After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion)

Chapter 313 Albie’s Answer

Chapter 313 Albie’s Answer

Recently, Karen was detained for two days in connection with Nevaeh's case. However, with her

family's influence, it shouldn't be difficult to get her out. After all, she was only used because of her

ignorance and didn't have any malicious intent. Now that she had some free time on her hands, what

mischief was she up to now?

Aurora read the message and was a bit surprised. She didn't expect the text to be so rich in content.

Karen informed her that she and Albie were getting engaged soon and hoped that Aurora would attend.

Aurora couldn't believe it. From a sister's perspective, of course, she wanted Albie to be happy but

Karen didn't seem like a good match for him.

She thought about it for a while before swallowing all these frustrations down. Since Albie had made

his choice already regarding his love life, outsiders couldn't judge or interfere too much.

She decided not to reply to the message since if there were any congratulations needed they should

come directly from Albie himself. She had no intention of deepening ties with Karen even if they did end

up getting married.

Cameron noticed Aurora's worried expression.

"Is everything okay?" he asked concernedly.

Aurora raised her phone showing him the message from Karen saying, "Karen says my brother is

going to get engaged soon."

"Engaged?" Cameron looked surprised as he read through the contents on Aurora's phone screen. "I

heard about their engagement before but I never thought it would happen."

He continued seriously, "The Hayward family has been known for making business alliances with other

families like the Doyle family, is your brother willing?" He paused then added, "Being born into families

like ours often means we don't have much say in our own lives."

Aurora blinked then sighed softly, "Regardless of anything else though, since they've both decided on

this marriage, I should still bless them."

She felt these thoughts were just stereotypes anyway. If Albie wasn't willing himself, nobody could force

him into anything.

"Oh by the way," Aurora said suddenly changing topics. "I probably won't be able to go back to Halberk

anytime soon."

She looked ahead, her hair falling in front of her eyes, "At least I have to attend my Albie's wedding.

We finally found each other again after missing out on so many years because of Nevaeh. I can't miss

his wedding." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Cameron raised an eyebrow and silently agreed. He knew how important Albie was to Aurora. Even

during their five years in Halberk, she only cared about her brother's affairs. Growing up together made

them cherish each other even more as they grew older. He understood that.

"Did she say when the wedding is going to be?" Cameron thought he should prepare a gift in advance

since it was so important to Aurora.

"I'll ask my brother personally." Aurora turned her head and wavered her gaze. "This is a good time for

me to bring Theo back from Sion."

Cameron nodded without saying anything else.

The car had already stopped outside Crescent Group's factory gate. Cameron parked the car and

turned off the engine before turning his head towards her, "I'll take care of Theo so you don't have to

worry about him."

Aurora opened the door at the same time as him.

"That child has a big mind of his own sometimes, even I don't know what he's thinking," Aurora said

with a smile while shaking her head.

"So leave it to me." Cameron softened his expression when he thought about how clever Theodore

could be sometimes while walking inside, "Let men handle men's affairs."

Aurora laughed at what he said but couldn't help admitting that sometimes Cameron communicated

better with Theodore than she did.

"We'll talk about returning home after Albie's wedding."

After finishing up everything on hand, Aurora went looking for Albie.

She leaned against her chin curiously while looking at him, "Karen sent me a message saying that she

wants to send me an invitation card. But I think it would be better if you gave me your invitation card

instead, what do you think?"

"It doesn't matter," replied Albie, who felt bitter seeing how excited she was. He subconsciously tried

avoiding talking about this topic altogether. Aurora leaned forward with confusion and worry written all

over her face. She asked, "Are you going to marry Karen?"

Albie paused momentarily upon hearing this question. Endless pressure from his family came rushing

back into his mind, making him feel agitated instantly.

After some silence passed between them, he spoke softly, "Yes."

"Okay then." Aurora bit her lip and nodded. "Whatever decision you make, I support you."

Albie looked up at her, his gaze completely focused on the figure across from him. "But I can also

choose not to marry, unless..."

His eyes were almost overflowing with affection. Aurora felt uneasy under his stare and took a sip of

water. Could it be that he agreed to the arrangement because she rejected him? Aurora shook her

head and dismissed the unlikely thought from her mind. It was a little self-centred to think that way. But

Albie's gaze was so intense and passionate that it seemed like if she said "Don't get married", he

wouldn't do it.

However, she couldn't just say something like that casually. From beginning to end, Aurora had always

treated Albie as a brother in the family. She never had any other thoughts about him for even a second,

let alone accepting his feelings for her. Aurora's eyes flickered slightly as she avoided his gaze.

"Albie, marriage is a lifelong commitment. You have to think carefully. You don't have to rush into

marriage like this. Maybe in two days, you'll find someone you like?" Aurora sipped soup through small

mouthfuls while trying to persuade him further. She couldn't quite understand why they suddenly

decided on getting married when previously she didn't feel like Albie liked Karen all that much. He

seemed somewhat impatient with her at times.

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Albie helped served some fish onto Aurora's plate again after removing all the bones out of

consideration for her. He continued in a flat voice, "You don't need to worry about me."

Hearing this only deepened Aurora's worries even more. What did he mean by being so indifferent?

What happened between them?

She couldn't figure it out and sighed helplessly.

"If you're happy with your decision then okay, Albie."
