Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

The man’s kiss and his whispered words made ripples in Aurora’s once-firm heart. She was momentarily lost in thought before she suddenly snapped back to reality.

No, this couldn’t be right!

How could she forget the pain she had suffered? And what about the scars left on her body from that murder five years ago? Although they had been repaired later on, they were still visible and a constant reminder of the trauma.

Aurora clenched her bed sheets tightly as she tried to calm herself down. She couldn’t afford to let her guard down, especially not with Sion, her enemy.

Her mind was a mess so Aurora decided to take a shower and change into some comfortable clothes. As she dried her hair, she went over tonight’s events again in her head.

Sion had come looking for her tonight to ask about that night five years ago. He even believed that Nevaeh was responsible for it all. It made sense that Sion had insisted that Albie was the father of their child all those years ago.

Did Sion find out who Morgan was?

Aurora froze at the thought. Why else would he suddenly bring up that night after all these years?

She put down the towel and picked up her phone, dialling Cameron’s number after some hesitation.

After two rings, Cameron answered with concern evident in his voice, “It’s late, is everything okay?”

Aurora apologized before explaining, “I just wanted to give you a heads up. I might be sending Momo and Theo your way soon.”

“But you called me at this hour, is there something happening?”

“Yeah, I think that Sion might have known who Morgan is.”

Cameron sounded happy at first but then became serious when Aurora mentioned Sion, “If they stay any longer than necessary in Lower Hopton, there will be more danger.”

“I know.” Replied Aurora solemnly, “Thank you for understanding.”

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll go pick them up myself if need be.”

“Okay.” Aurora felt a little relieved after hanging up the phone. As long as she sent both children away, she would have no worries.

It was only today that Aurora realized how many misunderstandings there were between her and Sion. The earthquake eight years ago was one, and the night five years ago was another. Perhaps they didn’t have the fate.

They had been married for a while. If they liked each other, they wouldn’t have ended up with a divorce because of another woman, Nevaeh.

Thinking of this, Aurora couldn’t help but laugh. Sion considered himself smart but he was still being played around by the woman one after another. But she couldn’t just let it go like this. This man came to her tonight and caused such a commotion. She had to give him something good.

Aurora paced around the room with her arms crossed and tapped lightly on her forearm with her fingers.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on the dressing table not far away and a smirk appeared on her lips.

Got it!

Downstairs, Sion was completely unaware and sound asleep. Aurora held an eyeliner pencil and lipstick in hand as she kicked him slightly with satisfaction. Now he was lying here at her mercy.

She sneered then crouched down to draw on both his cheeks.

Later, she used an eyeliner to paint his eyebrows and eyes. Finally, she gave him red lips.

Looking at her work on his face, Aurora felt satisfied while she could barely recognize this man.

She laughed lightly before heading upstairs in good spirits

She slept soundly all night long without any dreams disturbing her peace until the next morning when thoughts of the man downstairs shattered it once again.

She wondered whether he had left or not.

Aurora took a deep breath and then quickly changed clothes before going downstairs, ready to face whatever awaited below. To her disappointment, the man was still lying motionless on the sofa, clearly still asleep.

If Morgan and Theodore were to see this, with their quick-witted minds and wild imaginations, she couldn’t even imagine what they would come up with.

She would fail to explain it to either of them, Aurora reckoned.

Sion couldn’t see them either.

Thinking about all of this made Aurora feel restless. She grabbed a handful of hair and started walking.

“Sion!” She walked up to him and impatiently tapped him on the shoulder.

The person on the sofa didn’t react.

“Don’t think that I’ll let you stay just because you’re like this.” Aurora frowned. She had an impulse to pour a bucket of water over him again.

“I already did my duty by letting you stay for one night yesterday. Get up!”

She looked upstairs. It wouldn’t be good if her children woke up soon.

But no matter what she said, Sion remained motionless.

Aurora took two more steps forward and saw that he looked even redder than before; he seemed like he was in pain but it wasn’t the same expression as last night.

She reluctantly reached out a hand to touch his forehead, only to find that he had a fever.

Aurora quickly lifted off his blanket and found that his clothes were still wet inside.

She regretted not checking earlier but quickly began thinking about what needed to be done next. At this moment, she saw a servant carrying food coming inside.

“Where is Lewys?”

“He went out. Is there anything you need, Miss?”

“… Nothing.” Aurora waved her hand, “Never mind, go ahead with your work.”

She wanted Lewys to help Sion change into dry clothes but since he wasn’t around now, other female servants wouldn’t be appropriate for such tasks either.

“Hmph!”

Aurora sighed heavily; it seemed like she owed him something from another lifetime.

Then she bent down and helped Sion stand up straight while holding onto his waist with one arm and placing her other arm under his shoulder for support. Since he was tall enough, both of his legs almost touched the ground.

“Come over, help me!”

“Slow down, Miss.” The maid hurriedly came over to offer assistance.

With the help of the maid, Aurora finally managed to carry Sion up to the guest room on the first floor.

The maid didn’t know this man’s identity, but she didn’t ask any more questions.

“Miss, do you need any help?”

Aurora took a couple of breaths and replied, “No thanks. You can go now.”

The maid was unmarried and it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to change his clothes.

Now, only Aurora could do it herself.

She might as well pretend she was blind.
