CHAPTER 47 The Trap

  Aurora's POV

  "Aurora! I'm sorry I couldn't personally welcome you, but I had some business to attend to," Henry's voice came from the door, he was soon followed by a group of guards.

  He was wearing the suit I had gifted to him during our engagement. It had been a long time since I had presented him with it, and it seemed like he had purposefully taken it out today to wear it for me.

  I glanced at Daisy's expression out to the corner of my eye, she clearly didn't expect Henry to wear an outfit like that. Her face shifted to a complicated expression. Confused? Furious? Sad? Perhaps all three.

  I sat calmly on the sofa, watching Henry walk towards me. Daisy stood and quickly straightened her dress. I reached out one hand towards him.

  In just one second, Henry grabbed my hand, obediently kissing the back of it, and then let go. "Welcome back, Aurora."

  I stood up, using his hand for balance and smiled slightly. "Thank you. I have missed it here, Henry."
