Chapter 282 Aurora’s Suspicion

Chapter 282 Aurora’s Suspicion

"She said she knows a computer expert who can help with the investigation." Said Sion.

Aurora nodded and asked, "Have there been any updates on the kidnappers who took Morgan? It

seems like the police haven't solved the case yet."

"There hasn't been any news yet."

The kidnappers refused to talk. And Sion thought telling Aurora about this would only add more worry

to her plate. It would be better to wait until everything was clear before saying anything.

"Oh, I see," Aurora said lightly but felt a heaviness in her heart.

She thought Sion was hiding something from her. Could it be that he was working with those

kidnappers?

Initially, she thought that Sion wanted to uncover the truth himself before handing them over to the

police. However, it had been so long now without any answers or leads from him or law enforcement.

Perhaps those guys had already been released by him or taken somewhere no one could find. Aurora

felt anger rising inside of her.

"Are you sure there isn't any news?" She suppressed her anger and tried not to show it on her face as

she spoke accusingly, "I thought maybe someone intentionally let them go."

"I'll investigate thoroughly," Sion reassured her without noticing anything strange about how she looked

or sounded worried about Morgan. He continued speaking softly, "Once I find out what happened for

sure, I'll let you know right away so don't worry too much."

Aurora felt that she couldn't see through this man at that moment. And she was still puzzled by his

intention. Although Aurora deemed Sion a person who would accept responsibility for his actions, she

dared not hazard an answer.

"I just wanted some information regarding Morgan," Aurora said finally trying hard not to think too

deeply about everything else. She stood up and said, "Since there's no progress, I'll leave first."

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to control her emotions.

Sion quickly grabbed her wrist to stop her, "Aurora!"

She turned around in confusion and looked at him with surprise in her eyes. Sion realized he seemed a

bit anxious and calmly said, "Since we're already here, why don't we have lunch together?"

There was a cautious tone in his voice.

Aurora could feel his heartbeats through his palm. But she couldn't believe in this man now. She

instinctively wanted to refuse but then thought that if she wanted to get information on the criminals,

she had to get closer to him.

After some consideration, Aurora quickly made a decision. With a forced smile on her cold face, she

said, "Okay. I'm hungry."

As she spoke these words, she took a step sideways and accidentally avoided the man's grip on her

hand.

It took him a few seconds to respond. Sion's joy spread uncontrollably through his chest as all of his

low spirits disappeared instantly. He looked ecstatically at her and said, "I'll make reservations right

away."

He took out his phone and had David book them into one of the local French restaurants, which was

only fifteen minutes away from the company building.

Soon enough, Aurora and Sion were sitting face-to-face in an upscale private room. The location of this

room was cleverly placed so they could see outside, where they could view the cityscape under

sunlight. Everything wore armour shining brilliantly with dazzling light.

Sion thought that Aurora would like this place.

The food was served soon enough, but for some reason, Aurora didn't have much appetite. She ate

absentmindedly while thinking about how to extract information about the criminals from him.

Everything tasted bland inside her mouth.

"This foie gras is really good. Aurora, you should try it." Sion picked up some food for her while looking

intently at her face. He saw that something seemed troubling or bothering her, and felt puzzled by it.

However, he didn't think too much about it and continued to serve her food.

"Thank you," Aurora said as she looked at the mountain of food in her bowl, smiling slightly.

Just then, the waiter came in with a bottle of red wine. The deep red liquid swirled gently in the

decanter, reflecting a mesmerizing colour under the light.

Aurora suddenly had an idea when she saw the wine.

"Let me do it."

She said as she stood up and took the decanter and goblet from the waiter.

"We haven't had a drink together for so many years."

Sion was delighted that she was willing to chat with him. His eyes showed some regret as he replied,

"Indeed we haven't."

In the past, Aurora was always obedient and well-behaved around him, never showing any signs of

discomfort or unease. But now that Sion thought he saw her true self, being even more attracted to her.

Aurora smiled at him with shining eyes while holding out the decanter towards his glass. Suddenly,

however, it slipped from her hand and spilt all over Sion's suit instead.

"Oh no! I'm sorry..." She quickly put down everything on hand and rushed to help clean up with tissue

paper. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"It's okay," Sion said calmly while watching Aurora's face fill with remorse, feeling touched by her

action.

"Or... maybe you should go wash up in the restroom? The tissue paper won't clean everything off

completely but there is also a dryer machine there." Suggested Aurora.

"Okay." Sion wiped his suit jacket lightly before standing up from his seat. He smiled at Aurora before

walking towards where the restrooms were located.

Aurora watched his back until he disappeared. Then she stood up and picked up Sion's phone, which

was left on top of the table.

His phone remained black like always, carrying an air of heaviness within its texture just like its owner.

Aurora furrowed her brows slightly, wondering what kind of numbers would be used by Sion as his

password.
