After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion)

Chapter 300 The Necklace

Aurora realized that her son might be outside alone. Out of concern, she called Theodore.

Theodore was hiding behind a tree in the green belt. He glanced at his vibrating phone watch and

answered with a smile, "Mommy!"

Hearing his voice, Aurora's previous gloom disappeared. She couldn't help but soften her tone and

asked, "Baby, are you following him? Are you alone now?"

She hated that man, especially when he was still having an affair with Nevaeh. It was thus impossible

for her to allow her two children to be close to him.

"Yup. I'm alone," Theodore replied. He realized that his mom would be worried about him being by

himself and quickly added, "Don't worry Mommy, I'll protect myself and be careful of bad people."

Aurora felt relieved after hearing this.

"Where are you? I'll come pick you up."

Theodore panicked for a moment when he heard this offer. While keeping an eye on the entrance of

the building, the boy quickly changed the subject, "Do you miss me, Mommy?"

Aurora knew that he was avoiding her question.

"Of course I miss you! Tell me where you are so Mommy can come get you."

Theodore hesitated for a moment before responding. He couldn't leave yet since he had been looking

for a chance to show Sion something. He couldn't give up so soon; otherwise, he wouldn't have any

opportunity to come back for his revenge on his dad.

"It's okay Mommy..." Theodore trailed off as he moved away from the phone watch slightly, pretending

not to hear her properly anymore.

"I have a bad signal here... Mommy?" The call ended abruptly as expected leaving Aurora feeling

helpless on the other end of the line.

Aurora knew his tricks.

After hanging up promptly, Theodore focused on the residential building in front of him again,

wondering which floor Nevaeh and Sion were on right now.

But that was not a problem for him. The little one started to operate his phone watch and pressed a

button with a smug expression on his face.

Nevaeh didn't expect Sion to show up at her door. She was excited and quickly welcomed him in.

"Sion, would you like some water or juice?"

She had dressed up especially for this moment of alone time with him. Last time they had an

unpleasant argument but this time she was prepared not to mess things up again.

Sion's eyes lingered on her outfit for a second before looking away. He stayed cold all the time. "No

thanks, where's the evidence you mentioned earlier? Just give it to me."

Nevaeh felt deflated for a moment but quickly regained her spirits and poured him some water with a

smile. "Don't worry about that now, we haven't sat down together like this in such a long time! Let's

catch up."

She believed that Sion still had feelings for her from their past experiences together during an

earthquake years ago. If it weren't for Aurora coming into their lives then maybe they would have been

married by now. All she needed was for Sion to remember those old feelings and he wouldn't be so

indifferent towards her anymore.

Sion furrowed his brows at her words.

Their past was based solely on that one earthquake experience years ago and since then he had been

consumed by grief over losing Aurora, never paying much attention or having any emotions towards

Nevaeh after that incident.

If their past was just based on misunderstandings then there wasn't anything worth catching up about

between them now.

"We don't have anything worth talking about." He said coldly as he looked back at her.

Nevaeh listened quietly before placing the glass of water down on the table next to him and sitting

close beside him.

"Sion, I know there were many misunderstandings between us but I've been waiting all these years just

hoping you'd come back..."

"Nevaeh," Sion interrupted impatiently as he stood up from his seat, "I think your misunderstanding is

quite deep when it comes to me because I don't recall doing anything out of line."

He always spoke clearly without any ambiguity or hidden meanings behind his words. Ever since he

found out that the person who saved him during the earthquake was Aurora, he made it clear to her

that he had no romantic feelings for her. But she seemed to ignore his words and constantly bothered

him. If it weren't for their past friendship, he wouldn't have tolerated her behaviour.

When Nevaeh heard his words, it felt like a knife had sliced through her heart. She had worked so hard

to stay by his side for so long. And yet, this was how he thought about her.

But even with all of this, asking her to give up on him was easier said than done. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

At this moment, Sion's voice sounded cold and emotionless as if discussing work with a business

partner, not even as warm as when talking to a business partner.

Nevaeh looked at him and felt chills run down the back of her neck. She dug deep into her fingernails

and forced a smile.

"Okay, I'll go get it for you. Don't be angry."

She cautiously glanced at him before walking towards the utility room.

Sion watched as she walked away and furrowed his brow. Her persistence exceeded his imagination.

He thought they could be just friends but now it seems impossible.

Sion turned on his heel towards the balcony.

Nevaeh would probably take some time looking for what he needed; he wanted some fresh air anyway.

The view from this house was great-almost all of the neighbourhood could be seen from there. The

slight breeze blowing in made even direct sunlight less hot.

Sion breathed out slowly before suddenly noticing something reflecting off in the distance from where

flowers were hanging.

He walked over but froze in place before reaching out.

Lying silently next to that flowerpot corner was an elegant rose gold diamond necklace shining brightly

under direct sunlight.

That was the one he had prepared for Aurora. It held a special meaning behind its design, which only

Sion knew about.

But why did it appear here?!

Didn't someone steal it?
