After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion) novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Allergy

"Yeah." While packing things up, Nevaeh continued in a teasing tone, "I happened to see both of them hanging around in the mall yesterday. And today that gentleman incredibly protected her from harm. I guess they should be in love."

Not until then did Sion pay Alex a glance.

He stood up to stare at Alex from above, who was sitting still.

Then he fixed his eyes on Alex's wound.

Aurora somehow captured a trace of sulkiness within Sion's eyes, which she found embarrassing.

Though she believed Sion reserved no feelings for her, it would be awkward to lead him into a misunderstanding that she was now falling in love with another guy since they hadn't officially divorced yet.

"Well, we are not…"

"Hmm, I am courting her." Before Aurora could declare, Alex suddenly cut in. Then he continued swiftly, "Though we haven't been in a relationship, I will do my best to work on it."

"Oh, you gotta keep up!" Nevaeh took off the gloves to encourage him.

Aurora was speechless.

Sion grew more sulk. He shifted his gaze off from Alex. Nor did he cast a glance at Aurora. He simply talked to Nevaeh, "Have you done the stitching? Come on, time for lunch."

Nevaeh felt like the atmosphere was getting awkward.

She took a look at Sion and then at Aurora, "Well, why don't we dine together? It's common to dine with friends, right?"

But Aurora found herself really reluctant. Before she was about to refuse, Sion continued with his cold voice, "Come. Let's go."

She felt like the word of refusal got stuck in the middle of her throat. Meanwhile, she was confused about what was on Sion's mind. Why did he allow both Alex and her to interrupt his date with his ex? Didn't he consider it embarrassing? But since Sion had agreed, so be it.

It wasn't at the peak hour of the restaurant.

The four of them decided to have a table next to the window. Alex walked over there to pull out a chair for Aurora naturally.

Sion sat down himself opposite them. Then he beckoned a waiter over.

After making her orders, Nevaeh handed Aurora the menu, "Anything else you guys want for lunch?"

Alex took over the menu. He turned to ask Aurora in a soft voice while flipping it, "What do you want for lunch? Let me help you to order."

Since he had confessed his intention to court her, he decided to do his best in all aspects.

Feeling uneasy, Aurora wasn't in the mood for thinking about those dishes.

"Whatever fits your appetite…" she replied.

Alex then smiled at her, "I saw you sweating in the hospital. Let me get you a scoop of ice cream with mango. Is that okay for you?"

Before she was about to refuse, Sion suddenly uttered coldly, "She's allergic to mango."

As soon as he finished, the three of them all looked at him in surprise. After a few seconds of silence, both Nevaeh and Alex asked in unison, "How do you know?"

The atmosphere became a bit unsettling.
