CHAPTER 453 THE PHOENIX IS BACK TO THE NEST
Aurora stopped when Lydia threw that question our and turned out in shock.
Lydia was fuming, but there was something else.
Leo was standing aside with Emilia and he can see it was attachment.
She was moved by Leo’s words.
If there wasn’t love, where did hatred come from?
Love and hate were interchangeable.
Aurora got silent for a while and let out a wry smile, “Am I qualified to be your mother now?”
“Moreover, I’m infertile and you are just a fig leaf that I stole.”
“I don’t care about that!”
Lydia glared at her, “You got to be a mother then since you stole me! How can you call yourself a
mother if you just walk away now?”
Leo also stepped forward and smiled at Aurora, “Auntie Aurora, I wanted to asked that if you have ever
regretted your decision in the last twenty years?”
Regret?
Aurora was silent and her wry smile deepened.
Of course she greeted.
She hadn’t never been able to get a sound sleep in the last twenty years.
She can get through the day by chanting the sutra during the day, but when it was at night, her heart
burned with affection. Original from .
Leo stared at Aurora and asked, “I will ask it another way then. Are you able to let go of the secular
love in the last twenty years? Can you really bring yourself to shave your hair?”
Aurora got speechless being bombarded with Leo’s questions and was wooden.
Lydia’s eyes were all red and just stared at her.
Till when Aurora can look her into her eyes without guilt, the inner angry in her heart will then just
disappear.
After being silent for a while, Aurora landed her eyes on her inch-long hair.
Can she really bring herself to cut her hair?
Won’t she regret?
If she can shave her hair, she would really leave the secular life behind.
Her long hair also stood for her fixation.
“You don’t even have the guts to face your daughter, let alone Valenham.”
Lydia got irritated, “I will ask you again. Will you resume your secular life or not?”
Aurora froze and looked at Lydia woodenly.
Leo wore a wry smile, “Auntie, I was just like you and left her five years ago, so I understand your
suffering. I just gave up everything and came back for her and would undo the damage that I caused
with the rest of my life.”
“I was just a stranger to her before and was able to do this. As her mother, why can’t you do that then?”
Aurora’s eyes reddened and burst out crying.
“I will, I will!”
Aurora’s voice was shaking.
Leo was relived.
Lydia’s eyes got red and then suddenly turned around and went back to her room.
Aurora was still crying, but she suddenly let out a contented smile.
Leo stepped towards her and smiled, “Welcome back, auntie.”
Aurora was grateful and hugged Leo gently.
“Thank you, Leo.”
Aurora stayed at Lydia’s place for two days and though Lydia didn’t pay any attention on her, she was
much nicer to her.
Things were getting better day by day.
Aurora got to go back to Valenham the next day.
When it was at night, Leo was already in asleep and Leo smiled at Lydia, “Auntie is going back home
tomorrow. Aren’t you going to say goodbye to her?”
“Can’t you do that?”
Lydia answered lightly, “She is really fond of you these days.”
“No...”
Lydia meant to accuse Leo for buttering up Aurora, but Leo didn’t get her and just touched his head
shyly.
Lydia got annoyed, “Which side would you pick if we get into a fight in the future then?”
Leo froze and didn’t expect Lydia to ask this meaningless question and answered, “I will pick whoever
is reasonable.”
“Leo…”
Lydia got irritated and glared at Leo.
Leo begged for mercy hurriedly and said seriously, “But I honestly think that my mother-in-law is much
easier to get around than my father-in-law.”
Lydia sneered, “Well, you don’t know what she was like twenty years ago.”
Then she then went asleep.
She even hogged the whole quilt to punish Leo for not picking her side.
Leo then suddenly remembered that Aurora was the most gorgeous woman in Valenham twenty years
ago and was always the center of attention.
She was even more fierce than Lydia when she was young.
Leo let out a smile.
He didn’t get to see the young Aurora, but he was lucky enough to meet Lydia.
This was enough.
When it was just dawn the next day, Aurora meant to leave alone without alarming Leo and Lydia.
When she was just about to go out, Leo went downstairs and said, “Auntie Aurora, I will drive you to the
airport.”
Aurora paused and grinned, “Why are you up so early?”
Leo smiled, “I was in the army before and got up much earlier than now.”
“It was far to the airport. Let me drive you there.”
Aurora smiled and shook her head calmly, “It’s a lovely day. I want to take a walk.”
Leo paused and nodded, “Right.”
A journey of a thousand miles began with a single step.
They then walked to the airport side by side.
After resuming the secular life, Aurora changed into a white cheongsam and her whole vibe just got
totally different.
She looked graceful and elegant.
At the same time, she also cut some of hair which showed that she had accomplished part of her
yearings.
The pair soon arrived at the airport.
“I’m okay here.”
Aurora smiled at Leo, “I was a nun before and didn’t really get anything to give you. I will just give you
this bead bracelet as a gift.”
“This prayer beads have been with me for more than twenty years. This will help you afterwards when
you and Lydia go back to Valenham.”
Leo didn’t reject and grinned, “Thank you, auntie.”
Aurora shook her head, “I should be the one to thank you. You are a great man.”
“Let me know whenever you are in Valenham. You can also tell you if you have any difficulties. I got no
one to fear in Valenham.”
Leo paused and nodded, “Okay.”
Aurora gazed at Leo and then went into the airport.
Leo looked up and saw a rainbow hanging up in the sky though it didn’t rain.
He knew that Aurora would definitely cause a scene in the Valenham, after all, she was the lord of that
ancient city twenty years ago.
People hadn’t forgot her even though twenty years had passed, and she was still the king of royal
families in Valenham.
After sending off Aurora, Leo meant to go to the International Commerce Center.
Then he suddenly got a text from Sharon.
It was simple, but Leo got alarmed.
‘Dominic is still alive.”
