After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Got Held Up

After saying goodbye to Nevaeh, Aurora returned home.

As soon as she opened the door, she noticed there was a pair of women's leather shoes.

It must be Maisy who dropped by. She couldn't help sighing at the thought of that.

But now she found it impossible to walk away since Maisy had noticed that she was home.

Upset, Aurora changed her shoes.

Maisy was sitting on the couch while watching TV. Hearing the door was open, she took a look over there. Then she shifted her gaze back to the TV.

Though Aurora felt like heading straight back to her room, she still needed to walk past the couch, which meant that there was no way for her to avoid being seen by Maisy.

So she simply walked over, "Maisy, what brought you here?"

"What? Are you gonna dissuade me to pay a visit to my son's residence?" Maisy took a glance at her.

Aurora smiled awkwardly, "No, I didn't mean that. Of course you're welcomed here."

Maisy huffed with her eyes fixed on the TV, "I bet you haven't known that his gorgeous and promising ex has returned, huh?"

Aurora responded with silence with her head down.

"I don't mean to be judgy…But it's true that you and Sion aren't compatible with each other. You should take the chance to divorce when you are still young."

Aurora suddenly blurted out, "I have planned to divorce him today!"

After a short pause of surprise, Maisy seemed rather delighted and much less impatient, "Really?"

After all these years of implication and persuasion, she was so excited to know that Aurora was finally convinced.

Facing her excitement, Aurora simply continued, "But your son got me stood up."

Maisy's smile seemed to be frozen. Then she huffed, "Impossible!"

He couldn't be happier to divorce her, Maisy believed.

Though he had been nice to Aurora, Maisy could tell that it was only out of a sense of duty.

Aurora pouted, seemingly indicating that she should turn to Sion for answer.

Then she walked into her room despite Maisy's further reaction.

Watching her back, Maisy didn't collect herself until quite a while later. Then she made a call to Sion.

From her perspective, it was so incredible!

As soon as Sion finished his shower, he got a call from Maisy.

"Why didn't you go to divorce her?"

"I got something urgent to deal with…" he rubbed against his brows to relax himself.

Hearing that, Maisy seemed less worried, "What else could be prior to divorce? You gotta know what's the wise choice! Get it done as soon as possible! Then you will be free!"

Upon hearing that, he got sulky, "Mom, don't try to interfere. I can deal with my own business."

Maisy paused out of surprise when noticing his sulkiness. Before she could continue, she got hung up.

Sion threw the phone onto the bed and took a big gulp of liquor.

It must be Aurora who told Maisy about the divorce, he believed.

Perhaps she just convinced his mom to help prompt him to divorce before her patience was running out, he supposed.

She couldn't wait to start a relationship with that guy she had been expecting?

Or perhaps she couldn't wait to divorce for the sake of the guy she dated a few days ago in the mall?

…

Aurora paid a visit to the Carroll Manor on her own at the weekend.

Ariana gave her a jewelry box. Then she proposed, "Open it."
