Chapter 229 She Has a Son?
Theodore was smart enough to understand right away and nodded his head nicely, “I see, Mommy.”
“That’s good.”
Aurora kissed him gratefully and turned around to turn on her computer.
At dusk, the sky was hidden beneath a veil of clouds, and the mild flame stretched to the far end, making the romantic streets of Fuglon attractive in a congenial way.
Aurora arrived at the award ceremony on time, wearing a high-fashion dress.
Many people who knew her identity came up to greet her and take photos with the legendary designer, Queen, and some of her fans came to ask for autographs.
Aurora responded with a smile until the staff asked her to go to the waiting room. Then she turned around and left with the staff.
On the podium, she was like a queen laden with honours, enjoying the applause from the stage.
While waiting for the award, suddenly, a figure caught her eye.
She looked carefully, finding that Sion was at the judges’ table below.
How could he be here?
Aurora suddenly figured out the reason for all this.
However, Carroll Group did not have many relations with the fashion industry. Now it turned out that Sion Carroll was involved in a wide range of businesses.
“Miss Queen, you’ve been looking at Mr Carroll. Do you know him?”
The host saw Aurora staring at Sion and asked curiously.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
She should be a local since there was a faint local accent in her tone, which was noticeable if you listened carefully. While asking the question, she appeared curious with her eyes full of a strong sense of gossip.
The people below heard her words and also followed the coaxing.
Aurora smiled, “The famous president of the Carroll Group, of course, I know. I’m just curious, why is Mr Carroll at the Time Gold Medal ceremony?”
Time Gold Medal was the name of this design award, Aurora only thought of it as an ordinary award in her daily life, but she didn’t expect to bump into Sion as a judge.
Was it by chance or intentional?
The host didn’t hear any gossip and was a little disappointed, then smiled openly, “You may not know, Mr Carroll is one of the Time Gold Medal sponsors, so he has the right to participate in the judging.”
Aurora raised an eyebrow, “So that’s it.”
Then she chuckled, wondering what Sion’s purpose was in suddenly sponsoring this award.
Her gaze met the man’s for a second, and then she looked away as if nothing had happened the next moment, but she was distraught inside.
Sion had just gone through a corporate crisis some time ago, when he had enjoyed a wonderful turnaround in a short period, and reorganized Carroll’s direction of development. It seemed that he was going to do something in fashion.
With the thoughts in her mind, Aurora cast a glance at Sion. No matter what he hit on, she just hoped that he would not bring her on the line.
The host asked many more questions about design, and Aurora answered methodically, with a confident face that seemed to make her more radiant.
Sion looked at her from below and couldn’t help but keep a softer look on his face. Aurora was the brightest star in the sky for him, and the only shining star in his heart.
Soon after, the host began to introduce the judges and it was time to present the awards.
Sion buttoned up his suit and was about to go on stage when suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
He glanced at the host on stage who hadn’t finished yet, so he took out his phone and glanced at the screen of it. Sion thought it was a work message, but he was startled at the sight of a picture the next second.
Aurora was in the picture, and there was a little boy with her. He could see Aurora with a mask, revealing her soulful eyes. She was holding a child in her arms, whose face was almost covered with a mask and a hat, and she was kissing the kid’s face. Sion could even feel a flood of a mother’s love through the screen.
He had imagined this picture a lot, but now, everything was different from what he had been longing for.
Soon, there came a text message, saying “Can’t believe it, the one you’ve loved for so many years has long forgotten you. She even has a child with someone else abroad.”
Sion frowned. It was from a strange number he did not know, and it was a foreign number. But the person who sent the message seemed to know what he cared about. At least, the photo and this text message set off no small storm in his heart.
His heart was aching.
What exactly was this person’s purpose?
And was the message true or not?
With this question, although he did not want to admit it, he had already got an answer.
That photo didn’t look like a composite one. If that was not her child, how could Aurora kiss that kid so affectionately?
Putting down the phone, Sion appeared kind of gloomy. But he only spent a few seconds calming himself down and then got up to walk to the stage.
On the stage, Aurora looked at the man who was getting closer and closer, with no mood fluctuations in her eyes.
The host saw that Sion had walked up and dutifully started a conversation.
“Next, we have Mr Carroll presenting the award to Queen. I wonder if Mr Carroll on behalf of the Time Gold Medal has any words of congratulations to say to Miss Queen?”
Then, the host handed the microphone to Sion.
Sion took it and turned his head to look at the radiant woman next to him with complicated eyes, “She has always been excellent. I wish her the best of luck and a promising future.”
The words were said in a serious way, but the audience heard a hint of ambiguity from them. And their gazes at the two of them became meaningful.
Aurora felt his words were sarcastic.
Now he admitted that she was excellent, which was quite another thing compared with what he had done to her.
She faked a smile to face the audience, after all, there were many cameras before her. If in private, she would have turned away. She couldn’t put up with his words of hypocrisy.
While she was faking a smile, Sion gave her a gentle hug and leaned in to whisper in her ear, “Aurora, congratulations.”
His voice was like an electric current in this noisy environment, but it didn’t flow into Aurora’s heart.
“Thanks to Mr Carroll, my trophy might not have been this valuable if it wasn’t for your sponsorship.”
Sion laughed though he knew that was a kind of sarcasm, since he loved everything about her for his love for her, even a joke she told.
Aurora resisted the urge to roll her eyes and turned her gaze to the side.
The host smiled knowingly and raised an eyebrow at the two of them, “We are nearing the end of the award ceremony, what about taking a photo with Mr Carroll alone, Miss Queen?”
“After all, it’s a great honour for us to have you as our award winner.”
Aurora wanted to refuse at first, but before she could say a word, the man beside her smiled and said, “That’s for sure, my pleasure.”
She could only force an embarrassed smile.
