Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 515: A Warm Home

Aurora had just returned when she saw Mrs. Hill standing outside with a snow shovel in her hands. Judging by her demeanor, she didn't look like she was about to clear snow but rather as if she was ready to confront someone.

"Mrs. Hill, what are you doing?" Aurora asked, her face full of suspicion.

"Miss, what did that scumbag want you to do at his villa? Let me tell you, a good horse never goes back to graze on old grass! Mr. Barnet treats you so well. That scumbag just got divorced and now he's pestering you again-it's obvious he's up to no good. You mustn't fall for his tricks!" Mrs. Hill said in a worldly, experienced tone.

Aurora couldn't help but feel that if she didn't explain herself soon, Mrs. Hill might actually use that shovel on her.

"Mrs. Hill, you misunderstood. Hayden called me earlier-he's sick and was home alone, I went over to check on him. I already called his mother to come take care of him. Don't worry, there's no way I'd ever get back together with him," Aurora explained with a cough.

"Good, as long as you won't take him back. Miss, you have to think it through. Mr. Barnet is a hundred times better than that scumbag. Don't let him confuse your heart," Mrs. Hill advised earnestly.

"Yes, I know. I'm going inside now; it's freezing out here." Aurora, dressed in nothing but a cozy oversized sweater, shivered from the cold.

The house was warm and toasty thanks to the heating, but stepping back inside after being out in the cold made her realize just how chilly it was. Mrs. Hill promptly ushered her inside.

Once in her room, Aurora couldn't help but reflect on Hayden's intentions. She knew he wanted to reconcile, but whether Julian was in the picture or not, she could never go back to Hayden. Someone who had hurt her so deeply once could never piece her heart back together.

That afternoon, Mary-Hayden's mother-called Aurora again. She claimed she was busy with something important and asked Aurora if she could look after Hayden for a while. Aurora agreed, but as soon as she hung up, she found the request odd. Mary, who always prioritized her son above all else, suddenly had something urgent to attend to? Aurora quickly realized what was going on. Mary was trying to play matchmaker. Hanging up the phone, Mary turned to Hayden with a satisfied smile and said, "She agreed to come over, so stop sulking. I'll leave now."

"Alright," Hayden replied, his mood lifting visibly. He couldn't wait to see her again.

Hayden heard footsteps approaching the house. His heart leapt with joy-until a loud voice rang
