After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion)

Chapter 128 They Divorced At Last

Chapter 128 They Divorced at Last

Aurora didn't see Sion again after that conversation, so when he came to Bailey's ward with food for

three, she and Ariana who were just discussing what to eat stunned for a minute.

"I thought you were busy at work and wouldn't come by tonight." Ariana's eyes wandered between

them and suddenly lit up. "Anyway, I'm gonna eat at the dining room and get some fresh air. You two

eat here and care for your father." Quickly she took her share and ran away, regardless of how they

react.

It was a little awkward. Aurora wished she had promise Ariana to go home so that neither of them

would feel uncomfortable, at least she did.

"Let's eat." Sion opened the meal boxes and handed her a knife and fork. "Their food's not bad. Have a

try."

"Thank you." The smell of the food gave her an appetite, so she took them and started to eat slowly.

There was a silence in the ward. Until they almost finished, Sion said with every word distinct, "How

about we go to the court early tomorrow morning."

"Good."

No one said another word after that. Perhaps because they were well aware that this time was really to

end and they would ultimately take different paths of life. That's it.

Ariana came back and saw the two sitting on opposite sides of the sofa, each holding a cell phone and

ignoring the other. Was this, like, a bad conversation or no conversation at all?

"You two go home now and neither of you can say no. I've got this. Just go." As she spoke, they were

pulled off the sofa and pushed towards the door.

Aurora said resignedly, "Well, call us if you need anything."

"Of course, I will," Ariana gave her a stare and said, "Keep the cut out of the water, okay?"

"Got it."

They reached the Carroll Manor. Given that they were the only ones at home, there was no need

pretending to sleep in the same room. Sion took his clothes from their bedroom and said to her, "I'll

sleep in the guest room."

"Yeah," She stood aside with lowered eyes to make way for him.

Sion looked at the top of her head with lonely and deep eyes. A moment or two he went out of the

room. Aurora immediately closed the door, turned to stand against it, and had her hands over her heart.

She told herself, "Tomorrow… tomorrow we will be divorced."

The next morning, Aurora got ready to go and went downstairs while Sion were sitting on the sofa in

the living room. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Let's go now."

Sion stood up and looked at her with a frown. "Don't you eat something first? Breakfast is ready on the

table."

"No, thanks" she shook her head, "I'll go to the hospital to change my dressing and eat there with

Ariana."

He had cooked for her so many times, so she didn't want to eat the breakfast he made on their last day

in case that she would lust after those memories.

"That'll do." Sion did not insist. He straightened his clothes up and walked to the door. "Fine, then go."

The court had a lot more divorces today than last time, but they were early and first in line. The staff

found them familiar and looked them up and down. She finally asked, "Have you been here before?"

This might come as no surprise to them, whereas Aurora felt quite embarrassed. "We... Something else

got in the way last time." Sion, on the contrary, was okay with that, not showing even a bit of

discomfort.

"I see," The staff said while dealing with the computer, "Your marriage certificates, please."

Sion handed them over. Aurora found that she had forgotten what they were like inside, looking at the

certificates that she cherished so much that she would watch them several times a day early in their

marriage. And now... It was being returned and replaced with another one of the same color, except the

content is different and the person in the photos have also been changed from two to one.

"Why do you want a divorce?" the clerk leafed through the certificate and asked, "Is your relationship

really beyond repair?"

The question made a splash like a stone dropped into temporarily still water. For other couples there

might be an answer to it, however, since there was no love between them, the question itself meant

nothing. Aurora could not help glancing sideways at the man knitting his brows. Sion folded his hands

on the table and tapped the ends of his fingers together, where his eyes rest. It appeared that he was

getting impatient already.

Aurora turned her head. "We've decided." She had nothing to say about their relationship.

The staff looked up at the fine-looking couple, wondering why it was the woman did all the talking while

the man was mute. She darted a disapproving look at Sion, not wanting to persuade them. The woman

didn't have to be with a guy like that.

"Now that you've decided, fill out the forms and take a photo. Have you negotiated your divorce

settlement? You can print it over there." Patiently, the clerk handed over two forms.

"Thank you." Aurora took them and put one of them in front of Sion, then filled it out herself. He looked

at her serious expression as if she were taking some important exam. She wrote with such earnestness

that is seemed more like an interview than a divorce. It appeared to him she was really looking forward

to it. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

His grip on the pen loosened and tightened, over and over again. And eventually, he put pen to paper.

The sound of the pen scratching away on the paper irritates him.

Aurora filled it out carefully. When asked whether she was pregnant, she glanced sideways guiltily and

checked "No".
