Chapter 909: No One Can Replace You

The two of them strolled together through a foreign land, snowflakes drifting gently from the sky. The festive atmosphere was everywhere.

"Orion, I prepared a Christmas gift for you," Aveline said.

"What kind of gift?" he asked.

"Close your eyes," she instructed.

Orion obediently shut his eyes. A moment later, he felt a soft touch around his neck. When he opened them again, he saw a dark navy scarf wrapped snugly around him.

"Did you make this?"

"Yes, it's my first time knitting, so it's a little ugly. I hope you like it," Aveline said, a bit embarrassed, thinking she might not even have the courage to give it to him.

"Ugly? How could it be? My Aveline is amazing," Orion said with joy. Despite their wealth and status, where luxury was easily within reach, this scarf-hand-knitted by Aveline-meant more to him than anything else.

"As long as you like it," Aveline replied with a shy smile.

"Aveline, the weather is freezing today. Let's go home, and I'll take you out again another time," Orion suggested.

"Alright, I'll listen to you," she agreed willingly. To the outside world, Aveline was icy and aloof, but in front of Orion, she was still the same girl she'd always been.

Orion led her to a Rolls-Royce. To Aveline, the car wasn't particularly extravagant; in her world, luxury cars were as common as clothes.

"Orion, I heard that since coming to England, you haven't relied on your family at all. This car-did you buy it yourself?" she asked.
