Aurora had been feeling quite relaxed lately, even a bit idle. As she was getting ready to go for a walk on a nice day, she saw a silver Maybach driving towards her from afar. The license plate looked familiar and the man behind the wheel was visible.
Sion? What was he doing here? They hadn't been in contact for days and Aurora thought he had given up and moved on.
Sion glanced at her with complex eyes that seemed to contain thousands of words, as deep as an unfathomable sea. "Aurora, I want to try again," he said before turning around and opening the trunk of his car.
Aurora became even more confused about what he wanted to do next. When Sion turned back around, she was stunned by the flowers and toys in his arms. The flowers were normal but what was with all these toys? They were so abundant that they looked comical when paired with his tall stature.
"What does this mean?" Aurora asked hesitantly.
"These are for you," Sion replied as he handed her the flowers before looking down at the toys in his hands. "And these are for your son."
"I don't know what kind of things he likes yet but I will make sure to find out sincerely so that I can make it up to you both," Sion added while looking gently.
"So Aurora... will you not marry him?"
Sion didn't think that things had gotten so bad between them yet. Compared to her feelings for Cameron, they did have stronger feelings for each other during those few years together but just never spoke about it openly before now.
Aurora was taken aback by this unexpected turn of events after only several days apart from him. Could it be possible that Sion intended on treating Theodore like his real son? Even though technically speaking they already were father and son. She felt unsure whether she should feel surprised or touched by this gesture since there had been many misunderstandings between them previously, which led their relationship astray. However, now it seemed like everything might finally work out between them if they tried hard enough.
As all these thoughts raced through her mind, Aurora's heart began beating faster than before. She tried not to let herself get too flustered or affected by him, since she didn't want him to know how much power over her emotions he held right now.
"I don't mind, I will treat your child as my own and take care of him just like he's my son," Sion said firmly.
