After Divorce, I Became A Queen novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 The Marriage Was A Deal In His Eyes

The next day, Aurora Robertson had not left the company after work but sat in her seat, unmoved and frustrated.

Yes, she regretted it.

Why did she agree for Nevaeh Burns to approach her as if she were possessed?

And what should she say?

Would she apologize to Nevaeh Burns and say that she shouldn't marry Sion Carroll? But she did not feel guilty. It was Sion Carroll who insisted on marrying her.

Would she ask Nevaeh Burns to apologize and admit that Nevaeh was now the one who wormed her way into their family? But Nevaeh Burns was Sion Carroll's first love.

Aurora sighed with resignation. She took her bag and left the company.

The restaurant they chose was not far from her company. When she arrived, Nevaeh and Sion were already waiting for her.

They sat side by side, talking about something. Both handsome men and and pretty women were very eye-catching.

Aurora sat down, and Nevaeh glanced at her. She couldn't tell the meaning revealed by her eyes. It wasn't resentment. It looked aloof and mysterious.

Aurora forced a smile and said first, "... Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Her eyes quickly scanned the opposite Sion and then lowered his head to tidy up the cutlery in front of her.

"Not for long."

Nevaeh laughed with ease, "Sion picked me up, and we took a detour because of a little traffic jam."

"Oh... alright."

He picked Nevaeh up deliberately.

Aurora recalled that Sion had never especially taken a long way to pick her up.

She once thought that he would care about the end of their marriage. However, compared to her reaction, Sion's moves revealed his indifference. She overestimated herself.

"We ordered some. Do you have something you want to eat?"

Nevaeh said, ready to press the service bell. Aurora quickly shook her head and reached out to block her, "No, I'm not picky about food. What you ordered is enough."

The last time Nevaeh suffered a relapse was due to eating the dishes she ordered. If there were such a coincidence again today, it would be extremely hard for her to explain herself.

"That's all right." Nevaeh withdrew her hand. It's not the time to beat around the bush. She looked at the man next to her affectionately, then turned to Aurora and said calmly, "I know all about your affair. Sion has also explained it to me. Aurora, I don't blame you... You two don't love each other. In my opinion, it's a sham marriage. over the past few years, Sion has been taking care of you, which is a relief to the late professor Robertson."

Aurora was down in dumps. She glanced at Sion, whose thin lips were lightly pursed.

Aurora picked up the lemonade on the table and took a sip. She smiled and said, "Well, I'm very grateful to Dr. Carroll for taking care of me. Now... It's almost over."

Sion Carroll gazed at the woman sitting quietly.

Nevaeh noticed that Aurora had finished half the water in her glass. She took the initiative to fill it up for her and said, "Please keep the secret when confronted with Uncle Bailey. Thanks for your hard work."

Aurora was startled for a moment. Sion must have told Nevaeh Bailey's situation.

"I'm probably not going to work at the hospital tomorrow either."

Sion noticed that Nevaeh looked a little desolate. He slightly frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"There's something wrong with my stomach... And I think I'll have to have another checkup. It's been a long time. I'm afraid it'll affect my work."

"Is it serious?" Sion was worried. Aurora, sitting opposite Sion, acted as if she had not heard their conversation. However, her hand that held the cutlery constantly tightened.

Even without looking up, she could feel how warm the atmosphere was between them. Aurora suddenly felt that the food on the plate was tasteless.

"I don't know what's going on yet. I'll wait for the results of the follow-up examination." Nevaeh gently held Sion's arm and smiled. "It shouldn't be serious. Don't you think I'm fine now?"

Upon hearing this, Aurora took a deep breath and felt that the food seemed to be choking her heart. It didn't go up or down. She was extremely uncomfortable.

Then her cell phone rang, and she was so relieved to see the caller that she answered it as if she had seen her savior.

"Albie..."

Albie Doyle's deep and pleasant voice came over the phone.

"Aurora, where are you? I want to take you to a place."

The quiet environment made Sion hear his words clearly.

His thin lips pursed unconsciously as he stared at Aurora, who was sniggering. His gaze became somewhat cold...
