After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion)

Aurora pretended to be unconcerned, "Well, I almost forgot about the old story."

Sion cast a cold glance at her. Though he remained silent, Aurora somehow found it rather stressful.

She couldn't help wondering if he tried to indicate his annoyance for her being such a burden for years.

"Well, I gotta go...just feel free to continue with your talk." After that, Aurora fled away before she got any response from either of them.

Commonly speaking, they seemed more like a perfect match in all aspects.

While she appeared to be rather inferior when compared to Nevaeh.

She knew the longer she stayed, the more humiliated she would get.

Thinking about the past, she couldn't help letting out a smile of self-mockery. Then she sped up her pace.

Sion watched her back fading away in panic. But still, he remained emotionless while speaking to Nevaeh, "Let's go."

Aurora didn't let out a breath of relief until she walked out of the gate.

As she raised her head, she found Maisy waiting for her afar, who was revealing a seemingly unfriendly look.

Aurora frowned worriedly.

She had no idea how to deal with it.

If she simply walked forward, it would bring her in trouble.

Without any scruple, Aurora hurried to hail a taxi to run away.

Meanwhile, Maisy happened to notice her. She rushed over for a few steps forward, exclaiming with annoyance, "Aurora, stop!"

But soon, the taxi galloped away.

Under the weird gaze of others, Maisy stomped her foot out of madness while cursing Aurora secretly.

How ill-mannered!

It was literally the greatest fortune in her life ever to marry Sion, Maisy believed. However, she never seemed to appreciate that.

If she was proven to be infertile, Maisy would suggest her son divorce her.

Maisy turned around to cast a mad glance at the hospital. Meanwhile, she couldn't help complaining about her son.

That boy didn't even act like his mom!

There was nothing special about Aurora but her pretty face.

An extraordinary gentleman with a promising future and a privileged family like her son should be appealing enough to attract whoever ladies he liked.

However, she had never expected that Sion refused to end the marriage.

According to Sion's explanation, he did this because of Professor Robertson's will. But a three-year marriage should be enough for his promise, Maisy believed.

Actually, Aurora did have an appointment with her bestie, Elle Ford, whom she was going to dine with tonight.

So Aurora went back home to get herself changed. Then she headed to the restaurant she often dined with Elle.

With delicate makeup on her face and curly hair naturally hanging on her shoulder, Elle arrived.

The pair of luxurious diamond earrings she was wearing shone dazzlingly under the light.

"Come on, why should you care about Maisy? You followed her to the hospital as she required?" Elle was a bit exasperated at Aurora's timidness. But meanwhile, she felt sorry for her, "How could you get pregnant if he has never slept with you? Sion is emotionally abusing you! Just divorce him! I can afford to back you up financially!"

Aurora had been living alone like a widow while being continuously bothered by an unreasonable mother-in-law. How could she bear to keep on living like that?

Aurora was a bit touched when hearing Elle's straightforward suggestion.

Elle was born into a rich family and Aurora knew how much she cared about her.

Smiling, she fed Elle a piece of dessert, "Yeah, I know you are rich. But I won't divorce."

Blinking her shining eyes, Aurora continued softly, "After all, my dad's last wish is to let me live with him forever."

Speaking of Aurora's dad, Toby Robertson, Elle sighed, "That was because your dad passed away so unexpectantly. There was no one around him worth his trust but Sion, the only student he was proud of the most. That was why he entrusted your life to him."

"But after all these years, neither of you has grown any feelings for the other. Are you still gonna let yourself be bound by the marriage? You are at your prime age. Are you gonna let yourself wither at your prime age?"

Aurora let out a meaningful smile while taking small bites of the dessert and hearing her talking exuberantly.

Actually, she did grow some affection for him, but she never received the same from him in return.

She had been carefully keeping her affection deep inside her heart for years, which she cherished like a piece of treasure and told no one about it.

"You're just being too kind... Damn!" while speaking, Elle seemed to be frozen as soon as she casually turned her head aside. Then she whispered to Aurora, "Hey, on your left!"

Aurora looked over there as Elle indicated. Soon, she felt like the food she was chewing tasted plain and lame.

On a table next to the window, there sat a gentleman and a lady dining together. Under the candlelight, the atmosphere between them felt warm and intimate.

Nevaeh was cutting the steak elegantly while talking about reminiscence, "The city remains the same after all these years. I miss the old days when I felt like we could go through everything as long as you were with me."

With a warm smile, she raised her head to take a look at him. After a short pause, she continued, "Luckily, after going through all these, I am happy to find that everything remains unchanged. The one I care about is still here."

"Sion, do you still resent me for me insisting on studying abroad?" while asking, she was worried.

Leaning backwards on the seat, Sion responded casually, "You know I respected whatever choice you made."

Nevaeh smiled at ease. Then she lifted a glass of wine to toast, "Thank you."

Sion had been aloof, and always told exactly what he thought.

Nevaeh then put down the glass and fixed her eyes on the sparkling wine next to Sion's plate.

Her voice sounded a bit joyful, "You haven't changed."

Just like before, he loved to have steak medium well with a glass of sparkling wine.

Perhaps it was out of the effect of alcohol, or the fact that Sion didn't change at all, Nevaeh mustered up the courage to reach out her fair hand to have his covered with hers. Meanwhile, she cast an affectionate gaze at him.

Sion remained unmoved. He looked down at her hand on top of his. Then he took a look at Nevaeh.

A trace of blush appeared on her face. Then she confessed, "Sion, can we...can we start over?"
