Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 902: You Can Only Kiss Someone You Love

Joyce rarely returned home, so the family decided to take a few days off and bring her to Blossom Valley for a vacation. The last time Aveline visited, it was summer; now it was autumn, and the flowers would be different.

This time, with Julian and the others around, Aveline couldn't share a room with Orion. Instead, Joyce, Aveline, and little Nash stayed together in one room.

As soon as they reached the scenic area, Joyce ran off excitedly. "So this is Blossom Valley-how beautiful! Mommy, Daddy, I'm going over there to take a look!"

"Be careful," Aurora said, holding little Nash's hand. Compared to Joyce, Nash was now the one they worried about the most. Even though the park had been cleared for their visit, there was always the possibility of danger.

Asher watched Joyce dart off like a butterfly. "Forget it. I don't feel comfortable letting her run around on her own. I'll go after her."

"Thank you, Ashy." Aurora smiled apologetically. Over the years, Asher had taken great care of Joyce.

"Don't mention it." Asher was already walking away as he spoke. Joyce had always been a free spirit. When she was younger, she had nearly gotten lost several times, leaving him with a lingering fear. Ever since then, Asher had made it a point to keep a close eye on her wherever they went.

"Asher has really done a great job looking after Joyce. She seems to adore him," Julian remarked, watching their retreating figures.

"In two years, Joyce will be in high school. Whether she studies in Clothville or abroad, she'll likely live on campus. Time flies-it's been twelve years already. Ashy's thirty-four this year. If he doesn't settle down soon, it'll be too late."

Aurora had been worried about Asher's love life ever since he was in his twenties. Now, all these years later, he was still single, and her concern had only grown.

Though Asher insisted his situation had nothing to do with Joyce, Aurora couldn't help but think otherwise. A single man raising a child was bound to make potential partners hesitate.

"You're right. But don't worry-given Asher's qualities, if he wanted to find someone, he could do it in no time," Julian reassured her.

"Finding women isn't the problem. The key is finding someone he truly loves. Do you think there's something wrong with him? He used to say it was because of me, but that was years ago. He's clearly moved on, so why hasn't he started a new relationship?"
