Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 880: The Male Fly and the Female Fly

The next morning, Orion arrived early to pick up Aveline for school. Aurora, dressed in a sharp suit, was getting ready to head to the company with Julian.

Julian had recently acquired Aurora's company, and now the two worked together in the same place. This arrangement allowed Julian to see Aurora every day, fulfilling his deep longing for her presence.

"Mr. and Mrs. Barnet, I'm here to pick up Aveline for school," Orion greeted politely.

Both Aurora and Julian pretended not to notice the growing closeness between Orion and Aveline.

"We'll leave Aveline in your care," Julian replied.

"It's my duty," Orion said with a bright smile.

"Aveline is still getting dressed," Julian said deliberately. "She used to be quick with washing up, but today she's already tried on several outfits and still isn't satisfied. I guess it's the teenage years kicking in."

Julian's subtle observation hinted at a deeper truth. When girls start paying attention to their appearance, it often means they're beginning to grow into young women- perhaps because they've found someone worth dressing up for.

"No problem, we've got time. I'll wait. Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Barnet."

"You can wait in the living room. Who knows how long she'll be?"

"Alright."

As Julian and Aurora left, Orion watched their harmonious figures disappear. Ever since he'd met Julian and Aurora, their relationship had always seemed perfect.

The two never appeared to argue. Even when there were small disagreements, Julian would be the first to compromise. It was as if they couldn't even find a reason to fight. Their relationship was sweeter and more affectionate than many younger couples, reminding Orion of his own parents.

After waiting for about five minutes, Aveline finally came downstairs. Her hair was braided, and she wore an off-shoulder dress that accentuated her long neck and delicate collarbones. Two small flower clips adorned her styled hair.
