Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 424: Were You Waiting For Me

Julian didn't prepare anything complicated-just a fruit salad and two bowls of spaghetti.

It was simple and quick, with ready-made ingredients.

"Julian, is it ready yet?" Aurora peeked into the kitchen every five minutes.

"Almost. But Little Bunny, you need to drink this tea first." Julian, ever the doting figure, even went out of his way to reheat the tea for her.

"Not again!" Aurora's previously bright smile instantly fell. For some reason, she had a sinking feeling that even if the world were ending, Julian would insist she drink her tea before anything else.

For example, during their trip to the island, Aurora had been completely captivated by the scenery. She had just started to enjoy the fresh sea breeze when, out of nowhere, the familiar herbal scent wafted toward her.

Julian appeared, holding a cup of tea. Aurora had been exasperated but helpless. He had rushed off to the island yet still remembered to pack all those herbs.

But wasn't this his way of showing care? If he didn't hold her so dearly in his heart, how could he go to such lengths?

"I made you a fruit salad. Drink the tea first, and it won't taste so bitter." Julian always had a way of coaxing her.

Aurora knew he was doing it for her own good, and deep down, she enjoyed the feeling of being cherished and pampered by him.

She used to believe she could handle everything on her own, but after experiencing his care, she realized how wonderful it felt to be loved.

"Okay." Aurora finally drank the tea.

This time, Julian's spaghetti was fairly safe. He had followed the recipe to the letter and watched Aurora eat with bated breath.

"How is it? Does it taste good?"

"It's delicious! Really good." Aurora gave him glowing praise. Only then did Julian relax and try it himself. It wasn't bad-at least there was nothing strange about it.

The meal ended on a satisfying note. As Julian noticed Aurora was still wearing the clothes she'd come home in, he asked, "Are you planning to go out again later?"
