Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Aurora felt a warmth in her heart at his gentle words. "Thank you," she said softly. She too hoped to have adorable children one day.

Today was his birthday, and everyone who came was there to celebrate him, eager to catch a glimpse of this young master. Yet, he was nowhere to be seen in the grand hall.

The party had been arranged specifically for Aurora. From the beginning, all Julian wanted was her company. The two of them ended up talking the entire evening in the garden.

Aurora found it odd. Why was it that she never had so much to say when with others, yet with him, she could talk endlessly? Was there some kind of magic about him?

When she finally checked the time, it was nearly ten o'clock. She realized they had been sitting there for over two hours. "I'm so sorry, I completely lost track of time. You should go and entertain your other guests," Aurora said, quickly standing up.

Julian looked at her flustered expression with amusement. She hadn't yet realized that all he wanted was to talk to her. "And what about you?" he asked.

"I need to go home and sleep. Pregnant women need plenty of rest," Aurora replied with a hint of helplessness. After spending the evening talking to Julian, she now considered him a good friend.

"I'll drive you home," Julian said as he stood up. Despite knowing she had someone to pick her up, he simply wanted to be the one to take her.

"No, no, my driver will take me. You've already spent so much time talking to me; I can't take up any more of your evening. You should go back to your guests," Aurora said hurriedly, waving her hands in protest.

"I'm the birthday boy, so I get to decide. Let's go," Julian said firmly, leaving no room for argument.

"But you have so many guests. How can you leave them just to take me home? I've already taken up too much of your time tonight," Aurora said, feeling uneasy.

If Julian had any romantic intentions toward her, he hadn't shown it, even after learning she was pregnant. After all, who would be interested in a pregnant woman-especially one with no makeup?
