Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

“Yeah. So what?” Aurora stared him into his eyes and taunted fearlessly, “What’s your problem with it? At least, I can protect myself in this way!”

“Aurora!” Sion called her name furiously as if he was about to explode.

“Shut up!” Aurora thundered. She went downstairs without looking back and slammed the door.

Sion listened to her footsteps, gritted his teeth but couldn’t do anything! Aurora had become a different person recently. She used to be sweet and obedient. He thought it over but couldn’t tell since when she had changed. Or maybe this was the real her. Maybe she thought it was time to set herself free and be her own self since they were getting a divorce soon. Sion heaved a long sigh and followed her to the first floor.

Ariana was alone at the dinning room, and had just set the table. Aurora sat down on the chair and looked back towards the living room.

“Your dad said he has no appetite. It’s OK. I’ll cook something else for him later.” Ariana said and gave Aurora the chicken soup, “Where’s Sion? What held him back there?”

Aurora heard it, took a sip of the soup and said nothing. Apparently, she was gonna ignore him. Sion came down with a long face. He pulled the chair hard and made a big noise against the floor.

Seeing that, Ariana knew something was off! Did they fight again? She glimpsed at them calmly, and found both of them were angry and stubborn. Ariana sighed quietly and could do nothing but talk sense into them. Bailey had pretended to have cancer in order to keep his son’s marriage, and she must do her job as well.

Ariana put some food to Sion’s plate and said meaningfully, “The next-door couple argued again yesterday. I thought they wouldn’t speak for a couple of days. But, guess what? I saw them taking a walk hand in hand this morning.”

Sion and Aurora seemed to have tacit understanding. Both of them focused on eating and neither of them said a word.

“I think we can talk things through. Any couple have their ups and downs. They fight. They make peace. They’re still a family. No need to fuss over and upset about something petty, right?”

Saying it, she glanced at them and couldn’t get anything. Well, she must say they were exactly the same when they were stubborn. Ariana stopped talking. Not any other sound could be heard in the dinning room except the forks and knives clinking on the plate.

A moment later, she thought it was weird to eat in silence and changed the topic, “Sion, how are you doing in Carroll Group? Are you fitting in?”

“Yep.” Sion nodded and said naturally, “Basically, I’ve been on track.”

“Well, that’s great.” Ariana glanced at Aurora, “We’re working with Aurora’s company, right? Your father has told me Aurora is the person in charge.”

Sion glimpsed at Aurora but said nothing. In fact, Aurora didn’t want to say anything, but she was pissed by his glimpse. She put down the fork and knife and said seriously, “It’s true. Our company is working with Carroll Group to create a new brand. I was the chief designer of the project.”

“Oh, really?” Ariana was interested in it. She sat up and added, “So, are you working with Sion?”

“That’s nice! Sion can help you. Would you like to show me your designs? Let me have a look?”

Help? Forget that! She would be grateful if he didn’t cause her extra troubles.

“Ariana, all the designs have been wasted.” Aurora raised her voice and looked towards Sion from time to time, and taunted, “Those designs were denied and rejected like trash!”

“Oh My…” Ariana didn’t pay attention to Sion’s face, and thought she had to be empathetic when she heard that Aurora’s designs had been rejected!

“What! Didn’t he have any taste of fashion? Of course, Aurora is the best designer! Your designs are the best! Tell Sion to fire that stupid guy!”

Sion, who was said to have no taste of fashion, was speechless. He looked at Aurora’s complacent face and took a deep breath, “Until now, you still haven’t figured out you were wrong about the market orientation, have you?”

Ariana looked at Sion then Aurora. Not until then did she realize that Sion was the one who she had accused of having no taste of fashion. She zipped it immediately.

Aurora blinked her eyes and knew she had make a mistake. She managed her emotion and said in a righteous voice, “It’s all gone. I just hope Mr. Carroll can take my new designs more seriously. Be professional and impartial.”

Sion felt worse to hear her indifferent voice, and stood up, “Excuse me. My mother doesn’t feel well. I must go and check on her. Enjoy your breakfast.” He stared at Aurora and turned to get out of the dinning room.

“Aurora…” Ariana looked at her with anxiety and didn’t know what she should say to comfort her.

“I’m fine, Ariana.” Aurora smiled and went back to eating.

Ariana told Bailey everything before she went to bed, “Well, I have a hunch that something is different this time, but I can’t tell what it is.”

“Stupid son!” Bailey gnashed, “I’ve pretended to be dying but still can’t get him back on the right track. Does he really want me to die of caner? ”

“Hell no! I must get him back in the house. I’m gonna tell him off or kick his ass!” Saying it, Bailey pulled up the blanket.

Ariana stopped him hastily, “Gosh! What do you think you are doing? You’ll get busted. You have cancer and can’t get out of bed! ”

Right! Bailey heard Sion and Aurora were getting a divorce and decided to pretend he had cancer under the emergency. He pretended to be sick and made the call just in time, otherwise, Aurora would have divorced Sion already.

“But you can’t keep pretending all the time. Sion and Aurora care much about you, and they’ll find out sooner or later.” said Ariana.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Figure out something then!” Bailey sat down on the bed again, “The best way is… they won’t get a divorce if they have a child. A child can save their marriage!”

Aurora began doing the design work as soon as she returned to her room. To some extent, what she told Sion today had encouraged her. She looked at the finished designs and put on a happy smile. She put away the laptop and found some snacks from the closet.

She was in a bad mood and didn’t have much for dinner. So, she got a little hungry. Even Aurora couldn’t tell why she suddenly had a great appetite. She felt like eating all the time and she could taste some food that she had never tried before.

Aurora looked herself in the mirror and sighed with relief after she made sure that she didn’t gain weight and her skin looked smoother. She had some snacks and suddenly felt sick to the stomach. When she smelled the shrimp chips again, she was disgusted with it. Aurora threw the snack into the dustbin and lay on the bed, thinking it was time to do a general check-up.
