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."
Aurora took it over and opened it, in which there placed a sapphire of superior quality.
Even a jewelry amateur like Aurora could tell that it must be luxurious at the very first sight.
"I stumbled upon this sapphire a few days ago during a travel with my friends. I just felt like it perfectly
fit you at the very first sight. So I paid for it."
Aurora carefully put away the box, "But Mrs. Carroll, it's too expensive for me to accept."
"Come on." Ariana then took over the sapphire necklace and put it on Aurora.
"Don't' be shy. Besides, it wasn't really costly. Even if it were, you should still have every right to accept
it."
Bailey also echoed, "You are part of the family. Here is your home. As your parents-in-law, it's part of
our duties to offer you some gifts. Don't get yourself concerned about the cost."
Aurora looked down at the sapphire. Mixed feelings surged up in her heart.
She had been fully aware that both Bailey and Ariana liked her from the bottom of their hearts.
However, now she failed their sincerities because she was about to divorce Sion.
Aurora cleared her voice and was about to tell them about her decision to divorce.
But then the door was suddenly opened.
It was Sion striding in.
Ariana was rendered rather surprised, "Sion?"
He cast a glance at her and then simply explained, "I return as soon as the seminar was finished."
Aurora averted her eyes. Obviously, it wasn't a suitable time to mention about divorce.
After a few seconds of chitchat, Bailey suddenly announced seriously, "Well, I got something important
to tell you."
Both Sion and Aurora looked over, for which Bailey seemed a little bit nervous, "About half a month
later, there will be the 20th wedding anniversary for me and Ariana. But it has been a pity that I didn't
offer her a decent wedding ceremony at that time. So I decide to seize the chance to make it up for
her." novelbin
"That sounds great!" Aurora smiled.
So did Sion, who also wore a rare smile, "Congratulation on your anniversary."
Bailey smiled and added, "Son, I want something more than oral congratulation. How about that? I
need both of you come to join in for the arrangement a few days before the ceremony."
Aurora's smile suddenly froze. Then she took a glance at Sion, who didn't pay a glance back.
After dinner, Sion and Aurora set off to their way home.
While Sion was driving, Aurora, sitting on the passenger seat, contemplated about how to start the
topic.
He noticed her scrupling from the corner of his eyes, for which he couldn't help clenching on the
steering wheel.
Then he cleared his voice and suggested, "I suggest we shouldn't be such a bummer before the
rearrangement of their wedding ceremony. We can divorce after they finish the ceremony. What do you
think?"
Aurora seemed a bit confused, "But we can go through the procedure first and then have them noticed
after the ceremony. Besides, even if we divorce, I will still attend the ceremony together with you."
Sion explained coldly, "But dad is keeping our marriage license."
Aurora fell into silence.
It seemed that it got held up once again.
Sion frowned, "They both like you. And they finally have something to celebrate. If we suddenly
divorce, they will definitely be disappointed. Is that what you want?"
Aurora still responded with silence.
She didn't continue until quite a while later, "Mrs. Carroll offered me a nice sapphire necklace."
Sion took a look at it. He could tell that it must be a rare kind of sapphire of top quality.
But he had no idea about why she would mention that. He kept on looking ahead to drive, "It fits you."
"You agreed with her in the same way." She smiled.
After a short pause, she compromised, "Well…we will divorce only after their ceremony.
Sion took a look at her, who was caressing the necklace with her hand while sitting still on the seat.
He then averted his eyes and suddenly smiled.
