Phoenix's laughter echoed in the air, and his eyes revealed a deep understanding of Astoria.

She always has a gentle demeanor and seems approachable.

But only those who truly understand her know that she has an imperceptible pride hidden in her heart.

As the afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappears over the horizon, the tranquility of the night quietly descends.

Phoenix and his family also realized that time was passing and it was time to say goodbye.

Astoria's eyes followed Phoenix's back closely.

Until he disappeared into the night, her heart was filled with reluctance.

Damocles gently patted his daughter's shoulder, with a hint of helplessness and doting in his tone:

"Don't look at him, he's gone far away."

Although his feelings were complicated, at this moment he was more concerned about and protective of his daughter.

He didn't really show any jealousy, really!

Astoria's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she stubbornly retorted:

"No..."

Although her voice was weak, it revealed her deep feelings for Phoenix.

Damocles looked at his second daughter, feeling both reluctant and relieved.

The curse on Astoria has always been a heavy stone in his heart, and he has been looking for a way to lift the curse.

Perhaps, getting engaged to Phoenix is ​​a relief and a new beginning for Astoria.

Daphne, who was standing aside, remained silent as the older sister.

She knew that this was her sister's choice, and all she could do was to support and accompany her silently.

Her eyes wandered between Astoria and the night, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Or rather, I didn't know what to say. After all, this was Astoria's own choice.

As an elder sister, all she can do is support.

Time passes quickly like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, a new semester is about to begin.

Phoenix wanted to find Astoria countless times during the holidays, wanting to spend this rare leisure time with her.

However, Lucius, the elder of his family, stopped him with an almost unshakable attitude.

Lucius's reason was simple but firm: as a member of the Malfoy family, Phoenix must maintain the family's dignity and reserve.

He cannot pursue his emotions recklessly like those people without identity.

This is not only disrespectful to the family, but also irresponsible to oneself.

Although Phoenix was filled with helplessness and frustration, he had no choice but to accept this reality silently.

The distance between Malfoy Manor and Greengrass Manor.

It was like an invisible gap separating him and Astoria.

Phoenix's magic power has not yet reached the level of being able to teleport, which makes him feel a little powerless.

He sat in the carriage, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, his heart filled with longing for Astoria.

His fingers tapped unconsciously on the edge of the carriage, and each tap seemed to tell of his anxiety and anticipation.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the carriage.

Phoenix's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately waved his hand and shouted:

"Here, Astoria!"

There was surprise and excitement in his voice.

Astoria heard Phoenix calling, she turned her head and saw him.

A bright smile broke out on her face and she walked towards him briskly.

She skipped to the seat next to Phoenix and said happily:

"long time no see!"

Phoenix nodded, his eyes full of affection and tenderness.

Although they were separated for only a few months, to him, this period of time seemed as long as centuries.

He missed Astoria deeply. Every smile and every wink of hers were deeply engraved in his heart.

The two sat together, and the atmosphere in the car became warm and harmonious.

They talked about interesting things during the holiday and shared their thoughts and expectations with each other.

Phoenix gently squeezed Astoria's hand, the soft touch making him feel warm inside.

He looked at Astoria affectionately and said softly:

"Astoria, your hands are still so soft, just like when we first met."

Although Astoria glared at Phoenix, there was no real blame in her eyes, but rather a hint of mischief and joy.

She looked around and saw that there was no one else in the carriage except the two of them, which made her very curious.

"Draco, Harry, Ron, Hermione didn't come to see you?"

Astoria asked. She remembered that Phoenix always went out with these friends, and Draco was almost never absent.

Phoenix smiled, and there was a hint of complacency and pride in his smile.

"We were sitting together before."

他 说:

"But I left on my own initiative. After all, I already had a fiancée."

He blinked and continued:

"So in order to avoid someone getting jealous, I have to come and sit alone!"

Astoria's cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt very sweet in her heart.

But on the surface he pretended not to care.

"I'm not a jealous person!"

She retorted, a hint of stubbornness in her voice.

Phoenix squeezed her hand gently, his eyes full of love and fondness.

Phoenix's movements were gentle and natural, and he gently embraced Astoria's slender waist.

It was as if he was using this action to express his love and protection for her.

There was a hint of joking and fondness in his voice as he spoke again:

"Okay, okay, our Astoria is not a jealous person."

His words revealed his understanding and tolerance of her. Even though she had a little temper, he was willing to accommodate and pamper her.

At this time, Astoria, although still complaining angrily on the surface

But in fact, her heart has been melted by Phoenix's tenderness.

She didn't realize that she had completely fallen into the web of love carefully woven by Phoenix.

Her complaints were more like a kind of coquettishness, an affectionate response to Phoenix.

"Humph, we just met and you're already bullying me."

Astoria pouted and pretended to be angry. But her eyes were shining with smile.

Her expression and tone revealed her love and dependence on Phoenix.
