Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 267: "Take Me"

Aurora was deeply affected by the incident of her beloved being stolen away. It would have been acceptable if Susan had competed fairly with her. Had she lost then, Aurora could only have blamed her own lack of charm. However, Susan employed despicable methods to snatch Hayden away. Such actions disgusted not only the parties involved but also everyone else, casting a lifelong stain on Susan's character.

Aurora always felt that if something wasn't yours before you took it, it would still bear the mark of its previous owner afterward. Why force difficulties? It would leave everyone unhappy, including herself.

"So, Rory, you think I shouldn't fight for her? But thinking about her rips my heart out day and night, leaving me sleepless. What should I do?" Eric asked.

Perhaps it was the comfortable water temperature or the fact that she was already feeling under the weather, but Aurora felt her head spinning slightly.

She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts, "You just said she already has a boyfriend, which means her heart belongs to someone else. Plus, he loves her. Before, only you were suffering. If you snatch her away, then three people will be miserable."

"Oh?" Eric was curious about her perspective.

Aurora's gaze was distant as she struggled to stay focused.

"Previously, she was happy with her boyfriend. If you take her away, her boyfriend will be the first to suffer. Even if she stays with you, she won't be happy, and even if you have her, how can you truly be happy if she still carries him in her heart?"

Eric pondered her words before responding, "Then how can I win her heart?"

this: if she and her boyfriend truly love each other, nothing you do will tear them apart. A woman will only accept another man when her own boyfriend has hurt her, and there's no chance for them anymore. If you then enter her world and protect her, gradually making her fall for you, that would be the best outcome. That way, you aren't breaking up a relationship and none of you are mired in conflict. Isn't loving someone about making them happy? Silently ensuring her happiness might also be a form of happiness for you. But of course, these are just my thoughts; what
