Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 379: Mysterious Visitor

When Aurora was awoken again, it was by the ringtone of her phone. She answered the call, her voice still soft with the remnants of sleep.

"Hello."

"Aurora, where are you? Your mom is almost home," Magnus reminded her, snapping Aurora out of her daze.

"I'll be right there, Dad. Just wait for me," Aurora said as she sat up in bed.

"No rush, take your time," Magnus replied, knowing that Aurora had taken the week off for something important, and he was very understanding.

Aurora put down her phone, and Julian, awakened by her movements, asked, "Little Bunny, are you leaving?"

"Yes, Julian, I'll come back tonight," Aurora replied, dropping a kiss on his lips as was their custom when parting.

"Drive safely," Julian said, holding the back of her head for a deep kiss before letting her go. Their passionate display was painfully glaring to Hayden and Susan.

It wasn't that they were trying to provoke anyone; this was just how they normally interacted at home.

Julian, now fully awake, got out of bed to smooth Aurora's skirt before she left the house.

Susan watched Aurora leave, envy filling her eyes. Why couldn't Hayden be like Julian with her?

Even if not to the same extent, even half of Julian's attentiveness would be something. She was a daughter of the Simmons family; what couldn't she have?

Yet, all she truly desired was Hayden's love. Would she ever get it in her lifetime? Deep doubts clouded Susan's mind.

Once Aurora left, Julian reverted to his usual aloof demeanor, showing no interest in engaging with Susan and Hayden. He finished the last document and had Rocky take it away.

"Sir, are you sure you want to keep working from the hospital recently?" Rocky asked, somewhat helplessly. Who else's boss made a hospital their home?

"For now, yes. I'll attend the important meetings, and you can bring the contract documents to me in advance," Julian was prepared for a prolonged battle with Hayden.
