Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 423: Tender Moments

Julian stood silently to the side, watching Aurora as she erupted with fury he had never seen before. Even on the night she had been drunk, she only wept quietly.

She had always pretended to be strong, never mentioning the past. But now, all the anger she had buried deep inside finally surfaced in a storm of emotions.

Julian didn't stop her. He understood that emotions bottled up for too long needed an outlet. Everyone needed a way to release their pain.

Ivy, on the other hand, was stunned by Aurora's outburst. Three years ago, Aurora had been quiet and subdued, barely speaking when she was at home.

Now, she was cold and proud, and she had never spoken to them in such a loud and forceful manner. Ivy stood frozen, dumbfounded, only snapping back to her senses

after a long pause.

"Aurora... I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to bring up things that would upset you. I just want us all to be okay.

Even if we aren't destined to be family in this lifetime, we once lived under the same roof for years.

You've endured hardships, but now you're living a happy and fulfilling life. You're still Dad's daughter, and you have a boyfriend like Mr. Barnet.

You have everything. Meanwhile, we're the pitiful ones, cast out by the Montgomery family, living in a motel and eating cheap takeout.

We have no home anymore. I don't want to lose Mom too. Aurora, I'm begging you. Even if it's just out of pity, please help us. It's just a small effort for you, but it means everything to us."

"I'm sorry. If it were anyone else, I might consider it. But since it's you, I won't help. You can leave now," Aurora said coldly, shaking off Ivy's hand and turning to walk back into the house.

"Aurora, do you really hate us that much?!" Ivy's voice trembled as she called out.

Aurora didn't turn back. "Yes. I hate you. I hate you very much."
