Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Julian understood her temperament. The fact that she agreed to spend less tat the company was already a significant change.

"By the way, Julian, there's something I want to discuss with you." "Go ahead." Julian gently stroked her hair, speaking softly. It was rare for the two of them to enjoy moments like this together, and for him, these moments were the most romantic.

"Justin took over the pirate ship under those circumstances. Over the years, he hasn't done anything cruel or immoral. Instead, he's been working hard for the village's development.

You have a lot of resources in your hands, don't you? I'd like you to help him. Would that be okay?" Aurora held his hand as she spoke.

"Not hating him is already my limit, and now you're askingto help him?" Julian frowned. All he wanted was to leave this place early tomorrow morning, sever all ties, and never look back. He wished for no connection with that man, treating the past as nothing more than a dream he shared with Aurora.

"Julian, you don't even know how well Justin has treatedthese days. He's not only been good tobut has also taken great care of our baby.

If it weren't for him, how could I be this healthy now? I don't think he's suited to be a pirate. He could easily take up another profession." Aurora had always been a good judge of character.

"So, you wantto help him make connections?" "Julian, do you know what I was thinking about when I fell into the sea?" Aurora suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" "I was thinking about you. My mind was full of you. I wished I could spend more twith you, and if I ever had the chance, I'd want to do more for you. Even if one day I were to die, you could still..." She didn't get to finish before Julian silenced her with his hand over her lips.

"Don't say such unlucky things. You have to live, live well. Besides, you're carrying the fruit of our love in your belly." Thinking back to that morning, Julian felt a wave of fear wash over him. He had been terrified of pulling Aurora's lifeless body from the water. Not finding her had been a relief-a way to deceive himself into believing she was still alive.

It was this self-deception that had kept him going. And now, Aurora was safe and sound.

"As long as you're alive, that's all that matters. I'll do anything you ask. If you really care so much about him, I'll help him-it's not a big deal." "Julian, letcorrect you. The 'care' I'm talking about isn't the kind of care between a man and a woman," Aurora quickly clarified.

"Yes, yes, it's the kind of care a sister has for her brother, right? You silly bunny, always attracting emotional debts. One Asher wasn't enough; now here comes Justin." Julian had cto terms with it. Since Justin and Asher were similar types of people, it wasn't all bad.

At least they were both upright men who wouldn't take advantage of others and had protected Aurora when it mattered most, sparing her from suffering.

"Julian, you're the best." Aurora beamed and threw herself into his arms.

"If I weren't good to you, you'd have run off with someone else by now. All right, it's late. I'll talk to Justin about this tomorrow. For now, the most important thing is for you and the baby to rest." Julian scooped Aurora up and carried her toward the bathroom.

"Julian, I can do it myself." "When we're at home, I always help you bathe. Especially now-if Justin has been good to you, then I have to be even better." Without giving her a chance to refuse, Julian carried her to the bathtub, started running the water, and began to undress her.

Aurora was only two months pregnant, so her belly didn't show much yet. Julian placed his large hand gently over her abdomen. "Is there really a little life growing in here?" Even now, he still felt it was unreal. Although Aurora had been taking herbal medicine to regulate her body these past months, according to Robert, conceiving wasn't supposed to be this simple.

Aurora wasn't aware of all this. For now, it was enough that she had a baby.

"Of course. Mrs. Woolf is a doctor. Even though I can't feel anything yet, I haven't had my period for two months. I think the baby must have been conceived around the New Year." "Are you feeling any discomfort?" Julian caressed her gently. It was his first tbecoming a father, and the feeling was magical.

"No discomfort, really, just a bit more tired. I feel sleepy all the time, no matter how much I rest. My emotions are harder to control compared to before, and my appetite has increased a little." "Now that you have a little life inside you, of course, you'll feel tired. After the bath, get srest. Tomorrow, we'll go hand have Robert do a thorough checkup." "Okay. Julian, the water's ready. Let's bathe together." They had bathed together before, so there was no need to feel awkward.

But being bare before each other, after so long apart, naturally stirred emotions. In the past, it wouldn't have been an issue, but now that she was pregnant...

Julian looked apologetic. "Little Bunny, I just missed you so much." "I understand, but during the first three months, we can't do anything too vigorous," Aurora said with sdifficulty.

The bathroom of the guest bedroom was connected to the master bedroom. Justin, having just settled the guests, returned to his room to freshen up, only to hear faint noises coming from the bathroom next door.

Even though the sounds were deliberately suppressed, they still reached him occasionally.

Leaning against the bathroom wall, Justin smoked cigarette after cigarette.

Aurora, I've never thought of you as my sister.

Julian was exceedingly careful the entire time. Later, the two of them lay side by side in bed, with Aurora instinctively finding her spot in Julian's arms.

Although the scent of the body wash wasn't what they were used to, the people remained the same. Both felt a rare sense of peace.

"Julian, let's never be apart again, okay?" "Okay. I swear I'll never let you leave again."

Julian thought back to the past month and the kind of life he hadn of life endured He never wanted to live through such days again. Aurora clasped Julian's fingers tightly. For the rest of their lives, they would never part.

As the sun rose, Julian was awake before dawn. He hadn't been sleeping well these past days, not until he found Aurora. Now, watching her peaceful sleeping face, he realized how long it had been since he last saw her looking so serene.

As she had said, she was more tired now, needing more sleep. Julian couldn't bear to wake her and simply lay there, quietly admiring her. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
