Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 375: A Duel of Wits

The sight of Julian scrubbing Hayden's body was undeniably strange. Once the words were spoken, Hayden could no longer refuse.

Aurora didn't overthink it and assisted nearby, while the Alvarez family members who had come to visit soon left, leaving only Susan behind.

"Aurora, I'm here, and doesn't your company need you? I'll have Rocky take you over," Julian offered considerately.

Aurora remembered that she still had to arrange for a new manager at the company today.

"Okay, Julian, I'll come and take over for you in a bit," she agreed without refusal.

Her plan was to handle the company matters and then come back early to relieve Julian.

"Alright, remember to have breakfast."

"Mm," Aurora hurried off.

With Aurora gone, only Julian and Susan remained with Hayden. As soon as she left, Susan felt much more at ease.

"I want some soup; go home and prepare some," Hayden, tired of seeing Susan's face, found an excuse to send her away.

Delighted, Susan responded, "Okay, I'll go get the ingredients right away."

Once Susan left, only the uncle and nephew remained. Julian stood by the window and lit a cigarette.

"You're not really planning to take care of me indefinitely, are you?" Hayden asked.

"That depends on you. The moment you give up, I'll leave," Julian said slowly, exhaling a cloud of smoke that shrouded his face.

"What if I say I'll never give up?"

"Then I'll stick with you to the end," Julian leaned against the window, bathed in the early morning sun.
