After Divorce, I Became A Queen novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272 Scheme

The next morning, Nevaeh went straight to Carroll Group after getting ready. She heard the news that Sion's little girl had gone missing and he was searching for her everywhere. This was a stroke of luck for her.

The troublemaker who stood between her and Sion had finally left, and she could take this opportunity to comfort him. So on this day, she dressed up carefully and walked into the building.

When Sion saw her walk into the office, he instinctively frowned.

"Why are you here?" asked he.

"I..." Nevaeh felt wronged when she saw his cold attitude. She pursed her lips and said, "I heard that Morgan is missing. I just wanted to ask how your search is going?"

"Not found yet. But I'll handle it. You don't need to worry about it."

Nevaeh was secretly happy when she heard this but looked worried on the surface as she tried to console him, "Don't worry too much; everything will be alright with that little girl."

Sion raised his eyebrows slightly in response but didn't say anything else.

"Did she get lost alone?" Nevaeh put on a worried look since he didn't respond earlier, "She's such a small child wandering around out there. Who knows how much hardship she has faced..."

As Nevaeh spoke these words, she failed to notice that the man's expression became increasingly annoyed.

"If there is anything I can do to help, just tell me because I also like that child very much." Nevaeh continued to say.

Sion took a deep breath before coldly rejecting her offer, "If there isn't anything else you need help with, then please leave here."

After last night, he became even more distant towards Nevaeh now than ever before. Even basic communication seemed unnecessary except for their shared history as classmates.

Nevaeh bit down on her lip while looking unwillingly at him: "Sion... I just want to show my concern for you."

"Sion, I'm caring about you." Nevaeh pouted.

"And last night you just left me behind..." Her voice choked up as tears welled up in her eyes, "Don't you think I'll be hurt by you?"

Sion paused briefly while holding onto some documents before raising an eyebrow in her direction.

"You should know why." Sion blurted. He was completely indifferent towards seeing through all of Neveah's pitiful attempts now, only giving one glance at best before returning down again.

"I still have work left." Said he.

Having someone like herself around would only affect his productivity negatively. Upon hearing this, Nevaeh's heart sank and she felt as if the connection between them was slowly crumbling. She could sense his cold attitude to her, which was conspicuous enough.

Suddenly, she had an idea and quickly tried to salvage the situation by saying, "When I was abroad before, I knew a talented computer expert. Maybe my friend can help. Do you want me to contact him?"

Upon hearing this, Sion stopped what he was doing and looked up at her.

"A computer expert?"

His eyes darkened as he thought about the day Morgan disappeared. The surveillance cameras in their neighbourhood happened to malfunction during that period. If Nevaeh knew a computer expert, there might be a chance of fixing it. Seemingly moved by this news, Sion's expression softened from its previous coldness to his usual demeanour.

"That would be great if you could help me out."

Seeing his relaxed expression made Nevaeh happy. It seemed like that little girl couldn't be found after all; otherwise, Sion wouldn't have accepted her help. She smiled contentedly before turning around to leave.
