Chapter 80 Aurora Was So Mean
Aurora went back to Carroll Manor with the food that she had got. She handed the chicken to the servant and went upstairs to get changed. She didn’t take the encounter with Maisy seriously and forgot about it very soon.
Sion came back from work, threw his suit jacket on the couch and frowned to question her, “You met mother today?”
“Yep…” Aurora was confused to hear his unhappy voice and put her phone away, “What’s up?”
“What have you done to her?” Sion said coldly.
He looked like he was questioning a criminal and Aurora couldn’t take it. Actually, she was still at odds with Sion, and they hadn’t made peace yet. But all at once, he questioned her like a criminal, which had pissed her off.
She put on a poker face and asked, “Fine. You tell me what I’ve done to her!”
Sion looked like he was tired of arguing, “You know what you’ve done! Don’t you know that she has slipped discs? Thanks to you, she has to suffer again!”
Aurora was stunned to hear that. Maisy had run away quickly in the supermarket and she looked perfectly well! Aurora thought she didn’t want to look for trouble and ask for insult. But it turned out that Maisy had called Sion and talked behind her back! What about the slipped discs? Did she have it again?
“Did you take her to hospital?” Aurora said with a straight face.
Hearing that, Sion frowned and said, “Don’t give me that attitude!”
“That’s my attitude!” Aurora glanced at him, “Don’t you wanna know how I ran into her?”
Aurora couldn’t help to be mad when she thought of what Maisy had told her. At first, she didn’t want to explain anything. Maisy stopped her in the supermarket and wanted her to do something with Bailey’s properties and will, but Aurora refused to interfere because she didn’t want to upset Sion. And that was how she pissed Maisy off. Moreover, Maisy fell over herself. She didn’t push her and it wasn’t her fault. It turned out that it was her wishful thinking only. She thought she was protecting Sion, but he just didn’t care and blamed her, instead.
Sion heaved a sigh and frowned, “What matters now is she got injured.”
Aurora mocked herself. Well, Maisy was his mother and surely, she was more important to him. Or maybe to Sion, everything was more important than Aurora.
“I’ve got nothing to tell since you put it that way.” Aurora leaned on the back of the couch, “All in all, I’ve got nothing to do with her injury.”
Sion stared at her, looking like he hadn’t expected her to be so stubborn and mean. Suddenly, he stepped forward to grab her wrist, “You should go apologize to her.”
“No way!”
Sion said in a furious voice, “Damn it! Aurora! You’re a grown-up! Can’t you just face up to it when you do something wrong? When can you be mature and act like an adult?”
Aurora was stunned. Unexpectedly, Sion had judged her. She knocked his hand off and snorted. But she was interrupted by his ringtone while she was trying to say something. Sion took out his phone, took a look at it and picked up. It was Nevaeh.
Nevaeh, who was sweet and thoughtful, was totally different from Aurora, who looked like a little angry gamecock.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“Hello Sion. Are you home?”
“Yeah.” He pulled the collar, rubbed between the eyes and sat down next to Aurora. He seemed to be tired out.
“I’m calling to tell you that I’ve taken Maisy to my place. She’ll stay with me for while. And I’ll take good care of her.”
Sion frowned, wondering since when they’d been so close, “I’m afraid it will be too much trouble for you.”
“Don’t be silly. We’re getting married and we’re a family. Maisy has injured her waist and it’s hard for her to live alone. I know you’ve been busy. It’s OK. You can come bring her home later.”
“Well, you can come stay with Maisy for a couple of days if you’re available. She misses you a lot.” Nevaeh paused and then added.
Aurora was sitting next to Sion, so she could hear every word of their conversation. For a second, she admitted that Nevaeh was much better. She pissed Maisy off and argued with Sion. On the contrary, Nevaeh was totally different from her.
Aurora sat next to him and listened to their loving “family” talk. For the first time, she wasn’t jealous or disgusted with it. Instead, she nearly burst out laughing. Who exactly was Sion gonna stay with? Who exactly missed Sion? How come she didn’t find Nevaeh such a fun person? She was really good at playing word games.
Sion stared at Aurora out of the corner of his eyes, and got annoyed instantly, “You should have discussed with me first instead of making your own decision.”
“Sion… Are you mad?” Nevaeh said cautiously and softly.
Maisy cut in before Sion could say a word in reply, “Sion, don’t be so mean. I insisted moving in with Nevaeh.”
“Mother, you should have told me first.” Sion said.
“Was that necessary? We’re a family.”
Maisy shouted as if she was telling someone besides Sion.
“Nevaeh is a doctor, and she’s thoughtful. I can’t see why you don’t want me to stay with her.”
“Listen to me, son. Nevaeh is a sweet girl. You must be lucky to marry her. Don’t ever screw up. She isn’t like someone who can do nothing but irritate and hit me!”
Aurora listened to their conversation and snorted quietly. Genes were magical. Like mother, like son. They were into the same type.
Hearing it, Sion was bothered, “OK, mother. Have a good rest. Nevaeh, sorry for the trouble. Call me anytime.”
After he hung up the phone, Aurora stood up and said as if nothing had happened, “I’m going downstairs for dinner. Ariana is waiting for us.”
Sion grabbed her hand and asked in a deep voice, “Even Nevaeh offers to take care of her. Don’t you think you should be guilty?”
Aurora turned around to stare at him for a while as if he was a stranger to her, then she snorted, “Why should I be guilty? She’s got someone to take care of her! She is staying with her perfect future daughter-in-law. Do you think she’ll care if I feel guilty or not?”
As expected, she had heard their conversation on the phone. Aurora was indifferent and sarcastic, looking like she had nothing to do with those names out of her mouth.
Sion stared at her sharply, looking like he was trying to hide his desperateness, and said coldly, “Why are you so mean?”
