Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Soon, all the dishes were served. Justin, who had eaten steak before, appeared at ease, but Mrs. Woolf seemed a little uneasy.

"Mrs. Woolf, eat while it's warm, or it'll get cold," Aurora urged gently.

"Um... could you help me cut this meat?" Mrs. Woolf asked, feeling slightly

embarrassed. She could handle cutting beef with a butcher's knife, but she had never eaten in such a formal setting before.

Aurora suddenly realized why Mrs. Woolf had seemed awkward earlier-she probably wasn't used to dining in places like this.

"My apologies, I should have thought of that. Mrs. Woolf, let me teach you. Hold the knife in one hand and the fork in the other, like this. You'll get the hang of it quickly."

Aurora patiently guided her. For Mrs. Woolf, it was the first time she had taken such care to learn something new. Before long, she mastered it and beamed with the joy of a child.

Watching Mrs. Woolf's cheerful smile, Aurora felt a pang of warmth. The people on the ship weren't truly bad people. Even though she knew they were pirates, she couldn't bring herself to hate them.

The meal was pleasant. Perhaps it was because Aurora believed Julian would find her soon, so she wasn't as anxious as before.

She knew that staying positive was good for the baby growing inside her. After the meal, they didn't rush to leave. Instead, they found a hotel to rest in, planning to head to Kestrel the following day.

Justin booked the presidential suite, which had separate rooms. Aurora and Mrs. Woolf shared a bed, while Justin stayed outside.

Since becoming pregnant, Aurora had been more prone to drowsiness and needed daily naps. As soon as they returned to their room, she fell asleep.

Outside, Mrs. Woolf spoke to Justin. "You two are from different worlds. Forced relationships don't last. Justin, maybe it's time to let go?"

Justin glanced at the sleeping figure on the bed, her every movement etched into his memory. "How could I ever let go?"
