Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Carmine looked astonished. "Miss Aurora, you're going to bake it yourself?"

"Yes," Aurora replied.

"Um... do you know how to bake?" Carmine asked, surprised. Ordinary cakes weren't difficult, but since it was a gift, it couldn't just be a simple, plain one. While she had never baked a cake herself, she knew that some types of cakes could be extremely complex and time-consuming.

"I've never baked before, but don't we have a chef at home? I'll just ask him to teach me," Aurora said with confidence.

"Miss Aurora, please don't overexert yourself. Your health should always come first."

"Don't worry. It's just baking a cake-it's no big deal." Aurora thought they were overly concerned about her health. She had always felt fine.

"Alright, it's time to finish work for the day. Miss Aurora, you should head home now," Carmine said. As a personal assistant, Carmine was truly diligent, not only handling Aurora's work efficiently but also caring for her personal life.

"I am a bit tired," Aurora admitted, putting down the documents she had been reviewing. After a full day of reading, her head was spinning.

Ever since becoming pregnant, her energy clearly wasn't what it used to be. She tired easily and had to push herself to focus on work. Even managing to read through a day's worth of materials was a testament to her determination.

"I'll arrange for the driver to take you home today."

"Alright." Aurora only wanted to rest now. She planned to study how to make a strawberry cake after she got some sleep.

When she returned home, she skipped dinner and fell asleep right away. She woke up at nine, ate a late dinner, and then asked the chef to help her learn how to bake.

"Miss Aurora, you want to learn how to bake a cake? There are many different types on the market. Do you know which one you'd like to learn?"

"Hmm, I want something unique and exquisite-it's a gift," Aurora explained her requirements.
