Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 901

Chapter 901: Transferring Schools

Dorian no longer felt the confidence he once had when facing Aveline. Now, all that remained was an overwhelming sense of awkwardness.

For the longest time, he had assumed Aveline came from a modest background, believing that her closeness to Orion was due to money. But the truth struck like a thunderbolt-his family's business was merely a tiny distributor under the Barnet family's vast empire. The disparity between them was far beyond anything he had imagined.

"Aveline, are you leaving?" Dorian asked, his voice strained and unnatural.

"Yes, I'm leaving," she replied calmly. Aveline didn't dislike Dorian. Despite his occasional narcissism, he wasn't an unlikable person overall.

"Aveline, I know you and Orion have been close since childhood, but I want to say this- I really like you."

Aveline didn't expect him to be so persistent. She found it strange. After all, they were only in middle school. How could someone so young truly understand what it meant to like someone? Even though she had spent her entire life with Orion, she wasn't sure if her feelings for him were romantic.

Could someone who had only seen her a handful of times truly understand what "liking" meant?

"My answer is the same as before-I don't like you," she said firmly.

"You don't have to like me. It's enough that I like you," Dorian replied, his tone resolute.

"It's not that I doubt your sincerity, Dorian. I just find it odd. Do you really know what it means to like someone? You've only seen me a few times. You don't even know what kind of person I am in private."

"I may not know you completely, but I know you like white, you enjoy sweets, you prefer quiet places, and you dislike noisy crowds. You like soda water, but you hate flies..."

Aveline was startled. They weren't even in the same class, yet he knew so much about her.
