Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 145 I’m Destined to Be Your Aunt

Despite having spent years together, she no longer harbored feelings for him, but some sentiments still lingered. The three people present each had their own thoughts. Susan couldn't find the red wine sweet. Instead, it tasted exceptionally bitter to her.

"For Aurora's happiness, I'll toast you again, hoping that Aurora will find her true love soon," Susan said as she picked up her glass again, intending to get Aurora drunk. Aurora had already downed two glasses, and everyone knew her tolerance was low. Hayden intercepted Susan's hand. "Enough. She'll get drunk if she drinks more."

Even now, Hayden's thoughts were still with Aurora, which only irritated Susan further, yet she maintained a polite smile. "Aurora, you wouldn't refuse to drink this glass, would you? After all, it's been years since we last met."

"I'll drink this one for her, for she has already found her true love," a charming male voice intervened, and a handsome hand took the glass from Aurora. Everyone turned to look at him, his well-fitted suit accentuating his perfect build, his starry eyes and arched eyebrows complementing his elegantly thin lips curved into a light smile.

His presence instantly captivated everyone. The man exuded a commanding aura. He pulled Aurora into his arms and gracefully held the wine glass. Seeing his face, Hayden was completely stunned.

"Aurora, he is..." Hayden had thought of everyone in the world, but he didn't guess that Aurora's boyfriend would be him.

"My dear nephew, we might not meet often, but surely you haven't forgotten me, right?" Julian said with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

Susan was well aware of the family dynamics and knew that the person Hayden dreaded most was that illegitimate son of the Alvarez family, who had never shown himself and whose name she had only heard but never associated with a face. Was this their first meeting?

Was Julian actually a member of the Alvarez family, the illegitimate son? Hayden's expression was quite telling.

"Uncle."
