After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion)
Chapter 176 His Only Love

Chapter 176 His Only Love

Sion walked into the yard in heavy steps. He was like a tree withering in a world of solemnity all at once.

It was so painful for him that he already felt numb about it.

The yard was decorated with white flowers. People who came in black were mostly her colleagues, classmates, and seniors close to Professor Robertson.

This scene was depressing.

There was Aurora's photo right in front of Sion. She got a big smile on her face with vigour in her eyes.

Sion stared at her eyes in that photo without saying anything, like he was making eye contact with her from two different worlds.

Nevaeh walked back to him after putting down the flowers for Aurora.

"Sion, are you alright?" she asked worriedly.

Sion ignored her while staring at that photo, immersing himself in his feelings. He wanted to ask Aurora in person where she had been.

He wondered if she could hear him out about what happened back then; he wonder if he had the chance to express his gratitude and tell her his secrets and stories she hadn't heard; he wondered if he had the chance to give her the presents he owed her for all those years; he wondered if he would be allowed to make up for her with a happy marriage without misunderstandings and another baby as she wished; and he wondered if they could stay married and he would make it up to her with all his love.

To let her go was the last thing he would do.

Due to the days of drinking and tiredness, Sion stumbled as if he would faint any minute. Nevaeh hurriedly held him and made him lean onto her.

"Sion, you don't look well..."

Sion pushed her away and said coldly before she finished her sentence, "Mind your own business."

Then he turned around to leave, looking so devastated since he failed to soothe the pain inside for losing his only love forever.

Nevaeh seemed to know his feelings and she was glued to the spot. Tightening her fists, she felt a strong sense of loss in her heart. But now the girl had been eaten by sharks, probably. Nevaeh could only evilly comfort herself with that horrible truth.

The sky seemed to pity that poor girl and it got cloudy. At the end of the funeral, it started to drizzle. Everyone was in surprise as Aurora's death was so abrupt.

This funeral had tapped a quite big disturbing trend in the business. People watched the two heirs of Doyle Group and Carroll Group, two giants, falling apart. Albie was still sensible, luckily, while Aurora's death had a marked impact on Sion.

Word had it that Sion didn't quit, and he had those searching guys keep looking for Aurora in the river a month later. And he just didn't listen to anyone who came to persuade him, which made many people sac about this.

"How long are you gonna be like this?"

Seeing that her son was drinking again in his room, Maisy felt terrible. She didn't understand what Sion saw in Aurora, nor did she expect that her son would have missed that girl so much since she had been considered dead a long time ago. He seemed like a regular guy during the day but would become a total mess after getting home.

Sion looked at the moon out of the window with darkness in his eyes, "Mom, just go home."

Aurora hadn't been getting along with his mother and wouldn't want to see Maisy if she got back. Sion was willing to give up everything just for her to come back.

Maisy was a bit upset at first. But she was still worried about seeing him like this and wanted to stay longer, "I'll leave later."

Sion didn't reply to anything. He couldn't help but immerse back in his feelings and thoughts with the red wine in his hand refracting the moonlights like a diamond. Had it been a mouth already?

But there was still nothing about Aurora yet.

Sion washed down the whole glass of wine. He couldn't taste anything but the bitterness at heart.

A whole mouth was just gone. But his pain of losing her didn't get alleviated. And he still hurt so much at the thought of her.

Was that the punishment she gave him?

He looked into the distance like a soulless puppet.

"I don't get it. Why are you so upset about it. You married her just because you had promised your teacher, didn't you? You didn't even like her. She can't see you falling apart like this now that she's gone..." Maisy mumbled a lot and didn't notice that Sion's look had worsened.

"Look, she's dead. Don't dwell on the past."

"Mom,"

Sion interrupted her in a sad voice. Maisy turned around and saw her son smashing the glass on the table with a furious look.

"Who told you I didn't like her? There's no body yet. I won't believe that she's... gone." He couldn't say the word "dead" out loud, so he said "gone" instead.

Maisy was stunned by his reaction for a while.

"You like her?" Maisy was surprised to hear that, "How's that possible?"

Maisy rolled her eyes with a bad feeling.

"What about Nevaeh?"

She preferred Nevaeh to be her daughter-in-law, anyway. Then she thought Sion should move forward since Aurora had gone away.

Sion raised his head while frowning with a sharp stare, as he could see right through Maisy, "I'll deal with her myself. Don't waste your time on this." "What are you saying? Do you wanna be with a dead woman for the rest of your life?"

"I said she's still alive!"

Sion's voice suddenly got loud.

"The only one I love is Aurora. And I'll wait for her till the day I die."

Maisy got shocked when she heard his determined words. And it was the first time she had realized that she didn't know her son well.
