Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 481: She Was Determined to Clear Her Name

Laughter filled the room as Aurora climbed off the bed, glancing at the feathers scattered across the bed and floor.

"Ashy, you started this war, so the room is yours to clean," she said, a playful grin on her face.

"You can't do this to me, little fox."

"We need to start studying, so during that time, the room is all yours to handle." Aurora patted him on the shoulder. Asher's face twisted into a pained expression. What had he done to deserve this?

Denis Vukic's lips curved into a faint smile, as delicate and elegant as a lotus in bloom.

From that day on, Asher began coming and going freely from Denis Vukic's apartment. Denis no longer dined out because Aurora cooked different dishes for them daily. Although her cooking wasn't on par with Michelin-starred restaurants, it had an irreplaceable charm. Every time, Julian would glare furiously in their video calls. He hadn't had many chances to taste meals personally cooked by Little Bunny, yet these two were enjoying her food so freely.

At mealtimes, Asher would purposely call Julian on video, forcing him to watch as he ate. Over time, the old tensions between Denis Vukic and Julian began to dissolve.

As winter deepened, Aurora's talent for perfumery became unmistakable. With Denis Vukic as her mentor, she quickly mastered the properties of various fragrances and how best to combine them.

Of course, her progress was also due to her diligence. When Asher and Denis went to work, Aurora spent her time memorizing the characteristics, scents, and best pairings of different ingredients.

Perfumery was like painting-every combination, every measurement required the experience of the perfumer. Aurora diligently earned her perfumer's certification.
