Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 480: Fixing His Quirks

With Julian gone, Aurora's life returned to its usual calmness. Although it felt unfamiliar

at first, she quickly adjusted. Her nights were spent studying perfumery, while her days were dedicated to practice in the lab.

Once she became familiar with Denis Vukic, he simply handed her a key to his apartment. Aurora now spent most of her time in the lab, and Asher gradually transformed into a frequent visitor at Denis's place.

At first, the two men couldn't stand each other, but over time, they began to tolerate one another. Their contrasting personalities-Asher's liveliness and Denis Vukic's aloofness-couldn't have been more different.

For example, after work, Asher would either bring a pile of groceries to cook for Aurora or bring takeout from some restaurant.

The first time he did this, Aurora hesitated. "Ashy, you know how much Denis values cleanliness. He probably wouldn't like the house smelling like food."

"What's the big deal? Does he not eat? Worst case, we'll clean up after ourselves," Asher replied casually.

Since Denis's apartment had a fully equipped lab, and Aurora had evening lessons to attend, it saved her the trouble of commuting back and forth.

Now, Aurora spent her days at Denis's apartment. When he wasn't home, she would immerse herself in her research. The lab was stocked with excellent equipment, resources, and precious notes from his earlier experiments, making her work more efficient.

Aurora respected Denis's habits and tried her best not to mess up his space. But Asher was another story. "What's with all these quirks? I'll help him get over them," he'd say smugly.

Denis Vukic was used to a solitary, quiet life. Every evening, after eating dinner outside, he'd drag his weary body back home.

In the past, his apartment was always dark and silent when he returned. But now, the moment he opened the door, he was greeted by warm light.

Denis had always preferred cool tones, even for his lighting. Aurora, unaware of this, had instinctively adjusted the lights to a warm, inviting hue.
