After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion) novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129 Aurora Was Pregnant?

There was a possibility that Sion would never know about it, or maybe it won't be long. Whatever happens, to Aurora, the baby was hers and had nothing to do with him.

It moved rather fast given the procedure that followed was no new to them.

"Go over the divorce settlement and see if there's anything you need to add."

Looking at the agreement he handed over, Aurora pressed her lips and took it. After a quick scan, she said, "I told you I don't want anything of yours."

Always being generous, Sion gave her a house and enough money to live comfortably the rest of her life, which just a burden to her. Sion knew how stubborn she was, so he had to mention someone more convincing. "I promised Professor Robertson I'd take good care of you, and these are… a kind compensation for you."

"Compensate for what?" Aurora raised her head and looked him straight in the eye. "Have you done me something wrong that you need to make up for? You have done nothing wrong. What we had was merely a marriage of convenience, hadn't we?"

She turned her head away from the look of approval that might have appeared on his face. Then again, she regretted having said that. Now that it was a fake marriage, why did she care so much? Why was she so sad? Tomorrow this whole thing would be over.

His lips were slightly parted and his eyes showed his heavy heart. When he finally spoke, what he said was not the real reason for it, "I believe it's a normal marriage, so I want you to have what should be given to you and I hope you live a good life."

"Whatever, then." Aurora didn't want to talk about it anymore. Without hesitation she bowed her head and signed the divorce settlement. He could give it to her or she could take it away, she thought, and she could just give it back to him intact.

Sion were gazing at her for quite a while before he signed it. He couldn't tell how he felt, and again, he couldn't figure out a single reason not to sign.

"Don't forget to press your fingerprints, wherever there's a name," the clerk's emotionless voice reminded him, "The inkpad is right here." After finishing all the procedures, Sion gathered up the materials and passed them over.

The staff checked the papers, found no problems, and tapped on the keyboard. "There is a cooling-off period before divorce. All the procedures have been finished, you may now go home and wait. If you still want a divorce a month later, just come and get your divorce certificate."

The second she said it, the printer next to her rang and she took out two sheets of paper. "This is a receipt. Remember to take it with you next time you come."

"Cooling-off period?" Aurora was a little down and now became confused.

"Yeah." The staff gave her a strange look. "You didn't read the news? It has been in effect for several months."

"…"

Aurora probably just forgot she'd seen it.

"Can we skip it?" Aurora licked her lips and said, "You see, the period is supposed to prevent couples from impulsively divorcing without thinking it through. But we've decided."

Nevaeh has been pregnant and the person he loved was also Nevaeh. It was a fact that there will be absolutely nothing going on between them. In that case, it might as well be over as fast as possible.

Sion took a deep breath and looked over his shoulder of her. Was she really so eager to get this done? And didn't even want to wait another month? On his lap his hands clenched, he felt a feeling of powerlessness though. In fact, no matter what's behind it, he has no position to have a problem with that, after all, he also had to marry Nevaeh sooner.

"Of course, you can't. That's the law," the staff shook her heads and said, "It will take at least a month anyway."

"All right, then."

"It'll be quick." Sion rose with a brooding melancholy in his eyes.
