Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 877 – The Cunning Little Devil

Joyce was the most gossip-loving person, and witnessing this scene now was something she would never let go of.

"Orion, you're pretty quick, huh? So fast to win over my Aveline? Does this mean you're going to be my brother-in-law? Oh my, you're even wearing matching pajamas! That's just too sweet!" Joyce clasped her hands under her chin, twirling around in delight. "I have to tell Mom and Dad about this right away!"

In the hearts of both families, Orion and Aveline had already been considered son-in- law and daughter-in-law.

Jade, who only had one son, Orion, had always adored Aveline. When Aveline was a child, Jade would buy any cute little dresses she came across. The family meals were always tailored to Aveline's preferences, and she would purchase jewelry for her even though Aveline was too young to use it.

Aurora and Julian also deeply appreciated Orion for his loyalty and dedication. They already saw him as part of the family, trusting him completely with Aveline.

"Joyce, it's not what you think," Aveline quickly tried to explain. If this

misunderstanding spread through Joyce's big mouth, who knew what kind of wild story it would turn into?

"If it's not what I think, then what is it?" Joyce's wide eyes darted between the two of them.

Aveline wanted to explain but didn't know where to start. Joyce had such an overactive imagination-one sentence from Aveline could spiral into ten different scenarios in her

mind.

"Joyce, Aveline and I are staying together because this is the only stargazing room." "You don't need to explain, I understand everything," Joyce said with a sly grin. "But Aveline is still young, so you better take it easy."

Aveline's face darkened. "I already said it's not what you think, Joyce."

"If it's not what I think, then what is it?" Joyce asked again, her mischievous expression unwavering.

"I can't explain it to you. Just don't spread nonsense, or I'll rip that mouth of yours to shreds," Aveline threatened icily.

"Aveline, you're so fierce! Alright, alright, I won't interrupt your little love nest anymore. La la la, throwing flowers! Congratulations, Orion, for achieving your dream-our cold- hearted Aveline has finally opened up!"

The scene ended with Joyce's laughter.
