Chapter 283 An Address
She quickly tried on the screen after ncing in the direction of the bathroom.
Sion would need a while to deal with the wine stain on his clothes, but if she entered the wrong
password, there would be a prompt on the screen. So she had to hurry.
His birthday?
Nope.
Feeling her hand numb from the vibration of an incorrect password attempt, Aurora thought for a
moment about Nevaeh''s birthday. A string of numbers quickly came to mind, but it still wasn''t right.
Could it be his mother''s birthday?
Nope one of them was right.
She racked her brain but had no clue. Sion''s life was so strict; how could he randomly set a group of
numbers as his phone password?
Aurora looked in the direction of the bathroom and became increasingly anxious. Suddenly, an absurd
idea popped into her head. But she denied herself the next second.
While thinking this way in her mind, Aurora''s fingers uncontrobly pressed several digits. Suddenly,
there was a turn on-screen and Aurora stared at it incredulously.
There was nkness in her mind for a moment. Even heartbeats stopped momentarily along with
fingers pressing down digits suspended mid-air.
Her shocked look appeared on the bright mobile phone screen before she snapped out of it. Later, she
realized that now wasn''t time for these thoughts. She needed to quickly check if there were any useful
information on his phone.
She quickly flipped through his message box and call records but found no unusual messages until she
opened an unmarked text message, which caught sight of something strange. There was only an
address written in it.
"Hignd Resort Warehouse".
This was a new project developed by Carroll Group that hadn''t been opened yet.
Could he have hidden criminals there?
Aurora felt doubtful but didn''t have time for more thinking. After checking other messages without
finding anything unusual, she turned off his mobile phone and put it back where he left it earlier. She
secretly noted down that address, feeling uneasy deep within herself.
"What''s in the warehouse at Hignd Resort?" she thought to herself.
After a moment, Sion returned from the restroom with only a faint water stain left on his shirt, where the
wine had spilt earlier. He nced over at Aurora and saw that her expression was even worse than
before, causing him to feel concerned.
"Aurora?"
Sion moved closer to her, furrowing his brow slightly as he looked at her quizzically, "Is something
bothering you?"
Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
"No," Aurora replied with an unnatural tone as she nced briefly at him before turning back to look at
the food on their table.
"It seems like fate doesn''t want us to drink today, so let''s finish up and get back to work this afternoon."
She had already put down her utensils, clearly indicating that she was finished eating.
"Okay," Sion said reluctantly. He wished they could spend more time together since their interaction
today had been much more harmonious than before.
But when he thought about how much progress they''d made in their rtionshippared to before,
he couldn''t help but feel satisfied. He took a sip of water and looked over at Aurora again. "Are you full?
Do you want some dessert?"
At this point, however, Aurora was lost in thought and didn''t have any interest in talking or eating
anymore. "No thanks." Replied she.
Her mind was tangled up with all sorts of things that needed sorting out quickly.
"Alright then, let''s go." Said Sion.
After leaving the restaurant together, they parted ways immediately once outside.
Aurora drove home alone while Cameron stayed behind ying games with two little kids who were
visiting for the day.
When she arrived home, Cameron walked out of the house with the kids.
"Why are you back so early?"
Aurora ignored his teasing tone and spoke seriously instead, "I found a ce that might be
problematic."
Cameron raised an eyebrow curiously as he led one child into the house while holding another by
hand.
"What did you find out?"
"Hignd Resort."
Aurora poured herself a ss of water and drank most of it down quickly before exining everything
including her previous suspicions regarding Sion''s involvement in whatever might be going on there.
"So I n to go and confirm it myself tomorrow," Aurora said.
Cameron noticed her slight fear and said, "I''ll go with you. I don''t trust you going alone."
Aurora looked at him, feeling warm inside. She didn''t refuse in the end.
The next morning, after settling Theodore and Morgan, Aurora got in the car with Cameron and headed
towards Hignd Resort.
Cameron drove while fiddling with the navigation system for a moment before casually asking, "Why is
this ce so remote?"
"That''s a new resort developed by Carroll Group. The whole project upies two mountainsides and
it''s their biggest investment project this year. They''re promoting it as a peaceful natural getaway."
Aurora exined.
"Hmm, not a bad idea," Cameronmented.
Sometimes going against the norm could be good business.
Aurora nodded but then suddenly felt ufortable in her stomach.
"Wait..."
Cameron turned to look at her and asked with concern, "What''s wrong? Are you feeling sick?"
"... It''s just that my stomach feels uneasy."
Aurora happened to notice a mall not far away from her and she said, "Can you park over there so I
can use the restroom."
Cameron changednes to pull into the mall parking lot with hazard lights on.
Aurora got out of the car quickly but felt embarrassed about having to exin herself further, "I''ll be
back soon."
She took her phone inside with relief that they were still within city limits; if they had gone further into
rural areas or up into the mountains, she would have been more mortified if something happened
again.
Meanwhile, Cameron waited outside idly, scrolling through his phone until Aurora returned shortly
afterwards.
"Let''s go." Said Aurora.
Cameron put away his phone and walked around to open her door for her. Feeling helpless against his
chivalry skills, she could only smile wryly before getting in beside him again. Just at that moment,
Nevaeh happened to be right around the corner and she saw them.
