Chapter 291 Can You Give Me a Chance?
Theodore was feeling nervous in his mom’s arms.
According to the way Aurora said, he thought she must be angry.
“Mommy…”
Morgan had already told him that she has found an excuse to call her “Mommy” so that he could also shout out openly.
“I miss you so much, I miss Mommy every day.”
After speaking, he rubbed Aurora’s neck with his head. Seeing this, Sion said, “If you miss Mommy, I can bring you to see her more in the future.”
Unlike his usual arrogant self, Sion looked like an ordinary husband and father, looking at them with tenderness and love in his eyes.
“Is that okay, Aurora?” Sion asked.
She felt uneasy when he looked at her like this and staggered his gaze.
“If there’s time.” She said
Upon hearing her answer, Sion felt hopeful and smiled brightly, leading them into the restaurant.
The theme restaurant of the aquarium was just under a large fish tank. They could see all kinds of fish swimming from above when they looked up. Transparent jellyfish are swimming over them, making it a romantic scene.
This was Theodore’s first time being in an aquarium, and he was so excited that he forgot to resist as Sion picked him up.
“Mommy, look!”
He pointed at a strange fish and said, “How ugly this fish looks!”
Aurora and Sion were both amused by his tone, and for a moment, a joyful atmosphere was rendered in the air.
Aurora looked at the harmonious reflection of the three of them on the glass and was momentarily stunned.
“Eat something first.” Said she.
She stopped her spreading thoughts in time.
Theodore was originally enthusiastic, but when he saw Aurora, he was a bit stunned. It was only then that he realized that he was laughing in the arms of his scumbag father. So he struggled to pull away from Sion immediately.
“Mommy,”
Looking down at him with concern, Aurora saw this little guy with a pleasing expression on his face. If he had a tail, he would surely be swaying with joy.
She rubbed his head and said, “Let’s go.”
Sion didn’t notice anything unusual between them as they seemed close together; instead, he felt warm inside thinking.
“If Morgan likes here, we can go see dolphins after the meal or play with dolphins together,” Sion suggested.
“Do you wanna go?” he looked at the boy and asked.
Theodore wanted badly but subconsciously glanced over towards Aurora, afraid that his mom might not be happy about it. Aurora knew what he was thinking and said helplessly, “Let’s finish eating first.”
Theodore grinned from ear to ear and forgot how much he hated Sion. He instinctively held their hands, one on each side, and led them to their seats.
Sion’s gentle gaze fell on the little boy, then he saw Aurora’s face. Her expression softened, not as cold as when she treated him alone. Sion hoped that this moment could continue forever.
Theodore walked in the middle, bouncing around. For some reason, he felt like today was a bit happier than before. Even looking at Sion didn’t seem so annoying anymore. Aurora looked at Theodore’s cheerful back with mixed emotions. She didn’t know why Theodore would be willing to stay by Sion’s side when he hated him before.
But from today’s situation, she had a bad feeling that Theodore might end up liking this man more and more as Morgan did. What if he didn’t want to leave Sion? She didn’t know for sure but needed to send him out of the country as soon as possible.
They finished their meal without incident. Sion took care of Theodore while Aurora barely intervened. Watching the man skillfully take care of her son made her emotions even more complicated.
“Are you full?” Sion wiped his mouth slowly and said warmly, “If you’re full now let’s go see dolphins?”
Aurora drank water while watching Theodore playfully respond, “I’m full!”
The boy had never seen dolphins before; he was now eager to go see them. Sion wiped his mouth. After drinking some water, Theodore said, “Let’s go now!”
Watching their interaction made Aurora unable to help but laugh.
Wasn’t Sion supposed to be smart? Why wasn’t there any suspicion towards Theodore?
She thought this man was kind of silly.
Sion and Theodore walked ahead without noticing Aurora’s reaction.
A staff member smiled and looked at Theodore’s cute little face as he explained patiently, “We can only allow one person to interact with the dolphins here. Dolphins are also children, and they get scared when there are too many people around.”
Theodore turned his head to look at Sion and Aurora. “Mommy,”
He couldn’t make up his mind about what to do.
“Do you wanna go?” Sion crouched down to meet Theodore’s eyes. “Go ahead.”
With Sion’s encouragement, Theodore’s face lit up with a bright smile. Then he glanced at Aurora, who accepted the expectation in his eyes and nodded her head. “Of course, go ahead.”
“Yeah! Daddy, Mommy, I love you!”
Theodore blurted out this sentence almost unconsciously before realizing that something wasn’t quite right. He awkwardly turned around and went inside with the staff member.
At this point, only Aurora and Sion were left on the observation deck. The spacious venue was occasionally filled with sounds of water from below. This ocean-themed restaurant was aimed at the rich. There weren’t usually many people here.
Theodore had already been taken backstage by someone else to change clothes, while Aurora didn’t know what she should say to Sion for a moment. Her gaze wandered around her surroundings.
“Aurora,”
Sion broke the silence. He moved two steps away closer to her until their arms were almost touching each other’s side by side.
Aurora looked at him briefly before reaching up to tuck some hair behind her ear. “I’m happy that Morgan can return beside you.”
Once she sent Theodore overseas later on, there wouldn’t be any chance left for him to be the kid again.
“I’m happy too,” Sion said smilingly while looking into her eyes. “Not just because Morgan returned beside me but also because you’re returning beside me too.”
Aurora lowered her gaze, hiding all emotions within herself. And she happened to see the remarkably short distance between them. They were standing so close as if they were a loving couple.
“Mr Carroll,” she finally spoke out, “I don’t know if you think it wrong about our relationship.”
When she looked up again, she had a distant expression on her face. “I think we’re just friends at most. I only have pure feelings for Morgan.”
Sion didn’t get angry and chuckled lightly. “I know.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Can you give me a chance to take our relationship further?” he asked.
