Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 362: Wrong is Wrong

Tina spotted the father and daughter from afar, a sight she had once longed to see. Back when she had stayed by Magnus's side, she had eagerly anticipated a family reunion. Regrettably, their reunion took place under such circumstances, where they met but pretended not to recognize each other, leaving Tina feeling helpless.

"Tina, you're here! Come, have a seat," Aurora said as she quickly got up to greet her.

Tina had always wanted to ask her a question. She had considered herself a mother to Aurora, yet had abandoned her for many years. She should have resented her, yet there was no blame, only warmth in her greeting.

"Hmm," Tina responded, her expression still cold.

"What would you like to eat?"

Aurora handed her the menu.

Tina's tastes had changed significantly. Aurora gave the menu back to the waiter.

"Do you like it here?"

"It's nice."

"When I was little, I always wanted to go to the aquarium with my parents, but we never did before mom left. Now, it's finally happening. Although you're not my mom, it still fulfills my wish. Look at those fish, aren't they beautiful?"

Aurora pointed at the fish swimming in the blue water above them, smiling brightly.

The light flickered through the rippling water, casting patterns on the table and their bodies, matching Aurora's radiant smile. Tina's heart softened a bit.

"I'm honored to fulfill this wish for you, Miss Montgomery, Mr. Montgomery. We revised the contract again today; it should be finalized now. I'll be heading back tomorrow," Tina said, hinting at departure.

"No!"

Aurora tightened up at the mention of Tina leaving. She had just found Tina again and couldn't let her leave so soon. Seeing Aurora's strong reaction, Tina asked, "Why not?"

"It's like this, the day you grabbed the knife from Zachary and saved me, I was so grateful, I wanted to have dinner with you," Aurora quickly found an excuse.

"Isn't that why we are here now?"
