After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion) novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Pay a Visit

It was getting dark when Aurora returned home.

After she took a shower, it was 9:00 PM.

Under the dim light in the living room, it felt desolate and empty.

Sion hadn't been back.

Absent-minded, Aurora leaned on the couch while rubbing her hair to get it dry.

She couldn't help wondering if he was still with Nevaeh.

She didn't think writing a prescription would take a few hours to finish.

It seemed to be long enough for both of them to do whatever they wanted.

While woolgathering, she started feeling sleepy. So she slept on the couch overnight.

She was woken up by chillness the next morning.

She slightly patted on her head with both hands, trying to ease the headache. But it failed.

What was worse, the bang of the headache was getting stronger.

Nothing changed. Sion had stayed out for the whole night.

After washing herself up, she took some pills. At this moment, Sion happened to return.

As he closed the door and turned around, he stumbled upon her staring at him.

Soon, they both looked away.

"Didn't expect you to get up so early."

Aurora sat down at the furthest corner of the couch and nodded. Then she remained silent.

Sion walked over to stand at a short distance. She appeared a bit displeased probably because she got up on the wrong side of the bed, he reckoned. So he didn't pay much attention to the reason.

"You gotta pack things up. Today we are gonna go to the Carroll's."

"Okay." Aurora nodded. Though still dizzy, she managed to walk into her room.

The Carroll family had been well-known among the upper class in Sisland.

Carroll Group, built by Sion's father, Bailey Carroll, from nothing, had been significant in the business world, to whom Aurora reserved the greatest respect.

Bailey had divorced Maisy long ago, after which he married another lady named Ariana Knowles.

From Aurora's perspective, she found the couple rather amicable.

Not to arise their worry about Sion's marriage, Aurora managed to well behave herself whenever she paid a visit.

She picked a white dress to make herself look decent and gentle, which exactly fit the occasion to visit an honourable elder.

However, as soon as she reached her hand to her waist, it hurt a lot, which made it difficult for her to zip up.

After struggling for minutes, she found the zipper stuck in the middle.

Sweating, she had no choice but to call for help, "Sion…"

"What's the matter?"

"The zipper got stuck. Help me with it." Aurora pointed at her back awkwardly.

After that, she turned her back on him, on the surface of which a sliver zipper got stuck in the middle. Meanwhile, her fair skin and red scald were exposed between the gap of the zipper.
