Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 458

Chapter 458: A Mother’s Tenderness

It seemed Mino hadn't lied-Lockman truly had no intention of taking on apprentices. He was the type of person who always felt there wasn't enough time for his research, let alone mentoring someone who could potentially slow him down. He was busy, and there was no helping it. Aurora, who never liked forcing anyone, simply nodded. "Well, there's nothing that can be done. You must be very busy these days."

Denis Vukic noticed the look of disappointment on her face. He didn't know why, but seeing her so despondent made him feel uncomfortable. He much preferred her smiling.

"Do you really want to learn?" he asked.

"Yes. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dropped everything to fly here. But if Professor Lockman doesn't have the time, then I suppose it can't be helped." Aurora shrugged helplessly. After all, the world didn't revolve around her.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you," Denis Vukic said calmly.

"You?" Aurora looked up at him in surprise. He was the CEO of a publicly listed company and had flown planes before-but making perfume? Could he really know how to do that?

Even Lockman was astonished when he heard Denis's offer. "Denny, you hate those-"

Denis ignored him, his gaze fixed on Aurora. "I'm asking you. If I teach you, will you learn or not?"

Aurora hesitated. Since he and Lockman were family, there was a chance he was skilled at perfumery. She nodded. "Alright, I'll learn."

Only then did Denis's expression relax. That moment when he saw her so downcast earlier-it had left him unsettled. If no one taught her, would she just leave immediately and return to that man? The thought of never seeing her face again spurred him to make the offer without a second thought.

Aurora couldn't understand why Denis's suggestion to teach her had surprised both Elina and Lockman so much. Their expressions made it clear they hadn't expected him to do such a thing.
