Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 910: The Enchanting Aveline

The apartment wasn't small by any means for an average person-nearly 200 square meters-but for a family like Aveline and Orion's, it wasn't particularly spacious either. Yet Aveline didn't feel it was cramped; on the contrary, it felt cozy. The interior design followed a Mediterranean style, her favorite.

Orion's taste leaned toward darker tones, and if the decor had been left to him, the apartment would have been shrouded in black. But everything, from the furnishings to the smallest details, reflected Aveline's preferences.

Orion handed her a pair of new slippers. Aveline noticed they matched the ones he wore-couple's slippers. The old pair he had thrown out earlier was just an ordinary design, and thinking of this made her feel a little better.

The slippers on Orion's feet were already slightly worn. These two pairs must have been bought a long time ago, prepared well in advance. Even though he didn't know when she would arrive, he had made sure everything was ready for her.

Just as he had said, from the beginning to the end, there had only ever been one woman in this home-her.

After changing into the slippers, Orion guided her into the apartment. "Look at this light," he said. "I remember this was always your favorite design."

"Orion, you've always known my tastes."

"Come on, Aveline. This is our master bedroom."

The master bedroom was spacious and inviting, with a luxurious European-style round bed in the center, draped with elegant, ornate canopies.

Although Aveline had a cold personality, it didn't mean she lacked a romantic side. She had once sketched a design like this, saying that her future bed would look just like this. She was surprised Orion had remembered, even down to the exact colors.

"This is your walk-in closet," he said, gesturing. "Over there is the study and the gym. Do you like it here, Aveline?"

"Orion, I love it. From now on, this will be our home." How could she ever doubt someone like Orion?

From building everything from scratch to creating such a warm home so quickly, it was no wonder he was always so busy. A wave of gratitude welled up in Aveline's heart.

"I'm glad I worked hard enough," Orion said, his voice tinged with relief. "If you'd come any sooner, I wouldn't have had anything ready for you."

He explained that he had purchased the apartment earlier that year. The location was excellent, though the price had been steep. But knowing how much Aveline would like the area, he had taken out a loan to buy it without using a cent from his family.
