Trapped in a Secret Marriage with a Dangerous Billionaire - Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Full Support

“Ma’am, you finally revealed the secret. How do you feel about it?” Nene asked as a small smile graced her lips. She was incredibly proud of her mistress for finally slipping out of her shell.

“Truth be told,” Aurora smiled, shifting her gaze to her. “I feel like the world revolves around me now.”

For a moment, she allowed herself to feel like the most important person in the world. And it wasn’t a bad thing to indulge in that dream for a minute.

Aurora wasn’t bothered revealing her relationship with Xander during her interview even though he planned to publicly announce their relationship during the state dinner. She had checked the timing for when the Vogue issue would be released and the state dinner and had discovered that it would be on the same day.

The only thing she had to do right now was to inform Xander about it so he would be well aware just in case he had other plans.

A deep sigh escaped Aurora’s lips as she looked out through the window of the car, a small smile gracing her lips. She felt proud and confident in herself.

At the other end, Olivia was finally released from the hospital and instead of going back to the Scott family residence, she returned to the Swift residence with her mother.

Stephanie was surprised when she returned home from work and saw her lying on one of the couches in the living room eating pomegranates.

Olivia saw her come in and greeted her casually before moving her gaze back to the TV.

“Are you here to spend the weekend and get some rest?” Stephanie inquired as she settled on the single couch.

“No, Aunt. I’m here for good,” Olivia replied without taking her eyes off the Television. “I’m serious about divorcing Owen, and I have sent the divorce papers to him. I will be going to the Scott residence to pick it up along with my things on Monday evening.”

Stephanie released a deep sigh. “I hope you would be very careful this time around with men and seriously look into anyone who comes to you again.”

As soon as Olivia heard that, she cast her glance at her. “I won’t be making such choices in the future. I have left everything for my mother to take care of.”

Stephanie nodded and told her to rest up before leaving the room. Although her emotions didn’t reveal anything, she knew Stella must be up to something with Olivia’s next marriage partner, and couldn’t wait to find out what it was.

As Aurora returned home, she asked about Xander and learnt that he was in his study, so she went to meet him there.

She knocked softly on the door and let herself in and as soon as she walked in, he lifted his gaze as a smile contoured his face.

“You are back?” How was the interview?” Xander asked, standing to his feet and stepping out from behind his desk with his arms spread apart.

Aurora smiled as she came over. She first put her bag down on his desk before entering his embrace. “It was wonderful, and I had a lot of fun,” she said as his strong arms wrapped around her waist.

“I’m glad you had fun,” he said, pressing a soft kiss on her forehead. “Let’s sit over there so you can tell me everything,” he said, pointing at the sitting area after releasing her from his embrace.

Though Xander had been working on something before she came in, he didn’t think twice before abandoning it just to give his attention to her and talk about her day with her.

Aurora was grateful for that move and didn’t bother reminding him about his work. She followed his lead to the sitting area and sat down next to him on the two-sitter couch.

As soon as they settled down, she started telling her story from the time she arrived at the venue. She couldn’t stop smiling as she recounted the scenes in full detail. She also repeated the interview questions and the answers she gave.

Right now, Aurora seemed like a teenager speaking about her crush to her mother.

Xander levelled her with a proud smile as he listened attentively to her. He put an arm on her shoulder and drew her in. But when he learned that she revealed about their marriage during the course of the interview, he paused for a moment.

Thinking that he was mad at her for doing that, Aurora’s mood dampened, and she sought to explain herself, but Xander didn’t give her the chance.

“You gave Rachel Lee such an exclusive and unexpected information, she must have been very happy,” Xander spoke from above her head and instead of getting angry, he smiled which was surprising to Aurora.

She lifted her head and said, “I thought you were mad at me?”

“Sweetheart, why would I be mad at you?” Xander’s brows furrowed slightly as he observed her face, and that was when he noticed that she looked sad. “You did the right thing,” he said and set on to explain what he meant about the timing and everything else, and only then did a smile return to her face.

“I can already picture the world going crazy when they find out that you belong to me,” Xander said thoughtfully. “Me too,” Aurora admitted with a chuckle. “The scene has refused to leave my head.”

Monday arrived quickly. Aurora went to work as usual and got started on her day. Towards 10 AM, she went to the winery to check on the new Fruit Punch Champagne flavour and the wine she was working on.

Everything was going so great over there, so she just gave a few pointers and checked the quality control system before returning back to the office.

At noon, she had lunch first before attending a meeting chaired by Stephanie. She talked about the new champagne and its possible release date before mentioning Princess Victoria’s visit which was around the corner.

“I believe we are ready to host the princess and show how why we are the best?” Stephanie asked, looking at everyone before resting her gaze on Aurora.
