Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 134 Wishing on a Meteor

The night in the mountains should have been extremely cold, but snuggled in his

embrace, Aurora felt no chill at all. Her heart, which she thought had grown cold, was warming up bit by bit. "When I was a child, I heard that if you make a wish upon seeing a meteor, it will help fulfill your wish."

"Remember to make a wish later." Julian didn't mock her naivety.

Aurora smiled and said, "Do you think I'm a child? How could a meteor possibly grant human wishes?"

"Just try it. You have nothing to lose anyway. You can say your wish out loud."

"I don't want to make a wish. It's childish," Aurora scoffed, while Julian chuckled, secretly hoping she would express it.

Maybe it wouldn't be a meteor fulfilling her wish, but him? He wanted to give her everything she desired.

They chatted casually, and Julian occasionally glanced at his watch. Modern technology had advanced to precisely predict the peak and radiant point of meteor showers.

"This is the best spot to watch," he said. "Aurora, think about what you really want now, because the meteor shower is about to start."

At that, Aurora felt a surge of nervousness. What she truly wanted was for her mother to come back to life, for everything to return to how it used to be. But how could the dead be revived? Other than that, she only wished to avenge her mother and drive people like Genevieve out of the Montgomery family.

It seemed wrong to wish for such things. She looked at the man beside her, a new thought dawning on her.

"Aurora, close your eyes and count down from ten in your mind." Julian's soothing voice rang in her ears, and Aurora obediently closed her eyes.

He stood up, moving in front of her, ready to capture the impending beautiful scene. Nine, eight... Three, two, one.

As she counted down silently, the moment she opened her eyes, the scene before her dazzled her, a sight usually confined to television or photographs.
