Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 459

Chapter 459: The Episode

The two parted reluctantly. Aurora and Elina had connected deeply, so much so that Elina, with a hint of sentimentality, thought to herself: if Aurora couldn't become her daughter-in-law, perhaps she could take her as a goddaughter.

"Let's go," Denis Vukic said impatiently. Women were such trouble-standing at the door endlessly, delaying everything.

"Oh, Elina, goodbye."

"Girl, if I miss you, I'll call. You have to answer, okay? Don't ignore me," Elina reminded her seriously.

"Alright, Elina." Aurora's lips curved into a faint smile. It had been such a long time since an elder had shown her this kind of affection.

In truth, Aurora had already called the number on Victoria's business card the day she arrived in this city. But, as she had expected, it wasn't Victoria herself who answered.

Her assistant, Erica, had picked up and promised to pass along the message, saying that Victoria would call her back. From yesterday until today, however, Aurora had waited in vain.

She had long realized that her mother was deliberately distancing herself from her. As Julian had once said, perhaps this was her mother's way of protecting her.

But still, she was her mother. No matter what, Aurora couldn't help but think of her and miss her.

Today, Elina's warmth had offered her a fleeting glimpse of maternal love, filling a void that Aurora hadn't realized could still ache so deeply. It had been so long since she had felt this content.

Even so, her stomach ached terribly now. She suffered from severe gastritis and couldn't eat too much or too little. She usually adhered strictly to a measured diet.

But tonight, Elina's enthusiasm had made it hard for her to refuse the food offered. And somewhere, it had stirred memories of her past, prompting her to eat far more than she should have.

Her stomach began to throb faintly with pain. A fine layer of sweat formed on her forehead, but Aurora, being the strong-willed person she was, didn't say a word to Denis Vukic.
