Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 858: Little Orion

Ever since little Orion developed a fondness for Aveline, he would visit Aurora's house every few days. Even though Aveline couldn't speak yet, Orion found her absolutely adorable.

By the end of summer vacation, Orion was over six years old. Following his family's plans, he needed to return to Clothville to attend school.

On the day he was set to leave, Orion bawled his eyes out, clinging to Aurora's house and refusing to go.

"Auntie Aurora, starting tomorrow, I won't be able to see Aveline anymore. What if she starts liking someone else?" he wailed.

Aurora glanced at little Aveline, who was just over nine months old. She could now slowly stand up but still hadn't started speaking.

"Orion, isn't it a bit too early to worry about this? Aveline is still so young; she doesn't even know what liking someone means," Aurora said helplessly. Orion's words often left her both amused and exasperated.

"That may be true, but I won't see her again until winter break. By then, Aveline will probably be walking, right?"

"Mm-hmm. By then, she'll be able to run around with you. But Orion, you have to study hard too, okay?" Aurora said as she ruffled his hair.

"Alright, it's time to say goodbye. We need to leave now," Jade called from the doorway. Orion had spent the last few days at Aurora's house, practically wishing he could take root there.

"Aveline, I'm leaving now. You have to remember me, okay?" Orion gently pinched Aveline's chubby cheek.

If Julian hadn't been standing there, Orion would have probably planted a kiss on little Aveline. Aveline's big, bright eyes stared at Orion. As if sensing he was leaving, her eyes started to well up with tears before she began to cry.

"Aveline, don't cry, don't cry. I'll be back soon," Orion said, his heart breaking at the sight of her tears.

"I thought such a young child wouldn't have any strong feelings, but it seems Aveline likes Orion after all," Aurora said softly, her heart aching a little.

Aveline and Joyce had always been well-behaved. Aveline, in particular, wasn't prone to laughing or crying, and she rarely reacted when Orion came and went. But this time was different.

"Waaah..." Aveline reached out her little arms, wanting Orion to hold her. Orion's heart melted entirely as he quickly picked her up and comforted her.
