Chapter 27 He won’t come home tonight
The next morning, Aurora sent the ready-to-wear clothes to Nevaeh in the hospital.
In the consulting room, Nevaeh looked at the clothes, which were the same as that in the design
drawings shown by Aurora before. And the fabric felt good.
She texted Aurora, "Thanks a lot, Aurora. I love the clothes! Thanks for your effort."
After that, she made a transfer to Aurora, which was more than the balance of the order.
Very soon, she got Aurora's refund with the following words, "You're welcome. It's my job. I don't
charge extra money."
Nevaeh read the message and put on a straight face. She didn't insist but stared at the clothes on the
back of the chair.
After a short while of thinking, she bit her lips and decided to call Sion.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Sion. You got a minute?"
Sion put down the case file and said, "Yeah. What's up?"
"I've received the clothes Aurora designed for me. Can you come over and take a look? She said she
could do the alternation if necessary."
Sion tapped on the desk lightly with a pen in hand and thought about it before saying, "OK."
Nevaeh was in one of the new suits when he came over-it was a khaki business attire, which looked
special with Aurora's unconventional design elements on it.
"What do you think? Do I look good in it?" Nevaeh walked back and forth a little, looking forward to his
answer.
"Yeah. Nice!" Sion nodded. He always knew Aurora was the ace in her field, but this was the first time
he'd seen her work so closely.
"I think so." Nevaeh smiled confidently and picked up another dress, "I'll try this one on." Saying it, she
went into the inner room with the dress.
"Ah!..."
Nevaeh screamed out loud. Sion went over and knocked at the door, "Nevaeh, are you OK?"
"Yeah... One minute."
Soon enough, Nevaeh came out in a black dress, which didn't look dull and normal at all, with a unique
design and zippers on both sleeves. But, one of the sleeves was unzipped, and a blood stain could be
seen on her fair arm.
"What happened?" Sion frowned a little and took the Betadine out of the cabinet.
"I was scratched by the zipper..."
The zipper was hidden. She didn't see it and put her arm straight into the sleeve, and that made her
skin scratched by the sharp metal.
Sion sipped the cotton swab with Betadine and cleaned the wound for her carefully. Nevaeh couldn't
help to stare at him and took a picture of his side face shyly.
"Keep out of water. Wear something simple."
Sion advised simply and put the medicine back into the cabinet.
"It's a good design. I should have been more careful."
She was telling the truth. If she had zippered up beforehand, she wouldn't have been scratched. She
was in a hurry just now.
"Mm." Sion nodded and said, "Take care. I gotta get back to work."
Nevaeh watched him leave and couldn't help smiling. Then she lowered her head to look at the photo
which she had taken secretly. She thought it over and posted it on her Instagram page.
Arriving home early, Aurora felt much better after she finished Nevaeh's order and sent her the clothes.
She checked the time and guessed Sion wouldn't come home tonight. Well, it didn't matter. She'd been
used to being alone at night.
As usual, she opened the fridge and found some ingredients which she'd bought the day before.
Out of her expectation, Sion was back when she was about to make herself a simple dinner.
"Why do you come back early today?"
Aurora leaned out of the kitchen and glanced at the noodles in the pot.
She didn't make his dinner.
But Sion was looking at her, poker-faced. Finally, he asked, "Why did you do that design on Nevaeh's
dress?"
