Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Julian believed her words without hesitation. "Yes, this time last year, I was still in despair. Back then, I truly had no idea when I'd see you again in this lifetime."

"Julian, can we not go back yet? Let's stay here for a few more days, alright?" Aurora asked, knowing that a separation was inevitable. She didn't even know when they would meet again. Right now, all she wanted was to spend as much time with Julian as possible, even if it was just a little longer.

"Of course! I had already planned to spend more time with you. As long as you're happy, I'll do anything," Julian replied without a second thought.

The kinder Julian was to her, the heavier Aurora's guilt became. Aside from Tina, Julian was the person who treated her best in this world. Tina had given her life, raised her, and sacrificed so much for her. But Julian-he was someone she could only let down.

"Julian, we haven't taken our wedding photos yet. Why don't we do it tomorrow? If we wait a few months, my belly will be too big to take them," Aurora said suddenly. She just wanted to do something meaningful before leaving.

"How could I forget such an important thing as wedding photos? Luckily, you reminded me. Let's do it tomorrow," Julian agreed, his mood lifting at the mention of anything related to their wedding.

"Alright, then you handle the arrangements. Let's do it tomorrow," Aurora said.

"Won't tomorrow be a bit rushed? Shouldn't we finalize the style and location first? Don't worry. I have plenty of time to spend with you. We can shoot anywhere you want, even in another country," Julian said warmly, spoiling her as always. It was as if he would take her to every country in the world to shoot wedding photos if she asked.

"I've already looked up the style online. There's no need to complicate things by going abroad. Just make the appointment, and we'll go tomorrow," Aurora said, knowing time was tight and speed was of the essence.

"Alright, everything will be as you wish," Julian said with a gentle smile. He had waited years for this moment, to finally marry his "Little Bunny." Now, the dream was about to come true. How could he not be happy?
