Chapter 204 A Surprise
The crowd stood in awe.
Aurora calmly stood on the staircase, looking casual and at ease.
"Welcome to Crescent's banquet, I am the chief designer, Queen."
Listening to her self-introduction, Sion's heart twitched with pain. The guests, however, seemed more
interested in that the legendary designer "Queen" was a lady, and from the accent, a complete Lower
Hopton native.
Why hadn't they know anything about her?
"If 'Queen' is from Lower Hopton, why was she abroad for so many years?"
"She probably was ashamed of her hometown, or simply wanted to get famous and all glamorous
before coming back."
"Does she have any rich background? The Crescent Group gave her a lot of green lights if you ask
me."
They didn't know Aurora personally, and the only few who were familiar with her were so stunned that
not a sound could be uttered.
Cory, who was beside Albie, was looking at her incredulously.
When Doyle returned to his business in Lower Hopton, the job of finding Aurora Robertson fell on him.
So he knew well what Aurora looked like.
"Didn't she already pass away five years ago?" Cory was a bit overwhelmed inside.
Now she became one of the most famous designers, with the international group, Crescent, as she
supported. Nothing could be expected.
What had happened all these years? Was this coming back from the dead, or was the death faked?
Albie looked dazed as well.
A deafening ring was in his ears, and his vision blackened out except for one person.
Aurora turned out to be alive, but he was treated as a stranger to her.
Was it a joke just because he had not picked her up five years ago when she was at the worst of her
times? He wanted to tell her, this joke had gotten too serious. After these five years, he had finally
accepted the fact that she had gone somewhere else, somewhere far. Every year, on the day she had
passed, he would take a day off work to bring her favourite chocolate hazelnut cake and sit by her
grave a whole day.
And now, Aurora was just a few steps away, glowing with success.
Albie suddenly remembered the day that he heard the news of the Queen's return. He was looking at
the half-eaten chocolate cake in front of him and thought, had Aurora still been alive, she would have
been the best designer in history.
Now she already had made it.
Albie smiled with mixed feelings and mumbled her name. She couldn't hear him from this far away, but
long time no see, it was only polite to do so.
Cory was relieved to see at least something came from his boss. He went back to continue to gawk at NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
the come-back-the-dead lady in the front.
Aurora scanned the crowd. She greeted and nodded to one person after another, and then out of the
corner of her eye, she saw Albie and Sion.
She averted their eyes but looked at Morgan standing beside Sion, feeling somewhat unbelieving.
"How could Sion bring Momo here? It was like announcing the child's identity to the whole world. Is he
not afraid of Nevaeh's misunderstanding? Or did he find out the identity of Momo?" Aurora had a lot of
questions in mind.
Then she forced herself to calm down, thinking that she had given birth to the two children in Cameron
Dawson's private hospital so it was not that easy to investigate this. Even if Sion had found out the
truth, he would not be a threat to her anymore.
"Miss Queen, I've heard so much about you!"
"Welcome back home! Now the domestic economy is getting better, it is wiser to stay than go abroad."
"Truly unbelievable. Queen is so young and talented, I think it's about time we old guys can step down
and let the future do the work."
People who were close to her couldn't wait to talk to her, and Aurora had no choice but to reply
respectfully.
"It is very kind of you to say that, Mr Perry. I often follow the domestic news, and you have shown up
way more than I have."
"Yes, unless there are important matters, I shall not leave anymore. Mr McCarthy, if you have any good
business projects, please contact Crescent!"
"You flatter me, Mr Pattinson, your experience and knowledge are very valuable to us."
Sion looked at the woman as she talked her way between these old fogeys. She had changed so
much. What had happened in the past five years? He felt as if he was in a dream, with no one else but
the presence of that lady.
Morgan sat next to Sion while staring at him, she felt a little agitated. Daddy seemed to be in a bad
condition. She was afraid to disturb him, so the only thing that she could do for the time being sat
quietly next to the assistant. Wringing her hands, little Morgan kept her mind spinning at a thousand
miles an hour.
"Mommy doesn't look like she was going to get back together with Daddy. What should I do to let
Mommy know how good Daddy was?" Morgan was thinking. Then she patted her head and peered
closely at every corner of the room.
There was no sign of Theodore.
Morgan let out a breath because she was relieved that her brother would not come to ruin the party
today. If he did, their Mommy would get angry with them.
Aurora had just finished talking when she turned and saw Morgan, and she gave her a small smile.
Morgan hurriedly turned her head to look at Daddy next to her. She couldn't go to her Mommy now. If
Mommy took her away, there would be no way of getting her parents back together.
Thinking of this, Morgan averted Aurora's eyes and started to play with the sequins on her clothes.
Noticing that Aurora looked in his direction and smiled, Sion felt nervous, with his heart racing fast
uncontrollably.
When Morgan averted her eyes, Aurora's gaze instantly cooled down and she ignored the man who
was looking at her hopefully.
Indeed, it was not a good time to bring Morgan by her side. The party was crowded, and there was no
way she would reveal Morgan's identity to be known to everyone.
"Miss Queen, are there any surprises you have to bring tonight to us?" The host had come up again at
some point and interviewed her curiously.
Aurora collected her thoughts and said, "Sure, there is a surprise for everyone."
