Unpredictable Betrayal : A Sweet of Revenge

“Aurora, everything’s settled. So, when are you coming back?”

That night, after having dinner together at both of their parents’ residence, Asher deliberately contacted Aurora. He wanted to convey the news of the progress regarding Savana’s issue, which had now been resolved well.

Asher and Elenna seemed impatient. Hoping that after this, Aurora would decide to return and live a normal life as before.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why? Do you miss me?”

Asher laughed. Wanting to evade because of pride, but the truth was he did miss his sister.

“Well, just say so. Besides, it’s pitiful for Mom to be lonely every day because she can’t go to the mall, the salon, and sleep with her daughter. Just so you know, Dad becomes the victim of Mom’s nagging.”

Laughter could be heard from the other end. If asked if she missed home, Aurora would definitely be longing to return soon.

“It’s only been a week. Weren’t you planning to go for a month?”

“Insane!” Asher rolled his eyes. “I’ll deduct your salary at the hospital in full without any leftovers.”

“It’s okay,” Aurora replied casually. “I’m already rich anyway. And if I’m short, I can just ask Dad.”

Asher sighed. His sister never ran out of words to answer him. Besides, Aurora was right. If they ran out of money, what’s the harm in asking their father?

“But…” Asher started again. He paused for a moment, which made Aurora curious.

“But, what?”

“The other day, Alden’s mother came to see me at the hospital.”

“Alden’s mother?” Aurora repeated to confirm. She was sure her ears didn’t deceive her. “She came to see you for what?”

“Well, at first, she apologized. She said she felt guilty and uncomfortable because she had asked you to stay away from Alden for a while.”

Asher told Aurora everything. He explained all the intentions and purposes behind Zendaya meeting him at the hospital that day.

“I realize I’ve made a huge mistake. I should have listened to Alden’s words to be more patient. I should have supported all of you instead of asking Aurora to stay away. That’s why today, I apologize.”

Asher, who had been listening all this time, simply nodded in understanding. He didn’t judge and tried to think positively because Zendaya might have wanted to protect Alden from the gossip of many people.

“Don’t worry about it, Ma’am. The most important thing is that the problem has been resolved. Everyone knows who’s really at fault. And, I’m sure Aurora has forgiven and understood Mrs. Zendaya’s request from the beginning.”

Alden’s mother nodded.

“But, may I be allowed to meet with Aurora? I know, it seems presumptuous of me. But, I want to apologize to her in person.”

At that moment, Asher looked at Zendaya with utmost seriousness. It was clear from her face that the middle-aged woman felt guilty for what she had asked Aurora before.

“I’m sorry…” Asher said softly. He shook his head, responding to Zendaya’s request. “I can’t help and grant Mrs. Zendaya’s request to meet or inform her where Aurora is currently.”

“Really can’t? Poor Alden. He must be suffering because he doesn’t know where to find Aurora.”

“If you feel sorry, why did Mrs. Zendaya separate them in the first place?”

Zendaya sighed deeply. She realized she had made a huge mistake. Because she was too selfish and only thought about other people’s words, she sacrificed Alden’s happiness, even though he had clearly asked for a chance.

“I am indeed wrong and sinful. That’s why I want to apologize and persuade Aurora to come back soon. If necessary, I will ask Alden to propose and marry Aurora immediately.”

Asher smiled.

“Even if they truly love each other, they can’t get married that quickly, Mrs. Zendaya. It’s worth noting, at the moment, Aurora needs time for herself. So, let’s just respect her decision. Later, when she returns, Mrs. Zendaya can meet her directly. Talk and apologize as you wish.”

Aurora laughed at the conversation on the phone. She had to give a thumbs up to her brother for giving such a clever answer to Zendaya who wanted to meet her.

“Enough already. Let me be calm and enjoy my solitude for a while. I’ll definitely come back when I get bored, brother.”

“I know.” Asher immediately responded. “But, don’t take too long. Feel sorry for your patients. If you disappear for too long, Alden might get taken away by someone else.”

“Let it be!” Aurora replied casually. “If it’s meant to be, it will be, right? Even if it’s really love, he’ll wait for me. Besides, this is only temporary, not for years.”

Asher, who was now laughing, couldn’t argue with that.

“Alright then. The important thing is for you to take care of yourself there. Take care of your health. Let me know when you’re ready to come back.”

After contacting Aurora, Asher told Elenna and Joshua everything he had discussed with Aurora over the phone.

Since it was late, he bid them farewell and intended to go home.

However, when he opened the door, Asher was surprised. In front of his parents’ house, he found Nicole suddenly appearing, and he had no idea what her purpose was.
