Chapter 127 It’s Being Out of the Line Now
"I am Sion Carroll, student of your father's." He had no idea where the racing heartbeat came from and
why he has been uncharacteristically nervous.
"Uh-huh." The girl answered, hopping down the last steps like a little rabbit. She walked up to him with
her hands behind her back and looked up at him. "Well... Where's my dad?"
"He's in the study." He was too shy to look at her in the eyes, so he broke eye contact pretending to be
indifferent. However, the tips of his ears betrayed him by being reddish. At this time Toby just came out
of the study, smiling broadly at his daughter before him.
"You're so quiet when I came back, I thought you weren't home."
The girl grinned, "I'm upstairs painting!"
Toby handed the paper to Sion and introduced, "You've met, I suppose. This is my daughter, Aurora."
Then he said to his daughter, "Aura, this is daddy's student. He's a little older than you, so don't be
rude." The girl liked to play pranks occasionally, whoever you are.
"Gotcha!" Aurora made a face to his father, and smiled at Sion, "Hi, you're cute."
The instant Sion looked into her sparkling eyes, it's like fireworks bloom all over the sky and fall down
in silence in his heart, where his love for her was seeded. Years passed, and he thought the seed
would eventually blossom and bear fruit, only to germinate and wither.
Sion leaned back with a hand covering his forehead. A drop of tears rolled down from the outer corner
of his eyes without leaving a trace.
He straightened up, pushed open the door and got off the car. All this should end, he should be
responsible for Nevaeh, whereas the girl that hopped into his heart at a young age would have her own
bright future without him.
Aurora awoke in the evening after a drowsy sleep in the ward and had a sad dream that she didn't
remember yet left a sadness in her heart where she held her hand over. It felt weird.
"You woke up?" The sudden sound startled Aurora who lifted her eyes and saw Sion sat on the sofa
not far away.
"You're sitting here so quiet. What are you doing?" Aurora got out of bed and reached the table, serving
herself a glass of water and gulping it down. She didn't look well.
Sion looked at her and said with a heavy voice, "There's something I want to tell you."
Aurora turned her head and looked at him. Thinking of the phone call from Nevaeh just now, she felt
the same dull pain in her heart again.
She had to look away and asked calmly, "What is it?"
His eyes fixed upon her. "I went home and found the marriage certificate we had given him in his
study." There was little sign of emotion in his tone of voice. The sentiment passed through his eyes was
also unreadable. After a pause he continued, "Aurora, I think we should divorce."
There was no reason to delay any longer, not to mention his father had known the whole story. He
couldn't keep Nevaeh waiting.
Aurora lowered her eyes, holding tighter the water cup unconsciously, and said with studies
casualness, "Okay."
She was not surprised at all, thanks to the phone call. In effect, she knew Sion would bring it up with
her. It was just earlier than she expected, which was good. Maybe it was good to got this over with
sooner.
"You can ask for anything you want."
To Aurora, Sion's grave eyes were like a black vortex and his chilly voice sounded like he's in a
negotiation.
"I will promise you whatever you asked for. You may think it over."
"Needn't to." Aurora put down the water cup and smiled with a hint of irony, "You have nothing to worry
about. I don't covet your property because I won't take anything that is not mine." Just like this man
who didn't belong to her either, she had no need to get attached to him.
"You…" Sion wanted to say something, but was interrupted, "Now that you've already made up your
mind, let's get it all done as soon as possible. There's no point in putting it off."
Sion tightened his thin lips, and his sorrowful eyes flashed a trace of pain, which he hid immediately.
"… Fine."
Aurora nodded, "If there's nothing else, I'll go to see Ariana." She picked up the phone to leave, but
nearly fainted the moment she turned around.
Sion caught her quickly and pulled her into his arms. "What's wrong?" he asked anxiously.
"I'm all right." Aurora pushed him away with a cold face and stepped aside. "I'm just a little
hypoglycemic," she said, "I will be fine eating something."

"We'd better keep our distance, otherwise… Nevaeh would misunderstand us." She walked out of the
room without looking at him.
The hand to reach her froze in midair, then he clenched his fist and pulled it back.
She was right. Now that he had made his choice, he would never have the chance to stand by her, and
any touch between them would be overstepping the line.
