Ian and Aurora had headed downstairs to meet Sean. Sean had to meet a client earlier that day, andhe happened to pass by Ian’s housing area on his way back to the company. Although he had hisguard up with Ian, he didn’t have any bad intentions toward Ian. He wanted to meet Ian to talk abouttheir plans to visit Bryce.
Although Sean hadn’t asked about Aurora when he called Ian, Aurora wanted to go along to meetSean. Sean parked his car at the side of the road near Ian’s housing area, and he made his way to acafé nearby. He had just taken a sip of his drink after ordering a pot of tea when he looked up to seeIan and Aurora walking in together. When Sean first saw Aurora, he froze for a short while. He didn’thave anything against Aurora. It was true that Aurora and Bryce had an extramarital affair that neitherof them was proud of, but Bryce had already been a disloyal husband even before that. He had fooledaround with tons of women. Aurora wasn’t the first or the last—she was merely one of his manywomen.
Sean had spent most of his time in the hospital with Alice when she was extremely ill. Back then, mostof Bryce’s women had assumed that they had the chance to overtake Alice’s position in the family, and
some of them had even sneaked into the hospital to cause a fuss. However, Bryce had gotten rid ofmost of those women ever since. Sean couldn’t recall the women who had visited the hospital backthen, but he was certain that Aurora hadn’t been one of them. He wasn’t especially fond of Aurora, buthe didn’t hate her since he knew that she hadn’t visited the hospital at that time.
When Ian saw Sean in the café, he led Aurora over to Sean’s table. Sean narrowed his eyes andstared at Aurora for a few seconds. The last time I saw this woman, she had gotten into an argumentwith Bryce, and she sent Ian over to Morgan Residence. She left Ian there without any hesitation. Fromwhat I remember, she wore a grim expression that made her look threatening. I recall thinking that shewas pretty charismatic. Yet, time seems to have left its mark on her—she no longer looks like the fierywoman I once knew. It seems like she has been through quite a lot of hardships since then. She looksgentler and kinder now—perhaps she’s changed after going through the mill.
Aurora felt a pang of guilt when she saw Sean. She gave him a smile. “I hope you don’t mind meinviting myself over.”
“Please take a seat.” Sean nodded.
Once Ian and Aurora sat down, Sean called for the waiter. They ordered some desserts. If it had justbeen the two men at the café, a pot of tea would have sufficed. However, Sean felt like he had to ordersomething else since a woman was around.novelbin
