Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 903: The New School

Aveline and Orion chose a quieter path, avoiding the crowds.

"Our last visit was too short. I didn't get the chance to show you around properly," Orion said, holding Aveline's hand. This area was known as the Osmanthus Garden, a sprawling expanse filled with the sweet scent of osmanthus blossoms.

"Why didn't we stick with Mom and the others?" Aveline asked.

"Do you really think your dad would enjoy us playing the third wheel?" Orion chuckled softly.

"That's true. My dad may look mature, but he can be ridiculously childish sometimes. He and Mom are so lovey-dovey. If I'd known, I would've brought Nash along."

"Foolish girl," Orion teased, gently brushing her nose. "You want Nash to be our third wheel?"

Aveline's cheeks flushed. "Why not? What are you planning to do?"

"Something not suitable for children," Orion said with a mischievous grin as he lifted her chin and kissed her.

Aveline's thoughts raced. Her family wasn't far away. If Joyce, the family's loudmouth, saw them, the whole household would know within minutes.

"Orion, stop... If Mom and Dad see us, it'll be bad," Aveline managed to push him away, though she secretly loved the way his kisses made her feel.

"Relax, your mom and dad are on another path."

"And what about Joyce? She's like a wild monkey, running everywhere."

"I deliberately chose this quiet trail. They won't find us. Trust me."

The autumn breeze carried a hint of melancholy as Aveline leaned into Orion's warm embrace. His scent and the heat of his body surrounded her.

In that moment, she finally understood why her dad loved kissing her mom so much. It was as if the whole world turned sweeter with just one kiss.

The group spent two days in Blossom Valley before leaving. Asher was tasked with taking Joyce back to school.

At the airport, Aurora and her family drew everyone's attention as they arrived. Julian ruffled Joyce's hair and said gently, "Be good and don't trouble Uncle Asher."
