After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion)

Chapter 5 The Man She Was Expecting

Chapter 5 The Man She was Expecting

While speaking, he opened the door and got off the car.

Not until he closed the door did Aurora collect herself. With her hand on her chest, she could feel her

heart beating fiercely.

From the very beginning, she knew she was overwhelmed by his enchanting appearance.

Her heartbeat would be running wild whenever she looked at his face.

Sion strode into a pharmacy.

He talked to a pharmacist at the counter, "I need an ice-cold bottle of water, some gauze, antiphlogistic

pills, a bottle of iodine and scald ointment."

The female pharmacist turned and blushed while staring at his face, "Oh…okay…"

She took over what he asked for and handed them to him. Then she took a few peeps at his face.

After paying the money, Sion took an impassive glance at her.

Seeing that, the pharmacist hurried to lower her head.

When he returned to the car, Aurora was leaning on the window to look at him with her innocent eyes.

She was touched and surprised when seeing what he was holding-it appeared that he was preparing to

tend her scald.

Just a few minutes ago, she thought he didn't even care about her.

Sion cast a gaze at her pretty adorable face in fair skin with her cute almond eyes. She looked as

young as a high schooler.

He couldn't help swallowing.

He cleared his voice and averted his eyes from her, "Turn your back on me."

His voice remained emotionless as if he were working while unwrapping what he bought.

She felt like he might even talk more softly to his patients than to her.

She turned her back on him as told. Then she could see how he worked on her back from the reflection

on the window.

She noticed even his fingers appeared perfectly long and slim.

Sion drenched the gauze with ice-cold water. Then he was about to lift her top.

He took a look at her instinctively. Then he noticed her curling herself up on the seat with her back on

him and her big eyes blinking while she was staring at him from the reflection in the window.

She looked so cute and obedient.

At the thought of that, Sion lowered his head and slightly lifted her top to cover the scald with gauze

drenched with cold water.

She had been so obedient and amiable that she never seemed to complain ever since they got

married.

Or perhaps he wasn't the reason for her to complain.

Of course, Aurora had no idea about what was on his mind. As soon as the scald was covered with

gauze, the pain started crawling all over just a second after the coolness.

She gritted hard to prevent herself from screaming.

Sion took a look at her face, feeling a bit sorry to see her struggling to swallow down the pain.

But luckily, no blister appeared on the scald. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

He hurried to slow down his move and stuffed something into her hand. Then he said softly, "Just

scream out if it's too hurt. No need to play tough."

Aurora spread out her hand. She was touched as soon as she saw what it was-it was her favourite

candy.

She unwrapped it and put it into her mouth. Soon, she felt so much refreshed, "Sweet."

The sweetness seemed to mitigate the pain.

Aurora smiled delightedly, "Thank you. I am happy to have a candy from you."

Did she like candy? Or was it because the man she had been expecting had ever done the same

thing?

Then Sion carefully applied some iodine on her waist. Then he took back his hand and leaned onto the

seat again.

He fixed his eyes on her radiant-looking face. Then he asked softly, "Are you still waiting for him?"

Stunned, Aurora fell into a short pause.

Waiting for him?

She didn't notice whom Sion referred to until quite a while later. Then she nodded firmly, "Yeah, I

believe he will be back."

Of course, he had every reason to be back, whom she relied on for years just like her brother. They

had been through a lot together for so long that their relationship had gone beyond those bound by

blood.

Even if he were to start a new life, he would return to visit her once again and pay a decent farewell to

this girl who was like his sister.

Sion slightly tapped on the steering wheel with his finger. Under the streetlight coming through the

window, his expression was hard to tell. So were his eyes.

His deep voice revealed no obvious feeling, "In the past three years of our marriage, you should have

told me about that much earlier."

Aurora took a look of surprise at him.

Suddenly, a sudden ringtone broke the silent air.

Sion took out his phone, on the screen of which Nevaeh's name appeared rather conspicuous.

He swiped to answer, "Hello?"

Aurora felt like it must be the very moment that she got the sharpest hearing ever in her life.

Though there was a distance between them, it was still close enough for her to capture every sentence

during their conversation.

Nevaeh's voice sounded a bit apologetical, "Sion, did I bother you?"

Sion took a look at Aurora, "No."

"Are you in the hospital? I am feeling a bit unwell. Could you write me a prescription?"

He seemed to show a bit of worry on his face. His voice was mixed with slight anxiety, "What's the

matter?"

He then switched his hand to grab the phone and buckled the safety belt. He asked seriously, "Are you

still in the restaurant? I am coming to pick you up."

With her head down, Aurora was fiddling with the buttons on her top while getting greatly disturbed by

upset.

As expected, he still cared about Nevaeh the most.

He even expressed more concern about Nevaeh than her being scalded.

Biting her lips, Aurora said nothing. If she looked displeased because of that, it would make her look

like she was being unreasonable.

"Just go for it if you got something important to deal with. I can go home on my own." Aurora pretended

to be fine and opened the door to step out of the car.

Sion suddenly grabbed her arm and handed her the bag of gauze and pills.

After gazing at her for seconds, he said, "Take it and be careful on your way home."

Aurora closed the door and saw his car leaving. Staring at the spinning tire, she felt like her heart was

being run over.

She told herself it was fine.

He left her alone just because he didn't love her.

On the contrary, he made no scruple to offer a hand whenever Nevaeh was in need because he loved

her.

It should be something common to understand.

But soon, there was something worse expecting her-it suddenly started raining heavier and heavier.

Soon, it turned into a downpour.

Aurora hurried to trot in the rain. Some of the raindrops went down her face and slipped into her mouth,

which tasted a bit salty.

It suddenly reminded her of the day when she fell into a crazy crush on Sion.

At that time, with her heart filled with courage, she especially asked for a leave of absence from school

and went to Sion's high school with a cake she made by herself, on top of which she painted a red

heart.

When she arrived at his school, she found there was a huge crowd hustling and bustling about on the

playground.

There might be someone making a public confession of love, she supposed.

Perhaps she could learn something from it.

At the thought of that, she pushed her way to the front.

But soon, she felt like being frozen.

It was exactly Sion who was involved in the love confession in the middle of the crowd.

In a white shirt and black pants, he stood still over there, looking cool and tall among the crowd.

Meanwhile, another tall girl was wearing a blushed face standing next to him. She looked eye-catching

with a warm smile while staring at him. The affection she showed in her eyes was conspicuous enough

to render others jealous.

Finally, surrounded by cheers, Sion reached out his hand from his pocket to hold Nevaeh's tight.

Then Aurora heard him saying, "Let's start our relationship today."

With his hand clutching at Nevaeh's, he walked past Aurora with his girlfriend without even paying her

a glance.

Meanwhile, his friends kept on cheering and joking to express their best wishes.

Aurora was the only one standing still while watching their back as they walked away, with mixed

feelings surging up in her heart.

She didn't even notice she had dropped the cake on the ground just like her heart shattering into

pieces.

At that time, she believed the girl who was going to marry him must be the most blessed one in the

world.

But now, she was left behind again just like in the old days.

Raindrops kept smashing into her body, for which she felt hurt.

She wrapped herself around with both arms and slowed down her pace under the effect of upset.

Perhaps the marriage was nothing but a mistake from the very beginning. She shouldn't have married

him just because of a few words from her father. She used to dream of love being gradually developed

as time went by. She used to believe the marriage could be used to trade for his love.

However, nothing changed as soon as Nevaeh returned.

So be it.

Let it go. Let him embrace his true love.

Aurora stopped, feeling exhausted.

The marriage was too tiring for her to continue. It was time to put an end to it.
