Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 457

Chapter 457: Girlfriend

Denis Vukic parked the car outside the villa. Aurora followed him out, her eyes catching the green vines winding along the villa's walls, dotted with small blossoms.

Her heart began to race nervously. What kind of person would Professor Lockman be? What if things didn't go as planned?

The door opened, and a housemaid appeared. Before Aurora could react, Denis grabbed her hand and led her inside with commanding ease.

A middle-aged woman emerged from the living room, her face lighting up the moment she saw Denis.

"Denny, you're back! Why didn't you call ahead? I could've made your favorite burgers. And... who's she?" The woman's cheerful tone faltered as she noticed Aurora standing beside him.

Aurora froze at the word "Mom." She studied the elegant woman carefully. The resemblance to Denis was undeniable.

So, this was Denis's mother. Which meant Professor Lockman was probably his father. No wonder Mino said his word carried weight-how could a father ignore his own son? But despite returning home, Denis showed no trace of joy. His face remained impassive, his lips pressed into a tight line.

"Where is he?"

"Your father...," the woman began, her smile unwavering, clearly delighted by Denis's presence.

"How many times do I have to tell you? He's not my father. My father is dead." Denis's cold words cut through the air, and in that moment, Aurora understood. Every family had its own struggles, and this one was no exception.

Perhaps this strained family dynamic was what made Denis so distant and cold. Aurora suddenly felt awkward for being caught in the middle of it all.

"Why are you so harsh? You'll scare the poor girl away. Come, my dear, have a seat." His mother's gentle demeanor reminded Aurora of Victoria, warm and inviting. She took Aurora's hand and led her into the living room.
