Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!-Chapter 605: A Clash of Paths! (Extra Story)

Aurora spent most of her days indoors, usually reading, listening to music, practicing singing, or exercising.

Of course, during her free time, she and Eleanor would sneak out to visit Ella.

Aurora truly enjoyed this kind of life.

After finding out Ella’s due date, Aurora decided to personally buy some gifts for the baby. Staying home all the time was getting too boring.

That evening, after informing Eleanor, she went out with Dominic and a bodyguard.

S City’s baby store had everything imaginable. Wearing sunglasses and a mask, Aurora casually wandered around. It had been a while since she went out, and suddenly, the bustling atmosphere outside seemed quite refreshing.

Dominic, on the other hand, was sneaky and cautious, afraid of being recognized or caught by the paparazzi.

"How about this little princess dress? Dominic, look at this—it’s pink and so adorable!" Aurora lifted a tiny dress and asked Dominic in a low voice.

Dominic smiled and nodded. "It’s nice, very pretty."

The dress was made of pure cotton, but the craftsmanship was excellent, and the price was steep. It was the first time Aurora had bought such an expensive baby dress, but she felt it was worth it.

"Wait, Aurora... isn’t that Alexander?"

Suddenly, Dominic leaned in and whispered, pointing to a man not far away.

Aurora looked over and saw Alexander with Mrs. Lewis and Peyton, browsing the baby formula section. Mrs. Lewis and Peyton were all smiles, while Alexander remained expressionless.

"Peyton, you need to take good care of your health now. Once you’re married, I hope to have a grandchild soon!"

Mrs. Lewis’ voice was loud, and Peyton responded with a gentle smile, her face showing a hint of shyness. "I know, Mom."

Huh, she was already calling her "Mom"? Was the wedding around the corner?

At that moment, Aurora suddenly felt that Alexander was a complete stranger. Though he called her every night and sent her messages, he never once mentioned Peyton.

Maybe he was afraid she’d be upset. But Aurora had a gut feeling—Mrs. Lewis’ words just now were a clear sign that the wedding was imminent.

"So that’s Mrs. Lewis... You can tell just by looking at her—she’s the mean type. Honestly, it’s good that you’re not with Alexander," Dominic gossiped.

Aurora stared at Alexander, who was being pressured into holding Peyton’s hand by Mrs. Lewis. Strangely, she no longer felt pain or heartache—just a faint sadness.

Seven years of love, ruined by both of them. She didn’t blame Alexander. Maybe she had been too naïve.

After all, it had been over two months since their explosive fight and breakup. If Alexander had done nothing wrong, Aurora would never have let go. She would still be holding onto him, unable to move on.

But after being bullied by Peyton, Alexander still stood by her side.

After being harassed and humiliated by Isaiah, Alexander could still watch coldly, his face devoid of emotion. Even if there was some internal struggle, it couldn’t overcome his indifference.

That kind of heartlessness only came from deeply rooted misunderstandings. Aurora never imagined things would come to this.

Alexander wasn’t as loving or as great as she once thought.

That night, Aurora’s heart had already died. Seeing this scene now, it was only natural that she no longer felt any pain. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Stop looking, Aurora. Don’t be sad," Dominic thought she was staring because she was hurting and quickly comforted her.

Aurora snapped back to reality, placed the dress into the shopping cart, and pushed it in the opposite direction.

She really didn’t want to run into them, so avoiding them was the best option.

Aurora and Dominic picked out a few more gifts and still needed to buy some gold and silver items. After checking out, she planned to visit the Chow Sang Sang jewelry store across the street.

But unexpectedly, when Aurora handed over her card at the checkout, the cashier girl stared intently at her nose. Even though only her nose was visible, the girl had sharp eyes and suddenly grabbed Aurora’s hand, exclaiming, "Oh my god, are you Miss Aurora? Your features look just like hers! I’m a huge fan—can I get your autograph?"

Dominic and the bodyguard were both stunned. Aurora quickly pulled her hand back. "You’ve got the wrong person."

Lowering her voice deliberately, she grabbed her shopping bags and strode toward the exit.

But it was too late—the girl’s voice had already caught the attention of people nearby, and soon, a crowd gathered, taking photos.

People in Country S were obsessed with celebrities and loved showing off their star encounters. Now Aurora was in trouble—there was no way to leave quickly.

A sharp voice rang out from behind, making Aurora feel nothing but disgust.

"Aurora, is that you?"

Peyton?

She really couldn’t stand not stirring up trouble, could she? Aurora had been trying to avoid them, but Peyton just wouldn’t let it go.

As Aurora, Dominic, and their group reached the elevator, Peyton, Mrs. Lewis, and Alexander caught up with them.

Peyton grabbed Aurora’s hand, her face lighting up with excitement.

"Aurora, it is you! Why are you ignoring me? Are you still mad at me? I’m sorry, I never meant to upset you. Alexander and I..."

"Peyton, you don’t need to explain anything to her! She’s just a shameless woman who ditched my son the moment she found herself a rich man. Absolutely disgraceful!"

Mrs. Lewis yanked Peyton back and stepped in front of Aurora, her eyes filled with pure malice. The way she looked at Aurora was as if she were some kind of cockroach—disgusting. Well, the feeling was mutual.

Alexander might have been a decent person, but his mother? Absolutely classless.

A crowd quickly gathered, surrounding them with phones raised, recording the scene. Aurora leaned against the mall’s railing as Mrs. Lewis, determined not to let her off, pointed a finger at her and began shouting.

"You’ve always been a slut! You seduced my son back in high school, and now that you’ve become some rich man’s plaything, you still won’t leave my son alone? What, you came here just to get Alexander’s attention?"

Dominic was furious. He hadn’t expected to run into such a foul-mouthed woman, and he was just about to snap back when Aurora stopped him.

People around them were already recording. If Dominic got into an argument, the public might twist the story to make it seem like Aurora had instigated the whole thing.

As a public figure, not only did she need to protect her image—sometimes, she had to show some dominance too. It was time to put a loudmouth and a fake sweetheart in their place.

"Mom, stop talking nonsense! I was the one who chased after Aurora, not the way you’re making it sound! If you have something to say, let’s talk about it at home!" Alexander’s face was red with frustration. He knew this scene wasn’t good for Aurora’s reputation at all.

Peyton quickly grabbed the agitated Mrs. Lewis and spoke softly, "Mom, don’t be too harsh on Aurora. She has her own struggles..."

Oh wow. So this little white lotus wasn’t even bothering to deny anything? She was basically confirming everything Mrs. Lewis had said with her fake concern. What a two-faced, shameless green tea bitch.

Aurora had learned to stay calm. She simply stood there, silent. Dominic, still being held back by her, wasn’t sure what she was planning, but he decided to stay quiet and follow her lead.
