Chapter 882 - 908: Legendary Life (Part 2)
"You’ve mentioned it’s been causing quite a stir," Aurora Cooper smiled, the answer was obvious.
"Your emotions and your career are equally legendary, in your opinion, which is more significant?" Eve Scott, having hosted programs for years, understood the importance of priorities. Despite her curiosity about Aurora Cooper and Aiden Jiang’s story, her questions remained careful and polite.
Aurora pondered slightly.
Eve didn’t press her, instead, she smiled and said, "Or to put it another way, do you consider yourself more career-oriented or family-oriented?"
"Honestly, nowadays I value family more," Aurora provided a very clear answer.
"Oh?" Eve raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why is that? What do you think is the main reason for this shift in mindset?"
"My daughter," Aurora replied directly.
Eve looked at her, stunned for a moment, and the live audience also froze in surprise, then suddenly became excited.
Women are naturally perceptive and have an unusual knack for secrets and gossip. Aurora Cooper’s very cooperative demeanor made it clear she wasn’t trying to hide her private life. This interview wasn’t merely a crisis PR stint to build a positive image.
Eve certainly understood, smiling she continued, "Could you elaborate a bit more?"
"It’s a long story," Aurora said gently, "As it’s said online, my daughter is now twenty, so naturally, it started twenty years ago, the year she was born was the most turbulent year of my life. Three events happened that year: First, my first love cheated on me with my good friend, second, I met my current husband at a masquerade ball, third, I abandoned my daughter and went abroad."
"..."
The entire live studio fell into a moment of silence.
Eve looked at her intently and suddenly said, "That’s quite a lot to take in."
The live audience burst into laughter.
But Aurora didn’t laugh, her elegant brows furrowing slowly, she whispered, "Indeed. For so many years, I’ve always felt that year was the lowest point of my life. Love was not love, friendship was not friendship, the double blow made me forget even family, just wanting to hide and heal. Unexpectedly, during the healing process, I lost my innocence impulsively, and what’s even worse, I got pregnant. At that time, being pregnant out of wedlock was quite disgraceful, my parents’ teachings made me feel ashamed, but because of my poor health and emotional instability at that time, by the time I found out, the child was already several months along, I couldn’t bear to get rid of her, I made my own decision to have her, later..."
Aurora gritted her teeth and said, "I left her at the orphanage door and went abroad."
"After going abroad, how were the early days?" Eve bypassed the audience’s most pressing questions.
Aurora calmed down a bit, quietly said, "At first, it was certainly difficult, for a domestic designer to make a name abroad is tough, especially when I had just graduated with only a few works, the saddest times, at night, I didn’t even have a place to sleep. Alone in a foreign place, homeless, that feeling was terrible."
"Was it because you didn’t have money?"
"Pretty much."
Eve looked curious, "Ultimately, how did you resolve this predicament?"
It feels like it could make a great inspirational drama.
Aurora pressed her lips together, her eyes showed a surprisingly shy yet embarrassed smile, "When I was really at my wit’s end, I turned to my brother for help."
