After Divorce, I Became A Queen novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60 The Chaos before Divorce

His hair was messy. Maybe as a result of alcohol, he seemed slight impatient with a pair of misty eyes.

"Are you…ok?"

Aurora Robertson shifted her sight away, not brave enough to stare at him.

"What brings you here?"

Sion Carroll frowned at her whose appearance was out of his expectation. He seemed to lag in response, not as usual.

Aurora Robertson was amused by the man's lagging. She could not control but stretched a slight smile, and said, "Just let me in first."

He leaned aside to make way for her. Aurora Robertson closed the door as soon as she passed by, and divested the bag from her shoulder.

"Seth told me about your hand's injury. So I bring some medicine to you for sanitary."

Sion Carroll stood still and gazed at her. He seemed puzzle and tried to figure out if this was a dream.

Aurora Robertson felt awkward under his gaze. Seeing the man standing like a stone figure, she dragged him to the sofa and had him rest down.

The sight of the man's horrid palm which was inlaid with glass fragments brought her a flow of chill. She concerned, "How could it be like that? Does not it hurt?"

"Well, it doesn't."

He said it low, careless about the wound, with his eyes pinning on the woman in front.

Aurora Robertson frowned at him, and soon buried her head to wound treatment.

"Watch yourself and keep the wound away from water. Tomorrow…when you come to the hospital, you must renew the bandage."

After packing up the medical stuff, she was going to rise but the man suddenly gripped her wrist.

She asked with shock, "What …are you doing?"

Though drunk he was, Sion Carroll looked sincere, which fueled the beating of Aurora Robertson's heart.

"Aurora…"

His low deep voice had a taste of wine, setting her nerves tingling just like a stream of slight electricity joyfully through her body

The man…

He must be drunk badly, otherwise he would not called her this way.

"I didn't mean to hurt you. Can you please forgive me?"

She could felt Sion's breath on her face when he speaking.

Realizing he was talking about tonight, Aurora Robertson stunned for a while. As the man drawing nearer and nearer, she flushed, with her anger vanished. She said it low, "…I…Never mind. I have forgiven you."

"Really?"

"Yes."

The confirmation pulled a smile on the man's face. His eyes were misty. And his arm suddenly rounded the girl and lifted her on his laps.

Aurora Robertson felt a stop in her heart for the man's unexpected motion.

His chin leaned against her neck. His breath froze her just in a second. She dared not to make any move, even an inch.

With his eyes shut, Sion Carroll expelled a breath and required in low deep voice, "Stay in my hug, even just a while."

"…"

"I still remembered the first time when I met you. You were that small. How come you haven't grown up after so many years?"

"…I am not small any more…Now I'm at the age of 24."

The flush crept down on her neck from the face. The man's breathe with a taste of wine slipped on her skin, like a naughty breeze playing about her bare skin, making her itch.

Sion Carroll chuckled at her childish, but he did not retort. He said, "True. The little girl has grown up and become a wife."

She was his wife now.

With her lip curling at his words, she did not make any response, for she sensed he meant more than the words.

"Aurora," he called again. She felt his voice turned dull, coming through her hair and slipped into her ears.

"Keep away from the other man, please."

His requested it so genially and patiently that Aurora Robertson could not reject.
