Chapter 51
Savana seemed to waste no time in holding the wedding ceremony for her beloved only son. Just five days after officially becoming a widower, today she escorted Alex to marry Nicole, making her his lawful wife as a replacement for Aurora.
Held in a multipurpose hall, many guests were present. Most of them were from families, relatives, and a few close friends.
The international-themed wedding party lasted until the evening. When the event was over, Alex immediately took Nicole and Savana back home.
However, as they entered the mother’s residence complex, the three of them were surprised. Along the way to the house, they found flower arrangements sent to them, the messages of which infuriated Savana.
Instead of receiving congratulatory flower arrangements for the wedding, Aurora sent condolence flowers for Alex and Nicole’s wedding.
“Condolences for the wedding of a wicked couple.”
“Congratulations on entering a new hell for the adulterous couple.”
“Congratulations on starting a new life for the seductive man and woman.”
Savana growled angrily as she read each message written on the flower arrangements. When they arrived, she found Aurora’s car neatly parked in front of her house.
Savana hurried inside. As she suspected, Aurora was already sitting waiting in the living room with her cousin, who was also her lawyer.
“Aurora! What do you mean by sending such flower arrangements?” Savana couldn’t contain herself. She approached Aurora, who seemed relaxed in her greeting.
“I didn’t mean anything. I just wanted to keep my promise about sending many flower arrangements to celebrate Alex and Nicole’s wedding.”
Savana growled again. Her eyes stared at Aurora with a glare of annoyance and extreme anger. She hated that Aurora still seemed to enjoy mocking her.
“Enough, Mom. Don’t indulge her.”
From behind, Nicole appeared. Still wearing her wedding dress, she approached Savana and tried to calm her down. “Aurora is like this because she’s jealous of Alex finally marrying Nicole.”
Aurora suddenly laughed. Her ears tingled hearing Nicole’s nonsense.
“Oh dear, Nicole, who’s jealous?”
“You. Who else? If you’re not jealous, why bother sending all these flower arrangements? Can’t move on? Can’t accept that Alex finally chose me over you?”
Aurora lifted her index finger. Smiling, she shook her head. “Who can’t move on? If you’ve forgotten, I’m the one who filed for divorce from Alex.”
“So, why are you still seeking attention like this? You intentionally want Alex’s attention, right? If not, why bother visiting? I’m sure deep down you can’t stand seeing Alex getting married again. Especially marrying a woman who’s better than you.”
Once again, Aurora laughed. She felt extremely annoyed seeing Nicole on her high horse. It’s okay. Aurora would let her cousin ramble on. When the time came, she swore she would silence Nicole and make her unable to argue anymore.
“I’m sorry, Nicole. No need to overreact. I’m not seeking attention, nor am I jealous or unable to move on from Alex. In fact, I came here because I wanted to give gifts to you, Alex, and Mama Savana.”
Hearing her name mentioned, Savana immediately reacted. But before she could retort, Aurora spoke again.
“Just so you know, I’ve had trouble sleeping waiting for today. If you want to know, I’ve been preparing all of this for a long time. I can’t wait to give you all these special gifts.”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Nicole grunted. She felt annoyed listening to Aurora rambling too much.
“What kind of gifts do you want to give? You’re talking too much.”
Aurora smiled thinly.
“Are you curious?”
“Well, if it’s not important, you should just go home quickly. Alex and I want to rest.”
“Just relax, Nicole. There’s no need to rush like that.”
From the door, suddenly Asher appeared. The man entered Savana’s house with a woman by his side. “Don’t you want to meet your mother? It’s such a pity her daughter got married, but she wasn’t invited.”
Both Savana and Alex were surprised to see the woman Asher brought in. Especially Savana, who immediately reacted.
“Is she your mother?” Savana asked to confirm. “Didn’t you tell Mama that you’ve been an orphan all this time?”
“Careless!” Asher replied, then laughed. Who knows what lies Nicole had told Savana and Alex. But one thing was for sure, Asher wanted to reveal everything today. “Nicole’s birth mother and her siblings are still alive and kicking. She just casually said they were gone.”
Nicole’s face panicked. Before she could give a response or rebuttal, Asher looked outside the house, then quickly returned with another person.
“As for this man, I’m sure you all know him, right?”
This time Nicole’s eyes widened perfectly. Instantly her head began to ache upon seeing the man Asher brought in.
