After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion) novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19 Suspicion

She finally finished her preparation for market research today.

In the following week, she soon got used to the work. She had been busy for every single day.

It was a Thursday on April 28th. Aurora asked for a leave beforehand. She got up early and dressed herself up.

She put on a nice makeup and her favorite dress to decently put an end to this marriage.

Sion didn't stay at home last night. So she hailed herself a taxi to the court and waited for him at a parterre in front of the portal.

As breeze blew, the hemline of her long floral dress floated in the air, beneath which the fair skin of her slim calves revealed.

She was wearing exactly the same as the day when she met Sion for the first time.

However, this time, her mindset was totally different.

Back into the old days, she was filled with joy and excitement.

At the thought of that, she couldn't help sighing. After checking the time on her watch, she noticed that he was late. However, he still hadn't shown up.

She didn't make a call to him until waiting for another five minutes, "Are you on your way?"

"What's the matter?" his response went beyond her expectation.

Speechless, she couldn't help clenching her phone hard. She didn't continue until quite a while later, "I am waiting at the court. Have you forgot that today is the day when we are gonna divorce?"

"Oh, sorry. I have been busy with surgeries these days. I just forgot that."

"Come over here. I am still waiting."

But he simply responded after a short pause, "Sorry, I got a seminar to attend today. Now I am on my way there."

Aurora gritted to huff, "Why didn't you tell me about that before you agreed to divorce?"

He seemingly sounded a bit exhausted, "I just got the notice this morning."

Fiddling with her own fingers, she struggled to hold back her emotion. Then she asked anxiously, "When will you be back?"

Sitting next to the window on a train, Sion fixed his eyes on the scenery outside while contemplating.

Then he answered in low voice, "The day after tomorrow."

She couldn't help pouting. It was at the weekend the day after tomorrow. So she gotta reschedule the divorce to the next Monday.

"Okay…" she sounded a bit mad but helpless.

Frowning, Sion asked, seemingly a bit displeased, "Are you in a hurry for that?"

Her attitude felt like she was gonna request for his immediate return to finish the divorce.

But she wasn't in the mood for talking. Then she merely said "Hmm" and then hung up the call.

While looking back at the court, she simply sighed.

The leave for today was wasted.

Sion maintained a sulky face after she hung up the call.

He continued to stare outside the window, unmoved.

Seeing him finishing his call, one of his colleagues approached to ask curiously, "Dr. Carroll, I remember you weren't designated to attend the seminar, were you?"

Sion answered with his eyes slightly closed, "I just feel like attending on a whim."

Soon, the air fell into silence.

Those doctors sitting nearby felt like the atmosphere was getting chilling all of a sudden. They couldn't help looking at him, who was frowning with his eyes fixed outside the window while wearing a serious expression.

He seemed rather unpredictable.

…

After Sion stood her up this morning, she had been distraught for the rest of the day.

What an egocentric guy!
