Peter's face reddened slightly, but he didn't back down. "Yeah. She's kind. She's not someone who deserves to be hurt."
Aurora smiled knowingly. "Ah, I see. You think she's your 'savior,' don't you? That's why you can't even consider hurting her."
Peter immediately froze, his face paling. "Wha—What are you saying?"
Aurora let out a soft chuckle. "Oh, Peter. I didn't realize you had such strong feelings for her." She could see his discomfort, and she found it a little amusing.
Peter's face darkened further, his jaw tightening. "That's none of your business."
Aurora leaned forward, still smiling. "Well, Peter, I just wanted to test your feelings. I didn't really want to harm Adriana. It's just... You're so protective of her. I wanted to see how far you'd go to defend her."
Peter's face turned bright red as the realization hit him. He had just been played by Aurora.
His fists clenched, and he took a deep breath. "You're messing with me. This is not funny."
