

In the past, he'd felt indifferent toward her. But after last night, she was permanently blacklisted in his mind.

If a woman didn't even respect her own dignity, how could anyone expect her to be a decent person? "In the future, I'll steer clear of her entirely. Not just her-no other girls will get close to me. I won't even let a single female fly near me, okay?" "You're ridiculous. How do you know which flies are female?" "Any that cnearmust be female," he joked, implying his own attractiveness. Aveline chuckled, her mood lightening.

"You're so beautiful when you smile, Aveline. I hope you only smile like that for me," Orion said sincerely.

"To you, and you alone. Well, except for Daddy, Mommy, Joyce, Grandma, and Uncle Asher..." "Alright," Orion said, feeling warmth in his heart.

When they arrived at her house, it was already dark. "I won't cin. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning," Orion said.

"Okay. Goodbye, Orion," Aveline said, waving.

But Orion didn't leave. He pointed to his cheek. "You're forgetting something." Enjoying the book? Don't forget to visit nov L5sfor the full experience. You won't find the next chapter anywhere else. Happy reading! Aveline blushed, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed his cheek.

Orion pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply. Feeling her body go weak in his embrace, he couldn't help but react.

"I can't wait for you to grow up," he murmured, his fingers brushing her lips. Aveline understood what he meant. "I'll grow up as quickly as I can. Goodbye, Orion." "Goodbye." From the second floor, Aurora and Julian watched the scene unfold.

"It looks like Orion and Aveline have grown closer after this trip," Aurora commented.

"Of course. My advice always works," Julian said, wrapping his arms around her. "What kind of father teaches a boy how to woo his daughter?" Aurora asked, feigning anger.

"She's twelve. That's not so young.

Orion's almost eighteen. I wast twelve when I decided you were the one for me. Orion is a good kid. I trust he'll treat her right and won't hurt her."

"I'm not worried about that. We've watched him grow up," Aurora said. She couldn't help but smile as she' recalled a scene from the amusement park. She still wondered what had been on Orion's mind at the time.

The young couple's kiss lasted over five minutes. Aurora sighed. "Youth is wonderful." erful." "You talk as if you're old," Julian teased. "Now that Nash is asleep, let's do something young people do." With a wicked grin, he pushed her onto the bed.

At forty, Julian had matured into a man with a unique charm.

Aurora let out a soft gasp. Over the years, Julian had grown more composed, but his love for her and their children had never wavered.
