Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 253: Is He Angry?

Previously, Aurora didn't mind Julian's possessiveness, considering it simply a

manifestation of his love for her. However, when he started being wary even of his own cousin, Aurora found it difficult to understand. Did he not trust her, or was he just overly cautious? Aurora herself was a person with a high sense of self-esteem.

In her view, Julian's following her was a sign of disrespect, an indication that he doubted her fidelity. Aurora had never quarreled with Julian before, nor had she experienced arguments with others. When she was with Hayden, he never showed any anger towards her.

Back then, the school environment was more relaxed, and there weren't such complexities. Hayden had a good temper, and they never had any disputes.

This was the first time Aurora got angry with Julian. With a cold face, she said, "I'm a bit tired, I'm going to sleep first." She wanted to calm down before she said something hurtful in her anger.

Julian stretched out his hand, trying to hold her back, but seeing her walk away, he probably realized that nothing he said would make a difference at that moment. He watched Aurora slowly ascend the stairs, frustratedly tugging at his tie and irritably lighting a cigarette.

He really wanted to love her properly, but how did he mess things up? He dialed a number, and Rocky's voice came through, "President, what can I do for you?"

"How's the investigation on Eric going?" Julian exhaled a plume of smoke deeply. "President, it's quite complicated, and a day might not be enough," Rocky had been running around all day and still hadn't fully figured it out.

Julian knew there had to be something intriguing when things got complicated; his instincts were usually right. "What kind of complicated?" he asked coldly.

Rocky could sense the unusual irritation in Julian's voice. "I found out that Eric and the Montgomery family aren't close at all. I thought it was strange, so I investigated further. It turns out that over twenty years ago, Paul's child died in the hospital, and to spare his wife the heartache, he found another baby to replace him. This baby is now known as Eric, and I can confirm he is not a member of the Montgomery family, but his true identity is still under investigation. The case is quite old with few leads, so I can't provide precise information right now," Rocky was very meticulous.

Julian stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. Knowing this much made things easier; Eric wasn't Aurora's cousin after all. He had approached Aurora as a man from the start, and since she was focused on securing a business deal, she overlooked many things. She saw Eric as her cousin, not considering any romantic implications, which wasn't her fault.
