Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 870

Chapter 870: Follow Your Heart

After resolving their misunderstanding, Aveline and Orion seemed to return to the carefree days of their childhood. Aveline often shared stories from school with him.

"Are girls naturally this obsessed? Before I realized the new transfer student was you, everyone kept talking about you all day," Aveline said.

"What were they saying?" Orion asked, his tone casual. He had never been concerned with such things. Growing up as a mixed-race child, he was used to drawing attention wherever he went.

From middle school to high school, it didn't matter how many people confessed to him-he ignored them all.

"Oh, just that you're handsome and tall," Aveline replied, her ears ringing from the constant chatter around her.

"And what about you?" Orion asked, his gaze steady.

"What about me?" Aveline looked at him, puzzled.

"Do you think I'm handsome?" Orion asked seriously. He never cared about others' opinions, only hers.

"I've seen your face since we were kids. I'm immune to it by now," Aveline said, though her words didn't entirely match her feelings. Her mind flashed back to the image of Orion playing basketball earlier.

When it was just the two of them practicing, there was no comparison. But in a crowd, he seemed to shine like a beam of light.

After watching him play, all she could see in her mind was the way he dunked the ball. He was undeniably handsome.

"Is that so? Well, I think you're getting prettier in my eyes," Orion said gently. "The red dress you wore yesterday looked great on you."

"You... You noticed what I wore yesterday?" Aveline asked, surprised.

"Of course. Not just yesterday-I remember everything you've worn this week. Even how much your hair has grown, I've noticed."

Aveline suddenly felt inadequate compared to Orion. She hadn't paid nearly as much attention to him as he did to her.
