Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 316: Unrivaled Cute Charm Across the World

Aurora did not go to the office all day, instead choosing to stay at the manor to keep Oswaldo company. The elderly man, who was well advanced in years, no longer cared for money or fame; he only wished for his loved ones to be by his side. Seeing Oswaldo's face, lined with wrinkles, relax made her heart warm. Her grandfather was eighty years old, and each day now was less than the one before. Aurora did not know how much longer she could stay by Oswaldo's side, so she cherished the present, seizing everything about these moments together.

"In the evening, let's have Julian over for dinner. I quite like that boy. By the way, is he good to you?" Oswaldo inquired.

"Grandpa, rest assured, he treats me very well, to the core," Aurora responded, her face tinting with a blush, a sign of someone in love, which Oswaldo noticed immediately.

"As long as he is good to you. I also think he's more reliable than that Hayden, despite his difficult background..."

Oswaldo was interrupted before he could finish.

"Grandpa, what are you saying? Julian didn't choose his own birth circumstances, and he doesn't want to be known as an illegitimate child either."

"My silly girl, I wasn't criticizing him; you're already defending him? Don't worry, if I really minded his background, I would never have allowed you two to be together in the first place. I'm not Joaquin; I'm not that old-fashioned. As long as he is good to you, it doesn't matter if he's a commoner or a noble. The Montgomery family may not be among the very top, but we don't need to secure our position through marriage alliances. The true well-being of our children is all that matters," Oswaldo said earnestly, soothing Aurora's concerns.

"Then I'll call him now to invite him over for dinner."

"Go ahead," Oswaldo gestured with a wave of his hand.

Aurora, in high spirits, called Julian. He seemed to be at a coffee shop or a similar establishment. The background filled with melodious music, and Julian's magnetic voice came through: "Hello?"

Before she could reply, a boisterous male voice interrupted, "Who's calling? Let me see, is it my sister-in-law? Is it Aurora?"

"Get lost, Phil! If you grab my phone again, I'll knock you out!" Julian's fierce voice came through, making Aurora laugh despite herself. He had mentioned earlier that he was going to the airport to pick up a cousin-evidently, this Phil.
