Chapter 474: Julian, I’m Hungry

For two hours straight, Denis Vukic did nothing else but patiently explain things to her. Aurora had brought along a notebook and was taking notes more seriously than she ever had in school.

When the clock struck ten, Denis stopped. "Alright, you can leave now."

Aurora, feeling she had learned a lot, bowed deeply in gratitude. "Thank you, Mr. Vukic. I'll come back at the same time tomorrow."

"Alright."

Their interaction was limited to discussing perfumery-just as Aurora wanted. She preferred to avoid any unnecessary complications.

Meanwhile, for Julian, those two hours felt like an eternity. Asher, sitting with his legs crossed and a smirk on his face, teased him. "You're pretty calm, aren't you? Letting her go like that, alone with another man. Aren't you worried something might happen?" Julian shot him a look and retorted, "If it were you, would you have stopped her?"

Asher fell silent. He wouldn't have. Like Julian, he would have made the same choice. Both of them cared for Aurora in the same way-wanting only for her to do what she desired.

The two chatted idly, discovering they shared similar thoughts on many things.

Just then, Aurora returned. "You two seem to be having a great time," she remarked as she opened the door, spotting them each with a glass of red wine, clearly having been drinking for a while.

"Come here," Julian commanded as soon as he saw her, his tone firm and possessive. Aurora changed her shoes and walked over.

As soon as she was within arm's reach, Julian pulled her tightly into his arms.

Asher set his wine glass down. "Hey, hey, what's going on here? I'm still here, you know. How about a little respect?"

"You know you're unnecessary here. You can leave now," Julian said bluntly.
