Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 211: A Meeting by Design

When Aurora arrived breathlessly at Julian's side, he immediately noticed something was amiss in her expression. "What happened?"

He was familiar with every subtle expression on Aurora's face. A layer of fine sweat covered Aurora's forehead, and despite her calm demeanor, her brows were tightly furrowed. "I can't hide anything from you, let me drink some juice first," she said, lying down on a nearby sofa to rest.

She was drenched in sweat, which wouldn't have been surprising if she had run all the way from the villa. Julian handed her a glass of orange juice, watching as she gulped it down quickly.

"Slow down, it's all yours," he said. Thirsty and no longer concerned with appearances in front of Julian, Aurora quickly finished the juice. As soon as she put the glass down, Julian tenderly wiped the juice from the corner of her lips.

"Can you tell me what happened now?" Julian sat beside her as Aurora got up from the sofa. "Let's sit by the sea," she suggested, needing to stand to see the ocean around them. "Alright," he agreed since they had some time before their meal. They walked hand in hand to the beach.

Aurora sat down on the soft sand and with a strong pull, dragged Julian down with her, rolling together into the sandy heap. "You naughty girl," Julian chuckled, content to lie beside her as the sea breeze blew over them.

The sound of seagulls and waves mingled together, and in the distance, the sunset slowly descended, casting a golden hue across the sky. The beauty of the sunset by the sea was breathtaking, and Julian finally understood why Aurora loved the ocean so much-it was truly beautiful.

Turning to look at the woman beside him, her hair dancing in the wind, he realized she was the most beautiful scene in his eyes.
