Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 906: How Could I Not Miss Him

On the first day of the new school term, Aveline pushed the door open as she always did. But this time, the person who had always been there was nowhere to be seen.

She took a deep breath-habits were such frightening things.

Orion, I'll get used to it, she thought.

"Aveline."

A familiar male voice rang out beside her ear. Startled, she looked up and was met with a bright, sunny smile.

Kieran jogged over to her, his footsteps light. "My dear Aveline, from now on, I'll be the one picking you up every day."

She froze. Even though she knew Orion had gone to England and couldn't possibly appear, for just a moment, she'd hoped...

When she saw that it was Kieran, her expression shifted instantly-from happiness to cold indifference.

"Aveline, even if it's not Orion, you don't have to look that disappointed. You're hurting my feelings," Kieran teased, pretending to be wounded as he noticed her rapid change in demeanor.

"What are you doing here?" she asked flatly.

"I heard Orion went to study in England, so I'm taking on the responsibility of bringing you to and from school. Aveline, I know you like Maybachs. I had my dad buy a new one just yesterday."

Aveline glanced at the new car parked by the roadside. "You're mistaken. It's not the car I like, but the person sitting inside it."

With that, she turned and climbed into her family's Lincoln.

Kieran wasn't discouraged. "Fine, if you don't want me driving you, how about you drive me instead? I don't mind either way." Without waiting for an invitation, he shamelessly slid into the passenger seat of her car.

Aveline nearly sighed in defeat. Kieran's thick skin was truly unmatched.

From the moment they met, he had always been like this-clinging to her like glue. If he'd been older, she might've understood, but back then, he'd only been a first-grader,
