Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 446: A Man’s Promise

The moment Aurora heard the word "tea," she felt like losing her mind. She had thought that leaving Julian behind would mean escaping that cursed herbal concoction.

Yesterday, when she mentioned she was leaving, Julian hadn't brought up the subject of tea. Aurora had been ecstatic. But now, hearing the word again, her mood sank.

She silently prayed in her heart, "Please, let it be a coincidence. Just regular tea. Not for me. Definitely not my herbal tea. Oh, heavens, please!"

But reality proved her far too naïve. Asher turned around and looked at her suspiciously.

"Your tea. Don't you know?" he asked.

Aurora clutched her chest, her voice trembling. "What... what did you say? Whose tea?"

"Yours, of course. Before you even left your country, your man sent it over. A whole big box of it. He said it was a three-month supply, prepared specially for you. The herbs arrived here long before you did," Asher explained.

If Julian hadn't been so meticulous about Aurora, Asher wouldn't have let her go so easily. He had been taken aback when he first heard about the tea preparation.

"What's wrong with her? Why does she need to consume this stuff? I entrusted her to you, and this is how you treat her?" Asher had been visibly agitated.

"She's fine-just a bit weak. These herbs are for her health. Why are you overreacting? I care about her more than you do," Julian had said firmly.

Although Julian and Asher didn't get along, their concern for Aurora was the same. Only then did Asher manage to calm down. "Weak constitution?"

"Don't you know she has severe cramps every month? That's because of her weak body. These herbs are to help her recover," Julian explained, his tone softening.
