Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 284: I Only Ask You to Let Go

Aurora spent the afternoon watching movies in her room. Without Julian's company,

she always felt a void in her heart. It wasn't until dinnertime approached that she stretched lazily and emerged from her room, while Julian was still intently gazing at his computer in the study.

Choosing not to disturb him, Aurora descended the stairs to take a walk. The villa's surroundings were lush with greenery, and it only took a few minutes to reach the seaside. Despite having moved in a while ago, she had not yet explored the area. After informing Mrs. Hill, she stepped out of the house.

At that moment, the sun was setting, casting the last of its golden light on the beach. Aurora strolled along the shore, basking in the beauty of life. Seagulls abounded, and she bought a bag of bread, around which the birds fluttered eagerly. The sea breeze tousled her long hair, her white dress and red chiffon scarf dancing in the wind.

Her smile caught the attention of many passersby. Hayden, seeing the white figure, found his steps unable to carry him away. Memories of their joyful times together surfaced, her smile as radiant as ever. When crossing the street, she would carefully clutch the corner of his jacket-not out of frailty, but because she had almost been hit by cars several times before, leaving her with a psychological scar from crossing streets. The first time he took her hand and helped her cross, she had looked at him with such a smile.

Although the girl was right before his eyes, Hayden felt as if a vast sea lay between them. He walked towards her step by step, "Aurora."

Her smile froze, "Mr. Alvarez, you must be busy today."

Having just taken over the company, how could he afford such leisure time here? "I didn't want to socialize. I was looking for a quiet place to get some air; I didn't expect to find you here," Hayden replied.

"I'm just out for a walk, too. I'll go back after feeding the seagulls. Congratulations, you finally have what you wanted," Aurora said, her smile blooming beautifully.

But her smile was merely a polite one, signaling distance rather than closeness. "Aurora, what I truly want is you," Hayden's eyes stung from her smile, longing for the happy days they once shared.
