Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 336: Romantic Proposal

Amelia was aware of Emily's identity but had kept it from Kevin, leaving him with a sense of loss. Eric finally saw through the situation that night when the woman was desperately claiming her best friend had betrayed her, referring to the two of them.

The lady in the white dress seemed tough, and his own companion, a tomboyish woman, hardly a match for someone so cunning. Unsure of his feelings, Eric wrapped his arm around Emily's waist and cheerfully introduced himself, "I'm Emily's boyfriend, Eric Montgomery. You must be friends of my Emily, right?"

His sudden cooperation surprised Emily, especially when he called her name with such a magnetic voice that it almost melted her heart. Amelia and Kevin looked visibly upset; Eric's appearance and stature were far superior to Kevin's.

Especially since Eric mentioned his last name, Montgomery, which connected him to the prestigious Montgomery family, a status far above Kevin's. Amelia's frustration was palpable, having schemed so hard to catch a man who now seemed inferior to Emily's catch.

"Wow, Emily, just a few days apart and you've already found a new boyfriend? You move fast."

"Fast? I think it's slow, certainly slower than you two, dear. Suddenly, I find them quite an eyesore, let's go over there," Emily said, feeling triumphant after her successful jab. Eric, playing the part of a perfect and considerate lover, escorted her away. Although it was just an act, Emily's heart raced with his touch-a sensation she never felt with Kevin, who had always been just a buddy to her.

Behind them, they faintly heard Kevin's voice, "She's a daughter of the Langdon family, you knew that already, didn't you?"

"So what if I knew? You never asked me," Amelia retorted coldly, still upset about Emily finding such a fine man.

As Eric and Emily moved out of sight, he planned to let go of her, but just then, Aurora was spotted nearby. He quickly released Emily, causing her some disappointment, "Is she your girlfriend?"

Eric did not answer but walked towards Aurora, who stood alone without Julian.
