After Divorce, I Became A Queen novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62 Today Let’s Get This Over.

Blue veins stood out on Sion Carroll's forehead, daze flooded him. He forced his eyes to shut, collecting his memory from start.

Now he remembered.

Seth Harvey did called Aurora Robertson who did not show up finally…

She turned down Seth Harvey on the phone.

Then…

Nevaeh Burns called him and he told her the address.

"Keep away from the other man, please."

"There is only you in my heart, always."

"Do you love me?"

"Surely I am loving you."

So the words were not from Aurora Robertson, not her…

Sion Carroll turned dull and somber, with a touch of panic, so slight that he might fail to get aware of.

"Urh?" Nevaeh Burns unfolded her eyelids, soon closed again as if she was worn out, and asked, "Who else could be? I was worn out by you, can we just go back to sleep?"

His behavior was a proof of his lack of memory. Otherwise how could he listen to her so long?

But did he think the woman was Aurora Robertson?

A touch of melancholy rose in her eyes for the question, and soon flew away.

Sion Carroll closed his hand into a fist and withdrew finally.

"Have you been with me all along…last night?"

Did Aurora Robertson not show up from the start to the end?

"Yes," Nevaeh Burns nodded shyly and moved deeper in the duvet, saying, "I just came after your call and then you.. didn't allow me to leave."

"…Sorry," Sion Carroll apologized.

He sealed his lips into a line, frowning.

The uncontrollable headache came to him like a suffocating tide. With a silent sigh, he sprang up and picked up the robe besides the bed, and slipped it on quickly.

But Sion Carroll was frozen next minute.

A harsh scarlet tread of blood spots lay on the white bed sheet, which hit him like a thunder. He had not noticed it until he opened the duvet at his side.

The stare at Nevaeh Burns reposing on the bed filled his expression with guilt, while his eyes were as dark as a bottomless gulf.

He could be sure that he had mistaken the woman under the effect of alcohol.

But no matter what, that was his fault consigning Nevaeh Burns to a victim.

And Aurora Robertson.

The woman in his heart was reluctant even just to pay him for a visit.
