Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 367: About Her Secret

Julian was clearly lying. What could be in the box that mattered so much to him? Curiosity is a part of human nature, and the more he didn't want her to know, the more Aurora wanted to find out.

"So it's just miscellaneous items, huh, Julian? You still haven't told me which ones you painted?"

Aurora smiled at him.

"Those over there are my paintings," Julian said, thinking Aurora would no longer be interested in the box. As soon as he turned around, however, Aurora quickly opened it. Inside the large box were papers of various sizes, including sketchbooks and drawing papers.

Aurora casually picked up a sketchbook and flipped it open to a page that depicted herself at about ten years old, with a ponytail, holding an ice cream, and happily bouncing around.

"Is this me?"

Aurora was stunned. She had thought he was hiding some secret, only to discover that she was the secret.

Seeing that Aurora had uncovered his secret, Julian could only confess, "Actually, after we left on that boat years ago, I never stopped thinking about you, waiting for you to grow up. It's no exaggeration to say that you were like a little sun shining into my heart, dispelling the darkness that once enveloped me. You became the only light in my life."

"Before, I lived for revenge. After you appeared, I lived with a new purpose-to stand tall and proud before you one day, to come for you on a white horse and make you my princess. I often watched you from afar, capturing everything about you in these drawings, as if you were always with me."

Listening to him, Aurora crouched on the floor, looking at the entire box of various drawings, where she was always the heroine, and always depicted with a sweet smile.
