章 83: Damien's reputation needs safeguarding

As Aurora and Damien embarked on their journey, her hand remained firmly grasped by his, even inside the car. It seemed either Damien was intentionally holding onto her hand or he had forgotten that they were no longer in the public eye.

Aurora, however, began to feel uncomfortable with their prolonged hand-holding. The situation was so awkward that even their driver couldn't help but steal glances at them through the rearview mirror. Finally, Aurora spoke up, suggesting, "You can let go now, we are out of sight."

Without diverting his gaze from the passing scenery outside the window, Damien responded nonchalantly, "I don't need a reminder." He tightened his grip on her hand, causing her to squirm in discomfort.

Despite her growing annoyance, Aurora attempted to reason, "But..." She was trying to find an excuse to free herself from his grasp. Damien had a knack for getting on her nerves, even when she was trying to maintain her composure.
