Chapter 16 A Kiss?
Stunned with her eyes wide open, Aurora didn’t expect her to come to Sion so late.
Nor did Sion expect that, who looked a bit flustered.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
No one knew what was on his mind. He actually grabbed her arm to lead her into the bedroom. Then he closed the door.
While she was facing the door blankly, Sion said to her outside the door, “Stay quiet.”
He didn’t open the door for Nevaeh until he took a deep breath.
Nevaeh still looked pretty even in casual outfits.
She smiled at him, “I was just wondering if you were home.”
Noticing that his expression still remained unchanged, Nevaeh seemed a bit hesitant, “Did I just bother you for not having you noticed beforehand?”
Sion stepped aside to invite her in, “Don’t worry. It’s okay.”
Then he led her into the living room.
As she walked in, she looked around his apartment decorated in simple style based on black, white and grey, which she found pretty new. It was her first time to drop by.
Nevaeh smiled, “Your apartment looks like a prototype for those real estate agents.”
She could tell from the very first sight that it must be a guy living here. Every inch here was decorated in simple style and cleaned spotlessly. She could barely find any unnecessary furniture or decorations within this area, not even any potting.
Hearing what she said, Aurora, who was hiding inside the bedroom, smiled wryly.
As the legal wife of Sion, she felt like acting like a mistress at this moment.
Now she actually hid herself in the dark with all lights off inside the room.
But Nevaeh didn’t seem to notice any sign indicating that Sion was actually living with another girl.
As soon as she walked into the living room, she saw Avada coming over from the balcony.
“Harry?” Nevaeh rushed over excitedly. She gave him a warm hug and kissed on his head, “Harry, mommy is back! Do you miss me?”
Though she was staring at the dog with tender eyes, she actually wanna ask Sion if he missed her as well.
Standing still, Sion didn’t seem to notice what she meant.
But soon, Nevah noticed that Avada didn’t seem excited about her arrival. What was more, he didn’t even recognize the name of ‘Harry’.
Sion cleared his voice and then explained, “His name has been changed into Avada.”
Actually, it was Aurora who changed his name.
Nevaeh’s smile seemed to freeze for a second.
Then Avada broke free from her hug and walked past her. While sniffing, he slowly probed forward.
Frustrated, Nevaeh still remembered the dog used to enjoy staying with her. But now he changed a lot.
Seeing the dog probing, she looked a bit confused, “What is he looking for?”
He didn’t seem to look for food. Instead, it seemed that he was searching for his owner.
But Sion was just standing there.
He fixed his eyes on Avada, who had been lingering around the door of the master bedroom. Then he called him over and showed him a toy.
“He got a diarrhea a few days ago. Perhaps he’s a bit down at this moment.”
“Okay. Actually, I have been missing him these years…” Nevaeh nodded and sighed.
Obviously, she was still indicating something about her feelings.
She missed Sion more than the dog.
Sion poured her a glass of water, “If you miss him, you can bring him home for a few days.”
She was rendered a bit frustrated, wondering if he still failed to notice what she was indicating, “Actually, I had been rather pessimistic during those days when I was receiving treatment in another country. I didn’t think I could survive it.”
But then she smiled like a lucky survivor, “But, whenever I thought about the dog, whenever I thought about you and those happy old stories, I felt like being inspired.”
Sion frowned. But Nevaeh simply lowered her eyelids with her head down. There seemed to be tears brewing within her eyes, “Luckily, I managed to survive it. I was so afraid that I couldn’t meet you again.”
Upon hearing that, Sion somehow felt a bit suffocated. He said seriously, “From now on, just tell me if you are in need. Learn to ask for help, okay?”
Her heartbeat couldn’t help running wild as soon as she heard of what he said.
Except for Sion, she had never fallen for any other guy in the world.
While staying inside the bedroom, Aurora found it too frustrating to hear their whole conversation with her eyes turning tearful.
For all these years, she had been fully aware that she could never get his love. So she had decided to give up since a long time ago.
However, she still wondered how came she hadn’t been numb about all these, for which her heart still ached.
She could tell Nevaeh must be feeling something much different-she must be surrounded by happiness given by Sion, Aurora believed.
…
Nevaeh only stayed for a while. Then Sion walked her out of the building.
It was late at night. There were only two of them inside the elevator.
Nevaeh looked into the mirror, from the reflection of which Sion and she looked like a perfect match.
At the thought of that, she couldn’t help smiling.
As they walked to the portal, where Nevaeh parked her car, she looked at him, seemingly reluctant to leave, “Well…I gotta go…”
“Okay.” Sion nodded and added, “Take care.”
A ray of streetlight shed upon his figure.
While staring at him, Nevaeh felt like struggling.
As she turned around and took a few steps forward, she suddenly looked back and walked over to face him after she mustered up enough courage. This time, she repeated the question to which she failed to get the answer last time, “Sion, may we start over and be together?”
Meanwhile, Aurora was looking down at them from the window. While she was staring at this romantic scene, mixed feelings surged up in her mind.
She still stayed inside the bedroom in case Nevaeh returned unexpectedly.
Even she herself failed to figure out why she stood in front of the window at this moment.
What was more, she actually expected Sion’s answer.
How ridiculous!
Start over…what a nice proposal! He would probably agree, she supposed.
However, Sion kept silent for quite a while.
Out of a kind of instinct, he raised up his head to look at the window of the master bedroom of his apartment.
However, he could see nothing but darkness, from which he couldn’t tell what Aurora was doing.
He then averted his eyes and looked at Nevaeh’s serious face, which he found hard to answer.
Nevaeh was rendered a bit more nervous by his silence.
Biting her own lips, she literally reached over to kiss him.
