After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion)

Chapter 110 The Secret Was Heard By Sion

Chapter 110 The Secret Was Heard by Sion

Unlike usual, Aurora didn't work overtime that day. She rushed to the house right after working hours. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

After all, she had overheard such a big secret of Bailey's pretending to be sick that morning. Aurora

thought it over and felt that she should have a good talk with Bailey and Ariana first. She wanted to

understand what was Bailey's original intention first and then decided how to tell Sion about it.

Ariana was helping the servant cook in the kitchen. When she heard the door slamming, she poked her

head out from the kitchen and said, "Oh, Aurora, you came back so early today. We'll be having dinner

soon!"

"Okay, Ariana." Aurora answer. After finishing changing her shoes preoccupied, she asked and

pretended it was a causal question, "Ariana, how is Bailey doing today?"

When talking about Bailey's illness, Ariana obviously felt a little guilty, so she avoided looking into

Aurora's eyes but sighed, "Oh... well, the same, he won't listen to me anyway." From the bottom of her

heart, she got tired of acting already. She really hoped that Aurora and Sion might quickly reconcile!

"I see." Aurora nodded thoughtfully.

After she changed her clothes, the food was already prepared and placed on the table. In order to

avoid meeting Sion, she pretended that she was really hungry and had to have the meal earlier than

usual. Then she went to the study to find Bailey.

Standing in front of the door, she took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on it.

Inside the room, Bailey coughed a bit and said, "Come in." His voice was clearly weak and sounded

just like a seriously ill person.

Aurora mumbled in her heart that he was acting quite well. Then she cleaned up her mind, pushed the

door in, and called him, "Dad."

"Aurora, why are you here?" Bailey put down the book in his hand, pressed his fist against his lips and

coughed again, "If you're here to ask me to have dinner, then you may leave now, I'm not hungry."

She nodded and stared at the man she respected always. She couldn't tell what she was feeling, and

she didn't know where to start. "Dad, how do you feel these days?"

"I felt the same." Bailey smiled weakly, covering his heart with his hands. He looked like he didn't have

much strength, "It's not too uncomfortable after taking the medicine, so don't worry. Dad is fine,

alright?"

Bailey always knew that Aurora only looked simple and easy to deceive, but actually, she was clever.

Fortunately, his acting skills were not bad, otherwise, she might figure it out already. He had to work

hard to act even now!

Aurora couldn't help bowing her head, feeling a bit helpless. If she hadn't overheard their conversation

that morning, she would never have imagined that Bailey, who was always serious and firm, would

pretend to be sick and act so well. She said, "Dad, I actually know everything about your cancer."

Bailey froze for a moment, then coughed again, "What did you say?"

Aurora didn't want the atmosphere of the conversation to be too rigid, so she walked up to him, and

helped him straighten his back to take a better breath. With a smile in her eyes, she said in a relaxed

tone, "I know Dad, you are not sick."

Bailey was speechless. He didn't expect Aurora to be so straight to the point, he looked a little

embarrassed, and subconsciously wanted to refute, "Aurora, what are you talking about? I have

cancer..."

Aurora interrupted him, "Dad, actually, when I went out late this morning, I overheard you talking to

Ariana."

Bailey caught his breath for a second. He didn't know that Aurora had caught them already. He felt a

little ashamed and flustered for a moment, after all, it was not decent for him to lie and be exposed by

younger people. He liked Aurora a lot and if it wasn't for her and Sion, he wouldn't have to make such a

bad move even at his age!

Bailey sighed. Since they had talked about it openly already, there was no point to hide it anymore. He

said, "Aurora, you know, I don't know what to do either. At that time, you and Sion were thinking about

divorce all day. I don't want to see either of you to get regret it! You are not happy with each other, but

marriage is not child's play, you can't just get a divorce once you suddenly think about it."

"Dad, I understand you are trying to help us." Aurora heard his earnest words, having mixed feelings in

her heart. As she thought, he was doing this for her and Sion. But what was the point of that? After all,

she and Sion were also faking it for the sake of Bailey and Ariana.

"Dad, no matter what happened, I know you are thinking about me and Sion. Thank you for your good

intentions." This thank you were sincere. She was thanking him for his efforts for their relationship.

Although it was a deception, it was also a helpless move. At the end, it was useless. For such a long

time, Sion was always thinking of Nevaeh, couldn't that explain everything? Aurora smiled wryly, "But

Sion and I really don't have any feelings for each other anymore. Even if you keep pretending to be

sick, we will still get divorced."

"Why?!" Bailey really felt heartbroken! The reason he objected to their divorce, apart from liking Aurora,

was mainly because he believed that they were suitable for each other. In addition, they had feelings

for each other! But now Aurora told him personally that they had no feelings anymore? How could he

accept this?

"It's hard to explain feelings." Aurora lowered her eyelashes and said softly, "If you don't like someone,

you just don't like it, right? It's hard to tell why."

Sion didn't like her, so no matter what she did, she couldn't make him change his mind. So she decided

to forget about it. She didn't want to like him anymore.

"Do you mean there is no chance for you and Sion to be together anymore?"

Aurora's heart stopped for a second, she nodded and answered, "Yes, Dad. I understand you are trying

to help us, but, originally, we also planned to get a divorce, the only difference was that we planned to

wait until you receive treatment and get stabilised. Now we would probably do that a bit ahead. I hope

you could understand."

Bailey frowned. He felt even worse than being really sick. His daughter-in-law had a pure and kind

personality, and he always took her like his own daughter. He sighed heavily, "It's all because of Sion,

that little bastard! He doesn't know how to cherish you at all!"

Sometimes onlookers might have a better sense of what was going on, but the people who were

involved couldn't see. For instance, Bailey could easily see that Aurora and Sion had feelings for each

other. But now Aurora obviously didn't want to be with Sion anymore!

Aurora also felt bad. It felt so good to be loved by others. Actually, compared to Sion, she felt more

reluctant to part from the warmth from Bailey and Ariana. But that wasn't what she should be greedy

for, "Dad, since we've spoken about this openly, would you please give us back our marriage

certificate?" Aurora thought since she had to leave them sooner or later, it was better to finish it as

soon as possible.

Bailey looked at the determined expression on her face. He understood that Aurora had already made

up her mind. He moved his mouth, "Aurora," and his words finally turned into a sigh, "I hope you can

understand that no matter what happens between you and Sion, I will always be your dad, and you can

come back to this family at any time."

Aurora's eyes were sour, and tears ran down her face, "Dad, since you are not sick, and Sion has

already taken over the position at the company, why don't you rest at home and pay more attention to

your health..." But she couldn't say more. The more she spoke, the sadder she felt. In the end, she

almost choked up and couldn't continue.

"Hey! I am in good health." Bailey was also moved by her and his eyes became a bit red too. In order

to hide his gaffe, he lowered his head and rummaged in the drawer, trying to find the marriage

certificates and return them to her.

Aurora was about to go over and help him.

At that moment, the door of the study room was knocked open by a strong force, and hit the wall

behind hard.

The two people in the room raised their heads together. Sion was at the door with a gloomy facial

expression. He looked like a volcano about to explode.
