Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

When Mrs. Woolf asked if Aurora found him unpleasant, Justin quickly responded,

"Not at all. She was just startled when she first woke up and saw me. I was wondering if my appearance had frightened her, but she soon apologized. She's very polite."

He hurried to explain, fearing Mrs. Woolf might misunderstand Aurora as someone shallow who judges by appearance.

"I didn't say anything about her," Mrs. Woolf replied bluntly. "Why are you so nervous? Frankly, from a young girl's perspective, you are quite intimidating."

"Then she probably won't like me," Justin muttered in frustration.

"You've been stuck on a ship with a bunch of rugged men for too long. Of course, you've grown rough like them. Have you even looked at yourself lately? Your beard and hair are as wild as an overgrown forest. And that outfit-what young lady would find it appealing? Honestly, it's probably only Lana, who grew up with you, who would still be devoted to you."

Justin rarely spent time on land. Surrounded by men day in and day out, who cared about appearances?

"From the looks of it, that young lady wears expensive clothing. Her fiancé is probably the refined, gentlemanly type. If you want to catch her attention, you'd better start by fixing your appearance."

"Alright, I got it," Justin said, his confidence suddenly restored as he headed back inside.

Mrs. Woolf watched him disappear into the house and shook her head with a sigh. Was this fate or just trouble?

Meanwhile, Aurora was still immersed in the joy of discovering she was expecting a baby. She couldn't wait to share the news with Julian.
