Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 84 It Is Sweet

Julian set aside the magazine he was holding and looked up at Aurora as she approached in a black slit evening gown. With each step she took, the shapely legs hidden beneath the dress were accentuated by the slim fit of the fabric. Her hair was styled up, with two curly tendrils hanging by her ears, which were adorned with a pair of black earrings that gleamed with a subtle light. Few could wear black with such compelling charm. The dark color made Aurora's complexion appear even more fair, especially with the colored contacts that were specifically chosen for her, lending an air of grandeur to her makeup. Her features were naturally distinct, and the makeup suited her perfectly. Aurora had just finished getting ready, and her appearance was strikingly beautiful, making Julian's eyes light up. She looked almost like a different person, breathtakingly beautiful, and he surveyed her slender figure with appreciation. "Very beautiful."

"Mr. Barnet, I'm glad you like it," Calvin said with a sycophantic grin.

"I indeed like it," Julian replied, his gaze sweeping over Aurora's face and then briefly over to Rocky, who went to settle the bill with Calvin.

Julian took Aurora's hand and they left together. By the time they exited, it had already grown dark outside. He glanced at his wristwatch when he said, "I had planned to go eat after you changed, but I hadn't realized how troublesome it is for a woman to dress up." Julian noted the time was already late.

Aurora tilted her head to look at him. "Have you never waited for a woman?"

"Do you think there has been any woman worth waiting for? You are the first in these years," Julian said earnestly, recalling what the housekeeper had mentioned about him never bringing a woman to his villa before, which spoke to his integrity. He had been without a woman by his side, naturally unaware of their needs, something she could understand.

"The dinner time is approaching. I think I'll buy some cupcakes to stave off the hunger," Aurora said, somewhat embarrassed to meet his gaze.

"No need. You get in the car. I'll go buy it," Julian insisted as he helped her into the car. Her heels were very high, and although women wore high heels more than men, Julian had become more empathetic after watching a video at the office today. It showed several men struggling to walk in high heels all day, which made him realize the hardships women endure.

Sitting in the car, Aurora smiled warmly, watching his retreating figure. Julian seemed even more considerate than before. She often suffered from low blood sugar, and her mention of buying cupcakes was actually to prevent feeling dizzy from low blood sugar, so Julian's offering to buy them was more than welcome.

In the somewhat shaky ride of the car, holding the tiramisu in one hand and the spoon in the other, she dared not push Julian away too forcefully.
