Chapter 871: Sleepless Night

For the first time, Aveline, who usually fell asleep quickly after lying down, found herself wide awake. Her mind was filled with the events of the day. That night, she had a dream-Orion kissed her sweetly. To her surprise, she didn't find it unpleasant; in fact, she quite liked the feeling.

"Aveline, come down for breakfast," Aurora's voice called from outside the door.

Aveline jolted upright in bed. What kind of dream did she just have?

"Coming, Mommy," she replied quickly.

"Orion is already here. Come down when you're ready," Aurora added, wondering why Aveline, who never stayed in bed late, was taking so long to get up.

Hearing Orion's name made Aveline's cheeks flush. "Okay."

After a quick wash, she decided to do something different with her hair. Instead of her usual ponytail, she carefully braided it with a newfound excitement.

Standing in front of her wardrobe, Aveline tried on several outfits, dissatisfied with each one. This was unusual for her and undeniably a sign that she was starting to care about how Orion saw her.

What normally took her ten minutes to get ready now stretched into half an hour.

"Aveline, you're so slow! Orion's been waiting for ages," Nash teased as soon as he saw her.

"Wow, Aveline, you look so pretty today! Did you wear that dress because you're going on a date with Orion?" Nash commented through a mouthful of sandwich.

Embarrassed by Nash's blunt words, Aveline's face turned crimson. "Don't talk while eating," she said, flustered.

"Aveline, you're blushing!" Nash clapped his hands in delight.

Aurora and Julian exchanged knowing glances. Clearly, their usually aloof daughter was starting to feel something for Orion.

As for Aveline and Orion's budding relationship, neither Aurora nor Julian intended to interfere. They had watched Orion grow up and trusted his character completely.
