Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 74 Turns Out She Can Manage Alone

After stirring up a storm, she simply left, leaving Hayden feeling an emptiness in his arms. He was filled with excitement upon her return, only to find she had changed a lot.

As Hayden was lost in thought, Aurora hailed a taxi. He knew that once she left, he couldn't say when they would meet again. "Please take me to..." Aurora began, but before she could reveal her address, Hayden jumped into the cab. Not wanting to disclose her location to avoid his persistent presence, she quickly changed her destination. "To the Grand Belcourt."

"And for you, sir?" the taxi driver asked, glancing back at Hayden.

"I'm with her," Hayden said, closing the car door.

The car merged into the bustling city streets, colorful lights flashing past the car windows. Aurora sat sideways, gazing out at the scenery, while Hayden's eyes remained fixed on her. Her body language unconsciously conveyed her reluctance to engage with him.

Aurora rolled down the window slightly, and a gentle breeze tousled her hair. She seemed mesmerized by the city lights, her expression devoid of seduction, almost reminiscent of her past self.

Hayden reached out, instinctively wanting to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, but she turned towards him as if sensing his intention. His hand froze mid-air as Aurora tucked her hair back herself.
