Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 428: The Child

The night had been tender. When the first rays of sunlight filtered through the window, Aurora stretched an arm out from under the blanket. Her skin was as fair and smooth as a piece of exquisite white jade.

The autumn breeze slipped in through the curtains, bringing a sudden chill that made Aurora open her eyes. She quickly pulled her arm back under the covers.

That small movement was enough to wake Julian. His eyes met her delicate face, and he leaned in to place a kiss on her smooth forehead. "Good morning, Little Bunny," he said softly.

"Good morning, Julian." Aurora nestled her head against his chest, still reeling from the passion of the previous night. She didn't exactly want to recall it, but the memory lingered in her body.

"What's making you smile so much?" Julian asked, noticing the faint curve of her lips. Her happiness seemed to warm his entire day.

"I was just thinking... when will I have a baby?" Aurora's gaze drifted to her flat stomach. Alison was already pregnant, so surely it wouldn't be long for her either. Whenever the topic of children came up, Julian's expression always darkened. Before learning about Aurora's condition, he had been just as eager for a child as she was. But not long ago, he discovered that Aurora's body had complications. While he felt regretful, he didn't dare tell her the truth, fearing the devastating blow it might deliver. "Why the sudden hurry to have a baby?" Julian asked, gently stroking her hair.

"Didn't you used to want one even more than I did?" Aurora smiled brightly. "Julian, my revenge is complete, the company is on track, and now I can spend the rest of my days with you."

She spoke with such joy. She even loved the island Julian had bought for her. "Julian, I've already decided-when I get pregnant, I'll go to the island to rest and take care of myself. Don't you agree, Biscuit?"

Aurora reached out to stroke the sleepy Biscuit, who was curled up near her pillow. The little cat let out a soft meow without even opening its eyes, as if responding to her words.

"See? Even Biscuit agrees!"
