After Divorce, I Became A Queen novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 A Signage without Hesitation

The man sounded emotionless but firm.

Aurora Robertson gripped her phone stunned.

But she could felt her heart which had grown rampant slowed down bit by bit. The dim lighthouse in her heart collapsed all at sudden.

So after the sex they had last night, Sion Carroll still chose Nevaeh Burns, didn't he?

Then what was the last night for him?

A mistake under the alcoholic effect?

Or the last gift for her from this marriage?

Chuckling at herself in mockery, Aurora suddenly got aware of the fact that she had been always expecting the marriage with Sion Carroll. Even just before the second of this call, she was eager to hear Sion Carroll saying he loved her.

But now, it was over.

She repressed the bitter grief, and said controlled, trying best to make her sound calm and rational, "Does father keep the household register, as you mentioned before..."

"No," Sion Carroll disturbed coldly, "The household register is with me, always."

The answer blanked Aurora Robertson's mind for while. She gnashed, after pressing her lips hardly, "Fine, see you then."

As soon as she completed the sentence, she hung up the phone, for she was reluctant to hear more from him.

Aurora Robertson sat there still, stunned.

This sounded like a tragic comedy in which the household register was always kept by Sion Carroll.

But why did he lie to her when she proposed to divorce before?

Was that because he had not yet settled down with Nevaeh Burns?

If so, she, Aurora Robertson, was nothing but a fool!

He sounded so firm without any hesitation.

Then what did she hesitate for?

Aurora Robertson turned and got off the bed. Her sudden motion caused discomfort as a result of the sex last night.

"No big deal, just treat it as…" Aurora thought,"as a dog bite!"

She picked the dress carefully and did a quick makeup for a decent look.

Watching herself on the mirror, Aurora Robertson chuckled with mockery again. Then she turned around and left her home.

This was at noon already in the hospital.

After changing the clothes, Sion Carroll was heading to the parking lot. When he came out from the corridor, he met Nevaeh Burns who was looking for him.

"Sion."

Nevaeh Burns looked radiant, with shyness on her face since from the sight of Sion Carroll. She asked, "Are you moving out?"

"Yes," Sion Carroll answered and watched her, without significant emotion, "I going to deal with some business."

Nevaeh Burns decoded what the business was.

But she did not say it loud. Instead, she said quiet in consideration, "Will you join me for dinner when you are back this afternoon? I know a restaurant that is good at healthy soup making."

Considering the last night, Sion Carroll changed his mind in which he would have rejected her invitation instinctively, for he had no reason any more to refuse her. Instead, he should be with her for the rest of his life.

"Ok, I will call you after I get things done."

Nevaeh Burns did not conceal the sweetness in her face and said joyfully, "All right."

Looking at the man's back further and further, Nevaeh Burns smiled triumphantly.

Sion Carroll was on the way to divorce with Aurora Robertson, wasn't he?

Given Aurora Robertson's tough personality, she must not mention about what happened last night to him.

So their divorce was must-have.

…

When Aurora Robertson reached the Register Office, Sion Carroll had not showed up.

She stood by the flower bed waiting, sniggering at herself again.

A touch of similarity came to her. Wasn't it just like the last time when she stood at the same place?

She had waited but he failed to come at length.

But this time, she felt totally different.

She was aware of the fact that this was a marriage only for her. And now it was time to wake up.

In the car nearing the Register Office, Sion Carroll caught the sight of Aurora Robertson waiting on the stair from distance.
