After Divorce, I Became A Queen novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264 Sion’s Visit

As he drove down the road, Sion kept his car window open and let the cool breeze hit his face. It felt refreshing and invigorating, almost like it could clear his mind and body of any worries. He couldn't help but think back to that night years ago.

That night, he had drank too much alcohol and his memories were hazy. But he remembered feeling completely different from how he felt tonight. In his recollection, everything was shrouded in a thick fog. He couldn't see the woman's face clearly or remember how she had even appeared. All he could recall was Seth calling Aurora on the phone but her not being able to come over, Nevaeh calling him for directions, and then waking up with Nevaeh beside him.

But what stood out most in his memory was a woman's voice, angry yet playful as she called out to him by name, "Sion."

Nevaeh never used that tone with him before. She always acted more familiar with him.

Sion's grip on the steering wheel tightened unconsciously as thoughts raced through his mind about how this situation might have been a misunderstanding. If it turned out that way then how would he ever make it up to Aurora?

The more Sion thought about it though, the clearer things became in his head.

His eyes narrowed as he pressed down harder on the gas pedal. All he wanted now was to be right in front of Aurora so they could talk this through properly.

As Sion drove into a residential area filled with villas near where Aurora lived, streetlights illuminated their surroundings making everything appear darker than usual since many houses had already turned off their lights for bedtime.

Sion glanced at the phone lying next to him on the passenger seat, wondering if Aurora was asleep already. Something inside urged him forward, causing him to dial her number immediately without thinking twice about it.

Inside one of those villas sat Aurora, playing Lego blocks with two children while thinking they should probably start getting ready for bed soon. Theodore heard something from a nearby sofa. "Mommy! Your phone is ringing!"

"Okay." She reached over patting Theodore's head before standing up smilingly and walking towards the sofa.

Sion?

Why would Sion call at such an hour?

Instinctively glancing over at Theodore and Morgan, she walked away from them towards somewhere more private before answering, "Mr Carroll? Is there something urgent you need? At this late hour?"

Sudden itchiness surged within Sion's heart upon hearing Aurora's voice.

"Aurora are you asleep yet? I need your help with something." Said he.

Aurora was taken aback and immediately refused, her heart in a panic. She said, "I'm already asleep. Sometimes things can wait until tomorrow. And don't come to my house."

Theodore and Morgan hadn't even left yet. Had he discovered something? Or was it another deliberate test?

Sion didn't notice anything unusual, hit the brakes and looked up at the lights on the second floor of the villa.

"But I'm already here at your doorstep."
