Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

When Aurora woke up, it was already half-past eight, earlier than her usual wake-up time. Sometimes, she could sleep until well past ten.

The first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was Julian's handsome face. This was the very scene she had dreamed of countless times in recent days. Reaching out her fair, delicate hand, she gently caressed his face.

"Julian, the moment I fell into the sea, I thought I'd never see you again. I thought I'd never get to touch you like this. Thank God for letting me survive."

Julian placed a tender kiss on her smooth forehead. "From now on, we'll be happy together."

"Mm." Aurora's large, clear eyes were pure and untainted. She had no idea what had transpired behind the scenes. She believed Ivy's actions were merely out of revenge, and as for Mio Walsh, she had no clue about him at all.

To protect Aurora from further harm, Julian had already made up his mind. Instead of waiting passively to be hurt, it was better to take control.

"Julian, let's get up. Everyone else might already be awake," Aurora said, knowing they were heading back today. She didn't want everyone waiting on her just because she was pregnant.

"If you're still tired, you can sleep a little longer. I'm sure they'll understand," Julian said, gently rubbing her cheek.

"It's been so long since I've been home. I miss it. I can sleep more once we're back."

"Alright." Julian held her hand as they got out of bed. Stepping out of the room, they saw Irene sulking, cradled in Nick's arms as he showered her with coaxing affection.

Seeing the usually aloof Mr. Coleman transform into a completely different person around Irene, Aurora couldn't help but marvel at the power of love.

"The air here is so fresh, and at night, you can even hear the chirping of insects. I was sleeping so well, and you just had to wake me up!" Irene complained.

"Be good, Irene. You can sleep more once we're home. Everyone else is already up," Nick said, his tone indulgent.

"If only there were insect chirps, frog calls, and bright stars back home," she muttered.
