Chapter 52 You Never Told Me That
Chapter 52 You Never Told Me That
Before she could finish speaking, Bailey waved to the guest from afar. He shouted towards the man without looking at Nevaeh, "Mr. Davidson! Long time..."
Then, he just went past Sion and Nevaeh as if he didn't see them. Bailey was sullen, wondering if Nevaeh had any idea of what she was doing! Didn't she know she was acting like a bitch who tried to steal others' husband? It was totally absurd that she had come to the wedding! Sion was going too far!
Ariana, who was left behind, saw Bailey leave like that and felt kinda of embarrassed. She smiled at Nevaeh and said, "That's who he is. Don't take it to heart."
"It's fine. Mrs. Carroll." Nevaeh forced a smile and said.
Sion remained silent with his hands in the pockets, as if he had nothing to do with all these shits. To some extent, Ariana thought they were very much alike. Like father, like son.
But what could she do? Nevaeh was a guest. She smiled and said, "We've got lots of cakes and drinks over there. What would you like, Nevaeh?"
Surely, Nevaeh wouldn't blow the chance to bond with her. She smiled and began chatting with her. But Sion just glimpsed at them carelessly and said nothing. He looked around but couldn't see Aurora. What happened to her? She'd always been a punctual person.
A moment later, Aurora finally made it to the hotel. She got out of the taxi and ran straight into the hotel. But the security guy stopped her as she dressed like a slob and looked like a mess.
Aurora tried convincing him and showed him the group photos of Ariana and herself, "Look, this is the bride, right? I'm not lying. I'm family."
In the end, the security guy let her in. Aurora trotted until she got to the gate of the banquet hall. Then she slowed down, sighed with relief and went in.
Some of the guests noticed her disheveled look and began gossiping. Nevaeh was having little chats with Ariana at that time. She heard the noise and looked back. She was taken aback when she saw Aurora "Oh! Aurora!? What are you doing here?"
Ariana and Sion heard it and looked towards her as well.
What Aurora was wearing was totally ragged and inappropriate! Her pretty face was stained with dust and dirt. Her dress had been torn off and she'd put on jeans instead. But she had broken the jeans when she climbed down the water pipes. She just looked like a refugee!
Sion looked at Aurora surprisingly and frowned. What had happened to her?
Aurora wasn't in the mood of dealing with the gossips around, because she hadn't imagined Sion would bring Nevaeh to the wedding. In fact, she was trying to apologize for being late, but she just bit the words back. She knew she looked like a mess. But Nevaeh looked so gorgeous and she made a cute couple with Sion.
It took Ariana a while to realize what happened. She went up to Aurora, took her hand and asked with concern, "Oh dear Aurora, what happened? Are you alright?"
Aurora shook her head and looked at her to confirm she was fine.
Nevaeh went along and looked at them with confusion, "Mrs. Carroll, you know Aurora?"
Ariana glanced at her. But Aurora pinched her lightly when she was about to speak, and cleared her throat, lowered her eyes and said, "I'm Mrs. Carroll's god-daughter." What? God-daughter? Ariana looked at her unbelievably, but she got her the next second. She knew Aurora didn't want Nevaeh to know she was married to Sion. "Yeah... right." Ariana nodded and said, "Aurora became my god-daughter two years ago. I didn't tell people about that."
Aurora heard it and sighed with relief.
Nevaeh was suddenly enlightened and asked with concern, "What happened to you, Aurora?"
"I fell down on the way. No biggie." Aurora said awkwardly. She couldn't tell everyone that she'd been locked in the room by Sion's real mother and escaped by climbing down the water pipes. Hearing that, Ariana was worried. She took Aurora's hand and left, "Come with me, dear Aurora. I have some dresses in the restroom. Let's go get changed."
Undoubtedly, Aurora couldn't wait to get out of there. She nodded at Nevaeh and went upstairs with Ariana, and she didn't pay any attention to Sion from the beginning. Undoubtedly, she didn't know Sion had heard that she introduced herself as Ariana's god-daughter.
All at once, Sion pulled a long face, and stared at the hold in her jeans. Aurora left with Ariana, and Sion began doubting her words. It was impossible that she fell over and ended up looking like a mess like that. She could fool others, but not Sion, who knew it was an excuse only.
Aurora and Ariana went out of sight. Nevaeh seemed to be in thought and turned to Sion, "What a coincidence! Aurora happens to be Mrs. Carroll's god-daughter. You never told me that."
