Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 913: Public Opinion

Aveline watched as Amy left reluctantly. Orion's expression remained indifferent,

making her realize that Amy wasn't as special to him as she had once thought. She had assumed Amy held a unique place in his heart, but it seemed she was mistaken.

"What's on your mind?" Orion asked, noticing Aveline lost in thought. He was curious about what had captivated her so deeply.

"Orion, if I hadn't come into your life, would you have fallen in love with Amy?" Aveline's sudden question left him momentarily puzzled.

"Why would you ask that? You know you've always been the only one in my heart, with or without Amy in the picture."

"No reason. It just crossed my mind. Amy seems capable, doesn't she?" Aveline remarked. After all, anyone who could be Orion's assistant must be impressive.

Orion reached out to ruffle her hair affectionately. "Don't let your imagination run wild. She's competent, yes, but she's just my friend and assistant. There's nothing more to it. I don't and won't feel anything beyond friendship for her."

Hearing his words, Aveline's heart warmed. This was exactly the kind of love she had always wished for.
