Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 55: An Intriguing Offer

This was the true highlight, even more enticing than anything he had previously mentioned. Aurora felt a surge of excitement at the thought of Hayden's expression. Julian gently lifted her face. "How about this deal?"

His voice, devilish at her ear, revealed the true businessman in him, a master at manipulating hearts. He knew exactly what others needed and their weaknesses, making it easy for him to break them down.

Faced with this immense temptation, Aurora quickly regained her senses. "May I have some time to think about it?"

"You may, as long as you wish, this agreement will always be valid." Julian knew when she spoke like this, the odds were in his favor.

"It's getting late. Go freshen up," Julian urged, and obediently, Aurora went to the bathroom.

Her heart was still restless. Was she just to be Mrs. Barnet like that? But could it really

be that simple with this man? Cautiously, she decided to wait and see.

Dealing with such a cunning businessman, it was likely she could be completely devoured.

Julian, watching the bathroom light, felt somewhat helpless. Although he had schemed against many, he was sincere about love this time.

However, this woman seemed suspicious, and all he could do was keep her for now. Time would foster affection. He believed his charm could eventually win her over.

At her pleading, the outfit was changed to long sleeves and pants, with a variety of daily necessities already prepared in the bathroom. The man was efficient, and he had everything ready without her agreement, from skincare products to toothbrushes and towels.

Julian put down his magazine, automatically pulling the blanket for
