Chapter 215: Let Bygones Be Bygones

Julian had just come downstairs when he heard Susan cursing furiously. He looked at Aurora with a heart full of pity. "Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine," Aurora hastened to reassure him.

She tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, a simple gesture many women make.

Yet, this unconscious movement of Aurora's only made him feel more tender towards her. The charm and gentleness of this small action highlighted the biggest change in her-it was her aura.
