Chapter 4 His Emotional Abuse
Elle got irritated by the affectionate atmosphere between them.
"What the hell?" she slapped on the table and continued, "You haven't divorced yet! He leaves you
alone while dating another girl? What's wrong with that goddamn two-timer?"
While speaking, Elle stood up in the madness and was about to rush over to them.
"Elle!" Aurora hurried to follow.
As short-tempered as Elle had been, she might probably stir up trouble.
Besides, the marriage between Aurora and Sion should be kept secretive. Thus, she couldn't let
Nevaeh notice that.
Aurora grabbed Elle's arm to drag her backwards.
"Hey, don't stop me. I want justice for you." Annoyed, Elle was determined to teach them a lesson.
In her point of view, her best friend Aurora couldn't be trifled with.
"Elle, you gotta chill. Let's talk about it later…" while she was dissuading Elle, a waiter suddenly came
over with some dishes on a tray, who accidentally bumped into Aurora from behind.
Soon, the dish of hot soup spilt all over her. She couldn't help exclaiming when feeling the burning pain
in her back.
"Aurora!" when seeing her face get twisted out of pain, Elle fell into panic. She hurried over to lift her
top to check. But soon, she feared it might look indecent in a public area. So she got some tissue to
clean the soup off her body softly.
She felt like crying in fear, "Oh my gosh, you are gonna get scalded!"
The noise caught the eyes of all inside the restaurant.
Nevaeh withdrew her hand and looked over there. Then she saw the backs of two girls in a fluster. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
After taking a glance, she returned to look at Sion again.
However, Sion fixed his eyes on Aurora. Something unpredictable seemed to be brewing within his
eyes.
Elle held Aurora's arm to support her up. She suggested anxiously, "Aurora, we gotta go to the
hospital."
She knew how tough Aurora had been. But now she could notice how much she sweat. Undoubtedly, it
was a burning pain.
"I am fine. I don't think it's necessary to go to the hospital…" Aurora happened to tilt her head to cast a
glance, which was exactly captured by Sion.
She felt like being frozen. But soon, she averted her eyes from his, overwhelmed with great
embarrassment.
She found it so embarrassing to get caught amid awkwardness at this moment.
When compared to them sitting together like a perfect match, she looked more like a fool.
"Elle…you're right. Let's go to the hospital…" Aurora gave a tug on Elle's sleeve to indicate.
Regardless of the pain in her back, Aurora hurried to run away from the restaurant.
When Nevaeh cast a glance over there once again, both Aurora and Elle had left. Thus, she didn't
even have a chance to see their faces.
Looking a bit disinterested, she looked back at Sion and was about to continue the topic just now.
However, Sion suddenly stood up to grab his coat.
It seemed that he was leaving.
Nevaeh was a bit surprised, "Sion, where are you going?"
After a short pause, Sion continued in a husky voice, "I got an emergency case to deal with. Sorry to
leave you alone for the dinner."
After that, he walked away without hesitation.
While watching his back fade away, Nevaeh frowned and started contemplating.
Meanwhile, Elle stared at Aurora reproachfully, "Didn't you just say you gotta go to the hospital? Why
are you telling me to go home right now?"
Aurora smiled awkwardly, "I am okay right now. It's nothing but mere pain in my back. I don't wanna
bother you. I can go to the hospital on my own and have you noticed with a few pictures after that,
okay?"
"Come on, don't play tough."
"Don't you worry about me! Trust me. I am fine. Just go home."
While speaking, Aurora pushed her into the back seat, "You gotta go home before your dad has you
grounded for being late again."
Though reluctant, Elle finally compromised and told the chauffeur to drive her home.
Watching the car leave, Aurora let out a breath of relief.
After what had happened today, she got to take some time to ease herself from the mixed feelings.
Checking herself all over, she felt like she just survived a junkyard. With her stained clothes, she
couldn't even hail any taxi that would like to give her a ride.
She clicked on the map on her phone to check the hospital nearby.
But then, a white BMW parked in her front.
As the window was rolled down, she saw an eye-catching jawline.
Her heart seemed to skip a beat. Sion should be having candlelight dinner with Nevaeh at this moment,
she supposed.
Sion reminded her when seeing her standing still, "What are you waiting for? Get in the car."
She licked her lips awkwardly. While clenching the strap on her handbag, she looked like a kid being
lectured. Frustrated, she opened the door to get in the car.
Soon, Sion started to speed up. She saw everything outside the window rushing backwards.
The air inside the car fell into dead silence.
Sion maintained a serious expression while driving in silence. Aurora felt that even the air was turning
cold.
Was he mad at her for ruining his date with Nevaeh?
Sitting on the passenger seat, Aurora slightly straightened herself up to avoid her back touching the
back of the seat.
She reached her hand to her back to touch where she got scalded. And, she got struck by sheer pain.
What a day of bad luck, she complained to herself.
At the thought of that, she felt like being overwhelmed with grievance and an urge to cry.
She slightly turned her head to look at Sion, whose straight face was highlighted by his clear-cut
jawline coupled with a sense of disinterest.
Elle was right about him, who knew how to resort to emotional abuse.
Aurora murmured, "Do I deserve to be slighted just because I ruined your date with your ex?"
As she just finished, Sion suddenly hit the brake to pull over, for which she lurched forward a bit.
"What did you…" when she was about to ask him what was happening, she saw him squinting at her.
While lazily laying his hands on the steering wheel, he turned to stare at her with his unpredictable
eyes, "What are you murmuring about? Are you complaining?"
Aurora hurried to shake her head.
Sion slightly nodded with an inconspicuous smile.
"Sit still and wait for me."
