After Divorce, I Became A Queen novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81 A Child Can Save Their Marriage

"Yeah. So what?" Aurora stared him into his eyes and taunted fearlessly, "What's your problem with it? At least, I can protect myself in this way!"

"Aurora!" Sion called her name furiously as if he was about to explode.

"Shut up!" Aurora thundered. She went downstairs without looking back and slammed the door.

Sion listened to her footsteps, gritted his teeth but couldn't do anything! Aurora had become a different person recently. She used to be sweet and obedient. He thought it over but couldn't tell since when she had changed. Or maybe this was the real her. Maybe she thought it was time to set herself free and be her own self since they were getting a divorce soon. Sion heaved a long sigh and followed her to the first floor.

Ariana was alone at the dinning room, and had just set the table. Aurora sat down on the chair and looked back towards the living room.

"Your dad said he has no appetite. It's OK. I'll cook something else for him later." Ariana said and gave Aurora the chicken soup, "Where's Sion? What held him back there?"

Aurora heard it, took a sip of the soup and said nothing. Apparently, she was gonna ignore him. Sion came down with a long face. He pulled the chair hard and made a big noise against the floor.

Seeing that, Ariana knew something was off! Did they fight again? She glimpsed at them calmly, and found both of them were angry and stubborn. Ariana sighed quietly and could do nothing but talk sense into them. Bailey had pretended to have cancer in order to keep his son's marriage, and she must do her job as well.

Ariana put some food to Sion's plate and said meaningfully, "The next-door couple argued again yesterday. I thought they wouldn't speak for a couple of days. But, guess what? I saw them taking a walk hand in hand this morning."

Sion and Aurora seemed to have tacit understanding. Both of them focused on eating and neither of them said a word.

"I think we can talk things through. Any couple have their ups and downs. They fight. They make peace. They're still a family. No need to fuss over and upset about something petty, right?"

Saying it, she glanced at them and couldn't get anything. Well, she must say they were exactly the same when they were stubborn. Ariana stopped talking. Not any other sound could be heard in the dinning room except the forks and knives clinking on the plate.

A moment later, she thought it was weird to eat in silence and changed the topic, "Sion, how are you doing in Carroll Group? Are you fitting in?"

"Yep." Sion nodded and said naturally, "Basically, I've been on track."

"Well, that's great." Ariana glanced at Aurora, "We're working with Aurora's company, right? Your father has told me Aurora is the person in charge."

Sion glimpsed at Aurora but said nothing. In fact, Aurora didn't want to say anything, but she was pissed by his glimpse. She put down the fork and knife and said seriously, "It's true. Our company is working with Carroll Group to create a new brand. I was the chief designer of the project."

"Oh, really?" Ariana was interested in it. She sat up and added, "So, are you working with Sion?"

"That's nice! Sion can help you. Would you like to show me your designs? Let me have a look?"

Help? Forget that! She would be grateful if he didn't cause her extra troubles.
