After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion)
Chapter 237 A Proposal

Chapter 237 A Proposal

With the thought coming to her mind, Aurora saw a man walking toward her in the distance.

Albie was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, the chasing light shedding a shaft of light on his high-fashion suit, as if he was a prince ready to welcome his lover, walking towards her step by step in the presence of everyone.

Aurora's heart was pounding away in her chest and she began to panic. At that moment, she understood what Albie was going to do. But, how could it be allowed? Albie was her brother, although he was not her brother by blood.

"Aurora,"

Albie had already walked up to her. It was all tenderness on his face.

"You do not know how long I have waited for this day. Yeah?" began Albie, "I know you've experienced a lot, hurt a lot, but I will be by your side, protecting you and loving you, in the following days. You're as important as my life."

"So, will you stay with me forever?"

Draped with light, his deep eyes were full of love on his flawless face. People could feel his love which had been hidden for years, and his sincere affection and excitement while confessing his love. "Say yes! Say yes!..." The scene was in an uproar.

Aurora felt her heart tighten while racing madly. However, that was not a sense of happiness but because of anxiety and pressure. If she said yes, it would also be a deception that would hurt Albie. She always considered him her brother, and there was no other feeling.

"Albie..."

Her lips moved slightly when she was hesitating how to answer. Albie was standing still while he gripped the bouquet tight secretly as if he had known what she was about to say.

He tried hard to maintain the warm smile on his face, and he stood obstinately still, waiting for her to speak.

"Ever since I was little, you've always been the one to protect me and keep me company. I sometimes feel that you've taken the place of my dad, like a little elder."

"I'm grateful... that you've always been there for me."

"But..."

Aurora paused for a moment, went up to embrace him, and whispered, "For me, you are like my real brother, only a real brother will never leave me, right?" Maybe she was selfish.

But she was afraid that Albie would leave her for good because of her refusal.

Albie had imagined this result before, but he realized he could hardly bear the pain in his heart when he was rejected by his beloved.

The one he loved did not love him.

He got a thousand words to say to her, but all of them were blocked in his heart by her words, "You are like my real brother".

So, if he was still her brother, could he stay by her side forever?

"Yeah." Said he, in a hoarse voice, while looking at the ground.

In the end, his word was washed away by the sound of the audience. Albie did not know how he said that word.

Aurora did reject him.

However, he was glad he had taken this step. He could always be her only brother.

Aurora sighed with relief at his answer and glanced at the crowd that was still up in an uproar. "Albie, let's go home."

She thought they could go back to the way they were, but for several days since the proposal, she hadn't seen Albie at his office. Aurora felt somehow upset. Perhaps, it was hard for them to go back to the way they used to be.

Aurora sighed and decided to leave him alone for a while.

Since that day, Albie had been drowning his sorrows in alcohol all day long at home. The strong wine did not ease the pain in his heart.

He wondered whether things would be different if he had not been away from her in the past five years.

Remorse had paralyzed him, making him tend to avoid all news from the outside world.

Probably in the eyes of the public, he had now the laughingstock of the city.

Albie lay on the ground in despair and passed out drunk.

The video of Albie's proposal was all over the Internet and the city was abuzz.

When Kyla watched the news, she got furious. As his fiancée, she in no way would allow Albie to propose to another one. So she went to Aurora's office in a huff. "Aurora, come out here!"

Kyla slammed the door with a loud bang, and others were startled and looked at her.

Anna followed behind her, looking embarrassed.

Aurora saw her and knew what she came for.

"Kyla?"

"That's me!"

Anna sprinted forward and asked Aurora, "Queen, shall we call security?"

She was much more alert since Maisy came to mess up with them at the company last time.

had become conditioned to this kind of people who stirred up trouble when they came. And she also complained about the receptionist who failed to stop Kyla.

"No." Aurora waved her hand at her, "She's from T-shine, you can go out first."

Anna glanced at Kyla a look worriedly before she left. But she didn't close the door completely this time.

"Hmph, do you feel ashamed too?"

Kyla walked up to Aurora arrogantly, "Yeah, who would have expected that the famous Queen would be such a shameless person!"

Aurora looked at her, composed as if she was looking at a clown. She probably knew why Kyla had come to her.

"And what about you?" She sneered, "You barged rudely into someone's office during working hours?"

Kyla appeared more agitated, "You interfered in my relationship with Albie, how can you justify being a mistress?

"Are you married? Or did Albie admit that you are his girlfriend?" asked Aurora.

Aurora didn't care about anything else as long as she had made it clear to Albie. And she decided to teach Kyla a lesson.

"We're engaged to be married. His parents recognize me!" Kyla's face turned red with anger, "I warned you last time, but I never thought you would be so shameless! You don't have a man anymore, and you have to pester him!"

"You're the one who's been pestering him, aren't you?"

Aurora felt that Kyla is not worthy of her brother.

"Seriously, I envy that you're strong. Why didn't you die of shame?"

It took Kyla a few seconds to respond.

"Bitch! I'm going to fight you today!" huffed Kyla.

She was on the point of sprinting forward to hit Aurora when the door suddenly opened.

"Yo! Look a little busy!" said a woman.

Aurora looked at the door, and she was completely stunned.
