Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

“Why?” Albie looked at her serious face and frowned.

Wasn’t it a bliss to have a child? Especially to a rich and influential family like the Carroll family. He bet everyone in the family wanted the child, even if they didn’t love each other.

Aurora pursed her lips for a while and finally said, “Because I’m getting a divorce with Sion.”

He loved Nevaeh, and it wouldn’t change a thing even though he knew she was pregnant with his child. In that case, she would like to keep it from him and save herself lots of troubles.

“Anyway, Albie, just pretend you don’t know anything!”

“Then…”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I’m fine. Really!” Aurora acted like she didn’t care, “It’s the best to leave him. It’s good for both of us. We don’t have to tie up to each other with the child. I’ll raise the child on my own.”

Albie stared at the top of her hair gloomily and said nothing. Aurora was right that it was only a child. He would take him as his own if she really wanted to keep the baby. It didn’t matter who the biological father was. But right at this moment, Sion opened the door and came in. He hid his anxious look when he saw Aurora, and looked as calm and cool as usual.

Aurora didn’t expect him, and she was a little surprised to see him. It was a happy surprise. Albie happened to see it all. He had guessed it right that Aurora did care about Sion. But, so what? Sion was getting a divorce with her and he didn’t deserve Aurora’s love.

Sion was a jerk who had taken advantage of Aurora while he was gone. Aurora was a dependent girl, and it made sense that she had fallen for him after living under the same roof with him for three years. But Aurora could only be his since he was back!

Sion looked towards him as well. Albie was sitting very close to him and they glared at each other. Both of then narrowed their eyes slightly, which meant the competition was on!

“What are you doing here, Mr. Doyle?”

“Mr. Carroll, you’re so ill-informed. I took Aurora to hospital. Of course I’m here.” Albie smiled.

“Really?” Sion took his eyes off him, turned to Aurora and said peacefully, “Are you injured?”

“No… I… I’m fine.”

Aurora thought of the baby and avoided making eye contact with him, “Albie will stay here with me. You can go home first if you’re busy.”

Sion pulled a long face in a flash. Was she trying to kick him out when he just arrived? He glimpsed at Albie, who was sitting with his back to him, and knew he was guarding against him. Fine, she got company and didn’t need him. He managed to hide his jealousy, fixed his eyes on Aurora and frowned, “Look at you. Can you just be more careful, huh? You keep getting yourself injured in the last two moths!”

She had been injured lots of times and she was ruining her health. Aurora thought of how he had told her off and felt more wronged. That was what he thought of her, right? He hated her for pulling him back and being so stupid.

Aurora was down. Albie, saw her sadness and couldn’t help to feel sorry for her. It seemed Sion didn’t care about her.

“Mr. Carroll, you don’t need to be so mean to a patient.” He tucked Aurora in and showed they were close, “After all, you’re just Aurora’s god-brother, and you’re in no position to lecture her.” He might just pretend he didn’t know anything since he had promised Aurora to keep the secret.

Sion watched him doing that, got furious and felt he was about to blow his top. He stared at Albie and snorted, “Then what’s your relationship with Aurora?”

“Mr. Carroll, you might not know that, ” Albie looked at him calmly and confidently, “Aurora is my future bride. We’ve made pact.”

“Albie…” Aurora was stunned to hear that and didn’t know what to do. What was wrong with him to tell Sion something like that?

As unexpected, Sion was shocked. Albie had just spoken his mind publicly. He saw Albie turn back and look Aurora in the eye. They just couldn’t wait to do these lovey-dovey stuff in front of him.

Albie winked at Aurora and said in a soft voice, “Don’t you forget that you used to chase after me and say that you’ll marry me when you grow up?”

Aurora recalled they had played house when they were little, and they had done many more silly things. She burst out laughing and said helplessly, “Oh, come on! Albie, please don’t embarrass me with those silly childhood things!”

Albie saw her smiling face and got relaxed, “You’ve promised. Are you gonna eat your words?”

In Sion’s eyes, they were flirting. Aurora was sweet and obedient, while Albie was tender and wild. But he hadn’t got a divorce with Aurora, and she was still his official wife! Sion lowered his eyes and felt he couldn’t stay there any longer. He turned to Aurora and said in a very peaceful voice, “OK. I gotta go.”

He paused and asked again, “Are you gonna stay in hospital?”

“Nah…”

Aurora remembered Sion had many acquaintances in the hospital and they would possibly find out she was pregnant if she stayed in hospital. It would be too bad if any of them let the cat out of the bag and told Sion the truth.

“I’m fine. I’ll go home later.”

Sion nodded, “Can you go home by yourself? I came to take the medication for Nevaeh and have to bring it to her first. Or… do you want me to pick you up later?”

He ignored Albie on purpose, went on talking about going home and buttoned up his suit jacket, while Aurora felt sad and bitter to see his poker face. Right. Sion had always cared about Nevaeh. He came to take the medication for Nevaeh and checked on her by the way. She saw he was in a hurry and thought he was worried about her. Ridiculous!

“No bother. I can go home by myself.”

Aurora thought it was fortunate that she had decided not to tell him about the baby. Otherwise, she had no idea how sad she would be when she heard those heartless words out from him.

Sion nodded, glanced at Albie and left without hesitation.

“Are you going home, Aurora?” Albie doubted it.

Aurora was still looking towards the door. She heard his voice and nodded, “Yeah. I’m OK. I can go home now.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah.”

Albie didn’t say anything else since she insisted going home. Then he packed her stuff. A moment later, he finished packing and bent down in front of the bed, “Come on. Let me carry you.”

Aurora felt like crying. Albie had spoiled her since she was little. And, she got nothing to fear even if she was getting a divorce with Sion. Albie was back and she wouldn’t be alone again!

“OK.” Aurora sniffed, got off the bed, climbed on Albie’s back and held his neck.

“Hold tight.” Albie stood up and carried her out of the ward.

On the other end of the corridor, Sion had come downstairs after he got the medication and happened to see them leaving. Sion paused his steps, looked bloody cold and clenched his fists…
