Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 249: Nick

When Julian mentioned Nick, Irene's expression soured. "Don't bring him up, you know I can't stand him."

"You can't stand him, yet you watched a movie with him?" Julian clearly didn't believe her.

"It was because of him..." Irene almost blurted out the rest but quickly shut herself up, thinking better of it.

"What about him?" Julian asked.

"When did you start caring so much about me? You should spend more time worrying about your own Little Bunny, or she might get snatched away," Irene hinted pointedly. "Anyone trying to snatch her from me would have to see if they're capable first," Julian snorted coldly.

Irene glanced at him and then at Aurora. "Then why are you being so sneaky?"

"It's like this..." Julian recounted the previous events to Irene, who would never have imagined Julian going to such lengths for her if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

"You say you're tired? After all the trouble you went through to win her over, you're still fussing over her like this," Irene mocked, noting that this was quite out of character for Julian.

"It's precisely because she was so hard to get that I value her more. Since you're here too, Irene, why don't you go over there and keep an eye out for Eric's sneaky moves?" Seeing Julian's cautious demeanor, Irene felt a bit helpless but was glad she wasn't new to knowing this man.

She knew all too well how much he had done for that woman over the years.

"Alright, alright, I'll go," Irene conceded. "Jules, I know a good psychiatrist, do you think you should..."

"No need, Irene, I'm not sick!" Julian cut her off abruptly.

"You're even wary of her cousin. If that's not a severe psychological issue, what is?" Irene said seriously.

"Irene, keep talking like that, and you're going to lose me. Quick, that scoundrel is coming over, hurry up!" Julian hastily pushed Irene out.
