Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 158 No Climbing Over the Wall Tonight

Aurora had just escorted Oswaldo to his room, unaware that a drama was unfolding outside. Once they were alone, Oswaldo took Aurora's hand and said, "Aurora, now that it's just us. Why don't you tell me honestly? Are you with Julian out of true love, or to get back at Hayden?"

"Grandpa, haven't I told you? I love him. It has nothing to do with Hayden," Aurora replied, somewhat helplessly.

"My dear girl, I'm just worried you're on the wrong path. Hayden may have wronged you, but I fear you might ruin your future for the sake of revenge." Oswaldo expressed his concerns, which did not escape Aurora's notice.

Seeing Oswaldo's gray hair, Aurora felt warmth in her heart. In the Montgomery family, perhaps he was the only one who truly considered her future from her perspective.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I wouldn't jeopardize my future for revenge against someone I no longer love. That would only hurt the people who love me. Grandpa, Julian and I have known each other for many years. We are serious," Aurora reassured him.

"As long as you are serious, that's enough for me. I'm old, and there's much I don't know, but what matters most to me is your happiness."

"I know, Grandpa. You should rest now," Aurora soothed her grandfather, noticing his stooped back.

She remembered how strong he looked when she was a child, but time had taken its toll, and his frame had shrunk without her really noticing. The elderly always worry most about their children.

She knew he cared deeply for her, which was why she hadn't told him about her difficult times in the U. S. over the past three years.

Even if she revealed Genevieve's wrongdoings, it wouldn't completely bring her down but would provoke a fierce backlash instead.

Back then, she was like a fledgling eagle just learning to fly, awkward in her attempts, let alone facing sudden storms.

Her silence was her way of biding her time. Now, three years later, the fledgling had become a mighty eagle.
