Chapter 108 Could Aurora be…
So Bailey didn’t really have liver cancer? She was still thinking about this, and her heartbeat accelerated as well. It turned out that they were really talking about something important! Aurora looked down carefully through the gap, guessing that they probably thought there was no one at home, so they could talk about the truth openly. It was purely accidental that she could hear that secret. But, why did they do that?
But no matter why, Aurora knew that they must have their own reasons, and they really didn’t want her and Sion to know. Then she should probably leave quietly now and made plans later. Aurora took a deep breath, took off the shoes and held them in her hands.
Ariana and Bailey were still chatting, completely oblivious to the fact that there was someone upstairs who slipped out through the back door like a thief.
When Aurora arrived at the company, she was late for a full hour. Because of what she heard at home in the morning, she was absent-minded all day.
“Aurora?” Abigail stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Aurora’s eyes, “What are you thinking? I’ve been talking for a while, why didn’t you respond at all?”
“Huh?” Aurora sat up, looking confused, “What did you say?”
“…” Abigail sighed, “The factory wants to confirm the final version, and I’ve sent it to your email already.”
“Okay.”
“What did you do? It doesn’t look like you’re in the working mood at all.”
“… It’s nothing.” Aurora licked her lips while operating the computer, “Family matters.”
“Okay, then take a look at the documents and reply to them as soon as possible.”
“Okay.” After she finished speaking, she checked the email quickly and reply to her after confirming that there was no problem.
After this was done, she sighed heavily. What the hell and why was she who discovered this? What Aurora was struggling with now was whether to tell Sion about this matter or not. After all, he was still looking for doctors for Bailey’s cancer yesterday.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
She picked up the phone and put it down again after a while. She couldn’t call him yet. Since Bailey came up with this method to deceive them, he must have his own reasons. What could it be because of? Aurora recalled the whole incident in her heart. On the day Bailey was diagnosed with liver cancer, she planned to divorce Sion originally.
“Why will you divorce Aurora? I won’t allow it!”
“Both of you, give me your marriage certificate and household registration book.”
…
Thinking of what Bailey said that day, he was angry and asked for their documents, she couldn’t help but guess.
Was Bailey pretending to be sick to prevent them from divorcing?!
It seemed that there was no other possibility except this.
Aurora’s heart was full of mixed feelings, like a mess. But in the end, she decided not to tell Sion about this yet, she wanted to talk to Bailey first.
…
Nevaeh invited Sion for lunch.
She dressed up carefully and drove to the restaurant that she had booked in advance. After getting out of the car, she didn’t walk far and saw the man sitting by the window inside.
A dark grey suit was hung on the back of the seat. A white shirt was on him and making his figure tall and straight. His lowered eyes were clear and deep, and his slender white fingers were flicking on the phone. Somehow he saw something interesting, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
Nevaeh looked at him for a while, as if she was admiring her own possessions, with unspeakable pride. Under the light, her amber pupils burned like fire.
As if sensing it, Sion turned his head.
Nevaeh suddenly put on a gentle smile, turned around and walked in from the door, “Sion, have you been waiting long?”
“No.” Sion put his phone on the table, picked up an empty glass and poured her a glass of water, “Here is not far from the company.”
“Would this have an impact on your work?” Nevaeh sat down and tidied up the napkin. She said a little embarrassedly, “I ate alone recently, and I didn’t know what to eat anymore… and I… I want to see you too.”
Sion’s expression didn’t change at all. His hands were folded casually on the dining table. He said in a flat voice, “It won’t be an impact. The project has been stabilized, and I always eat on time.” He implicated that it wasn’t trouble to meet up for lunch during lunch hours.
But none of this mattered to Nevaeh. For her, the important thing was that this man was by her side, not Aurora.
“Yeah,” she said and moved her eyes slightly. She picked up the menu to take a look and asked, “You work so hard normally, don’t forget to take good care of yourself. Is there anything you want to eat? The filet is good here, do you want to try it?”
“Sure.”
“Since we both need to drive later, so I won’t order any wine. How about a pumpkin soup with crab roe?”
“Sounds good.”
After ordering, they were just chatting casually. They happened to talk about Maisy’s protruding disc in her waist.
“Sion, why don’t you ask aunt to come and live with me? It is inconvenient for her to do many things all by herself, and she won’t be able to take care of herself either.” Nevaeh thought, even if it would be a bit troublesome for Maisy to live with her, but in that case, it would come a time that Sion would have to come to her.
“No need.” Sion raised his hand and took a sip of water, “If necessary, I will find her a nanny.” He added, “After all, you are not in good healthy condition either. All you need to do is to take good care of yourself. Don’t worry about other things.”
Nevaeh tucked her drooping hair behind her ears and her face flushed slightly, “Okay.” She also understood that some things should not be rushed too much, otherwise it would look like she wasn’t doing it for a simple good purpose. Yet she wondered whether Sion was still rejecting her from being part of his life.
Nevaeh knew and paid attention to food. She was very good at matching staple food and side dishes according to one’s taste, so eating with her was indeed a kind of enjoyment. She filled a bowl of soup in her own bowl and put it in front of Sion and said, “This pumpkin soup tastes really good, you will definitely like it. Try it.”
Sion watched her move and paused for a moment. Although it was an unused bowl, such a move seemed a little too intimate. He moved his mouth slightly, but in the end, he only picked up the spoon and took a sip. He said, “It’s really good.”
Immediately Nevaeh felt encouraged by his move. She took the bowl right in front of him with a big smile and filled it up for himself. Before she took a sip, the phone in her bag rang. She put down the spoon and took out the phone. After looking at the screen, her eyes darkened. Instead of answering it, she hung it up immediately. Facing Sion’s suspected sight, she smiled and said indifferently, “There are too many sales calls, and I am tired of answering them.”
Sion got it, so he didn’t ask any questions.
However, Nevaeh was a little out of her mind. The thing she asked had a result now. But what would it be?
