Staring outside the window where there was a fountain glowing under the sunlight in the garden, Aurora felt a bit dazzled.
With hands in pockets of his white gown, Sion stood up straight.
Undoubtedly, his appearance looked too perfect to be challenged. His facial features looked aloof with fair skin and a clear-cut jawline. The indifference revealed in his eyes seemed to indicate his carefree character.
He stood up straight casually while staring at her from above.
“Who brought you here?” his questioning voice sounded chilling and husky, for which Aurora couldn’t help shivering.
With her lips pressed, she repressed the grievance in her heart. Then she raised her head to take a look at him. But soon, she averted her gaze, silent.
Sion stared at the top of her head, displeased, “Don’t you know you aren’t suitable for a check like that?”
While speaking, he frowned to show how displeased he appeared.
“I know. But I am 23 years old…” biting her lips, she avoided his cold eye contact to reply timidly.
He had been used to talking to her like that as if she were a fool knowing nothing.
At the thought of that, Aurora was rendered a bit aggrieved. She suddenly refuted, “It’s…it’s your mom who supposed that there might be something wrong with my fertility.”
Maisy always considered her too young to serve as a satisfying wife for Sion. After they got married, she despised Aurora for not having a baby for three years.
After she failed to dissuade Maisy, she compromised to follow her to the hospital for a check.
Upon hearing that, Sion realized what happened.
He looked a bit sulky while pinching his brows to relax. Then he huffed coldly, “I will tell her we have been sleeping in different rooms.”
His voice appeared so cold that it seemed he deemed it something common.
Aurora shook her head. The sense of grievance was growing stronger and stronger. She somehow blurted out, “Why can’t we have a baby?”
The air suddenly fell into silence.
Sion turned around to cast a glance at her with surprise.
Golden sunlight shed upon every inch of her face. Her almond eyes revealed nothing but innocence, pureness and charm.
She still looked the same just as he met her for the first time ten years ago.
Though she still appeared like a little girl, she dared to propose to have a baby with him.
Sion started frowning his eyes turning unpredictable.
Aurora’s courage soon waned in a second.
His impassive response must be indicating his reluctance, she reckoned.
After all, there was nothing to maintain their marriage but responsibility only.
A marriage based on no love could never lead to a baby.
