Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 118 Let Met Feed You

Now, whenever Aurora returned, she habitually glanced at the villa next door, finding warmth in her heart at the sight of its illuminated windows.

Just as she was about to enter her home, Julian's butler from next door came out. "Miss Montgomery, I've made some late-night snacks. Would you like to try some?"

Recalling the romantic evening she had the night before, Aurora wondered if this was yet another of Julian's traps. "Thank you, but I'm not hungry. I'm going to sleep," she declined.

The butler returned inside and saw his young master stretching his neck to look behind him. "Master, stop looking. Miss Montgomery didn't come."

Julian had waited all day for her, eagerly hoping to see her upon her return.

Hearing that she hadn't come, disappointment washed over his face. The butler, seeing his dejected expression, tried to soften the blow, "Miss Montgomery is quite tired. She probably wants to sleep early."

"Okay." Julian didn't say much, but his desire to see her hadn't diminished at all.

After finishing her nightly routine, Aurora was ready to sleep when she suddenly heard faint footsteps on the balcony. Her expression cooled.

Could it be that Ivy knew she was back and had swiftly sent an assassin? With a dark look, Aurora rolled off the bed and grabbed a vase, cautiously positioning herself by the balcony door. As the footsteps drew nearer, her heartbeat quickened, and she lifted the vase high.

The door opened, and Aurora swung the vase at the figure's head, but luckily, Julian dodged it in time.

"Is this how you greet your guests?" Julian eyed the large vase in her hands. Had it made contact, it could have been fatal.

Aurora, slightly shaken, set the vase down. "What are you doing here?"

"I haven't seen you all day, and I just wanted to check on you," Julian said plainly, but his words sounded deeply affectionate.

"It's only been since morning, hardly a day," Aurora retorted as she placed the vase back in its spot.

"That's enough to miss you," Julian embraced her from behind, teasing, "What a heartless woman. Don't you miss me?"
